I'm watching the film "Trick" with DL and Gays Icons Christian Campbell, J.P. Pitoc and the gorgeous Tori Spelling

I'm sorry J. P. Pitoc didn't have more of a career. He was so hot in this.

Neither of those guys are icons, DL or gay.

Sure, Jan.

Tori is actually pretty good in this.

A sweet, feel-good film. I was really pulling(no pun intended) for these two cute guys.

Probably the best role Tori ever had.

Steve Hayes and Miss Coco Peru added just the right sassiness.

I had never seen any man quite like Pitoc, he was truly at the height of his beauty and sexiness.

Christian Campbell seemed the most "real" of all the actors.

The straight couple made an effective counterpoint to the gay angle.

NYC Dl'ers: What did you think of the views of the city?

cute.

The views of the WTC are sad, knowing how little time they had left after the filming.

Great movie, though I haven't seen it in eons. This thread makes me want to look it up again.

Pitoc was super hot in Six Feet Under.

What happened to the Pitoc guy? Gay? French?

I loved this movie. It made me like Tori Spelling,

Pitoc rapidly aged afterward.

He gay IRL?

Surprisingly I have not seen this movie. Perhaps you gays will convince me to.

r10 Probably drugs.

R13 Supposedly they're both straight.

This film, The House of Yes, and her own show, So NoTorious, are the reasons I can't completely write off poor Tori.

I love the ending - sweet and wonderful. Pitoc was sex on a stick.

The straight roommate had the standard issue Macaulay Culkin 90's boyband haircut.

Of all the movies that have been turned into musicals, Trick would be perfect.

They could even have 2 musicals within a musical moments, with Katherine's performance in Salome and a Broadway style reprise of Enter You at the end.

And don't Mary! me, but seriously, Tori Spelling really deserved every best supporting actress nomination going for this scene alone. Who remembers Samantha Morton in that Woody Allen film? Chloe Sevigny? How many people still rave about Angelina Jolie?

If they made it today, everyone would be black and trans and humorless. Directed by Janet Mock. Produced by gunther ryan murphy.

Tori & the drag queen were twins.

This should be in the NYC 90's thread.

It was one of the first successful cheerful gay indies, after all the (entirely justified) gloom of the previous decade, so it was a breath of fresh air.

Why did their careers go down the shitter?

I love this movie, actually have it on DVD, it may have been one of the first DVDs I ever bought.

MARY! I'm sorry but it just had to be done.

What's this on? Netflix??

I believe what helped the movie at the time was the uplifting ending when every other gay movie ended in tragedy and death.

R28 You are correct. They shot this movie thisclose to where I worked. J.P Pitoc was at his peak in this movie. Gorgeous.

Icons? ICONS? Oh, Mary.

It wasn't about ... you know ... what every other gay movie was about at the time.

I always found it interesting that for a gay movie the most explicit thing were the naked breasts of Lorri Bagley (whom I love in Veronica's Closet). Because that's what the audience for a gay rom-com was expecting.

r21 and genderless.

Instead of singing 'Enter You' Tori would sing 'Enter They'

Christian Campbell was kind of a prettier Ryan Reynolds.

There’s a Trick 2 in the works.

Tori Spelling's chunky head makes her resemble Donna Summer

Everyone had millennial fever and paranoia at what lay lurking around the corner in 1999.

This movie was lighthearted and a welcomed breath of fresh air from the traditional tragic 3 hanky weepers that were gay themed movies at that time.

PS: I'd have loved to flip the so-called straight roommate. Gingers are my kryptonite.

None of those are gay icons

Voila! It’s showtime!

I'm eating a GAY ICON fruit salad and listening to DL ICON Ari Melber podcast and soon will wash my ass with GAY AND DL ICON Dove shower gel and put on a GAY DL ICON H&M linen shirt.

I'll go to my grave claiming that Tori Spelling should have won best supporting actress Oscars for this one and The House of Yes.

It would be a great musical if Christian Campbell ran around in a flesh colored jock again.

Always loved this movie. It was so refreshing to see a gay movie not about AIDS, coming out, homophobia, self hate. It was just a cute rom com about 2 guys looking for a place to hook up that turns into something more. The guys were great and adorable. Tori is very good. Never liked her before or since but here she is perfect. Great use of the Chelsea and West Village areas. The phone booth at the end is still there (well it was before Covid) I sing "Enter You" in my head whenever I pass it

r41 = Gay & DL icon bitter cunt!

Great film, OP. It's been nearly two decades since I sat through it, though. I have it on DVD.

There's two other really good ones from close to that period of time, though neither are as comedic as 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤.

One is 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 (1998), and the other is 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧 (1998).

𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧 trailer:

My online hookup played this movie for me when I came over. I thought we were immediately going to get it on, but I guess not. Cute movie. We exchanged bjs afterward.
