+ torch song trilogy (1988) but the loose poster was pissing me off

@troublewithangels tagged me to post my fave five of august. there was a lot of life changing cinema for me last month especially do the right thing (my first spike lee joint!) and opening night (which i watched for the first time in tribute to gena <3). a filmed play for television is still a movie, right? well, a moon for the misbegotten gave me colleen dewhurst so i’m putting it on the list. as for breathing lessons, i got a text message in the middle of the night from an irl friend asking why i logged it and the only response i could think of was “i’d watch anything for joanne woodward” but that movie slaps also i wanna make mad love to 64 year old joanne. finally, torch song trilogy was incredible and i’ll be revisiting it over and over again.

Torch Song Trilogy (1988).

We're not all still kids on here you know.

Just thought of the parallels between Good Omens Season 2 and queer cinema classics Torch Song Trilogy (1988). Trying to be vague. But it's the inherent lack of certainty to queer love stories where straight romance prizes inevitable destiny and eternity. I could also point to Fried Green Tomatoes (1991), Love! Valour! Compassion! (1997), Spoiler Alert (2022), Bros (2022), Naz & Maalik (2015), Moonlight (2016), The Boys In The Band (1970, 2020), Cloudburst (2011), and many other queer films.

Especially where coming out of the closet and possible or real rejection are concerned. But also the reality of relationships between very different people who want different things but are also stubbornly in love with each other despite everything that should be between them. And the reality that is constant work with constant choices that overwhelms people at times.

Naz & Maalik might be the best parallel for the conflict at the end of Good Omens Season 2 because religion and disownment is a direct part of it.

I hope to get into what I mean more directly after Sunday, but if you know you know and I don't want to lose this. Good Omens is so clearly entrenched in the history and styles of queer media. Straight media would not and could not tell this story.

Bonus Features: Torch Song Trilogy (1988)

Our current Movie of the Month, 1988’s Torch Song Trilogy, is Harvey Fierstein’s big-screen adaptation of his own stage play about a drag queen’s life, loves, and heartbreaks in 1970s New York.  The film’s greatest accomplishments lie less in its queer political advocacy than they lie in its dramatic approximation of a full, authentic life for Fierstein’s protagonist – something gay men were…
