Oh, I'm sorry...

Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Hedwig...well...um..

They're both comedies, really...but..

Couple of links about Hedwig:

I've only seen Hedwig once...but it was really a decent movie. I won't say great, but...decent.

OK, I was dense. I have three copies of Rocky Horror. I will acquire the other film ASAP.

BTW, I use imdb.com several times a day, nearly every day. It's THE site for film geeks. For my movie sales on eBay I depend on amazon.com and eBay for prices, and on imdb.com for info.

Also, I left another great gay-themed film off my list: Velvet Goldmine with Christian Bale.

no...it's cuz I haven't made the actual code for changing font size public yet. I had to create a code to get it to work right, because the board is...not as functional in some respects as it used to be.

I'm having to find workarounds for features that we used to have but don't, since they've been phased out in place of other features.

for the curious...
