Taipeilove* Details	7/5/2020 10:46:08 PM/ 70 mins		Documentary; Queer Themes/Interest Taiwan	"Berlin based filmmaker Lucie Liu debut feature documentary TAIPEILOVE* is a compelling insider’s view on the evolving LGBTQ community in Taiwan as they fight to legalize same sex marriage. It is no spoiler to add that it has a happy ending as it was widely broadcasted at the time, that thanks to the country’s remarkably supportive President, Taiwan became the first country in Asia to pass such a Law. Liu however still adds a note of caution at the end when one of the speakers at a LGBTQ victory rally reminds the crowd to always remember that this is not the end. Those forces opposed to our community will never ever give up. [QueerGuru]

Ask Any Buddy Details	7/21/2020 2:03:37 PM/ 77 mins	6.8	Documentary; Erotica; Queer Themes/Interest	Long before films like LOVE, SIMON and CALL ME BY YOUR NAME became common fare at the multiplex, the only places gay men could see their lives and lusts depicted on screen with any degree of honesty was at their local all-male adult cinema. From coming out stories to romances, melodramas to camp comedies, the hundreds of films churned out by the gay adult film industry throughout the 70s and 80s were a driving force behind the spread of gay culture and constitute a largely forgotten document of an entire generation's realities and fantasies. A video companion to the Artforum ‘Best of 2018’ Instagram feed of the same name, ASK ANY BUDDY uses fragments from 126 theatrical feature films to create a kaleidoscopic snapshot of urban gay life in the era — or at least how it looked in the movies.
Poor Deplorable Troll Details	7/26/2020 4:21:54 PM/	8	Music Video; Satire; Short	Randy Rainbow has a new parody, this time drawing from the Disney songbook to diss President Donald Trump. His latest video, entitled “Poor Deplorable Troll,” is a spoof on the villainous Ursula’s “Poor Unfortunate Soul” from 1989’s animated hit “The Little Mermaid.”	While "officially" this wonderful music video is called a parody, I think it should be labeled a "satire." "What is the difference between Parody and Satire? • Parody is meant for clean fun and makes audiences laugh while satires makes people laugh and think • Satire has a subtle message for the society while parody dies not intend to induce any change in the society • Satire sends a serious message wrapped in humor while parody is meant for fun only • Parody has a wide variety of subjects to choose from (films, songs, plays, artists, characters etc) whereas satire targets the society through a humorous subject that may or may not be imitation.

Family Members (Los miembros de la familia) Details	7/29/2020 2:58:16 PM/ 86 mins	6.3 6	Drama; Queer Themes/Interest coming of age	Lucas, obsessed with bodybuilding and contact fighting, finds the nearly deserted town fertile ground for exploring his sexuality and the limits of his body. Gilda, still affected by her recent stay at a rehab center and obsessed with her "bad energy", tries countless therapies and divination methods in order to find some meaning in the world. Trapped in their own limbo, the two confront the empty space left by their mother's suicide as they bid farewell to their adolescence and face the ambiguity of life, death and fitness.	A sober, surealist tale of a brother and sister mourning the death of their mother. The plot (what little there is) revolves mostly around Lucus' coming of age,. His older sister has her own story which is little touched upon. It all takes place in an isolated mostly uninhabited seaside town, wihch in spite of its lack of people seems strangely prosperous (its lack of population likely do to a limited production budget). If you have HereTV, it is probably worth a watch.
