It has been 14 years since Queer As Folk ended (way too soon) and the show’s best friends are still BFFs. So much so that Emmett and Ted still hang out. Case in point, this weekend Scott Lowell and Peter Paige went to the prom together. Not the one we went to in high school, but the Broadway musical.
Don’t they look so sweet together? It makes me wish someone do a revival so we can see where they would be today. And since male nudity is finally being accepted on televsion, we can finally see how big Brian Kinney really is. If that is not reason to bring QAF back, then nothing is!
BTW You can watch Lowell’s show Adoptable on Binge Networks. If you do, then you will some familiar faces like Gale Harold and Sharon Gless.
Back in the ’80s, Billy Idol was dancing with himself. While Dave Wakeling was dancing with English Beat and General Public. One was a little bit Rock’n’Roll, while the other one was a little bit New Wave. Therefore, never should the two not meet!
That was then and this is now. Over the weekend, they showed a little Tenderness towards each other as you can see in this photo! Maybe they can make some Mony Mony together and go on tour. I know seeing them on one bill will take me there.
Sadly, Ranking Roger Charlery will not be able to join them. He passed away in March at the age of 56.
Over the weekend, several bands played Let’s Rock Liverpool, and it down poured. However, the wet weather did not dampen their spirits. They kept on rocking through artists like The Human League, Midge Ure and Nik Kershaw, even though they were covered in mud.
Go West’s Peter Cox posted the above photo and said, “Huge thanks, respect and love to the 20K indomitable souls who braved the monsoon to party with us at Let’s Rock Liverpool in Croxteth Park yesterday! You were AWESOME. 🌧☔️💪🏻👌🏻👍🏻🌟” F*ck yeah, they were awesome!
No way I would have stayed through that. That is just another reason why I don’t do outdoor festivals. I don’t know how the people of Woodstock did it and I don’t know how these fans did it. I love Go West. I would love to see them live finally. But not enough to be covered in wet dirt. No matter how good it is for your skin.
While that is not me, those concert-goers look as happy as pigs in, well, mud!
Avengers: Endgame is the highest-grossing movie internationally. Everywhere you turn, there is a Superhero image in plain sight. What would happen if Superheroes were real? Instead of being fictional characters in entertainment, the real versions of them are starring in movies about them. That is the basic premise of The Boys that is streaming now on Amazon.
There are seven of them who are revered by the world. However, if you knew them, then you might have a completely different opinion of them. They are human and they are dysfunctional.
Huey (Jack Quaid) is a normal guy who envies them like everyone else. That is until A-Train (Jessie Usher), the fastest man on Earth, smashes into his girlfriend, totally obliterating her. Now, he wants revenge on the Seven.
He won’t be alone. Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) hates them even more than Huey. Butcher recruits Huey to join his group whose mission is to destroy all of the Seven. By the end of the first episode, they will have their first victim.
A-Train has no regrets for killing Huey’s girlfriend. In fact, she is not the first and won’t be the last. A-Train is a flawed human, but not as much as Homelander (Antony Starr). He let the fame go to head. His is more about helping himself than anyone else. He will do anything to look good, including let people die. He is like Trump.
Queen Maeve (Dominique McElligott) is over it all. It is novel at first, but now she is done with all. Unlike Starlight (Erin Moriarty) who is the newest member. She is thrilled about joining the Seven. Although she will not follow all the rules and that will get her in trouble.
Chace Crawford is the good looking one, and he uses his looks to get the ladies. That will get him in trouble because he is a pre-#MeToo type of guy. Finally, there is Translucent (Alex Hassell) who can make himself invisible. There is a great scene where he gets into a fight with someone. I never thought I would enjoy watching someone fight with an invisible person, but I love it!
In the 8 episodes, it is good vs bad. But who is who? You will just have to tune in to see. I am so over the goody-two-shoes superheroes. I like when they are living like real people on shows like this and Doom Patrol. Forget Justice League and Avengers, give me more of The Boys! Which was already picked up for a second season.
BTW can we all talk about how amazing Elisabeth Shue looks?
