I guess it's 90s Gay Day here at MNPP, what with me posting about the original Queer as Folk and then following it up with news that the now-30-year-old film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is getting a sequel. The original cast of Terence Stamp, Guy Pearce (I was so hot for Guy Pearce in this) and Hugo Weaving are all returning, as is director Stephan Elliott -- rumor is the plot will be about Hugo Weaving's character's son, who was 7-years-old in the original movie. So... 37-ish now. Siiiigh. Fuckin' time, man. Anyway speaking of it's been ages since I watched the original -- should give it another spin soon. And I know what we're all praying -- Oscar winner Lizzy Gardiner (and her Amex-dress!) better be back too! And now, a treat: here is the film's iconic opening scene to cheer up this Monday afternoon:

The 7-year-old in the movie was the son of Hugo Weaving's character.
Ohhh thanks for the correction, Rick -- told you it'd been a minute since I saw the movie. I just copied what that Variety link said even though that detail was nagging at me as I typed it. Anyway I fixed that!
I saw the stage version twice. Once on Broadway and once on tour and it was outstanding. I hope the sequel is as good!
Ew, he is a big ole queen
