Think "Will and Grace Go to the Movies and you've got "Gay Cinematherapy, a film guide that understands what gay men and their best friends have known for years: that the Oscars isn't just an awards show but the Gay Super Bowl, and that movies are more than entertainment, that they're a form of therapy that can help you cope with everything from a coming-out crisis to the home-alone-homo blues. Beverly West, coauthor of the "Cinematherapy series, a cultural phenomenon with over 240,000 copies in print and coverage everywhere from CNN to the "Today Show to "Entertainment Weekly to "Vogue, has teamed up with her best friend and roommate, Jason Bergund, to help gay men find the comfort, inspiration, humor, and inner beauty tips they need-all without looking any further than the neighborhood video store.

Download and read online ebook Queer Males in Contemporary Cinema write by Kylo-Patrick R. Hart. This book was released on 2013. Queer Males in Contemporary Cinema available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Over the past several decades, mainstream films have gradually featured queer content and characters. Depicted covertly at first, these characterizations have become much more prominent in recent years, most notably in such films as Philadelphia, Boys Don't Cry, and Brokeback Mountain. In Queer Males in Contemporary Cinema: Becoming Visible, Kylo-Patrick R. Hart explores both latent and manifest representations of queer males in noteworthy cinema from the mid-20th to the early 21st century. Hart examines films pertaining to bisexual, gay, and transgender men, as well as transsexuals, transvestites, queer people with HIV/AIDS, queer teens, and others. Throughout, this book continually reminds readers that both mainstream and independent films communicate, reinforce, and perpetuate culturally pervasive notions of "normalcy," "deviance," and "social otherness," in ways that frequently have real--and sometimes detrimental--effects on actual people. Covering a range of films, including From Here to Eternity, The Boys in the Band, Saturday Night Fever, Cruising, Point Break, The Doom Generation, Boys Don't Cry, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Kinsey, Brokeback Mountain, Transamerica, and Shortbus, this book shows not only how much has changed since the mid-20th century, but also how much has remained the same. Queer Males in Contemporary Cinema provides perceptive insights for students and academics interested in film history, cultural studies, gender studies, media studies, popular culture, and LGBTQ studies.
