6. #Fairyland reframes the queer chosen family narrative into a personal story of how AIDS impacted a biological family in 70s/80s San Fran. Everyone’s right to say Scoot McNairy gives a career best performance, but #AdamLambert also impresses in a small yet standout role. 7/10 David Opie - Entertainment journalist | Ex-Deputy TV Editor @digitalspy| @dorianawards member | @rottentomatoes approved | He/Him | davidopie7@gmail.com 🏳️🌈

Who knows what opportunities might open up for him!! I can't wait until we see this film. I read the book and it is a moving narrative. |

Who knows what opportunities might open up for him!! I can't wait until we see this film. I read the book and it is a moving narrative. So positive…. Director blurts out…. He’s amazing…right, and Scoot finishes with …Knocks it out of the park. Two others have said his performance is very credible…. Or some such remarks. The one above….Adam impresses in a small standout role. Throwing out these comments…certainly would indicate a very positive performance…small or not… Adam had a very strong foray into the world of film‼️😁👍 |

Has anyone heard or seen anything of Geena Davis? She is arguably the biggest name of the group and she is nowhere to be heard of or seen.....

Adam's acceptance speech is included in the article.. Adam Lambert says facing homophobia early in career pushed him to be 'as gay as I f---ing can be'
The American Idol alum accepted an award at the 2023 Creative Coalition Spotlight Initiative Gala on Saturday.
Adam Lambert may be celebrating his first movie role, but he is still processing the backlash he faced after his time on American Idol 14 years ago.
"When I went to audition, I was like, 'Man, I don't think they're going to take me. I'm the gay guy. This is a pipe dream,'" the Fairyland actor — who ultimately placed second behind season 8 winner Kris Allen in 2009 — said while accepting an award at the 2023 Creative Coalition Spotlight Initiative Gala on Saturday. "And I made it to the final and I couldn't believe it. I mean, I had no idea that it would go that long. And then once I got off the show, I got signed a record contract. There was an Entertainment Weekly article that was like, 'Oh, this guy's exciting, and it may or not be because he might be gay.' And I was like, 'Might be?!'"
As he entered the recording industry, the former Broadway actor says he went on a "very interesting journey."
"There were no gay guys. It was kind of the Wild West in terms of that," he continued. "And a year later I did a performance on the evening of my first single coming out, on the American Music Awards. And I did the kind of performance I had seen since I was a teenager. I was kind of sexy, and had dancers on stage, and I did a couple of suggestive moves with a couple of dancers, and an impromptu kiss with my bass player. I was feeling it. Well, I got off stage and I got in trouble. The network was like, 'How dare you?' They banned me for a while. They threatened me with a lawsuit. It was like, 'Oh, okay, that's where we're at.' I didn't know. I'd been in a bubble in LA amongst artists, weirdos, and I didn't realize that that kind of thing would ruffle feathers the way it did."
From there, Lambert felt the best way to effect change was to "be as gay as I f---ing can be. And be flamboyant and be wild, and if it gets me into trouble, it gets me in trouble, but I'm not going to back down from it."

Has anyone heard or seen anything of Geena Davis? She is arguably the biggest name of the group and she is nowhere to be heard of or seen..... I bought the book and have not gotten fully into the part she plays… but Geena plays Steve’s mom, and Alysia spends every summer with the well to do grandparents. To me, her role may not be a large part, but I would be keen to see how the director deals with the significance of Aiysia being sent to a private school, living the country club summer lifestyle then returning to living a meager bohemian life with her father. |
