Regarding Billy (2005)
Woeful - simply woeful!
I can't stop barfing long enough to type! This story is another example of the exploitation of gay men to get a film made. It isn't a gay story. Gay themed is trendy way to get $$$$$. Substitute either character for a woman and you have funding rejected by any thinking producer. I did wonder if this was some attempted sequel to Ole Yella - without the dog. OR was the initial script called Retarding Billy and the bad acting missed the humour - leading to Regarding Billy. *ponder* All the expositional lines certainly implied retardation. *ponder* That could have been quite entertaining! But - if this is a coming out movie - could you please go back in?
Intentions (2003)
The pain still lingers!
If ever you want to render a woman heterosexual - have them watch this move! Lawdy May! How did the script reading ever win any awards? The story line is slow and more like a comic book strip - without the advantage of a superhero.
In defense, I have to say I like some of the exterior shots. There was depth and warmth and chemistry - a perfect juxtaposition, highlighting the lack of such qualities among the actors.
The acting was plausible - if I was to believe they were playing the role of an actor rather than anything vaguely associated with a character. I've seen better character portrayals in infomercials.
A brave first effort. Things can only get better!
