Very interested to get all your takes on this.. I live in the NorthEast so maybe that affects everything..
But after watching "In&Out" With Kevin Kline on cable just now made me think that a movie with so much "tension" and "awkwardness" relating to human sexuality, and specifically being gay or bisexual or anywhere else on the spectrum (transient homo-eroticness, etc) would not be as popular these days..
Am I wrong? it seems to me like just in the last 15 years , for too many reasons to recite, society in general, led by movies, and musicians has soooooo mellowed on this topic, and soo accepted the dynamic non-rigid state of human sexuality, that movies like this , while being perfectly charming, wouldn't have any mass appeal because the tension and taboo ness just doesn't exist in the same amounts..
