Broward County tourism officials say that financial losses are continuing to mount as conventions once scheduled for Fort Lauderdale have opted to go someplace else. The tally now stands at 14, with four of those conventions backing out in August alone, according to Visit Lauderdale, the agency formerly known as the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau. They cite Florida’s culture wars on issues that critics say attack Blacks, gays, and transgender youth, as well as policies targeting state universities as well as migrants. Broward’s tourism arm said the lost conventions could have brought hotel stays to Fort Lauderdale and its surrounding cities, which also meant money spent on restaurants and attractions. On the updated list now includes the National Sales Network Conference, whose founder and CEO emailed the county Monday: “Moving forward, we will not consider conducting any future conferences in the state of Florida given the Governor’s statement that slavery was good for Black people.” And the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology wasn’t planning its annual convention until 2028, but backed out last week, citing in an email: “At the moment, we aren’t able to consider any Florida cities because of the political issues around women’s health and the added challenges with higher education there.”

FEATURE: SLAY IT AGAIN, SAM MORRIS
By Connor Davenport | Photos provided by Sam Morris
Sam Morris is often called the modern-day Tom of Finland. Like his predecessor, Sam's work is stylized, homoerotic fetish art that depicts the quintessential gay male. However, where Tom of Finland celebrated men with extreme muscular body types, often performing aggressive sex acts, Sam's work tends to focus on the handsome but relatable 'boy next door' gay man. "I aim to create an aesthetic that is romantic, yet sexy," he explains. "My work invites the viewer to fantasize over the man they have a crush on at work, or maybe the one that works at the local coffee shop or the DILF they are secretly following on social media."
We caught up with the Berlin-based artist when he was in Miami last month, exhibiting his work at Art Gaysel.
Connor Davenport: How would you define your unique take on gay eroticism? Sam Morris: I use lots of different art mediums to explore the male form. At Art Gaysel, I showed some of my photographic prints, film work, paintings and sculptures. It was a pretty confronting exhibit with many different expressions of the body and sexuality.
CD: What would you say is the most beautiful part of a man's body? SM: The penis. It's where we place a lot of our power, shame, motivation, emotion, sexuality. It's the hidden facet of each of us that we're all dying to reveal.
CD: How has technology, social media, and the hookup culture impacted your work? SM: I'm a child of the internet, for sure. Social media has helped me connect my work with others.
CD: How do you keep your followers engaged? SM: I work very hard on producing the work that I do and I'm constantly sharing different parts of my work. I'm lucky that people want to see it.
CD: Who are the men featured in your images? SM: I shoot guys from all over the world.
CD: How do you find them? SM: I normally wait for them to get in touch with me via my socials, and then I see what they would like to explore on camera.
CD: You did a little exploration of your own in New York last month, performing a poetry reading at Club Cumming. SM: Yes, I opened with a piece by John Cage, 4.33, in which I got completely naked in silence. I then read a couple of poems, followed by a twenty-minute talk on censorship and erotica. My being naked wasn't a stunt… it was important to the message behind the essay.
CD: Have you always felt so comfortable in your own skin? SM: No, it took a long time to get where I am today.
CD: What is one part of your body that you wish you could change? SM: My teeth, but I've just started Invisalign so hopefully that will change soon.
CD: What is something your growing fan base would be surprised to learn about Sam Morris? SM: That when I was a child, I was in the final castings alongside Daniel Radcliffe to play Harry Potter.
CD: That's incredible! What new projects are you working on for 2020? SM: I'm writing a one-man play, essentially expanding on what I did at Club Cumming, but this time, a more narrative theatre experience. By the way, if you'd like to get a peek into the poetry reading I performed, I just shared a poem on my social media @justsammorris.

What I Learned From All Of My Hookups In 2020
I knew 2020 would be less slutty than 2017-2019 due to the fact I wasn’t living in ATL. I still had plans to travel monthly, discover new cities and new men, and be a slut everywhere I go. Covid-19 ruined that. So 2020 was far less slutty than I had anticipated, but I still had a lot of fun this year. We have to roll with the punches, and readjust our plans when the plague strikes. I still learned a lot about myself and my sexual interests with each new penis that entered my body. Here’s what I learned from all of my hookups i n 2020!
