I love seeing Asian Americans on stage. When I heard that Mysterious Skin was going to performed by an all Asian cast in Little Tokyo I peed a little.
I peed even more when Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character was being interpreted by the sexy David Huynh. MmMmm Vietnamese actOR.
A while back I would download a ton of Gay movies. Most of them were terrible. The production quality so poor and story line was so irrelevant, yet predictable. I have CDs of them collected somewhere. There was a lot of junk produced by Here! Though I remember watching Mysterious Skin by myself during one random afternoon. I was excited about the kid from Third Rock from the Sun playing gay. I thought Joseph Gordon-Levitt was sexy way before Inception.
I remember being shocked by the film. It made me uncomfortable, but it was so interesting and brilliant. The play was just the same with a cast of talented actors and a violent full frontal rape scene that silenced the already mute audience.
If you're in the mood for some LGBT flicks, check out Mysterious Skin, it's pretty atypical.

I really enjoyed love of siam..if you give it a chance and watch it the whole way through. you should check that out, some people complain of it being typical as well but I found the ending realistic and poignant. And it's nice to have a southeast asian perspective on homosexuality
david huynh is a cutie
i would love to pop in to see a play like this!
I've seen Love of Siam. The ending was sooo sad. :[
