If Tom Ford’s A Single Man is 1% as dope as his designs (or ads), this will be the sickest shit of the year. The film follows a gay British professor living in 1960s Southern California on the day that his lover dies -a plot that I feel has the potential to be a great drama with homosexual characters, without falling victim to Brokeback-syndrome. Considering Ford himself is gay (and fucking bad-ass, I might add), I think we can trust him to have not made a movie thats goes out of its way for the “Ooohh! Guy on guy! So risque!” reaction, but rather just tells a good story.

As for Ford’s direction, the move from fashion to film feels like a grand slam vs. strike-out situation, and in this case, I’m calling “Back! Way back! To the wall!” Who’s next? Marc?????? Hopefully.

I don’t really follow Colin Firth but people are starting to mention “Oscar” in the same sentence as his name, so I’m pumped to see his performance. As for my main girl, J.Mo… girl’s gonna straight kill it. She already owned the seventies in Boogie Nights, eighties in Big Lebowski, and twenties (2020s, that is) in Children of Men, so Lord knows how spectacular she’ll be in the Mad Men era.

Oh, and the shot at 1:07 of the girl in the blue dress. Beauti-fucking-ful. I’ve never been so grateful not to be blind.