1. GUYS THAT DELETE AND CONSTANTY REMAKE NEW DATING APP PROFILES HAVE MENTAL ISSUES
Hooking up with New Castle started off fun, but then he kept acting weird. I asked him why he’d always delete his Grindr profile then make a new one every other week, then he’d go off on me for asking why. I did realize he’d make profiles advertising himself as a top, then ones as vers, then others as a bottom. A clear sign the man didn’t even know what he wants. We had some good times until he started acting crazy, and then randomly blocking men when I couldn’t hookup.
2. GUYS TREAT ME DIFFERENTLY NOW THAT I’VE LIVED IN ATL
Left Tackle and I had been hooking up off and on since 2016. Yet suddenly in 2020 he wanted to start acting differently, like he’s too good for me. Um what? He also acted grossed out and disgusted after following all my ATL sexual adventures, and I think he started to think I was tainted after reading about me hooking up with a poz guy while on vacation. Oh well. Fuck buddies aren’t meant to last forever. I will not have a guy treating me like he’s too good for me, when in fact I’ve always been too good for him.
3. I NEED TO STOP HOOKING UP THE NIGHT BEFORE VACATION
I noticed a pattern of when I’m supposed to have a slutty vacation weekend I end up hooking up the night before I leave. Which either makes me dickmatized and not horny on the trip, or I get my hole ripped and then I can’t even fully enjoy hooking up while away. I’m still gonna fuck, just not as much or as enjoyably if I hadn’t gotten fucked the night before. I still enjoyed my encounter with Big D, even if he did rip me.
4. I CAN’T STAND VIRGOS
Philly Jawn and I had been following each other online and flirting here and there for years. Then when I was staying the weekend in Philly he and I finally made up. it started off well at first, and we even fucked, only for him to act distant and start ghosting me afterwards. Fuck that nigga. I can’t stand Virgo men since they always do this distant shit, and are terrible communicators. If you’re not interested then say so. Don’t waste my fucking time.
5. FORT LAUDERDALE WAS MORE FUN THAN MIAMI
Miami was my last vacation before Covid-19 plagued the earth. It’s also the last time I flew anywhere. I was so excited to hookup with all these hot Miami men, yet somehow Fort Lauderdale was way better than Miami. The bathhouse was definitely far superior in Fort Lauderdale than Miami at least, and I had way more fun hooking up with guys there than the bathhouse in Miami.
6. MIAMI IS TO LATINO GAYS WHAT ATL IS TO BLACK GAYS
I hooked up with so many latino men in Miami/Fort Lauderdale. They are the dominant population. It made me nostalgic for my younger years. I didn’t really get with many latinos in ATL, since black men rule that city. I had many latino lovers in the past, so it made me a little nostalgic. Sometimes a latin lover is all you need to give you great vacation sex.
7. I’M STILL NOT POZ FRIENDLY BUT MAKING PROGRESS
Miami has long been the biggest HiV hot spot in America. Their infection rates are far worse than Atlanta. So it did seem a bit fitting to hookup with a poz guy for the first time while in the HIV capital. When in Rome...granted I only hooked up with him because he was the only cute guy at the bathhouse at the time. If there was anyone more appealing, I wouldn’t have settled for a poz guy. I also wasn’t comfortable enough to do anal, but it’s still progress to have hooked up with a poz guy without penetration.
8. THE PHILLY BATHHOUSE WAS MORE FUN THAN I EXPECTED
I love checking out the bathhouses in every city I travel to. I didn’t have high expectations for the Philly bathhouse since I knew there wasn’t going to be a pool or hot tub, and those are my favorrite amenities at bathhouses. Yet surprisingly the Philly bathhouse was poppin, and I went on a Wednesday afternoon. It was very diverse, and although I didn’t fuck anyone, I still had a good time.
9. IT’S FUN TOPPING SOMEONE’S DAD
I always thought it was hot hooking up with a dick that’s created life. I hooked up with this DL divorced father of 2, he was young and around my age, but still hot knowing he had kids. I topped him, and then he became my plug. I do miss the weed provided more than I miss him.
