If you can't sing, you're out.
Mine, that once held this heart of mine.
The joy that you find here you borrow You cannot keep it long it seems But gigolo and gigolette still sing a song and dance along The boulevard of broken dreams
I'll go on.
I'll go on.
Go on.
I'll go on and do my best.
If that's my projection, then I'm going to be rushing through it.
And I don't want to live, like, life with urgency.

When Greg Araki brought his new movie, I Want Your Sex, to this year's Sundance Film Festival, it felt like a long overdue homecoming.
In the early 90s, Sundance helped launch Araki into the front ranks of queer independent filmmakers with daringly sexy, funny, and violent tales of gay identity, like The Living End, Nowhere, and one movie whose title I can't say here.
his output has been more erratic in the decades since.
But in all his work, including the 2019 TV series Now Apocalypse, he's never lost sight of sex as a defining force in the lives of his characters as well as his audiences.
Or, as one character in I Want Your Sex puts it, sex is everything.
Those are the words of Erica Tracy, a multimedia artist who's known for her provocative work.
She's played by a terrific Olivia Wilde.
When we first meet Erica, she's floating face down in her own Los Angeles swimming pool, while a young man in a pink bra and panties, that's Elliot, played by Cooper Hoffman, clumsily tries to save her.
I was reminded of the beginning of Sunset Boulevard.
And indeed, I Want Your Sex is an erotic comedy by way of a noirish mystery.
