a bitch feast at its best: priscilla queen of the desert
(first posted september 2011 in glamourous manille. inspired by dinner with the zomvadings.) the adventures of priscilla, queen of the desert will always be my benchmark for one hell of a great movie about gay men having such a time of their lives. it's a bitch feast at its best, to say the least! it has it all: great actors with no qualms about portraying out of this world campy characters, riotous and well-choreographed musical numbers, outlandish and pompous costumes, crisp script and a director who knows how to handle such an over the top material with care. local film makers who aspire to come up with a decent and fun movie about gay men that will appeal to a broader audience should use it as a template. don't copy it dahlins. be inspired by it, but avoid being its mediocre little twin sister. shame! copying is so tacky, it's lyk wearing crocs over a lanvin dress. just leave that to you...
