Now, "I wouldn't be where I am today " (R Perrin) if I hadn't seen a fair amount of erotic play, but this movie can't compare to director Mitchell's genius "Hedgwig" -- I acquired this film in 2009 as a gift (in fact, I ended up with two copies), and have seen clips and read commentaries, but didn't get around to actually viewing it until seven years later -- I knew the scene, and the fun of it, but never knew anyone with Mitchell's characters angst -- I suppose we are to believe that the protaganists were riding the shortbus (a term, by the way, that I fine extraordinarily demeaning, right up there with the "N" word), but what of it -- should we care much about them?
