something new

watching several pinoy gay-themed movie trailers, indie and studio-produced, made me wonder for a bit.

they seemed to be categorized into:
a. tragic love story
b. melodramedy
c. gayrishly "funny"

i admit, i don't see a lot of pinoy films. gay-themed or not.

because i end up thinking:

will the sad, tragic, and violent brokeback-inspired movies never end?
will the seemingly hilarious but over-the-top stereotyped gaymedies ever stop?
when will the endless overacting and underacting stop?

when will i see a sweet, heart-warming, and light story?
will i never hear a simple but moving and poignant dialogue?
will i ever get to watch a slice of non-overly-hyped real current life happening in a movie?

duda/doubt and bathhouse were very qaf. i love qaf.
bilog/circle was very crash. i love crash.
ang pagdadalaga ni oliveros was very charming. i loved it. loved it.
sibak was tragic. considered a breakthrough at the time. but still tragic. about a macho dancer.
i watched burlesk king mainly for tonio ortigas. as a macho dancer.
twilight dancers sort of flew past my memory. yet another macho dancer story?
parola... um, what was the story again? i just remember lots of gratuitous nudity. yum.
roxxxane... too late on the cell phone scandal theme.
selda seemed interesting. i'll probably watch it one of these days.
ang lihim ni antonio beckoned, but i didn't go.
daybreak seemed promising. i still didn't go.
hugot seems to be about men... in underwear. mostly tighty-whities.
manay po? er. i'll pass commenting on this one.

i do admit i haven't watched a lot of pinoy digiqueer movies. within the first 15 minutes, i get to see how the film is made. and within that 15 minutes, my attention has either been gripped or has been lost. like what happened to moreno - quickly ejected within 2 minutes from the dvd player.

the sudden rush of gay-themed movies have yet to inspire me to watch them at the movies. but i know i will eventually watch them. just not right away.

unless someone hot asks me out to watch it.
