I love the movie "Trick"

It's such a wonderful portrayal of young gay love in the city.

Christian Campbell was a cute Twink and Jean Paul Pitoc was a handsome stud.

The world still seemed full of possibilities back then.

And who could forget Tori's wonderful performance of "Enter You."

Musical comedy at its finest.

I loved this movie, too. Funny and sweet. Wish the planned sequel had been made.

Christian Campbell looked TOTALLY gay in this movie. I saw him in a scene from a movie from 2015. He's completely naked full rearal and full frontal. He looks very good in that movie and heterosexual. Do we think he's gay or straight?

The ending of the movie was very sad in the sense that the World Trade Center was front and center. Two years later, they would be destroyed, Bush would be in office and it would take 15 years for Gay marriage to be legal.

It captured that time in NYC beautifully. Fun fun fun.

I wanted to fuck both men in that movie, Campbell and Pitoc. Also, wanted to blow& swallow both of them.

Thanks DL for reminding me about this movie.

1999 was the good old days for me- I could walk into a gay bar in NYC like g lounge and get cruised by good looking guys.

It really was fantastic, in a small and endearing way. It also came at a time of hope, with effective AIDS treatments and the mixed but still improved policies of the Clinton Administration.

When Bush strongarmed his way into the White House, it seemed like everything came crashing down. Which it really did.

Christian is going to be 52 this year and he looks fantastic.

The little details of Gabriel and Mark's budding romance, was what made the movie.

They were so cute trying to get to know each other, and always having something get in the way.

What started out as a desperate attempt to have a fast hook up, ended up with them actually liking each other.

And finally, the kiss at the end.

*sigh*

Perfect movie for that time in my life. I was in college, watched it for the first time with friends in my dorm room, rented from Hollywood Video! Watched it again the next night on a date with a guy who lived in another floor. Good times.

The best part of the movie was Tori Spelling.

He's a closeted eldergay.

The best part of this body was how hot JP Pitoc was. He didn't have much of a career after this, unfortunately.

Probably the same or even better than when he was a young Twink.

Totally.

The scene in op's link shows a time without social media. where people just talked, and actually interacted with each other. Gabriel actually used a pay phone, and left a message on voice mail!

It was simpler, but much more fun.

Christian's sister is eternally ageless Neve Campbell. Obviously good genetics run in the family. I would love to see these two in a movie together.

This was a very good gay movie, just the right amount of humor, sweetness, and snapshot of gay culture in lower Manhattan in the late 1990s. I think I ended up seeing it three times over the course of a few months. I really liked how they ended it just as the sun is coming up and a new day is starting.

Spoiler:

Don't click on the below video clip link if you haven't seen the film, as it is the ending.

For such a beloved movie, no one attached to it, in front of or behind the camera went on to do much.

The thing about JP Pitoc is that he wasn't actually handsome (his ears stuck out and he had a turned up nose); he was instead extremely well built in "Trick.," which was the source of his hotness. Maybe he was juicing then?

In any case, by the time he did "Six feet under" he had lost his youthful charm as well as the killer body (though he was still quite fit), so he wasn't very interesting.

by Anonymousreply 43April 23, 2024 6:13 PM

R43, I have to agree he was a lot less appealing in Six Feet Under. I wonder what he's up to today and how well he's aged?

I love this movie. The late 90s were a great time for little gay movies, with this and also Beautiful Things and Get Real—also excellent. I had such a crush on Ben Silverstone from Get Real. He gave up acting and became a lawyer.

After Trick, Christian was on All My Children for a while as a recast Bobby Warner. He was a great addition to the cast and they should have done a lot more with him, but they just let him drift off the canvas. I don’t think he was even on a year.

by Anonymousreply 53April 26, 2024 12:10 AM

R53 I was crushing on Ben Silverstone in Get Real too! Loved that movie so much. Beautiful Thing, too, but Silverstone's charm made Get Real my favorite of the two.

Sad that he gave up acting.

I loved the German movie “Maybe. Maybe Not.” Unfortunately, the trailer tones down the gay aspects of the movie.
