Are you on the regular bus, or the short bus?

I just finished watching Shortbus-- a film by John Cameron Mitchell about these couples of varying sexual preference who go on their own journeys of self-discovery. For those who have seen Hedwig and the Angry Inch, this is the same director. Both very compelling and well thought out movies. Shortbus was pretty explicit, but I'm rather perverted myself so I didn't mind one bit. Some bits of it were literally laugh-out-loud funny, but the only reason I laughed out loud was because they were sexual jokes, but hey, that's just my kind of humor. Some parts were also very sad, but I can't give the movie away if you plan on watching it, which you should if you enjoy transvestite and gay-laden movies like I do!

And of course I'm procrastinating on writing an essay, but hey, movies that make you contemplate life and love are far more beneficial than writing about how political parties came about through two bitchy men named Hamilton and Jefferson that couldn't stop arguing with each other.
