Let's not forget the HUGE potential market here in the U.S. when this

thing finally hits video stores. Maybe there is a way you can get lists of

gay-owned and operated video stores here in the U.S. and contact some of

them about carrying some of the merchandise in conjunction with the release

of BT on video. Just a thought!

And I'll second David's idea about a t-shirt with the image of

Jamie and Ste kissing in the woods. I think that could sell real well, and

perhaps a coffee mug with that picture on it as well.

cheers,

Geez, my first post an its an emergency!!

I live in the Vanity Capital of the World (Los Angeles, California), so with

that in mind the one thing I thought of for merchandise was the tank

top/muscle t-shirt. I can never remember what they are formally called, but

its the type where the arms and neck are missing, held to the shoulders with

those strap things.

It was that or shoelaces...

I know I'm late on this, but as for merchandising ideas, I know I'd

purchase a cap (if it wasn't one of those with the high brim or whatever

in front, like redneck truckers wear that advertises Red Man Chewing

Tobacco. <G>)

Also, t-shirts. Here in the sunny southland, where it's already

regularly in the 70s in March, one can't have too many t-shirts. Black

ones work best for me so the design or logo really shows up.

Actually, any kind of useful thing that can be a constant reminder of

BT is something I would buy.

Boyz and grrrlz:

"The Toilers and the Wayfarers," a wonderful film portraying two teenage

boys growing up in southern Minnesota who gradually discover each other

and flee to Minneapolis, is showing this weekend for three days only at

the Castro Theater. Showtimes are 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 p.m. all three days;

the film itself is only 75 minutes. It is in black and white, and much

of it is in German with English subtitles, even though it's an American-

made film about Americans in America. You'll see why when you see the

film.

I and various other people I know will be attending the film.

If you live in the San Francisco bay area you have an absolute

moral obligation to see one of the screenings, because you cannot

miss this film. You should also tell anyone else you know who might

possibly be interested in this film.

Subject: A story by David Brown

 

Dear Friends,

 

It has now been almost a month since David's death. I appreciate the

condolences and sympathy expressed by many of you. The reality of

David's passing is slowly sinking in and I am left with this intangible

hole in my life where David once lived. His absence follows me like a

shadow always just beyond my sight.

 

This evening I was going through some of David's papers. For those of

you who don't know, David had a lot of papers. Most of them are stuffed

in the three large mineral specimen cabinets he used as flat files for

everything from his drawings to his underwear. After the first time, I

steadfastly refused to help David move these monstrosities. They're

solid wood, cumbersome and each weigh several hundred pounds -- even

with the drawers removed.

 

But David has many other, even more romantic cubby holes. One of them I

opened this evening. It is a small, attractive wooden box inlaid with

with an Indian design executed in tiny geometric pieces of wood, shell

and metal. It sits on a mirrored wooden mantel which -- since David's

loft has no fire place -- hangs on the wall in his "music room." To

catch the humor of this you need to know that David's loft mo more has

"rooms" than it does a "fire place". It is divided by wheeled

partitians and the most improbable furnishings.

 

This small box was filled -- "crammed" is the right word -- with a

watch, several envelopes containing invoices, deposit receipts from the

bank, another watch, two small batteries, several Chinese fortunes

remarkable only by their triteness, two small foreign coins with ships

on them and a tightly folded clutch of paper -- several sheets of

Xeroxed Discovery retreat evaluation forms torn in half across the

middle and written upon on the back. ("Discovery" is a non profit

organization David and I belong to that sponsors retreats and

community building for gay men.)

 

These half sheets of paper were rolled tightly together and flattened

-- as if stuck in a back pocket and sat on for hours -- perhaps days.

Unrolling them has proven challenging. Even after repeated backroleings

and reverse creasings they want to curl up on themselves and hide.

 

On them I found the following story written in David's hand:

 

-------------------------------------------------------------

"At a retreat a few years back, Sola, the caretarker, had a far off,

worried look. The animals, particularly the horses, were restless and

about them was a rank and nervous smell. A white horse which had called

this place home for many years was dying.

 

(1)

 

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

"All through that Retreat's last evening, even through the "No Talent

Show," I thought of Sola and of the dying horse and the other animals.

--And how the life and death of this place intersects from time to time

with the life and death of our community -- and how now we were here

rejoicing, while Sola and the animals held a death watch.

 

(2)

 

--------------------------------------------------------------

 

"The next morning I woke up early, in time to watch the sun come up

over the lake. Mist hung all around. The peace of the place bordered on

exhaustion. I knew the horse had died.

