Angels of Sex (2012)
A glitzy, annoying, insulting movie
26 June 2013
This shallow, irritating, sterile movie offers nothing but titillation for a certain sort of voyeur, maybe for women who like to watch men make out... the female equivalent of men whose ultimate fantasy is sex with two women. Any gay man who likes this movie needs to have his head examined - both of them.

This is a movie, like Brokeback Mountain, that was made BY straight people FOR straight people (as if they didn't already have enough movies) who think shoehorning gay sex into their movie makes it cool, or something dumb like that. It's an attitude that makes me furious and insults the gay men I suppose it means to pander to.

It's even worse than Brokeback Mountain, though, and casting Llorenç González can't be a coincidence: he looks almost exactly like Jake Gyllenhaal and is almost as ugly. Álvaro Cervantes is gorgeous and extremely sexy; without him this movie would have been just another stupid straight movie, but he's wasted in it.

Gay men should boycott all movies (like this one) that show twenty minutes of graphic straight sex for every twenty seconds of censored, castrated gay sex. That's like spitting in our faces, proving that we're nothing but pawns in their sick heterosexual fantasies.
