KANI RELEASING - Macho Dancer

One of Lino Brocka's lasting successes, 1988's Macho Dancer admirably blends the maestro's flair for socially conscious melodrama and pulp provocation - setting the template for what would become Viva Films' erotic niche to this day.

Upon losing a reliable American client, 18-year-old gigolo Pol (Allan Paule) leaves his native province to try his luck in the soapy gay clubs of Manila. As Pol learns to ropes alongside fellow stripper Noel (Daniel Fernando) and savvy prostitute Bambi (Jaclyn Jose), he discovers more than his young mind bargained for: an underbelly of protection rackets, human trafficking and political corruption.

Underlying the film's astutely cynical outlook on systemic, class-based exploitation in the Filipino context is a neon-lit tale of sexual self-discovery gyrating between queer desire and heteronormative strictures, sensuality and grit, tenderness and violence. Heavily censored upon release and hugely successful overseas, Macho Dancer follows the recent re-discovery of Lino Brocka's Bona and is presented here in a new 4K restoration from Viva Film's original film elements.

I just saw a video of Double Helix actors, fans were following them like crazy and god knows what they were doing elio fell down and Ayden was protecting him cause this crazy fans were trying to touch him.

And what is wrong with their company they should at least provide security. And protect their own artist. It's not the first time happening it happens with many BL actors. Whenever I see these videos I feel so gross and uncomfortable like they are not saying don't click pictures but at least fans should keep some decency. Give them space to breathe. And if they become rude and mean fans will blame them.

This parasocial relationship is getting out of hand where artists are getting repeatedly harassed, stalked, and whatnot. I hope Elio is fine now.

SYNOPSIS (GagaOOLala):

Akihiro Kaji, the flawless ace of the sales department, appears perfect on the outside-but beneath his composed facade lies a cynical man who constantly judges others. During a business trip, he is forced to share a room with his unremarkable colleague, Yu Fukami. But the moment Fukami takes off his glasses, Kaji's carefully maintained rationality begins to crumble. What starts as a night of impulsive desire soon spirals into an intense relationship neither of them can walk away from. As their "no-strings-attached" arrangement deepens, the line between lust and love begins to blur-how will this dangerous connection end?

UGHH.. okay, I usually write a lot of stories, but I feel I kinda want to expand more into webtoons, but literally I cannot change my art style for the life of me (I only draw traditional realism since thats all my art classes taught me...) I end up making my characters look like a Sailor Moon 1991 OC. Should I just suck it up and keep practicing, or save my sanity and maybe partner up with someone who can draw?? (I'm broke btw !!!!💗 )

Happy Pride Month!

It’s time to do our monthly check in!

If you missed the original post, see here for the challenge and the details of the challenge! Remember to MAKE A COPY of the challenge to fill in your responses. 

Did you complete any challenges in May? There are so many series airing right now! What are you watching? Which are you loving, which are you on the fence about? Who is the character making your blood really boil? Which character makes your face hurt from smiling so much? Anything you are looking forward to?

Hi, I was wondering if there are any manga, manhwas, novels, or shows that have the premise of the MC being in a dating game, where they or another character realizes that they're in an otome game?

It's a bit specific, but I'm just curious, and I would love to read something like that. Preferably without a bad ending, if that's possible. I saw a story idea with that exact premise, but it's a hetero relationship. There's a manga called A Man Who Defies the World of BL, but the main character is straight, so that doesn't fit the bill I want.

Are there any stories like that?

A new Vietnamese BL short is now airing in theaters across Vietnam right now, called Nổi Hứng Đi Cắt Tóc (rough translation: Suddenly Feeling Like Getting a Haircut). There's no English subtitle, but the short is about 2 men meeting each other again in a barbershop years after school.

Rough translation: One Eye Opened, One Eye Closed

This is less of a BL and more of a queer film, since it focuses a lot more about the gay experience. But it still has BL elements.

I have two. Don't Say No was my first BL and it made me fall in love. KinnPorsche set me on fire and made me obsessed with Mile.

Adapted from the novel "The Man Who Married Into a Wealthy Family" (嫁入高门的男人) by Che Ye Liu Xiang (彻夜流香)

Although his wife was not satisfactory, he was fortunate to have a good brother-in-law, Bei Lu Qing, who came from a good family, was handsome and wealthy, and was an excellent student from a prestigious university. He was someone he looked up to.

Xiao Fan had thought about his good friendship with Bei Lu Qing many times, but he never expected that every time he thought about it, it was just wishful thinking...
