... confusion of reality and fantasy!
Call me a sadist, or someone who can't dream, but it is really beginning to annoy me how some gay movies are just so fake and unrealistic.
For starters, the actors are usually always bad, the story lines are worse, and the overall quality of them suck. They always consist of a full on sex scene, which I only think perpetuates the fact that with gay guys the only thing they really want is sex, and are incapable of having a serious relationship. And the L word is usually said at the beginning of the relationship.
It makes me think. Why do gay relationships always start off so fast that they are practically married after a week, and why is sex such a major impact on them? You rarely see straight love stories, where the couple have had sex the first night, and then the next day they are planning to move in together, and are taking one another to meet the parents. Are they only portraying gay relationships like this because thats the way they really are?
Every relationship, straight or gay, has the honeymoon period at the start. Everything is perfect, you love the other person so much, and then after a while you just get used to it. If its the right person than everything that seems to fall into place, if not then you start to find things wrong with them. Then those things are just magnified until you can't do it anymore and you leave. Well I think thats what happens to me.
Maybe I'm just annoyed that even movies feel the need to make sure that a gay love story and a straight love story be completely different. Shouldn't they be portrayed the same, or am I living in some sort of fantasy world, distancing myself from the reality of what a gay relationship really is.
Maybe thats why I'm still single, I'm waiting for a love story to happen like 'Serendipity', but maybe that only happens to straight people.

I think there could be a few reasons why gay movies end up the way they are - mostly to do with how films get their funding. For example, if a gay romantic comedy was after funding and it was basically the same as a straight romantic comedy - bigger funding bodies may ask that you simply change it to a guy and a girl for more mainstream appeal. Whereas the gay funding bodies might say it doesn't have enough specific 'gay' content to warrant funding. That's my overly simplistic theory anyway.
