        In references to gays and the media -- I would like
people's opinions on three recent movies:  *Making Love*,
*Personal Best* and *Lianna*.  ( *Lianna* is showing on cable
now, so it might not have made it to the large screen. ) Some
personal opinions follow, so flame away.

        MAKING LOVE -- Well, Hollywood had to start SOMEWHERE,
but the movie was so sugar-coated in approaching the love
triangle that I wanted an insulin shot afterwards. 

        PERSONAL BEST -- Pretty well handled, but the competive
aspect of the relationship is all-encompassing.  If one didn't
know it, you could close your eyes and almost miss the lesbian
relationship. 

        LIANNA -- A real tear-jerker.  Possibly the most 'honest'
of the three in terms of emotions.
