It occurred to me this morning, as I was drying my hair, that The Eyes of the Dragon and "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" are basically the same story--one an heroic epic, and one a comedy.
Kelly, Duncan and Carlos (and anyone else interested in Midsummer fantasia)--we have to see this!
Were the World Mine
What teenager hasn’t fantasized about wielding magic to transform an indifferent object of desire into a besotted lover? In “Were the World Mine,” an indie alternative to Disney’s “High School Musical” franchise, Timothy (Tanner Cohen), a persecuted gay student at a private boys’ school outside Chicago, acquires such magic while rehearsing the role of Puck in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
When a purple flower spurting Cupid’s love juice mysteriously springs up in Titania’s bower, Timothy plucks it and later tosses its liquid into the eyes of his secret crush, Jonathon (Nathaniel David Becker), the ostensibly straight star of the rugby team. Mutual puppy love is instantaneous and intense.
How awesome does that sound?!
