Hello subscriber,
Still very tired of partying all day during our annual Queens day festivities (celebrating the birthday of our Queen Beatrix) here in Amsterdam, Holland yesterday I bring you the latest of About Gay Movies.
So what's new? Well, for starters there have been 10 new titles added, 6 updates and 1 new person. See below for details.
You asked for more pictures. You've got it. For example the serie "Brideshead Revisited" had 4 pics and now 42. And the movie "Perfect Son" had 3 not so good pics and now has 20 good ones that I made myself. See the updates below for the other titles. And there's more to come.
There's even a new movie still in production added: "A normal life". This movie deals with the issue of gay parenting and comes to festivals all over the world soon. A real good movie which you have to see.
The newsletter subscription procedure has now been made automatic to provide better service for you, one of the more than 260 subscribers to this newsletter.
Come and visit the About Gay Movies website again and see what has changed since your last visit.
Best,
Eric
