Rubicon - Like the Ad Agency? Shameful guys

This has got to be the most retarded looking thing ever. Bad production value, bad acting, mediocre story. I totally think being gay is okay and AIDS has nothing to do with being gay, but see this trailer makes me want to reconsider. Haha, not, really,

Many movies make us see things in a different way but a few give us new eyes. "The Last Lovers on Earth" is one of the latter. This bold, uncompromising, highly intelligent feature-length film is based on one of the best collections of gay fiction in our time. In the tradition of the great underground films, "The Last Lovers on Earth " uses humor and satire to speak truth to power. The independent no-budget film presents three hilarious and outrageous stories about gay characters trapped in one of the worst medical and political catastrophes of our times. The stories focus on a romance-deprived gay man who nobody would love until he got very sick, an angry over-the-top AIDS activist who turned AIDS into a deadly three-ring circus, and a gay couple who survive the AIDS epidemic by thinking for themselves and not following the directions of Hollywood or the self-appointed AIDS activists and gay leaders. Preview audiences in Boston found the movie riveting and found the 98-minute movie to be funny from beginning to end. Early Reactions to The Last Lovers on Earth: "On the cusp between humor and terror, The Last Lovers on Earth brings to fruition the techniques of underground films, Brechtian drama, and the Theater of the Ridiculous. There are three stories (or parables) told in rotation. Each makes an incisive point, and the film as a whole makes one huge point -- a simple message, which few gay men have dared to apprehend. Every element of the film is first-rate: the words of poet Charles Ortleb, the acting, the direction, the original illustrations, the music, and the editing." --John Lauritsen, Author, The AIDS War "The movie is a profound and funny look into the abyss that AIDS has become. Through light and dark deadpan humor, it begins to address the myths, fraud, and hype that have become the accepted AIDS paradigms: that gay men and sexual promiscuity are the "cause," that AIDS testing and drugs work, that demanding drugs and vaccines for everyone is going to save them. It challenges AIDS activists, AIDS researchers, and thinking people in general to have a critical look at this house of cards that is the AIDS Establishment." --Jonathan Campbell, Health Consultant "If the AIDS establishment has a hit list, this film is at the top of the list." --James D'Eramo, Medical Writer and Journalist "This movie, made on a shoestring, is the nightmare AIDS bureaucrats don't want to have. It reveals their earnest attitude for what it is: a coat of polish over backroom scientific corruption of the lowest order." --Jon Rappoport, Author, AIDS INC. "This digital production makes an important start in the use of theatre to deconstruct the evil edifice of AIDS orthodoxy." --Joan Shenton, Meditel Productions More information on the film's official site: http://www.thegaycartoonsite.com/Movielink.htm
