#I Just Finished The Game Today, And I Loved It Too.

#Whoever has Paul's babies should know that it's a high honour to continue the Mescal bloodline.

#Of course Paul is terrific in bed. Y'all watched Normal People, Carmen and All of Us Strangers, right?

#I also am dubious on the hotel room trashing.

Some stuff about Paul in FM's new 'I Have Tea On...' thread. Funny how the same sort of things get brought up about him e.g. spin the bottle, crying after sex, ditching hookups, etc.

I do sorta believe the hotel comment though lol. Messy lad.

I have heard these rumors so much I can't help but believe them. He is a messy, sad boy. Although, I can't help but feel like we would have heard the smashing up hotels before though?

Paul Mescal | "The History Of Sound" Red Carpet at the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival | May 21, 2025

#paul mescal #he's so photogenic #biceps

The coast was finally clear for me to watch my All Of Us Strangers DVD for the first time. I am now bawling my eyes out at this beautifully sad, masterpiece of a film. It's true what they said, that Andrew Scott gave the best performance of his career in this film. Paul Mescal, Claire Foy and Jamie Bell were also marvellous.

If Paul Mescal could play a character who is not terribly sad, and has had nothing bad ever happen to him, that would be much appreciated. Please and thank you. I love Paul, as he is a sensational actor and easy on the eyes, but he can't keep doing this to me, over and over again. 😭

Anyway, I'll be thinking about this film for a long time. Andrew Haigh can do no wrong.

Score: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sunrise on the Reaping

I just finished reading 'Sunrise on the Reaping' by Suzanne Collins, which is the fifth book in The Hunger Games series. Suzanne Collins really knows how to break her readers' hearts.

This book is told from the point of view of 16 year old Haymitch Abernathy, who competes in the 50th Hunger Games. This book answers many questions as to why Haymitch is the way that he is, when we first meet him the first Hunger Games book, barely functioning as a mentor for Katniss and Peeta for the 74th Hunger Games. Once again, Collins has crafted another excellent novel, which expands on the lore of Panem.

I am mentally preparing my tears for the upcoming film adaptation. I wonder if Kiefer Sutherland will be cast as President Snow. It would be perfect, as he is the same age as Snow in this novel (58 years old), and Kiefer's late father, Donald, played Snow in the first four films of the series.

Added: I just read that Ralph Fiennes has been cast as President Snow, an excellent choice!

The moment Paul Mescal became the hottest man on this planet. 🥵

Holding The Man (2015)

For pride month, the fourth LGBTQ film that I watched for the first time is a 2015 film from my country of Australia, called Holding The Man. The film was directed by Neil Armfield and is adapted from Timothy Conigrave's 1995 memoir of the same name.

This is an exceptional and devastating film, with terrific chemistry between Ryan Corr and Craig Stott in the leading roles. In 1976, two students at an all boys Catholic school in Melbourne, Timothy Conigrave (Corr) and John Caleo (Stott) fall in love. This is of course is a problem for the school when this is discovered, and disapproved of by the boys' parents. This was a time when homosexuality was illegal in Australia.

This is also a story about AIDS, and as the story is devastating, you can probably guess where it's heading. Much like All Of Us Strangers, Holding The Man broke me, and I will think about this film for a long time.

Score: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
