two studies in gay muslim movies- one bad, one good

Nov. 12th, 2010 11:02 pm
I've been on an obsessive Kristen Holden-Ried (of Lost Girl) tip lately, and I think it was fate. It led me to this gem of a movie: Touch of Pink, wherein he plays the white boy brit lover of a queer Ismaili Muslim boy.

Lovely postcolonial politics, surprisingly clever dialogue, and adorableness ensued.

MY THROAT IS STILL RAW FROM SCREAMING IN OUR LIVING ROOM ABOUT HOW AWESOME AND AMAZING THIS EPISODE OF COMMUNITY IS AND I MUST SLEEP SOON SO I WILL JUST POST MY STATUSES FOR THE PAST 10 MINUTES:


though there is fail in the construction of the dean and sr chang. lots of fail in the construction of the dean's character/ casting him as "deviant"/bad. BUT SO MUCH WIN.

11 min ago: ALSO THEY WERE A GEEKY BLACK MAN AND GEEKY MUSLIM MAN AND THEY SAVED EVERYONE FROM ZOMBIES. ZOMBIEEEES. DID I MENTION HOW AWESOME THIS EPISODE WAS???

12 min ago: Also initially I thought I could work an outfit to be Xena in Rome & then the line at the Halloween store was really long so we came up with a full back story to our characters that involves leftist vigilantism and organizing as undead/spirits/vampires for hundreds of years that we are going to turn into a graphic novel/story & put online. So Troy & Abed just made my life forever. So happy they went there. SO HAPPY.

35 min ago: COMMUNITY IS THE BEST SHOW EVER. THE *GEEKY* MEN OF COLOR SAVE THE DAY AND THERE ARE ZOMBIES. ZOMBIES! OMG I THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST 30 MIN OF TV I HAVE EVER SEEN EVER IN MY LIFE.

50 min ago: OH MY GOD YES COMMUNITY JUST MADE ALL THE WHITE PEOPLE IN THE CAST INTO ZOMBIES AND ALL THE POC ARE LEFT AND ABED SAID THAT TROY WOULD BE THE FIRST BLACK MAN TO MAKE IT TO THE END AND TROY SAID HE LOVED ABED OH MY GOD YES I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS.