10. I DON’T MISS THE BUMS IN THE SOUTH
My northern hookups have come bearing gifts. Weed, money, etc...I don’t miss the bums in Atlanta always begging for handouts. Asking for money, transportation, asking for shit. I’ve had so many guys give me shit without even asking like my DL Latino lover. Maybe I should remain in the north, although ATL keeps calling my name.
11. WHITE MEN LOVE BLOWJOBS
One thing I miss about Atlanta is the men there loved to fuck. Being in the suburbs with mostly old white men and DL guys I’ve realized most of them just want head. I used to be oral only, until I got on PrEP and lost a relationship to never wanting to fuck. So now I love to fuck, but keep encountering guys, like Mushroom Man, where all they want to do is get their dick sucked. Sorry, oral only isn’t enough for me to have a good time.
12. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO CATFISH A GUY TO GET THE DICK THAT GHOSTED YOU
Chubby Chaster and I spent hours talking one night on Grindr, then he started ignoring me the next day. Oh hell no! I will not be ignored. I got into the whole anonymous profile thing briefly after my friend encouraged me, and weirdly so many guys are into that. I did end up getting Chubby Chaser to come over, and I kenw as soon as he saw me he must’ve been pissed to realize it was me. Oh well. I still made him cum.
13. WAY TOO MANY DL BOTTOMS IN THE SUBURBS
When I think of DL guys, at least the ones that turn me on, I think of guys with girlfriends/wives that are masc men you’d never be able to tell fuck guys on the DL. They’re also tops. Yet somehow all the DL guys with wives/girlfriends/baby mamas where I am now seem to all be bottoms. WTF! How can you fuck your girlfriend’s pussy, but somehow can’t use your dick to fuck a guy’s ass? Yet you want to let guys fuck you in the ass? That’s not fun for me. I top like once or twice a year, yet hooked up with so many DL bottoms this year.
14. I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR OTHER PEOPLE’S TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS
Gorilla and I have hooked up off and on for years. He’s a Scorpio too, and we never get along. Yet the sex is good. He’s been in an off/on relationshp for years, and seems to only hit me up whenever they’re off. Yet we fucked, then suddenly he started being distant afterwards, and then posting his man on social media. Ugh. I can’t stand that shit. I’ve been in that shit where I fuck new guys whenever my ex and I were off, and then when we’re on again ignore the new guys. I hate that cycle, and it’s not fair to the new people I got involved with. So I hate getting involved in that cycle in other people’s relationships since I wanted consistent dick.
15. NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU’LL MEET YOUR FUTURE SUGAR DADDY
I kinda only hooked up with Gasolina because i’d not had dick in months. I was a little desperate. I wasn’t that attracted to his pics, but he had a big dick, and I’m glad we did end up hooking up. Since he turned into my sugar daddy and I had many fun times this summer with him.
16. INVITING OVER A THIRD CAN SALVAGE A TERRIBLE HOOKUP
Panty Man got on my damn nerves. We rented a hotel together for the night, even though we barely knew each other and had only texted/talked on a dating app before. I knew as soon as we began talking, this wasn’t going to work, but I didn’t feel like leaving since I paid for half. I invited over New Castle, and then things turned into a threesome. They didn’t touch each other, but both fucked me. I had a good time, because I invited over another guy. I wouldn’t recommend inviting over a third to salvage terrible sex with your boyfriend, but it works for random hookups.
17. I LIKE CORRUPTING GOOD BOYS
I knew Rocky and I didn’t have any long term potential. He lived too far for me, and his health issues were something I don’t think I could deal with. But we still had some nice times together. He was such a good church boy so I had fun getting him to drink, try edibles, and even wanted him to try poppers. I love introducing men to new things.
18. I DON’T THINK I’LL EVER DATE A WHITE MAN AGAIN
It’s crazy to think I wasn’t even really attracted to black men until 4 years ago, and now I don’t see myself getting serious with any man that isn’t black. Farmer J was the last white boy I went out with/hooked up with, and he will hopefully be the last for the foreseeable future. I’ve had great encounters with white men before, but I never came close to an actual relationship with a white guy. Now after the ignorant comments Farmer J said, and it’s a lot of the ignorance that comes with dating a white man that is attracted to black people, but knows nothing about black people. His offensive comments that he never would’ve realized are offensive, and his voting history were a complete deal breaker for me. Completely reminded me why once you go black, you never go back.
