The 10 Best Movies of 2025 (So Far) according to @IndieWire includes my movie "The Visitor"! indiewire.com/gallery/best-m… "Each unsimulated sex scene is more graphic and sacrilegious than the last, yet a divine ecstasy punctuates every thrust and moan" @apoliticalorg @CircleCollectv

God Told Me To (1976) dir. Larry Cohen

Seconds (1966) dir. John Frankenheimer

HBD film director Ryan Coogler, who, with "Sinners" (2025), is currently one of the hottest helmers in Hollywood, BOTD in 1986, turning 40 today. He has worked five times with hunky actor Michael B. Jordan, who started out as a child actor on "The Wire"

HBD Steven Patrick Morrissey, known mononymously as Morrissey, an English singer and songwriter, who was BOTD in 1959, turning 67 today. She came to prominence as the singer and lyricist of rock band the Smiths, alongside co-writer of their songs, and her major crush, Johnny Marr

Discreetly gay USA actor Paul Winfield was BOTD in 1939 & died in 2004 at 64. A lifetime member of The Actor's Studio, he was known for playing a Louisiana sharecropper who struggles to support his family during the Depression in Ritt's "Sounder" (1972), earning him an Oscar nod

@David_Raffin Oh!

@BruceLaBruce And he was best friends with Redd Foxx.

Muslim Minister & Civil Rights Activist Malcolm X was BOTD in 1925 & assassinated in 1965 at 39. He had a sustained sexual relationship w/ a transvestite named Willie Mae & also had sex w/ gay men for $ when younger, boasting he serviced "queers." In other words, a hustler! Hot!

@David_Raffin I worked at a nuclear power plant to put myself through university. Same.

@BruceLaBruce A friend of mine worked at the local nuclear power plant for one summer. Cleaning crew. Today he is a monster.

HBD Cher, BOTD in 1946, turning 80 today. Her performance as lesbian nuclear plant worker Dolly Pelliker in Mike Nichols’ “Silkwood” (1983) remains my favourite, partly because I worked as a lesbian nuclear plant worker a few years before the movie came out. Well, gay. But still

Chunky, husky gay Canuck Hollywood actor & noted philanthropist Raymond Burr was BOTD in 1917 & died in 1993 at 76. Burr's homosexuality was widely known in the industry, particularly when he became longtime lovers w/ actor Robert Benevides who later became one of his producers

HBD Omar Apolonio Velasco (born May 20, 1997), known professionally as Omar Apollo, BOTD in 1997, turning 29 today. I interviewed and photographed Mr. Apollo for Butt Magazine last year: buttmagazine.com/interviews/oma…

HBD Constance Towers, BOTD in 1933, turning 93 today! Aside from her long stint as evil Helena Cassadine on "General Hospital," she is best known for her two lurid thrillers by Samuel Fuller, "Shock Corridor" (1963) & "The Naked Kiss" (1964). She was married to actor John Gavin

James "Jimmy" Stewart was BOTD in 1908 & died in 1997 at 89. Contrary to his squeaky-clean image, he had many torrid affairs before the age of 40 w/ Eleanor Powell, Margaret Sullavan, Loretta Young, Ginger Rogers, Norma Shearer, Dinah Shore & Marlene Dietrich & possibly Kim Novak

HBD Jamaican-USA model, singer, songwriter, record producer & actor Grace Jones, BOTD in 1948, turning 78 today. I caught her at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC in 2009. Genius! The covers of her albums "Island Life" & "Nightclubbing" (1981) were by her then-lover Jean-Paul Goude

HBD cute Brit actor James Fox, of the thespian Fox clan, BOTD in 1939, turning 87 today! Starting out as a child actor, he appeared in a number of notably kinky films in the 60's like Losey's "The Servant" (1963), Forbes' "King Rat" (1965) & Cammell & Roeg's "Performance" (1970)

HBD gay USA portrait artist Don Bachardy, BOTD in 1934, turning 91 today. On Valentine's Day 1953, at the age of 48, author Christopher Isherwood met the teenage Bachardy among a group of friends on the beach at Santa Monica. Bachardy later said, "At the time I was probably 16."

Writer/director Richard Brooks was BOTD in 1912 & died in 1992 at 79. The tall, macho helmer made "Elmer Gantry" (1960), "The Professionals" (1966) & "In Cold Blood" (1967) but "Looking For Mr. Goodbar"(1977) is his best. I wrote about it @Talkhouse here: talkhouse.com/12795/
