- Now, Sharon, your Spanish translation ("Estoy bien, de puta madre.

- "pukka" in Hindustani for "pure"; word is also pronounced "pakka"; as in
- Pakistan, "Land of the Pure", we sometimes use the word "pukka" to mean
- "for real, 100%, top of the line"; my eldest kid is a "pukka vegetarian"
- - no eggs, no milk products.
- While I'm at it, I noticed that both BT and Austin Powers are contemporary
- vectors for the urban legend involving the cause of Cass'd death (i.e.,
- a sandwich in general circles; a treife sandwich in Jewish circles). I've
- been a Cass fan for years (so many that the first time I saw BT I could
- sing along with all of Cass's songs from memory). Cass Eliot was a perfect
- and poignant choice for BT songstress.

- The Spanish translation is correct. "'At a boy, Ste" is a contraction of:
- "That a boy" which itself is a contraction of: "That's my boy": e.g., "I'm
- proud of you."
- Not being British, I hesitate to comment on "pucker" although in the

- Don't worry about me." Jamie also obviously sees that Ste, as Shakespeare

- Hi there all you internationally beautiful things!
- Just a quick note to let any Australians on this list (or am I the only
- one? Isn't that a familiar question?) that Beautiful Thing was released on
- video here TODAY!!!!! Go get it! Now, you can watch Jamie & Ste whenever
- you wish ....ahhhh luxury!
- A few other points I wish to note:
- >>Cass Eliot was a perfect and poignant choice for BT songstress.
- - Sorry, but I've forgotten which message I snipped that from, but yes,
- Cass' music is spot on. It was the perfect choice (J Harvey was
- responsible was he not?), although when I first heard the film featured
- music by Cass, my queer-cooool antennae shriveled and I baulked at the
- idea. Just the fact that everyone here seems to quote from Make Your Own
- Kinda Music shows how the song digs into the heart and soul of so many
- people - gay or straight. I'd been hoping to get a performer friend to
- cover it at next week's local (Brisbane, Australia) pride festival rally.
- While not wanting to discourage any royalties which might flow to those
- involved in the film from the official soundtrack, a cheaper CD featuring
- original versions of Dream a Little Dream of Me, I Can Dream Can't I, It's
- Getting Better & MYOKOM called the Best of the Mamas & Papas is available
- here for about $15.00 (Also on MCA).
- Anyway, all, I look forward to reading your messages each day. Perhaps I'll
- post something of more substance after I've watched the video & refreshed
- my memory of this brilliant & optimistic film.
- PS: I didn't even know the Gloucester existed when I used to visit
- Greenwich (1990-1991); did it? Hope those of you that are going to the
- get-together have a great time. Have a pint for those of us who cannot be

- I haven't seen Lilies (that's how it is spelled in the promo below) but it
- is showing at the San Francisco Lesbian and Gay Film Festival on Thursday
- June 26. Here's what the promo says about it:
- "Video-artist-turned-filmmaker John Greyson comes into his own with this
- intensely cinematic refashioning of Michel Marc Bouchard's play *Les
- Fleurettes*. The setting is a men's prison circa 1952, where Bishop
- Bilodeau arrives to hear the confession of Simon, sentenced forty years
- earlier to life for the alleged murder of his teenage love Vallier. But the
- occasion is a ruse: It's really the Bishop whose confession Simon aims to
- procure. Religious ritual turns into a play, and the Bishop is forced to
- confront a past he'd much rather forget.
- "Midway between Shakespearian idyll and Genetesque rebellion, _Lilies'_
- cunning invention deepens Greyson's characteristic wit with great passion
- and tragic betrayal. While the theme of romantic love resonates as
- powerfully in the present as in the flashbacks, it's the visual design of
- _Lilies_ that truly captivates. Elegant compositions and overwrought
- staging dust tragedy with irony and conjure fantasy out of thin air. In the
- end, the brave young Vallier's murder is made viscerally shocking by the
- oh-so-decorative route its telling has taken."
- I've heard good things about this film. It has been playing in some of the
- theatres here but haven't gotten around to seeing it yet. But it doesn't
- sound like a Canadian BT, much less an American one.

- Another point about "pucker" is that Ste uses it rather ironically. He
- says he is fine, just fine, but we know he isn't and his non-verbal
- communication says so. He says the word twice, more emphatically the
- second time. He is definitely _not_ "pucker," he is confused, upset and

- Interesting to me also is that when he asks Jamie, "Are you?" in
- response to Jamie's assertion that Ste is afraid being called "queer,"
- Jamie says, "Queer?" and Ste responds with "gay." Ste is asking Jamie
- if he is _gay_, which would be more civil and polite and less accusing
- that asking him if he's _queer_. Plus, it allows Jamie to respond by
- playing up the double meaning of "gay" by saying, "I'm happy" as he

- Okay, let's see if I can be clear for once!
- The news-group is intended for all the chatty stuffy that goes on, things that aren't
- sensitive or private. Stuff like 'are they gay' 'what does pucker mean' 'who's in
- Florida'.
- The list is for stuff where you want to share something personal with your friends,
- and not have it open to the world as it is in news. It might be a coming out story,
- or an observation about the movie that includes something about your own life, it
- might be to discuss issues raised on the news group that need to be aired in front of
- our closed community, but not to the whole world.
- There are no hard and fast rules. Common sense should dictate what is appropriate for
- each forum.
- I'm not going to ask people not to post to the list. I would like the volume on the
- list to reduce, and the trivial stuff that keeps my server awake moved to the news
- group as soon as most ppl can see it.
- Regards, Davie
