I've never read the play but I saw the movie - it's beautifully acted and has some gorgeous moments (like the scene where they're dancing to "The Look of Love"), but it's the epitome of self-loathing and unpleasantness (although I think those are eternal in gay men, as much as I'd love to say it's dated now). I could see Tuc Watkins being pretty good in it though.

I agree with this. That arrangement of "The Look of Love" is just beautiful, especially over the end credits with the lovely head shots of each cast member. I think, in all of its perceived datedness, it struck a huge chord for a lot of men then and continues to do so for a lot of men now who aren't living in what many believe to be "better" times. Better in some aspects, sure, but to say that some of those stories told during the telephone game sequence are no longer valid is definitely false.

I hate to say it, but I'd be down for an updated take on it.

If you ever wonder what happened to Shane McDermott (AKA the only Scott on AMC I ever had any interest in):

Considering it's been 20 years he doesn't look too bad.

Guys, did you watch Justin Hartley (ex-Adam - Y&R, ex-Fox - Passions) on Netflix's Chelsea? He was promoting s2 of This is Us and talked about his then engagement with Chrishell Stause. Chelsea then asked him if he was married before this one, so look at his response and reaction at 2:30 mark:

Wow, Justin Hartley

 I had never heard that story about Chrishell's (middle) name before.

JH had to know that he'd stir up just a little pot of [!@#$%^&*] with that reaction. It's not like his first wife is a random unknown that many of his fans don't know.

Chelsea Handler is the worst.

Shane McDermott doesn't look that bad, and yeah, it's a mugshot, but he looks old as hell.

Lindsay Hartley came off as an immature airhead and really difficult on Queens of Drama. There was something about how she interacted with that guy she was dating that seemed like she'd be hell to deal with - really dramatic fights and lots of whining.

 

I was in The Gap in Vancouver when Justin was filming Smallville and he was with Lindsay and their daughter. They made an attractive couple (he was super tall in comparison to her, and she's tiny)...it's a shame when marriages don't work out, but at the same time...his reaction speaks volumes.

Jason-Shane Scott from OLTL....he played Will. I remember the hot tub scenes where she was very bitchy towards him.

 

As for Justin I see that he ran as fast as he could away from her.....LOL

    • Totally agree - we have much to learn about Vernon, and I'd love to see it.
    • I've enjoyed Vernon but I wouldn't be opposed to learning more about his life beyond his political work. What kind of family does he come from? Does he have any siblings? I feel like that could be an interesting thing to look at.
    • GH:       A- DAYS:   A- BTG:     B- B&B:     F Y&R:     F
    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
