The Short End Of The Bus

Twitch has cunningly ferreted out the full trailer for John Cameron Mitchell's new filum, Shortbus.

When I first read about the genesis of this film a few years back, I was a little skeptical. Audition tapes, nudity, real sex, "come and create your character with us"; it was all a little fluffy (don't mind the pun) but from the looks of things, it seems to have come together extremely well and it has been well gushed-at in Cannes.

Whether or not we get to see it in the Commonwealth of Censorship Australia is another matter. Yeah, they eventually let 9 Songs through their ever more strangling net but that was straight sex and we uranists haven't fared quite so well.

I guess all we can do is keep our fingers crossed and hope that Cannes still holds some weight.

Then again, it is always good to get out and protest with Dave and Margs!

Now, go get sexy!

Looks like a great film.
Hope it does get through the Australian censors.

Unlike Damon&Hunter....

I am sure it will. They eventually let through Mysterious Skin and I am sure it won't have the rallying power of that film.

Then, I have learnt never to overestimate our country's managers.
