Just finished watching The Celluloid Closet

Anyone else seen it? What are your thoughts?

Mine are mostly that a) I'm going to be looking up a lot of the "man these censors are dumb as rocks" movies they grabbed clips from (Red River, Ben-Hur, etc, which I'm too young to have seen), and b) I kind of wish they'd do an updated or "sequel" version, because it seems to me that depictions of gay people in movies have changed since 1995, in that in some respects, they've gone back to the subtext-laden "but it's not gay, they're talking about guns!" deal of the Hays era, but there's more of a popular push for open representation (of lots of groups, but QUILTBAG people are more visible, or more in the public eye, anyway).
