Can you believe that one of queer cinema's premiere punks, Gregg Araki, is turning 50 today? That seems nuts to me. He seems so eternally youthful. (Could be the tank-tops.) Anyway I would normally name my five favorite films of his in his honor, but the man's only directed seven films in his twenty-something-year career, so that's pretty much pointless. So instead... this seems fun! Let it be known: the man's a giver. Some of the hottest queerish scenes ever put on celluloid belong to him. Here are my five faves. (For the record I'm limiting myself to one scene per film, otherwise this would probably just be a list of everything Jonathan Schaech's done in Araki's films, the end.)
Jonathan Schaech and Matt Keeslar's kiss in Splendor

John Krasinski in the shower in Smiley Face
Joseph Gordon-Levitt's play-by-play in Mysterious Skin
Any conversation between Jonathan Scheach
and James Duval in The Doom Generation
Just two guys taking a shower, in The Living End

And now I need to take a very, very cold shower.

I loved Splendor, and when those 2 hot guys kissed, wow. I have Smiley Face on my Netflix queue. John Krazinski is cute but he looks hot in that shower scene, who knew he had hair on his chest, I wanna see that movie.