19. GUYS ACT SKEPTICAL ABOUT FILMING YOUR SEXUAL ENCOUNTERS THEN GET SUPER INTO ONCE THE CAMERA IS ON
I saw The Reverend again for the first time in 4 years. I wanted to record more content for my OnlyFans. I knew he’d be skeptical due to the nature of his career, but I have masks and know what I’m doing. I’m surprised how into he got when the camera was on. I always turn my tops into the director since I’m too high on poppers to worry about angles, but it was a fun time. We got some really good footage for my channel.
20. A RANDOM HOOKUP CAN LEAD TO A RELATIONSHIP
Before BMore Bae entered my life I wasn’t looking for love. I had just launched my OnlyFans, wanted to record content, make money, enjoy life, save up before moving to ATL, and then boom. He comes over, he’s cuter than expected, and I caught feelings. I caught feelings fast. It’s been an roller coaster, but it’s so true. Love enters your life when you least expect it. I’m so glad it did. We’ve already made so many beautiful memories together, and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for us.

The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story Season 2 Episode 2 “Manhunt” is disturbing, emotional, and compelling. It still is struggling with time jumps, but overall, “Manhunt” is really starting to show us who these characters are—for better or for worse.
On the premiere episode, The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story “The Man Who Would be Vogue” (Season 2 Episode 1), I didn’t feel much of a connection with Donatella. However, on “Manhunt,” we see their close bond as well as some points of contention.
Donatella: What is Versace without you?
Gianni: It is you.
Donatella: And what am I without you?
Gianni: You will find out.
The look on Donatella’s face as she sees Gianni in the casket—wow. Seeing Donatella lose her composure is just heartbreaking.
On “Manhunt,” we get a glimpse into Gianni and Antonio’s relationship and see that American Crime Story is going with the theory that Gianni was HIV Positive. Donatella thinks that Antonio is to blame for her brother’s illness. These scenes provide more insight as to why Donatella has been so dismissive of him after Gianni’s death.
As Antonio points out, Gianni is not a saint. However, Antonio is enough for Gianni but is Gianni enough for Antonio?
The question is answered with a particularly sweet moment at the end of the episode where Gianni and Antonio kiss outside the nightclub and go home together. It’s also bittersweet because it won’t be long before Gianni is gunned down.
Meanwhile, we see Andrew in May 1997 as he hits the road towards Miami after stealing license plates in South Carolina. He is jubilant as he sings to “Gloria” and it’s hard to imagine that he has already killed four men.
In Miami, Andrew’s lies continue, and he makes a friend in Ronnie, an HIV positive addict who is also staying at the Normandy Hotel.
I find the scenes between Ronnie and Andrew to be really interesting. Andrew loves an audience and spinning tales of his life but Ronnie doesn’t completely buy it.
I also may have a tiny crush on Max Greenfield with his handlebar mustache.
There are a few scenes with Miami detectives and the FBI and we see how the FBI has already bungled up the investigation of Cunanan in Miami. They don’t distribute flyers, which is a huge mistake as pointed out when Andrew goes to the pawn shop and uses his own identification.
The pawn shop owner actually looks at a bulletin board of wanted men in the area.
Andrew Cunanan is not one of them.
They also don’t listen to Detective Lori Wieder who says that they should look at all the gay nightclubs, including Twist, which is where Andy ends up at the end of the episode. The FBI say that Andrew is probably hitting up old men in Fort Lauderdale.
That isn’t entirely inaccurate as Andrew goes back to an older man’s hotel room after meeting him on the beach. He’s a married CEO of a company and tells Andrew he can be submissive.
The following scene is incredibly disturbing as Andrew wraps the man’s face with duct tape and restricts his breathing and then dances around in the hotel room before straddling the man with a pair of scissors.
Darren Criss as Andrew Cunanan continues to amaze me.
The weakest part of “Manhunt” is the time jumps. The episode starts in 1994 with Versace being very sick. I didn’t mind this flashback because it shows the close relationship between Donatella and Gianni and then explains why Donatella doesn’t like Antonio.
It also shows that Gianni was once close to death but then managed to survive. It’s sad to know that he’ll be dead only a few years later.
