One of the best films from the 1980s, in my opinion. And who can resist the young Daniel Day-Lewis? No one, that's who. Good stuff. How fun. And if you haven't read any of Hanif Kureishi's work, I can't recommend it enough.<br />I'll have to check out this Troye Sivan fellow.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16357336354056144926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-23577691965697741552016-10-17T20:25:26.815-07:002016-10-17T20:25:26.815-07:00Dear Rachel: So glad you got the Launderette refer...Dear Rachel: So glad you got the Launderette reference. When I went to Troye's website and saw the videos, I was expecting your basic Justin Bieber teenybopper heartthrob schtick, and when he started kissing the guy instead of the girl, it was one of those "What?????" moments, rather like Daniel Day-Lewis kissing his best Pakistani buddy from high school in that scene in Launderette. And the fact that Troye's still a heartthrob for teenage girls means we've crossed some kind of cool threshhold.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-2551412628706199472016-10-17T16:11:26.876-07:002016-10-17T16:11:26.876-07:00Darn it, now I just want to go home and watch Laun...Darn it, now I just want to go home and watch Laundrette.
