Paul Dawson from "Shortbus"

I know Shortbus has been roundly savaged on DL. I watched it again and I can see why . . . but Paul Dawson's performance, depressing as it is, stays with you. He never really did anything after this. Did cumming in his mouth in Shortbus end his film career?

It's a weird film--far ahead of its time.

On the one hand I'm glad John Cameron Mitchell made it, and on the other I'm not at all surprised it had such a bad effect on his career and that of the actors in it. It just wasn't something large audiences were ready to see.

I yearn for the timeline when we get to see JGL's audition.

Supposedly it's him masturbating to conclusion.
