How's everybody's summer going thus far, QueerSighters?

We've made it to August which, for much of the U.S. of A., brings sweltering heat, lots of suntan lotion, five showers a day, pretty high electric bills and, if you're me, lots of detours into stores like Banana Republic and Club Monaco to get out of the thick summer air and into a happily air-conditioned environment, even if it's for only a few minutes.

In Manhattan, we have the wonderful Westside Highway and the pier (photo below) where, usually on Saturdays and Sundays, tons of well-toned men and women -- many of whom are our kind of people -- flock to the closest thing New York City proper has to a beach-like setting to cool off and/or show off.


You can hear the flap-flap of the water. You can lie out on pretty green grass. Often you can see The Circle Line pass by. Jumpy and happy dogs are everywhere. And ... they sell ice-cream! Um, need I say more?

Since it's summer, I thought I'd share with you, our lovely and wonderful readers, another short film by Randy Eisenberg. (For those of you who don't remember, I posted this film of his, and this one, too, a few weeks ago.) Truth is, I've fallen head-over-heels for his work ever since I stumbled upon it.

This one takes place on the summery pier and has a summery feel. Though it's a wee-bit dated (there's a Napster reference and talk of a Madonna concert from years ago, for instance), it's pretty funny nonetheless -- and I figured I'd share as I'm taking a guess many of you haven't seen it, either.

But I'm also including a pretty interesting reaction to the film, courtesy of devoted YouTuber, Ron Gordy of 'The Ron Gordy Show.' Watch the short and his reaction after the jump ...



And now, for your viewing pleasure, I present to you: Randy Eisenberg's 'Two Big Fags.'



And here's Ron Gordy's reaction:



So tell me: What have YOU been doing this summer? (I'd love to hear from everyone from Seattle to Syracuse.)

Or tell me: What's YOUR reaction to the film? Do you agree or disagree with Ron?
