[Mutual Friend]

Instead of having lots of short-lived threads about individual films or telly shows, I thought I'd start a blanket coverage, all-rounder of a thread. So, if there's a DVD you've just seen, cinema, TV, illegal download, whatever - just post here. Does that sound alright?

To start off, I watched a film on the tellybox early this morning that I've been curious about for a while called Mysterious Skin. It ain't going to be to everybody's taste, due to the fairly graphic scenes of homosexuality, child abuse, rape. The usual stuff. But they're handled in such a truthful, engaging and sensitive way that by the time you get to the ending it's just beautiful. It stars that guy from 3rd Rock from the Sun... you younger member alien member. I think he was alien anyway, been years since that show was on. Anyway, it was pretty wonderful - though very difficult to watch at times.
