Frankly, I’m beginning to feel annoyed by those spam porn blogs following.

Is that the whole point of their existence?

Such a turn off.

"Looking" Cast and Creators on Marriage and Saying Goodbye

According to Looking creator Michael Lannan, his co-executive producer Andrew Haigh always knew who Patrick (Jonathan Groff), their protagonist, would be with at the series’ conclusion. Lannan “wasn’t as sure” but knew the beau in question was a “possibility.” (They “remember this a little bit differently,” Lannan noted.)

If that’s coy, we’re sorry, but we can’t reveal the ending Lannan and Haigh concocted for Looking: The Movie, which premieres this Saturday. In lieu of a strict cancellation, the understated, underrated, and under-watched HBO show about gay men in San Francisco is wrapping up with a film. Directed and co-written by Haigh, the about an hour-and-half long piece is a fulfilling conclusion to the story of friends Patrick, Dom (Murray Bartlett), and Agustín (Frankie J. Alvarez), finding them gathering for a wedding and reckoning with what it means to mature.

The A.V. Club spoke to the three leads this past Sunday in New York, and Lannan in a phone conversation earlier this week.

Fresh Air critic at-large John Powers reviews London Spy: 

If there’s any one sensation that’s distinctively modern, it’s surely paranoia, the feeling that somewhere unseen forces are conspiring against us – to steal our identities, take away our civil liberties, kill us in shopping malls.   Small wonder that so many books and movies are bursting with stories about ordinary people – like Cary Grant in North by Northwest – who stumble into a shadowy world of murderous conspiracy and struggle to get out alive.

That’s precisely what happens in London Spy, a moody five-part BBC America series created and scripted by Tom Rob Smith, who wrote the terrific Soviet-era crime novel Child 44.   The show divided audiences when it played in the UK last year, and will surely do same here. For Smith and Dutch director Jakob Verbruhun are trying do something almost impossibly ambitious – to capture genuine emotion while still delivering the artificial excitements of a spy thriller.

Do you believe in soulmates? No, not only do I not believe in them, it’s not even a nice idea. That there’s only just one other person out there for you. What are the odds this person would be in the same, or in the same city. That their paths would would cross, it would mean everybody in the world is with the wrong person. It’s a way of saying that ‘we’re good together’, then why not just say ‘we’re good together’ but if you mean it.. [you think there are other people out there for you?] There might be, for both of us. But since we don’t know them, it’s just a theoretical. Yes it’s a sentimental idea, the maths doesn’t add up. But we’re by the fire, under a night’s sky, couldn’t you just have said yes?

Do you have any tips for dealing with transphobia and how to not let it get to you? I've been struggling with it lately.

I think it’s a great sign that it gets to you. I found total peace when I realized I’m sensitive. Hate really affects me and that’s part of the reason I work every day to spread love and kindness. I’d never want to “get over” my strong visceral emotional reaction to hate. It affects me when I witness it in the world, and that’s a good thing.

Also, it’s not personal. Somebody isn’t actually hating me – they don’t know me. They’re hating the idea they have of what I am. It works that way with transphobia: someone is hating the idea “transgender person”, not an actual transgender person. I suspect if they really talked to us, if they saw how similar we are, their phobia would evaporate.

Here’s a tip: use transphobia as a reminder to love yourself. Whenever you see transphobia, let it spur you on to renew your commitment to you. Yes, be political. Yes, work to end hate. And yes, when you see hate, double down on your commitment to bring kindness and love into your own life in any way you can. 💛💛
