Has anyone else seen 'Behind The Candelabra' about Liberace?

It's very good. Quite frank on the whole bumming side of things, as well.

I was going to, but I wasn't sure how I'd feel about watching Michael Douglas boning Matt Damon.

I grew up watching The Streets of San Fransisco, for God's sake.

Couldn't have been good for Matt Damon's liver imo.

Well actually it's the other way around. Liberace was always in the barrel, apparently. They have a big row about it at one stage because Matt Damon won't have it up the bum.

Also, you'd see worse on the streets of San Francisco imo.

Karl Malden would be turning in his grave - I'm assuming he's dead anyway. Mind you he did play the lead character a film called Skag

Who bums whom is a fairly minor plot point, to be honest.

At least I didn't tell you Liberace gets bad AIDS in the end (as it were). :shrug:

Nobody'd want to look at Karl Malden during the act imo. Nose like a blind cobbler's thumb.

I'm guessing Karl would have remained firmly face up, to be honest.

Do you remember back in the early days of the AIDS when famous people seemed to constantly getting quite thin and dropping dead of 'complications' and 'pneumonia'? I think Liberace was one of those, wasn't he?

Yes, him and Rock Hudson are the two I remember particularly.

Rock Hudson, a poove. I still find it hard to credit.

Nothing wrong with pooves Sir C.

I am shocked by your attitude.

He was so tough, though. You know. Manly. And he had that hot chick in McMillan and Wife.
