I love him SO MUCH in this movie, the whole cast is wonderful. Funny, warm, beautifully acted, entertaining as hell. #movies #moviesky #filmsky

neutral · AI labelView post →RIP to Terence Stamp, one of the all-time greats. His role in PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT was one of the first sympathetic depictions of a trans woman in mainstream film.

neutral · AI labelView post →Thank you Terence Stamp for Bernadette. May his memory be a blessing. If you’ve never seen Priscilla Queen of the Desert it’s quite remarkable, and an essential queer film.

neutral · AI labelView post →Starting a rewatch of Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Not just an iconic movie in #Pride history, but I was part of the choir on the soundtrack! (No really. We recorded in a tiny studio in Annandale. The music director was the son of Yoram Gross, famous AU animation director)
positive · AI labelView post →time for another episode of Old Queer Reminisces About The Past!!!! Today I was thinking about a pivotal movie i saw in 1994: Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, w. Guy Pearce, Hugo Weaving, and Terence Stamp. I just came out that year. I had just moved out of my parents house into Toronto's gayborhood.

positive · AI labelView post →What non-touristy places have you always wanted to visit and why?. A few spring to mind because they're in movies I like: Broken Hill, Australia - Wake in Fright, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert Tocopilla, Chile - Where Alejandro Jodorowsky grew up and shot his last two movies. Isle Royale, Michigan - It's an island in a lake with a lake in it that has an island.

positive · AI labelView post →#TodayInQueerHistory October 14 (1994) Priscilla, Queen of the Desert rides forth, making her theatrical debut in the UK #OTD. The beloved film is based on the adventures of 3 real life queens, Lady Bump, Strykermyer and Cindy Pastel. The film won an Oscar for best costume design.
neutral · AI labelView post →Terence Stamp in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert was the first trans character I ever saw in a movie, and she was there to illustrate the difference between trans women and drag queens for the audience. Then in furry I met trans people around my age, who were not doing the 70s-80s stealth thing.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Priscilla Queen of the Desert and I rather doubt that film would be made these days and that is sad. So much ground lost in recent times. Saw the stage show in London years ago and it was the best musical I have seen. Finale was MacArthurs Park and it was simply glorious.

positive · AI labelView post →i used to work at a movie rental store and we had an "australia" section (in the "international" section) and it was basically: Priscilla Queen Of The Desert, Mad Maxes, Muriel's Wedding, The Castle, Wolf Creek and The Loved Ones. (the Peter Weir films were in the "Peter Weir" section)

After a major restoration, it opens February 6, screening Priscilla Queen of the Desert [though it's no longer a repertory house]. #CastroTheater #FilmSky #MovieSky
neutral · AI labelView post →I'll probably get roasted for this, but I'll die in the ditch of arguing PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT was Terence Stamp's best film role - his world-exhausted but still empathetic Bernadette just elevated the high camp lunacy swirling around her. Truly less being more. #FilmSky #MovieSky
positive · AI labelView post →I strongly recommend watching "Priscilla: Queen of the Desert" as a cathartic road trip Aussie comedy palate cleanser.
positive · AI labelView post →Terence Stamp in THE LIMEY (1999) & THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT (1994). The media's all General Zod, but this was such a fine actor who chose his roles very carefully & made every movie he was in more compelling (most recently viewed on TCM, Pasolini’s TEOREMA). RIP at age 87.

Julie Newmar (1995) I've seen neither and know very little about them, excited to check them out.

I was growing up I QLD Australia at the time. Homosexuality had been decriminalised in 91, and this film coming out three years later felt like things

neutral · AI labelView post →He did such a wonderful job as Bernadette in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. For a 90s movie featuring a trans woman played by a cis man I was worried about it coming off badly when I first watched it, but it was anything but. He played Bernadette elegantly, with class & sass, & a real dimension of empathy.

We really wanted to rewatch The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert on Friday and Kanopy was the best place to get it. Yesterday, I watched a very shitty movie that I could only find on Hoopla, so YAY!
