I finally got around to seeing the critically acclaimed film Trans America on Saturday night. Gotta say, I was thoroughly unimpressed. This movie upset me on many different levels. First and foremost: it was boring, and road trip movies should never be boring. I mean, seriously, an uptight tranny and a young (hot!) street hustler take a road trip across America, should be fun right? Wrong. Boring, boring, boring. 2 hours of boring. Not to mention, bad outfits, hair, cinematography.
God, the only reason this movie got any attention is because Brie (Felicity Huffman) made such an ass out of herself making TS women look unattractive and sad. Sure, there is alot that we TS ladies face in life that should give folks reason to sympathize with us, but we are not pathetic. And I would hope we have a better fashion sense than hollywood seems to give us credit for.
Fortunately I moved past the aggravation of Trans America and watched a fantastic movie (an old one) with Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine called Emperor of the North.
Emperor of the North was filmed in and around Cottage Grove Oregon, and contains some wonderful footage of grisly old hobos fighting railcops.
Lee Marvin: I'm sorry you are dead, because you were hot stuff.