The episode then jumps to May 1997, the day after Gianni’s murder in July 1997, a fashion show a few weeks before his death, and then some time in the months/weeks leading up to the murder while Andrew’s in Miami.
What was the point of seeing Andrew in South Carolina? It only showed us how strangely calm he is after he’s already committed a few murders.
And the Versace fashion show? It does show Donatella and Gianni butting heads, but I kind of think it’s purely so Gianni can talk about how life is beautiful.
It makes it all the sadder when his life ends so violently.
Overall, “Manhunt” is a riveting episode and I can tell how much I enjoyed it because I simply didn’t want it to end. The acting is incredible, the music is upbeat but oddly unsettling, and the subject matter is compelling.
Now, if The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story could only get their act together when it comes to timelines and flashbacks.

LGBT Friendly Neighborhoods in South Florida
If you are part of the LGBT Community, finding a neighborhood that is friendly and accepting is probably of utmost importance to you. Luckily, if you are considering moving to Miami or South Florida, there is no shortage of LGBT friendly neighborhoods. In fact, according to CNN Money, Miami and Fort Lauderdale offer some of the most gay-friendly neighborhoods in the United States. For those in search of an LGBT-friendly neighborhood in South Miami, continue reading. We’re about to uncover the top eight LGBT-friendly neighborhoods in all of Miami and South Florida.
1. South Beach (Miami)
South Beach is known as the “heart of Gay Miami.” South Beach is home to the largest concentration of gay-friendly businesses, hotels, nightclubs, dining, and retail stores in all of Miami. In addition, South Beach is also home to a gay beach that is nestled between 12th street and Ocean Drive. While it is more expensive to live in South Beach than other areas of Miami, the culture this neighborhood has to offer is unparalleled. If you are looking to live at the epicenter of the Miami LGBT Community, and budget is not an issue, South Beach is the neighborhood for you.
2. Coral Gables (Miami)
Coral Gables is another LGBT-friendly neighborhood in Miami. While it may not have as many LGBT residents as South Beach, this small Miami Community has a lot to offer to the LGBT Community. Coral Gables has no shortage of gay-friendly restaurants, shops, and is home to a few LGBT nightclubs. Coral Gables is even home to the Bohemio Club, which is a Lesbian Latin hangout. If you’re looking for a low-key LGBT-friendly neighborhood that boasts affordable home prices, make sure to check out Coral Gables.
3. Coconut Grove (Miami)
Coconut Grove was once known as the hot spot for the LGBT Community before South Beach took the crown. Located just ten minutes from downtown Miami, Coral Gables provides LGBT residents with gay-friendly establishments and neighborhoods and is the perfect destination for those who wish to escape the heavy traffic associated with Miami. Coconut Grove also hosts one of Miami’s premier gay events of the year, the famous White Party at the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens.
4. The Design District (Wynwood, Miami)
Wynwood may not have the largest concentration of LGBT residents; however, this neighborhood is among the most gay-friendly in all of South Florida. Residents of Wynwood can enjoy a plethora of art galleries and high-end retailers, all while being in close proximity to downtown Miami and the beaches. If you have a high appreciation for art and don’t mind living in an area without a high concentration of LGBT residents, Wynwood could be a great option for you.
5. Wilton Manors (Fort Lauderdale)
Wilton Manors, located just miles from downtown Fort Lauderdale, is referred to by many as one of the gayest cities in the United States. In fact, Wilton Manors, alongside its sister city, Oakland Park have the highest amount of LGBT per head of population in all of Fort Lauderdale. In addition, Wilton Manors is home to many gay and gay-friendly businesses and entertainment establishments. Wilton Manors plays a major role in the coordination and hosting of Gay Pride events, and are in close proximity to the infamous gay beach, Sebastian Beach.
6. Oakland Park (Fort Lauderdale)
Oakland Park is another Fort Lauderdale neighborhood that has a high concentration of LGBT residents. Like Wilton Manors, Oakland Park holds annual pride celebrations and has numerous LGBT friendly businesses and entertainment establishments. Best of all, Oakland Park is redeveloping many of its main streets to reduce the amount of traffic and make the city more pedestrian-friendly. If you’re seriously considering a move to South Florida, and are seeking out an LGBT-friendly neighborhood, Oakland Park should be at the top of your consideration list.