 

(3)

 

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

"Then floating through the mist came all the other horses. Sola had let

them out to run out their tension. Their hooves seemed not to touch the

ground.

 

(4)

 

--------------------------------------------------------------

 

"I was joined by a man whom I'd noticed but hadn't got to know yet.

When the horses had passed he came close to me and said, "Good luck in

your quest for beauty." He smiled at my surprise and then continued his

walk.

 

(5)

 

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

"Sola has since joined the white horse. In fact, there are no more

horses here. In our Community there are new faces and some faces that

we'll miss. The man who saw the horses with me hasn't been seen around

Discovery for a couple of years now.

 

(6)

 

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

"But I'll never forget the thoughts that focused for me as I watched

that man walk down the path. I barely knew him yet he'd fundamentally

understood and affirmed me. For a brief moment we were members of the

same family. "Yes," I thought, "These people are my family and this

place is my home."

 

(not numbered)

 

--------------------------------------------------------------

In the very center of this wad of papers was one more Chinese fortune

that read:

 

 

"You will soon have an opportunity

to make a change to your advantage."

 

 

 

God Blessed You, David

 

Yours,

 

Mike

I've been unable to reply to the list since late January, though I have

ask the question I've been holding onto for so long!

WHERE ARE THE MOVIE CLIPS???? The last time I checked the Sony web site

multimedia page, all I could find were the jpg pictures, but there was no

sign of any movie clips...any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I'm using

Netscape/Win3.1, and I have Quicktime.

Hello all!

Hey Mike!

Thanks for the info. I live in Santa Cruz so I'll make sure to make it.

(For those outside of California, Santa Cruz is a coastal town, south of

San Francisco by about an hour and a half drive.) I missed the showing

down here in the South Bay of that film, "Boy's Life 2"-the anthology of

four shorts, so I'm in the nindset to catch one of thes damn films.

This post maybe should have been on the gay-films list that Dave started

but my guess is that not very many have signed up on that yet.

Though speaking of BT, I got my copies of the video and cd in the mail

from Virgin last Tuesday. First off, it's a bitch trying to track down a

PAL vcr but I'm managing. There is an old one here at work that we use

for testing and I've managed to use that.m I know I could have waited for

the US NTSC release but who knows when that we'll be. I'll dead and wormy

by then!

I'm glad that they decided to produce the video in letterbox

format--much nicer. I was kinda hoping that there would be some cool

previews at the start--something that would give me a peak at some

overseas films that I might have missed out on but nada...

Ok, now I see what you guys over in England were saying about the dorky

cover art. What the hell were they thinking with that picture? And

what's up with the clothes they stuck Jamie and Ste in? And they don't

really look like they do in the film! [ Bitch, bitch, bitch :) ]

Who was in charge of marketing the picture? Bless `em but they're daft.

I still can't listen to the cd without getting all emotional. I have to

get up and walk around for awhile. My cubemates here at work must think

I'm a bit off.

Alright, nuff said.

late,

clem

Maybe many of the Americans on the email list might be aware of this,

but... Eagerly awaiting the video

release as I am, I learned today that the Jonathan Harvey play/screenplay

is available at bookstores such as Barnes & Noble, Borders, etc. in their

theatrical or movie sections or can be ordered by them. If you hate the

megastores, as I should but still frequent, try the smaller stores to keep

them in business. B&N said it would be in within 7-14 days. And further,

Borders here had the CD.

Sorry if all this is pretty much repeats what many might already know. I'm

just jazzed about it all.

Is the cover art on the British video the same as on the CD and the movie

poster in the States? Where did the shades come from? Did I miss that in

the movie? Maybe they had to calm it down so people wouldn't freak over

it.

Let me get this straight...you "inadvertantly" manage to mess up a simple

reply to function, and you want us to let you handle our

It may however explain why nobody got back to my Quicktime post...people

hey all,

clem in ca. here...um, as far as Banes & Noble being a good supplier of

Harvey's stuff, you're right on. I had them order me q copy of every play

Harvey had put out (that they had listed on their comp): Babies,

Beautiful thing, and a two play booklet, whose title if I can recall

corectly was, Rupert Street Lonely Hearts Club & Boom-Bing-Bang ( or

something close to that :)). I was almost going to order the script but

I just thought I was going out of head.

