Yup. Now one to more pressing matters: Lees knees are shot and his cardio is suspect. Maybe he'll win; maybe he won't.

That makes total sense. Louden isn't gay -- which the linked essay is at pains to point out. However, he is interested in it. The filmmaker works with this curiosity to explore to our sexual hangups and potentialities.

2013 174s

Of course they are. But the filmmaker isn't documenting what a real person actually said. It isnt real. Instead, of the innumerable things to have the kid say, the filmmaker decided to have him say this. Why?

Laugh all you want, but you can't explain away the fact that Swain says "The clitoris is homologous to the penis" and that Carla combines the best things he likes about girls and the best things he likes about guys. Look: the only way he could have got his new shoes is if he went back to the gay guy's room. Obviously, I'm half-trolling, but only half.

Word. Posts on message boards are by definition cries for attention.

In the immortal words of the Porter of Inverness, "Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes; it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance."

I appreciate the support.

You might be in luck: Rumor has it that she's a godess, blue movie, geisha, your slave, and one night stand. But then again she's a virgin, bitch, little girl, your mother, and a boy.

Berlin is featured on both soundtracks fwiw

I can't remember the last time I spit.

I get what you are saying: none of the wrestling stuff in the film is gay. But step back from the question of mimetic accuracy for a second. Why is the filmmaker making those decisions? Why does Swain get his Ultra Flexes from the gay guy at the hotel? Why does Swain do Tai Chi in his warm up?

I just rewatched Vision Quest a few times this weekend. Idk but this essay seems right for the most part: https://1morefilmblog.com/2017/04/02/the-queer-beauty-of-vision-quest/

Question for insiders: Who was way better in practice than they were in matches? For example, I imagine JO is more sure of his offense in practice.

If that was a stall, why not hit him again on the next restart?

I thought we decided he didn't do this anyway.

Ahhh, the ol' "tow" or "toe" the line etymological debate.

Mili lost to a tree.

If you like it, you're in for a treat: he has no reliable, conventional leg attacks. And, yeah, it IS exciting until you seen him do it over and over with little success.

Already did. I doubt it will happen again.

Yeah. That was harsh. I guess I've heard one too many kids telling their teachers, friends, family that they a going to get a scholarship in wrestling. It's not lottery odds, but it not as easy getting a pair of Travis Scott's at retail.

Gotcha

Oh, yeah. He did. I saw him suited uop in Shreveport at the bowl game. But what I meant wss that he didn't stick around the Cowboy Wrestling Club or Gator or whatever it was at the time.

You are correct, but somehow they couldn't do it right consistently. They lost him post grad, no?

I think you might be right. The fact that I left Heil of my list is telling. The decline began slowly with just missed opportunities that could be explained away with bad luck or the competition having a really good team or tournament. But in the late 00's, some old and basic feature of Cowboy wrestling culture started to mutate when exposed to a new recruiting and poaching enviornment, e.g. the Hok-eyes and then Sanderson and then RTCs and now NIL. The decline also coincided with the internet-fueled changes in technique and training practices. Again, something basic in Cowboy wrestling culture mutated under these conditions. Dean Heil's initial success was a product of this feature, but some malignancy was gestating the whole time. By his senior year, it was too late. What most of us didn't see was that the whole team -- stars, starters, room guys, and coaches -- fell victim to the same distemper. Now, they're dealing with the fall out. I don't see how they can recover.
