John Cameron Mitchell and Shortbus

Stupid film, porno with a plot. No one who was in went anywhere afterward.

I remember seeing this in 2006 and thinking it was one of the least sexy movies ever. Such an unattractive cast plaguing whiny, dull characters.

I don't recall thinking it was joyful, but it made Michael Winterbottom's "9 Songs" (featuring boring, unsimulated heterosexual sex) look like a masterpiece.

And they just rereleased it. For some unknown reason. Give him credit - he has made a career out of Hedwig.

R4 I masturbated to Kieran O'Brien's veiny uncut dick on a daily basis in the mid-aughts. Good times...

Playing, not plaguing

I wish Alex, the guy mentioned in the article with a huge penis, had actually made it to the movie.

I would rather see Joseph Gordon-Levitt audition tape for the movie

Sook-Yin Lee ruined her career here in Canada. Such a pointless film. Very unsexy and the characters were not interesting.

I once served Sook-Yin at a concert venue. She was such a flake.

And I recall a year or so before Shortbus came out, PJ DeBoy was sitting in the row ahead of me at a screening of Swept Away starring Madonna. He and his companion snickered throughout the movie.

I saw the premiere of Shortbus at the Toronto International Film Festival. Aside from the nudity, what I remember was Morgan Freeman exiting the cinema halfway through the film.

Watched this recently and what a horrible movie. They said they had no script when they filmed it. LOL. They just winged it and it shows. Not one attractive person in it except for the guy who gets the national anthem sung into his asscunt. There was nothing sexy about any of the lame sex in the movie. They should have had planet-sized Gabourey Sidibe or Chrissy Metz as the lead. Then it would have been a comedy at least.

Where he infamously turned bi and ate pussy with abandon? Pass.

He always comes off as a snotty holier than thou old queen.

I couldn’t watch it. Hedwig was such a a brilliant creation and I give him full credit for creating something so funny, weird and sad at the same time. When I read he was making this movie it made me kinda sad that he was probably ruining his reputation for something he thought would be provocative and heralded and I knew it was gonna be trashed.

An ex saw it and loved it and I suddenly realized why we broke up.
