Here's a little NSFW (but only just barely) clip from BBC 2's miniseries adaptation of Alan Hollinghurst's brilliant "The Line of Beauty." It would seem difficult to turn Hollinghurst's story of (mostly gay) sex and political intrigue among privileged mid-80's Thatcherites into a totally NOT HOT bore, but on the basis of this and this clip, that's pretty much what they've done.
Ugh.
Couldn't they at least have inserted a dissolve or a wipe to suggest that our protagonist Nick (who in the film looks like an even dykier Chris O'Donnell) was capable of lasting longer than -- and I counted -- 17 seconds? 17 seconds WITH a condom? That's just shameful.
KOMMENTEN!
