Gay Cinema Review of the Week: THE MYSTERIES OF PITTSBURGH
Submitted by Hart on Mon, 08/10/2009 - 11:43.
For the past couple of reviews Nick Starr and Rexx have agreed with their lollipop ratings and have generally liked each film we have thrown at them. BUT today that has all changed with The Mysteries of Pittsburgh. Like two prized fighters, Rexx and Nick spar back and forth combating each other's opinion, but the one thing they agree on - Peter Sarsgaard is smokin'! (And yes we hate Maggie Gyllenhaal for marrying him.) There is also a good bit of sex both—hetero and homo. So sit back, relax and watch a good ol' fashion catfight!

Making Kathy Griffin Happy
I love that the insult to Nick Nolte (btw where has he been? jail? i'll need to google) resulted in Rexx's gay inhale! The gay inhale (beloved by my FAVORITE Kathy Griffin) is so appropriate for a multitude of emotions, and I'm glad to see it represented here on HOMOPOP as a gasp of disbelief!
MARCUS!
Darling, you know we don't fuck around here and we take our jobs very seriously.

WOW! What a cat fight over this movie!
Hey, guys, it's ONLY a movie, make believe, remember? But I was disappointed, too. Not enough sex, not enough flesh, not enough electricity between the main characters/actors. The intensity didn't build UP for me for the two men to hit the sheets! Afterwards, the main character, played by Jon Foster (he looks a lot older for a college student enjoying his last summer before he enters manhood and the real world), seems to walk through life and the scenes in the movie, almost without feeling or thinking or even breathing. He's like a hollow man! But he's definitely yummy! I'd lick his lollipop! Then there's hottie, sexy, Peter Sarsgaard--ass and all! Yeah, I'll watch it again for that shot!
Sarsgaard's ass...
we could have talked about it for days.
Don't make me sharpen my claws, Rexx
Peter Sarsgaard is mine!
The Mysteries of Pittsburgh Throwdown!
Oh Snap!
I think I'm going to have to take my cue from Rexx and skip The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, but keep The Dying Gaul on my list of films I missed that I've been meaning to get back to.
is that because...
Rexx is the loudest of the two?

Of course he is!
Next time I sabotage his mic!
I don't think so!
Nick: You won't be sabotaging anything of mine, including my mike, or you'll be finding yourself with only one "r" in that name of yours! You still having convinced me that you saved this movie enough to rate it with two homopop lollipops! I stand by my review. I'll see YOU in the critic's ring again soon!
I have 2 words for you Rexx with 2 x's
Bring it.
OH boy!
I can't wait to film the next review w/ these two.

I can't wait to see what
I can't wait to see what rating Rexx comes up with next!
