Didn’t Beat make his blind swordsman not blind?

The Negotiator is an incredible movie, one of my favourites since it released.

To be fair to Lambert - he’s pretty much blind and can’t wear contact lenses.

Cameron Crowe wrote for Rolling Stone as a teen, it’s not that unusual, less so I’d say in the digital age. 

Who is the audience for this and how is it on your list of best queer coming of age movies before it’s even been released?

It’s a fair assessment and you’re 100% right about bi-erasure; I really enjoyed the movie but I wouldn’t say it’s one of my favourites.

My Own Private Idaho deserves a spot on this list, I found it very transformative in the 90s.

Handsome Devil is nothing like Heartstopper, the two queer people are centred as friends until a massive betrayal.

I think the first I heard of it was a week or two ago, no idea why it’s been flying so under the radar. 

I’m glad this is getting good reviews, De Caestecker deserved so much after AoS he was incredible in that

When practiced by people who do not identify as trans how is drag not essentially cosplaying a woman?

Agatha is in the can, I imagine Disney is keen to get that out just for something to have

That had to be written by AI?

He was on board as the director of the next Tomb Raider film for a long time until that fell through.

As an older queer guy, I fell in love with the comic years ago and was so happy when they knocked it out the park with series one.

He said on an American chat show that he only ever gets nominated for a Critic’s Choice award in the years where people reinvent the genre (Nanette and Inside).

Those are all solid choices, Allan is a great pick.

I’d say Nanette is one of the more important pieces of comedy to come out of there for a good long while but it does leave out Tim Minchin, Adam Hills, Brendon Burns’ “So I Suppose This is Offensive Now” was also an incredible special. 

The whole beginning of that show, bathed in trans pride colours is a masterpiece, plus the whole section on mental health was great too.

I’ve gone off him a bit over the years - I first caught him live at The Reading Festival in 2003 and then saw the Alcoholocaust tour, both of which were great (even if it was really clear in the latter he needed to stop drinking), but his recent stuff hasn’t really captured me as much.
