Demanding more from lesbian cinema

Tonight I had the misfortune to watch the 1997 film "All Over Me" which provides prime evidence that a lesbian theme cannot save an atrocious movie. The pacing was wrong, the dialog was weak, the plot demanded tension that wasn't created.

Do I regret watching it? No, it was part of my lesbo-cultural education and I did get to see Leisha Hailey with very cute pink hair.

It would seem that ten years ago, "All Over Me" was considered a decent lesbian movie. I'm so glad that people are finally starting to demand more from gay cinema.

Ever seen "Better Than Chocolate?" Because, really, it's the same thing...lesbian plot, but otherwise truly terrible.
