hi there,...
i just got this note recently from my friend john cameron mitchell, his new movie 'shortbus' is out... see it pass the word... you won't be disapointed...lots of sex too...
here is his note w/ links...
hey all, jcm here, just wanted to give you a "Shortbus" heads-up (sorry if
you get more than one of these). We've been doing a lot of work this summer
getting trailers, posters, etc, together for our imminent and full release by
the fantastic Thinkfilm.
The Theatrical (censored) Trailer and the new Uncensored Trailer (woo hoo!)
are now up on _www.shortbusthemovie.com_ (www.shortbusthemovie.com/)
(full site with bells and whistles coming soon courtesy of Crew Creative and
Sean Belman). You can also find all trailers on _www.ifilm.com_
(www.ifilm.com/) . I'd love if anyone and everyone could spread this information
around on your email lists or post it in chat rooms, blogs, myspace, bathroom
walls (hey, that's an idea, with a rubber stamp made of a potato!). We need
all the help we can get since we're such a little tiny movie.
Interesting dates:
Sept 10 - North American Premiere, Toronto Film Festival, - followed by a
big concert party (see our site for tickets).
Oct. 4 - New York release at the Landmark Sunshine
Oct 6 - LA and SF release
Oct. 12 Wash DC / Reel Affermations opening nite
Oct. 13 through Nov - we expand across N. America
Come opening weekend cause that means we stay in the theaters longer!
Our soundtrack will come out in late October. We're thrilled to be released
by Team Love which is run by Nate Krenkel and Conor Oberst of the band Bright
Eyes. They're the love-liest!
Thanks to all. It's going great, jcm

Re: shortbus
Mon, October 9, 2006 - 1:56 PMThanks for the heads up on Shortbus! I have been waiting for this since JCM first started talking about it.
I just went and saw it Saturday in SF and what fun it was! The theater was full of fun people who were looking forward to the movie as much as we were.
It was a fun movie to watch and I am glad JCM got it made. I am so glad that it's opening at so many theaters and is getting good reviews for the most part.
I loved loved loved the opening scenes! I loved how many real people were in the movie and how natural they were. I don't recall one point where anyone sounded as though they had been rehearsed. I loved how the sex was so natural and how this movie felt like it included people I knew. Gay, leather tranny queer and straight. Perfect and flawed. Instead of the sex being something of a footnote in this movie it was the thread that ran through it and united folks..it's what fucked them up and what healed them. It was more than genitalia..it was who they were inside and out..so nice to see that shown to us on screen.
There were a couple of things that I didn't like so much about it. Justin Bond's voice could have been dubbed much better at the end when he is singing the last song ( and the song could have been a bit heartier to carry us off into the night). I found myself looking away so I wasn't so distracted by it. Some of the same folks were in the movie as were in Hedwig. I am not sure if that added to it or distracted from it for me.
My friend who went with me said " Want to know how easy I am? I came three times just watching that movie"...well she is easy.. but the movie was pretty sexy too
Hats (or pants) off to JCM for another film we will be watching at movie nights for years I hope!
