54 (1998)

Please release the original cut!!

The original cut does exist. In fact, it was shown last week in Los Angeles at "Outfest", the gay and lesbian film festival. Hopefully they are planning to release it soon, maybe for the 10 year anniversary edition?? July 20, 2008

Depressingly entertaining, and you can't look away from the screen.

This is a movie to just let wash over you. Just take in that scene and realize that this was reality. I knew peoople just like this. I could only watch as they blew their time away on nothing of real importance, and blew their brains and cash away on white powder to put up their noses... all the time thinking that they were on the fast track to something, but really going nowhere. It was only losers who were outside the scene.

It's the death of elderly Dottie out on the dance floor that lets you know the party is really over. The lights are turned on to show her dead on the dance floor, blood streaming out of her nose, lying amid the piles of litter on the floor that moments before had passed for glittering streamers. The club's owner has the lights turned back off as Dottie's body is carried out, and the music begins anew. Moments later, the IRS arrives. When Steve Rubell is asked if he is "going to get out," he replies: "Where would I go?"

If there is anything really brilliant here, it's the riveting performance by the actor who seems to have captured the essence of Steve Rubell, Mike Myers.

For me, this is a movie I have to watch every year or so to remember the bad old days and how they only seemed to glitter in the dark. Some of us got out alive. July 14, 2008

A Great Look Back in the Days

A great movie about an even greater period in time. Unfortunately those days will never return. So sad!!! December 8, 2007
