cc review: Adored & Breakfast w Scot

I have just finished watching two G-themed movies: Adored: Diary of a Porn Star and Breakfast with Scot. I enjoyed them both and noticed a thread.

Adored, as scintillating as the title is, is not really about the italian gay porn industry. it's a film about brothers, who used to be estranged from one another. but circumstances would put them together again, only to finally cement that bond only brothers could have. in the process, riki, the porn star, happens to meet a newly orphaned young boy who someone changes his ideas about his life. a short custody battle ensues, but he doesnt get the kid. and soon, the film ends with the sudden tragic death of the porn star.

Breakfast with Scot is lighter. an american film that puts a young tween under the temporary custody of a gay couple. the tween turns out to be a queen in the making. and poses a challenge to the straight-acting couple, particularly the other one who used to be a pro hockey player. little sissy however, endears himself to the couple. so much that they were hesitant to give up the kid when his real brother arrived to get him. this time, however, the couple gets the kid and everybody lives happily ever after.

the PLU as parent. i know a a lot of my friends would want to have kids of their own. i like kids myself. but im not crazy about them. as long as they are cute and cuddly, ill play with them. but once they get into their tantrums, im done with playing. i really dont have as much patience.

i guess i dont have the paternal/maternal gene in me. which is really unlike a lot of PLU's. some of them dream of having kids with their partners, being parents, doing the parent stuff.

well, in a romantic kind of way... it would be nice as a fantasy. but i shudder to think of how the kid will grow up. of having kids tease him for his parents. i wouldnt want to put any kid through that. growing up has its own problems.

id recommend watching both films. =)