7. Pompano Beach (Fort Lauderdale)
Over the years Pompano Beach has become a popular destination for the LGBT Community due to its affordability combined with its proximity to Wilton Drive and Sebastian Beach. Pompano Beach has also added new LGBT-friendly entertainment, dining, and shopping options, providing residents with an opportunity to meet others in the community. Many of those in the real estate industry describe Pompano Beach as of the hottest up and coming gay neighborhoods in South Florida.
8. Lauderdale Lakes (Fort Lauderdale)
Lauderdale Lakes is made up of a series of gated condominium communities that are growing in popularity amongst the LGBT Community. Lauderdale Lakes is within close proximity to popular Wilton Drive, and less than 15 minutes to the beaches and Las Olas. Lauderdale Lakes is perfect for the budget-minded individual who wishes to be at the front and center of the LGBT Community in Fort Lauderdale.
Final Thoughts
One of the elements that make Miami such a great place to live in is the city’s rich and diverse culture. Every Miami and South Florida neighborhood has unique features that make it an appealing place to live for just about anyone. We’ve provided you with a list of the top eight LGBT-friendly neighborhoods in Miami and South Florida; however, there are additional gay-friendly neighborhoods to consider including:
· Sea Ranch Lakes
· Little Havana
· Poinsettia Heights
· South Middle River

[OT, RF] Just some thoughts about life. Totally fictional
This past year I’ve seen more and done more than I could have ever imagined. I saw Barcelona. I saw Cypress. I explored a modern day occupied city. I sat and prayed in a Turkish mosque. I visited ten thousand year-old ruins, and read about biblical-age history on the very stones that those men and women walked. I smoked weed and skateboarded at the museum of modern art. I juggled in front of thousand year-old cathedrals. I witnessed the in-progress works of a wonder of the modern world: The Basilica de la Sagrada Familia. It’s not exactly like the pyramids, but it is like the pyramids, and I was enchanted by its beauty; I bathed in its light. Some people will go their entire lives without leaving the perimeter of Atlanta. A circular highway, a few miles outside city limits, encompasses all they might ever know. To be so simple. To be so ill-informed and content. To be so untraveled and well-grounded.
Ignorance is bliss?
I’ve traveled all across North America. I’ve watched the fire dancers at the base of the mountain on a Sunday evening in Montreal. I’ve watched Canada Day fireworks far below from the CN Tower in Toronto. I’ve seen the Manhattan skyline, braved its public transport, and tasted its delicious cuisine. I’ve drunkenly stumbled through New Orleans; I saw breasts, and vomit, and many a bride-to-be. I stayed out too late and met with the buskers; we had a wonderful time by the river. I heard stories of horror and love. We sang songs, and the brave of us swam, but all the while, the heavy history hung in the air. I’ve been to the temple in Salt Lake City, high as a kite. I’ve seen Mt Baker from the Space Needle on a rare clear day. I’ve caught and cooked trout from a lake west of Denver, and watched the sun dip past the continental divide. I’ve watched it come up again across Lake Michigan from the Chicago shoreline. I watched the Cubs win a game at Wrigley, the season they broke the curse and won the World Series. I shot Malort, but also Chartreuse, on the house of course. I saw nothing in Phoenix and so much in Austin, when electric scooters were still in their prime. I worked too hard in Columbus to hang with the college locals; my coworker got held up in Dallas and was not on time the next day. Speaking of Dallas, last time I was there, I caught an Uber to the wrong hotel - in Fort Worth - at 2 in the morning. It’d be another hour until bed. I wound up at gay bars in Philly and Sacramento. I was hit on by sluts, but also some classy gentlemen. I sincerely appreciated the flattery. I had the best lamb of my life at a hotel in Raleigh, which is crazy, because the food in that town sucks. I heard the rapper Common soundcheck with the San Diego Symphony Orchestra next to billionaire yachts. You’ll find the best sausage roll ever at that marina. I swam with a shark in Fort Lauderdale; I did not swim again that day. I’ve rung in the New Year in downtown Nashville. I’ve jet skied on one of 10,000 lakes in Minnesota. I’ve wandered through Charleston. I lost my passport in Tepic, and saw the shot clock in Guadalajara the next day on the way to the embassy. I played golf in Cancun.
