an almost gay film ...

at the recent London Film Festival there was an unfortunate lack of gay content - but plenty of other interesting films to keep me busy for the 10 days ...

one of those i chose was I Just Didn't Do It which is a Japanese drama around the country's 99.9% conviction rate ... and a guy who is falsely accused of a crime ...

i was intrigued by the relationship between the main character Teppei, and his friend Tatsuo ... there were some very vague suggestions in the film that they were more than just friends ... however it was never cleared up ...

in the fortnight since seeing it, i keep thinking back to the pair ...

definitely my film of the festival !

straight guys debating how gay they are ?

i was at another wedding recently - mostly traditional, but with some modern elements [lesbian bridesmaid, and a gay guy as her "attendant"] ... and i kept hearing the straight men asking each other how gay they were ... maybe they were just unused to being around an openly gay bloke - the attendant !

i have occasionally seen the odd email quiz or website circulated, with a list of questions ... which result in a gayness percentage ... but i've never heard it being discussed by so many blokes ...

i did seem to get eyed up by quite a few guys ... so maybe they weren't as straight as they professed ... or maybe they were just suspicious that i didn't have a bird on my arm !
