The worst gay-themed films and series

The high-five. Enough said.

Too complicated to explain. Ask me why.

An insult to Romeo & Juliet, and an insult to writing in general. Yes, yes, the rooftop kiss is good. But that alone does not a good show make. The second half was just floatsam of a shipwreck.

The last scene cancels the whole show for me. It is one thing to not include a kiss. It is quite another to bait us for 12 episodes, and then finish with that abomination of an ending. I heard Machida Keita wrote it into his contract that he wouldn't have to kiss a man. If true, he should have been fired.

The last episode is just unforgivable.

A lot of people whom I respect love this show, and a lot of you will be shocked to see this here. Perhaps it is provocative of me to put it in the 'worst' list -- for now, think of it as a corrective to the near-universal praise. Maybe I'll create an "overrated" list one day and move it there.

For me, ITSAY was just pain porn and a sheer accumulation of cruelty. I suffered through all of it just to see what other people seemed to see. I get that it is well-made, and better than most Thai BLs. I also admit that it has some good scenes, and good cinematography. But let's have some perspective here: that is a relatively low bar. Wong Kar-wai it ain't.

Black is bad, and white is good. Geddit? Revolutionary! Hobbes must be turning in his grave. An eighth-grader will have greater political sophistication than this lot. Fluke -- who, god love him, cannot act -- is supposed to be the Thai Bansky. Pumpkin-faced Gun is the head of a viligante group. I fear for Thailand.

This made me want to give up on Thai BLs for good.

See the weekday edition. If you can monologue, you can dialogue.

Take everything good about Old School JBL and remove it. Take everything bad about Old School JBL and exaggerate it. Then you get the Seven Days diptych. Never have I wanted to slap two men so badly. 

There was one good moment in this show, when one of the leads just says: "I give up." If only the producers had. Just vile.

Bury the gays first, so that you can reincarnate them later. I mean, gay people must still suffer, right, before they can be happy? Their happiness must be earned! P'Dean, P'Dean... let me hug you like a tramp does a lamppost...

The story of a nice gay man who has to suffer the temper-tantrums and miserliness of a horrible obsessive-compulsive closet-case. That this was so popular shows how far Japan has to go yet.
