But then again, I would recommend seeing the movie, so we can argue against it and educate the public more effectively. We just have to keep up the press and the information in order to make it available and to keep our posts at the top of the Google searches.<br /><br />I have seen every film and newscast about Scientology, from their Orientation and Dianetics films to critical films ranging in quality from the Profit to the Bridge. I've read through their website and the websites of critics. I'm still intrigued by Scientology but I don't think that after reading all the things I read that I could feel really comfortable taking courses at a church of Scientology.Jessica Sidewayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08220569563720973358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2612946722366528344.post-42428919023779310972010-04-12T02:59:56.762-05:002010-04-12T02:59:56.762-05:00People are reading way to much into this movie.
...People are reading way to much into this movie. <br /><br />Who in straight american would see a film called TOTWK to get a better understanding of the trans community? No one. The title is blunt, but you know what you are getting into before you buy a tickets. Pink Flammingos, you might have one in your front yard, sounds fun, so the movie poster let you know what was going down in the film. <br /><br />What I dont understand is how someone can say "I dont relates to the people in the movie" and take it personal because they arent like them. Im not blue, Avatar dosnt relate to me, but I watched it because it was a movie. <br /><br />From what I have read this movie has become a blessing to the trans activists because it has given them something to hate against. Which from many of there blog posts is what they are in the movement to do. Dosnt matter what, as long as a finger can be pointed out of anger. <br /><br />First you see the title, then the movie poster, the trailor then the last the film. Many steps to tell you if this is a movie for you or not. Its not ment to be taken seriously and it is not a movie for everyone. <br /><br />I know, true deaths are mentioned in the opening, people just died last week, the movie is not all funny/campy. I have seen the film and will see it again when it is at the Q-Cinima festival. <br /><br />I love the fact that people hate what they havnt seen, then turn around and want the world who does not know them to except them blindly. <br /><br />And if you are going to a movie like this to get your ballot together in the next election you need to see a shrink not a b movie film. <br /><br /><br />Films for festivals need to be submitted for consideration. Was Prodigal Son submitted by the director or producers? Festivals except submissions, they dont beg or ask for films. Well, other then TOTWK is now being sought after for many film festivals due to the press it has gotten. I am all abvout standing up for what you believe in, but as far as films go, its about selling movie tickets. And this has promoted the movie to such a degree that without it would of died qucik but now will be in heavy rotation at film festivals. The only thing I am upse with at Luna is that he has not thanked the protestors, boycott pages and bloggers for boosting and promoting his film. They need a fruit basket or something.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Genia. Yes I have seen the film.

It's not a film with any mainstream appeal, and it's got no credibility on the queer circuit now.<br />I suppose it's possible that GLAAD is dancing with words, but its hard to see how they could have been 'supportive' of the film. I can't see that the festival would have been involved, so presume that they were told about the process and the obvious source for that would have been the production company.<br />@william (Please note I've never seen you so this is not out of jealousy for your youth or putative good looks) John Waters may once have been an interesting film maker, but let's face it, anyone who knows him could say he'll give positives about nearly any camp performance regardless of merit. <br />And , as I've said, I don't like to descibe Luna as an ex gay sex worker.

This is a cheap, low budget, exploitation movie that, if ignored, would have probably died a quiet death and ended up being a distasteful answer to a dozen trivia questions. Instead, it's now received thousands (if not millions) in free publicity. <br /><br />Lest anyone get the wrong idea, let me state that I hate the very idea of this movie. I hate the title and plot, the subject matter. It probably never should have been made. I respect artistic license and the right of the artisan to make their vision real and attempt to market it. For that reason, I can't justify any sort of effort to legally or corporately suppress the movie from being shown. I wouldn't want to go within 5 miles of a movie theater that would show this trash, myself, and don't have any respect for Luna's artistic vision, if that's what this is called - but he has the right to show it to anyone stupid enough to buy a ticket. And, quite frankly, the T community has been played for reasons of promotion, and played right into Luna's hands. <br /><br />Just for the record, I didn't like "Hedwig and the Angry Inch", either, and never cared for John Waters' movies, either. Scorsese and Coppola are more my speed, and I don't like camp. See it if you must, I won't be joining you. Protest it if you will, I won't be there, either.Polarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680433936546882101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2612946722366528344.post-50893287431808993562010-04-08T00:28:33.838-05:002010-04-08T00:28:33.838-05:00All this free publicity is priceless!

You need to stop and re...You're kidding, right? You need to stop and read more carefully before you write where people can see. You misread both the Tribeca statement and the GLAAD Call to Action Update. Tribeca says that "the filmmakers provided a copy of this film to GLAAD in February." They did. Ask GLAAD's lawyers to confirm it. The GLAAD statement says only that "during that meeting, GLAAD was not shown the film." It's true, because at the meeting GLAAD was busy giving the filmmakers and cast advice on how to speak about the sensitive issues raised in the film. It's a nice dodge that GLAAD used to imply that the no one in the organization has seen the movie, but in fact it says only that no one saw the movie at the meeting.<br /><br />And here's an observation: do you think that an organization like Tribeca, with it's own lawyers, would allow an official public statement of such a definite quality to go out without being confident that they were correct? I presume they did more homework before making their statement then you did before writing yours.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784230013462565047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2612946722366528344.post-40775683045028387502010-04-07T17:48:00.024-05:002010-04-07T17:48:00.024-05:00GLAAD knows this movie will sell tickets.
Thanks ...GLAAD knows this movie will sell tickets. <br />Thanks for upping our Google hits ;)<br />And your referring to Ticked-Off Trannies With Knives as B-grade is a step up from some of the things that the film has been called lol.<br />John Waters liked it too.

And apologies to any connection to your friends. I had a couple that were into the dom thing without sex, so I'm not sure I understand the govt's take on considering them prostitutes. It seems to me that a piece is missing there somewhere.<br /><br />As for where they got the message, they put it out there in the press and stated the claim as if it were their own. If they wish to file suit against Luna, have at it. But it's their words (I'm presuming libel because both wording in NY Times and Movieline are similar, however it's possible it could be slander instead if it was a phone convo. & read statement) Bottom line, GLAAD was disreputed by it -- heck, I even began wondering if that was true when I first read it. <br /><br />GLAAD has no reason not to sue, and a great fundraising (and profile-raising) opportunity for themselves. They need to take them down.<br /><br />What's truly sad out of all this is that I used to have a lot of interest and respect for the Tribeca. Even looking at other films in this year's fare, there are a number I'd love to see (love indie films). But their choice on Luna (while simultaneously not inviting Kim Reed's Prodigal Sons) exhibits some bias right there, esp. since she lives in Tribeca! For them to then try to dismiss and cover their tracks with lies about GLAAD (simply because they feel trans people and those who advocate for them are feckless and insignificant) really tarnishes my image of them, and I'm sure that of many others. Once GLAAD wins their suit, it'll take them down further with many others as well. I can't believe they stooped that low.Vanessa E.

First, it's a great idea to threaten to sue to at least find out who the festival might say actually gave them the information on GLAAD's stance, someone like...er...maybe a lunatic film director whose name escapes me ?<br />Second, you really have to know that it's going to far to label him as an ex gay male prostitute. I know sex workers. A couple of my best friends are queer BDSM dominas. The suggestion that they have anything at all in common with the dysfunctional dingleberry that is Israel Luna is a step too far.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776623935042983118noreply@blogger.com
