As the gay cinema industry continues to flourish and grow, the gay porn industry may have to reassess it's business model. A few days ago I noted that the new gay film OpenCam, a murder mystery, was little more than soft core porn--but done well with a plot and story line that actually made the sex scenes and nudity hotter. In my experience, plots and story lines in gay porn are usually diverting and the reason god created the fast forward function.
Review DVDs of upcoming flics is certainly one of the joys of blogging and if the latest review copies to hit my mailbox are any indication of a trend, gay porn is in trouble.
Last night, I slipped Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds (trailer) into my DVD player and once again found myself violating the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Eating Out 2 opens November 22 in New York City as part of the Thanksgiving weekend celebration--all those big holiday season films. It then opens in theaters nationwide on December 8. The film has some extremely funny moments, the best among them is an ex-Gay meeting. A gay romantic comedy and French farce, Eating Out 2 is light fare, a few good laughs, a few cliches but a good date movie.
Blah. Blah. Blah.
Now to the meat.
Once again, this is another gay flic that delivers enough eye candy to give Oscar Wilde's long dead corpse an erection. The film is awash in testosterone delivered by a relentlessly adorable, sexy and ab-olicious cast of men. Among others, the movie features American Idol star, out and proud Jim Verraros and Brett Chukerman (pictured above at right,) a bad boy who could talk me into anything.
And then there's Marco Dapper. And then there's Marco Dapper. And then there's...
Mr. Dapper until recently was a UPS deliveryman who has gone from spending his workday in a brown uniform delivering large packages to full frontal nudity and endless scenes of nakedness--delivering large packages. (To see the bottom half of the above photo, you'll have to go see the movie.)
But Mr. Dapper also delivers an intriguing surprise.
I suspect that this pleasant little gay comedy will mostly be remembered in film history as Mr. Dapper's first film. Mr. Dapper is the triple threat: Eyes that would melt Mount Rushmore, a body that Brad Pitt wishes he still had and, yes, Mr. Dapper can act. He can really act. At the other end of the cardiovascular system that seems designed to serve nothing but his substantial genitalia and the orifices of gay men everywhere, is a brain and some talent that will likely result in stardom.
Remember that scene in Thelma and Louise with an unknown and very young Brad Pitt? You'll remember Mr. Dapper's first two nude scenes in much the same way.
In the meantime, even if you're not a big fan of romantic comedies, you're going to need to see Mr. Dapper in action. And again, this flic delivers some of the hottest sex scenes I've enjoyed since, well, since Saturday. My favorites: the couch seduction and the porta-john fuck.
And then there's Marco Dapper.
I just love the handsome young lad in the red pants.

Eating Out 2 is great fun and Jim Verraros is amazing in both the first and second film. Thanks and enjoy the film I did, James Vallo

I have to admit that's an angle on gay porn I hadn't considered. It seems to me that the plots of older gay porn flicks make some of the modern mainstream gay "cinema" look pretty pathetic. But the attractive men will always bring in those pink dollars.
