Poison

reminded me so so so so much of Beirut by Alan Browne, buddies, sextool, salo, fireworks, song of love, etc. This is the mega aids play movie. Incredibleeeee.  Tbh I thought I was ready to watch this after I had watched like 1/3 of my pre 1991 queer movie catalogue (it is 200 movies long) but I was wrong. There are still references that fly over my head that I can’t wait to see. This movie is literally like a best of compilation of all gay dramatic literature that comes before it, while simultaneously being completely original  I had so much fun watching this tho, heartbreaking, exhilarating, campy, maybe my fav movie of all time. Love a movie that dismantles modern myths and stereotypes in popular society. This movie fucks so hard
