Weekly Wrap Up (Mar. 17 - Mar. 23)


Ho hum :(

First day of spring came and we got snow snow snow 😛 Definitely there are those of you out their that are giggling like skewl gurls on the playground ;) Well I hope your comeuppance comes soon :yes:.

So was looking for a place that I could find some more gay themed movies than Prime and Nexflix and then came across a free streaming service called Tubi which I believe is available in Canada and the US of A. Their is a lot of movies on there, some not so good quality and some good quality. Some in foreign languages with subtitles, others dubbed into English, others made in English. I sat around last weekend holed up at home watching nothing but movies. The thing was I was literally physically and mentally exhausted after. There seems to be soooo many gay movies out there that don't have happy endings. I mean, watching all the movies, one could say that gay relationships can't end happy :( .

I can think of a couple maybe higher budget ones that do. Love, Simon and Handsome Fella. So that is my question to you, can you tell me a happy ending gay movie this week? Maybe not all of us can stream it, so maybe don't put in a trailer or link as what is seen in the US of A, may not be able to be seen anywhere else. Even if they are ones that I might have to go to my vault and crack out my credit card to watch :P 

Okay, now onto the important stuff. What happened this past week on the GA News Blog 🥳

Monday, can you believe it has been a month since our last Signature Feature?

Then it was onto Tuesday where we got a Deep Dive on Romance :heart: 

This week of the month always means Wednesday is followed up to Monday with our Signature Feature Excerpt:

Thursday, GA was taken over by Valkyrie and her rag tag army of molting penguins, discussing the Poetry Anthology :P 

Friday, she was back to introduce the Friday Prompts:

Saturday was a whole new Writing Article on Violence :o 

 

I'm curious, even if you haven't followed this week, with this list, off the top of your head how many Words of the Day did you not know?

One. Never heard of a muskellunge. Now, having looked at it, I hope I'm never introduced to one.

@wildone The move Sublet is good, if you haven’t seen it already. An aging travelogue writer goes to Israel to write and to recover from a personal loss, then with the help of a younger man he finds out that he’s not as emotionally dead inside as he thought he was. The ending is uplifting but unexpected.

Some other movies with happy endings:

Big budget films - Fire Island, Bros

Indies - Fair Haven, Pit Stop, Benjamin (these are kind of angsty, the first one has a tough theme, but do have happy endings)

International - Just Friends (this is cute in my opinion)
