dsudis's response to me telling her the following amused me, so I'm curious now to know how others' reactions would break down.

I'm assuming anybody who thought that made sense is also familiar with Beautiful Thing because, uh, otherwise I have no idea where you're coming from either. But, yes. Sigh. British queer coming-of-age movie about working-class boys falling in love. First kiss/love scene type thing happens in Jamie's bedroom while his mother is watching the Sound of Music in the apartment, and "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" is playing. (This is right after the sexual tension and hurt/comfort-iness -- Ste comes from an abusive family -- of the halfnakedness and backrubbing and ointment scene.)

I saw this movie right before I turned seventeen, just a couple months before I really started to get into slash and fandom, and I think it must have, like, *formed* half my buttons. Or possibly just made me aware of them for the first time. Mmmmm. I really should buy it on DVD soon.

*rolls eyes* Whatever. If I had no good reason, then it'd be scary, sure. But a movie scene like that is a completely nonscary reason! Bitch.