To know much is to live fully.
I’ve seen how depressing Atlantic City is in December. I got into an argument with a homeless man in Louisville. I was on a flight that caught fire one time, and we had to land halfway to switch planes. That is the most I’ve seen of Cincinnati: just the sky from the airport with a free chicken sandwich, and one of the last remaining in-terminal smoking lounges in the country. I’ve walked across the finish line of the Boston marathon. I’ve lost women to Nashville, and New York, and Charlotte, and Mantua, and a few more to friends. The morning after I drank with a couple 80’s-era Blackhawk players at the Fairmont in Chicago, I watched coverage of a massacre in Vegas. I knew of the Mandalay Bay; I’d been there only months before. I was at Tom’s Urban - well, it used to be; now it’s Tom’s Watch Bar, and the food is shitty - the night of Kobe’s service across the street in Downtown LA. I flew on a plane back home that almost certainly contributed to the initial Covid-19 spread in the US. I was sick as a dog when I got home, and I thought nothing of it. I was in Tampa at a conference of actuaries who were perhaps the most prepared and informed for the upcoming pandemic. They were gravely concerned; I wasn’t.
To live fully is to feel much pain.

FLIX: HOTEL MUMBAI
By Alyn Darnay
Directed by: Anthony Maras Screenplay by: John Collee and Anthony Maras
Cast: Dev Patel Armie Hammer Nazanin Boniadi Anupam Kher Tilda Cobham-Hervey Jason Isaacs Suhail Nayyar Natasha Liu Bordizzo
I have always found films about India to be fascinating. Probably because India is a place of mystery, magic, philosophy, and hidden secrets. A place so big and filled with so many people that you get the feeling that anything could happen at any moment, and it did in the most terrifying way in 2008. That's when the members of the "Lashkar-e-Taiba" terrorist group laid siege to the "5 Star Taj Mahal Palace Hotel" in Mumbai.
This is not your typical terrorist film in any way. It's a gripping and vivid film recreation of the events that occurred in the Hotel. The dramatic story about the victims and survivors of the attack, how they protected themselves and how they dealt with impending death at the hands of ruthless trained killers.
The dramatic acting in the film is blended so seamlessly with actual footage it seems to transport you right into the center of the action and make you identify with the characters themselves. Their experience becomes your experience, and it makes for a very unique film event, one that is both harrowing and entertaining at the same time.
Here's the storyline…
This gripping true story tells the dramatic tale of pure heroism by the dedicated staff of the Taj Mahal Hotel. The Hotel's renowned chef, Hemant Oberoi (Anupam Kher, New Amsterdam), and a waiter (Academy Award-Nominee Dev Patel, Slumdog Millionaire) are the two main staff leaders who, amid chaos, gunfire, and mayhem, risked their lives to protect and save the guests under their care.
With the country's only "special task force" eight hours away in New Delhi, and the small poorly trained police contingent on hand ordered to stand down and wait for help, the terrorists are free to execute their plan of going from room to room in the massive hotel and kill or take hostage anyone they find.
As the world watches, some guests make desperate attempts to get out or protect their families, like new parents (Armie Hammer, Call Me By Your Name and Nazanin Boniadi, Homeland) who are forced to make unthinkable sacrifices to protect their newborn child.
Here in his edge-of-your-seat feature debut, Australian director Anthony Maras, succeeds in creating a non-stop series of emotionally shattering suspenseful action sequences in which dread and violence seem to never end, while also managing to deliver a salient message on how class differences are put aside during a time of intense mutual struggle.
The acting is first rate as well. Patel is once again at the top of his game and wonderful to watch, as is Boniadi as the new mother struggling to get to her child.
My take… This is one of those films that will stay with you long after you leave the theater. It's the type of skillfully made thriller that only comes around once in a while. Don't miss it. Alyn Darnay is a film critic; feedback is encouraged at [email protected].
Hotel Mumbai Rating: 4 1/2 stars (out of 5) Rated: R (for disturbing violence throughout, bloody images, and language) Running Time: 123 minutes
