[realbrisbane]

ummmmm , so all these movies are all ready out on dvd ?
why pay a cinema double the price to watch them

[hazyinseptember]

really? where do you buy your dvds from for 7$? :D

You would be very hard pressed to find all, or even most of these titles on DVD, but if you prefer sitting at home to going out with friends to see a movie then awesome!

[hazyinseptember]

YAY!! less than a week to go!

I had the pleasure of a sneak peak for some of the flicks! here is my run down

Eating Out 3:- Very, very funny and naughty.. the straight man seduction scene is brilliant, and the first 2 min of the movie had us rolling around the floor in laughter.

Pornography:- Excellent horror/supernatural thriller that sits somewhere between David Lynch and The Grudge. If you like it creepy and dream like this is a must see!

The Prodigal Sons:- Excellent, if difficult to watch. Prodigal Sons tracks the transgender film makers return home after many years to catch up with her openly gay brother and mentally challenged adopted christian brother.

expect some proper reviews up soon from the awesome brisbane samesame team :D

[bascia2]

I watched "An Englishman in New York" on ABC last weekend. Its a good movie but I would not pay the price ($16) to see it at the film festival having now seen it for free on tv.

[hazyinseptember]

lol.. yes bad timing for the BQFF there..

I did enjoy it too.. so much it made me go and get "The Naked Civil Servant"..

[scottspark]

Heya guys - just wanted to let you know, my band and I will be playing on the Turbine Stage at the Powerhouse from 6pm (free, all ages)... right before the QFF launches at 7pm. The show kicks-off our weekly residency at the Powerhouse (more here (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Scott-Spark/213045488644?ref=nf#!/event.php?eid=109228459103513&ref=mf)). Come early, kick around and say hi. Hooroo.

[hazyinseptember]

hey scott.. your free track is excellent.. why have we never heard of you before? :D will you be hanging around for the BQFF?

[scottspark]

Hi - yes, indeed... shall loiter for a bit, though I must scoot off at some point for a friend's show, elsewhere. Am at the Powerhouse each Fri night in April, though.

Oh, am glad you enjoy the tune, btw.

See you around

Scott

Even though it ** College Boys Live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_Ll-yh-cZU) ** was slightly trashy (and almost even B grade at times) Monday nights 9pm movie at the BQFF2010 wasn't too bad and even quite funny at times (in a weird kind of way) ;)

[hazyinseptember]

Well opening night was great..

The movie, 'Mr Right', was not too bad at all.. edging between drama and comedy quite well with some very loveable characters.. almost like another take on Queer As Folk..

Opening party was quite good with some great theming and lighting.. music was particularly good. Here are some photos of samesamers that i knew...

Scott Spark .. who was excellent!!!

[meezon04]

Wow, 'College Boys Live' was an eye-opener hahaha. Veeeery trashy and I don't think I've seen so many bitch fights, even on lezzo night at the beat. Feel sorry they don't even get paid to do it! lol. Also saw 'Mr. Right' which was pretty entertaining! :)

[scottspark]

Hey, Anthony - meant to thank you for dropping by the Powerhouse early and catching our first residency show (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=109228459103513&ref=ts) before the QFF launch. Thanks for the kind words too.

Shoot me your details on email and we'll stay in touch as it gets closer to the album coming out: scott@scottspark.com

Catch you around... perhaps at another one of our residency shows (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=109228459103513&ref=ts) before the month's out.

Sail safe

Scott
