Was flipping channels last night when I came across this gem from 2001: Plot Outline: A young man (Lance Bass) meets a girl (Emmanuelle Chriqui) on a train, only to spend the rest of the movie trying to reunite with her (one of the love-at-first-sight things), aided by his best friend (Joey Fatone) in a quest of posters and signs that soon gains public notice. Will he ever find his soulmate?
(SPOILER: Yes, he will. Just ask Chip Reichen.)

Ok all you jaded, cynical queens. Lance and Reichen are such a sweet couple. I hung out with them this weekend and they really are both very courageous and generous guys. Reichen's book about being gay in the Air Force is coming out in October, and it will be an important addition to the literature written on being gay and serving one's country under the Don't Ask Don't Tell regime. Check out the pictures from this weekend at www.lavisoloway.blogspot.com
Right...try spending time with the happy couple when they aren't on a publicity-driven event with cameras all over. Of course they're going to look happy and content. What about when they're hooking up with other guys? What about when they're home and they're fighting and Reichen is calling Lance's friends to complain about how insensitive he is? Don't act like after a few days of partying in the Hamptons that you know them well enough to scold critics. They may be jaded or cynical, but you are naive.
I have nothing against Lance and Reichen (every queen in America has "hung out" with them), but what is so "courageous" about being outed by Perez Hilton?
i don't get the "jaded, cynical queens" bit. isn't this making fun of a bad movie?
Good point, James. My poor choice of words, which I didn't anticipate would offend anyone or provoke such a disporportionate response. I just thought I was being funny in light of Kenneth's joking posting about his old movie. You live, you learn. Cliche as it may be, my mother always said, "If you have nothing nice to say..." I should have followed her advice with regard the "jaded, cynical queens" bit.
I don't regret saying positive things about L&R, rather than listing comprehensively all their positive attributes and their flaws. We all live in glass houses, even the naive among us ;-) (My last cliche.)
