The Drop: Jenna Wortham and Kimberly Drew’s “Black Futures” Is a Triumphant Celebration of Black Voices and Black Innovation

Black Furures by Kimberly Drew and Jenna Wortham

Black people are the future, creating some of the most beautiful and challenging art we have seen, forging a way out of the past while being entirely cognizant of it. As the editors state in the introduction, time is not linear, we are always in conversation with the past, present, and future. Black Futures as a collection is keenly aware of this.

Paul Dano is a gay hustler in one of the most overlooked–and disturbing–queer films ever

Welcome to Screen Gems, our weekend dive into queer and queer-adjacent titles of the past that deserve a watch or a rewatch.

The Bold: L.I.E.

Actor Paul Dano made an auspicious leading man debut in this overlooked 2001 drama. In L.I.E., Dano plays Howie, a 15-year-old boy living in the suburbs of New York, recovering from the sudden death of his mother. His dad already has a new girlfriend only a month later, leaving Howie to fend for himself. Howie develops a friendship–and a sexual attraction–with Gary (Billy Kay), a gay hustler who leads him into a life of mischief, robbing neighborhood homes. One night the boys decide to rob the home of Big John (Brian Cox), one of Howie’s frequent Johns. When Big John catches the pair, he offers a sexual relationship with Howie in exchange for not going to the police.

More than that we’ll not reveal here, as L.I.E. has a rare form of dramatic tension and plot twists. That said, the movie isn’t for the faint of heart. The film’s subject matter–a pedophile preying on young gay or questioning teens–would spark controversy in and of itself. But L.I.E. doesn’t stop there. Instead, it paints Big John as a somewhat sympathetic character: vile, yes, but not cruel. He seeks a kind of friendship with Howie, one that would include a nurturing mentorship as much as sex. The film doesn’t excuse Big John’s behavior; in fact, the character seems more than aware that his compulsion is sick. L.I.E. does something totally bold: it paints its pedophile character as a conflicted man.

AdBridg.cmd.push(function() AdBridg.display(“div-gpt-ad-inarticle1”); );

Moreover, the film has the good sense to realize that teen hustling doesn’t “make” people grow up to be queer; rather, pedophiles have singled out LGBTQ-leaning kids for centuries as their targets, maybe because gay kids often don’t have the means to explore their sexuality, and/or because the stigma surrounding it makes them less likely to out their predator. Considering that statement is still a sobering one 20 years after the film’s release says a lot, both about the current state of our culture, and about the movie’s massive audacity.

Brian Cox gives one of the bravest performances in all cinema history in the film, making Big John into a complex, and, at times, even likable man. Dano, in his first leading role, matches him every step of the way, and hints at the bravura performances he would later give in films such as There Will Be Blood. L.I.E. debuted at Sundance back at the height of the festival’s artistic daring. With Sundance in virtual mode this weekend, we suggest this captivating, dangerous, enigmatic film for a weekend screening.

Streams on Amazon, YouTube & iTunes.

All of Trump’s Five Impeachment Attorneys Have Quit

Donald Trump

Donald Trump has no legal representation eight days before his Senate impeachment trial after his entire team of attorneys — Butch Bowers, Deborah Barbier, Johnny Gasser, Greg Harris, and Josh Howard — quit.

CNN reports: “A person familiar with the departures told CNN that Trump wanted the attorneys to argue there was mass election fraud and that the election was stolen from him rather than focus on the legality of convicting a president after he’s left office. Trump was not receptive to the discussions about how they should proceed in that regard.”

Said Trump adviser Jason Miller to the network: “The Democrats’ efforts to impeach a president who has already left office is totally unconstitutional and so bad for our country. In fact, 45 Senators have already voted that it is unconstitutional. We have done much work, but have not made a final decision on our legal team, which will be made shortly.”

Ohio GOP Lawmakers Introduce Bill to Make Trump’s Birthday a State Holiday

Jon Cross / Trump / Reggie Stoltzfus

Ohio GOP Reps. Jon Cross and Reggie Stoltzfus have introduced a bill to make June 14, Trump’s birthday, “Donald J. Trump Day” in the state.

The fact that Trump incited an insurrection against American democracy, was impeached twice, and voted out after just one term doesn’t matter to Cross and Stoltzfus. According to their bill, the day would “celebrate one of the greatest presidents in American history.”

June 14 is already recognized nationally as Flag Day.

FOX News reports: “Trump has never lived in Ohio but he won the state handily both in 2016 and 2020. ‘Let’s show the 3,154,834 Ohio voters who cast their ballot to re-elect Donald J. Trump that we as a legislature recognize the accomplishments of his administration,’ the email said.
