Saw Grey Gardens the Drew Barrymore/Jessica Lange film on HBO this weekend. I liked it. I think their Boston accents were iffy but the film itself was good.
Watched Prayers for Bobby tonight. Wow. I can't tell you how powerful it was watching that film with my mom. One single, solitary film got through to her more than me trying so hard to talk to her about the "gay thing" for the past 20 years. Sigourney Weaver rocks. The film was not perfect, but I think it was crafted in such a way to connect to a broad audience. It hit certain chords right and that's what matters. It did the book and the real Mary Griffith justice, imho.