I was up in the Castro this weekend (in San francisco, I live s in Santa

Cruz) and went to a popular record store called Tower Records and there I

found so many copies of the BT soundtrack that I just had to laugh out

loud. I'ld be searching for it for so long and had found all stores were

out of stock.

So I'm standing there sweating and staring at the coverart. (I was

sweating cause I was drinking my second 16oz coffee.) And here is my

dilema--I've already got the cd `cause I broke down and ordered it from

Virgin UK (also the tape). Now as far as I can tell by a quick glance,

the songs are exactly the same on the two releases but yet they are

different due to the covers.

I thought the us covers sucked but after seeing what I guess is the the

UK cover [Dave semed to indicate that there was a third version that went

to the euro continent (the park bench shot?)] I like it a lot more. But,

no you didn't miss anything regarding the glasses--they never wore

glasses in the film. My personal pet California paranoia theory is that

they either got stand-ins to shoot the poster at some later point and

they had to disguise their looks _or_ they are actually were Bery and

Neal but whoever was the continuity person for media promotions failed to

have seen any or enough of the film to know that no glasses were used.

It was like they were trying to duplicate the final dance scene but were

a bit clueless about it. Or maybe they realized it was different--just

no one thought it was a big deal. Maybe Dave or Andi might have some

contact with the folks who had something to do with it.

I'ld be interested in knowing what the reasoning was to switch cover

art. I know US and Uk released media material often is packaged

differently but I think it would still be interesting to know why they

chose this pict over another.

When you mention that the glasses might have been intended to "calm

people" down itthink about wlly don't like about the poster--they seem to

be almost unaware that they are in each other's arms. When you hide

peopple's eyes you bring a wall crashing down. It seem entirely

depersonalized to me. And while Jamie and Ste look ridiculous on the UK

cover art (INMO) they at least look real and that they are expressing

some emotion.

And you know, if someone was going to freak upon sight of the poster,

eyes or no eyes probably wouldn't be the deciding point one way or the

other.

So you saw BT in Omaha... Did it play long? Did it receive any negative

local reaction?

[oh, and i guess I'm prob. going to pick up the screenplay too, :)]

Yet again I have to report on problems!

The double-emails were sent out by the server while Andi and I were at friends for dinner last evening. I'm not entirely clear why it happened, but I think it might have been caused by a bad email address in the list causing a resend to the entire subscriber list.

As well as the mail server having the wrong domain for a time, it seems that last weekend my reworking of the BT web site using MS FrontPage 97's Verify/Edit Links provoked a bug in that product which, instead of inserting URLs of images and web pages which are relative to the site root, inserted absolute paths with our intranet address (gateway.orlando...), which means many links and graphics are broken.

We can't tell here because the intranet server delivers the files to us. The real bitch of this is FrontPage Explorer won't search/replace URLs so I have to search through 53 pages and alter every bad link manually!

On the positive side I'm creating a BT crossword for the site, and we're about to launch a competition to win goodies of all sorts. This is leading to our launch of the merchandising in the near future - providing our negotiations with Film Four are completed satisfactorily.

This weekend I hope to add a photo and image gallery to the site, and Andi will be completing the massive job of manually creating the February guestbook entries. As most of you will know by now, I switched it to an automatic system at the beginning of February.

Well, I *think* I fixed the web site by working through to 6am this morning. I found a useful little application at www.windows95.com called Search and Replace that scans files and does what it says.

As best as I can I've check the site and it seems okay, but if any of you know different let me know.

Exhaustedly yours,

Davie.

We appreciate your work, despite our suggestions for "punishment."

Actually, you don't need to be forced to watch "Barney" over the next

weeks, as I understand y'all are having elections and you'll be forced to

watch all sorts of nasty political ads. We went through that last fall

here and I wouldn't wish it upon anyone.

Man, you're not kidding! Political ads and debate are FAR nastier than

anything at a video store, even Barney!

Subject: Merchandising idea

 

 

David and Andi:

 

I had an idea about how to get the word out about BT merchandise

(assuming there will be any). My boyfriend just bought a copy of the movie

Jeffrey on video. Inside the case of the videotape was a little color

brochure for Jeffrey merchandise (t-shirts, coffee mugs and hats). If you

could get information like this inside the video of Beautiful Thing when

it's released in the U.S. you could do bang up business. As far as I could

tell the company offering the merchandise was in no way affiliated with the

studio who released Jeffrey on video but I'm sure they came to some kind of

mutually beneficial agreement. What do you think?
