anyone seen this flick??
comments??

I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk.  A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind.  A need to return to genuine practice, right effort.  Need to push on the great doubt.  Need for the spirit.  Hang on to the clear light.

Come on dude, do you forget where you are?
It's not on my "to do" list but if you recommend it, I would.

Didn't I tell you my buddy was Fred Hughes' personal nurse while he was at home deteriorating from MS? I know who Basquiat was, ding dong.
Fred was some fucking character. My friend has written a book about it, soon to be published.

I caught this at about 3 AM on HBO two years ago. I have been meaning to see it again. I remember that I liked it, and that it was well acted, but that was about it.

I know what you're thinking now. You think we're all gay, don't you? Think we're all just a bunch of deviant lifestyle-living same-sex having motherfuckers, am I right?
