Dawson's 50 Load Weekend (2005) was such a beautiful, moving film. Why the hate for it?

"Le Weekend de Dawson Avec Cinquante Depots de Sperme."

Un film de Max Sohl.

I came away fearing tunnels after that film.

Dawson set the standard for cumwhores that followed him. Thank you, gay porn.

The Wrigleyville CumDump owes his life to this film.

0/10

Wow OP. I was so close to making a thread about this myself. What a beautiful coincidence of two whorish minds! Anyways, my thread was going to be asking about how popular and impactful it really was when it was released.

I'll never understand why Dawson's Oscar nomination was for supporting actor. He dominated every scene he was in.

[quote]He dominated every scene he was in.

I wouldn't exactly say he "dominated" but he was receptive.

Was Brenton Thwaites in this movie?

All the horrid ugly aids-faces really made the movie. I still have night terrors to this day.

"He took... and took... until there was nothing more to take."

At least he said his lines and hit his marks without chewing on the scenery - that's more than I can say for Miss Davis.

La Creme de la Creme

It was a remarkable naturalistic performance--all those years of training at Stella Adler really paid off. He was able to convey so much inner complexity only by moaning, expressing everything from "I am high as a fucking kite right now" to "God, this hurts!" to "NOW! NOW!" to "When's the next one?", and all without the benefit of words. It was the performance of a lifetime--and such a step up from "Dawson's 20-Load Weekend" (far the inferior film). It would be hard to imagine Laurence, Lord Olivier or even Dame Peggy Ashcroft improving on that.

What a shame, I was all set to sign on, but Gary talked me out of it.

I loved all of the spit-takes and bloopers in the credits. You have to wait until the end. It's worth it. Most of the people in the theater I went to had already left - they missed the best part!

If Dawson took 50 loads a weekend now, it would be all over Twitter and OnlyFans.

The post credits stinger set up quite a twist for the sequel.

Damn you guys! Some of us haven't seen it, yet. Please post SPOILER ALERT in the title. This is all very rude. Some of us didn't want the end ruined.

Don't tell R19 about the 50th load.

Did anyone see the 3D version? It was like the cum was squirting on your face! It made my mom jump!

One of the few cases where the sequel surpassed the original. Like “Return of the Jedi “ or “Godfather II”.

I thought the Dawson Weekend Happy Meal toy was a bit inappropriate though.

Did any of you have ALL FIFTY of the trading cards? I only got 28 of them. Some of the others are really rare.

Can't wait for the spin-off TV-series: "Dawson's Crack".

Dawshon'sh 50 loadsh! That'sh the mosht shemen I ever shaw!

Such a clumsy title. Shouldn’t it have been called

“Dawson’s Crack”

Oh shit I just saw r24

I heard they're doing a reboot - but #37 is being difficult saying he was underpaid even though he was really the center of the film.

Apparently Dawson wasn't as nice to his co-stars as he said.

Only on DL thread of Dawson’s 50 load weekend you can find the mention of Dame Peggy Ashcroft.

Little known fact - Dawson spent a month with Helen Lawson prior to filming to research the role.

Because back then bareback porn was stigmatized. But now it has become the standard, lol.

Buddy Epson was originally cast as Dawson, but had to drop out due to a severe latex allergy.

When the loads run out, I see the inspiration for Dawson's Creek

Little known fact 2:

Dawson's real name is Derek. But he changed his name to Dawson to honour Helen LAWSON who took all the loads Broadway had to offer.

"Two thumbs up" takes on a whole new meaning with this picture ...

Are they ever going to turn it into a musical?

Everyone talks about how versatile Streep is -- she'd never have been able to pull of this role.

I laughed!

I cried!

It was better than CATS!

She could have been one of the masked participants, R37.

Too many of the "donors" were lured from the blood bank door down the street from the shelter.

[quote]OP: thick and creamy.

Sure. If you like amber clots with flecks of blood in it.

[quote] Anyways, my thread was going to be asking about how popular and impactful it really was when it was released.

Perhaps you could start a thread informing people that the word is "anyway" and not "anyways".

R41 How dare u

Thank you, fat nellie unfuckable prisspot at R41

When did Dawson die from STD's?

[quote] When did Dawson die from STD's?

What does the STD possess?

50 Loads of Laundry ? My Goodness that boy needs some good colored help !!!!!

The movie was OK but the book was better.

I can hardly wait for the Almodovar remake.

The Criterion edition is the best.

Overrated schlock. The gratuitous gay sex in that film was obvious gay baiting and judging by this thread, it worked. 🙄

Not enough diversity though. It would be canceled today

Were there any Afro-Latinx in the cast? Because if not, they better get on that.

This shows the typical white male cis able bodied bias of DL.

I know of least 50 trans wimmins of color who take 50 loads in a single afternoon, not spread out over a weekend. Remember who REALLY started the LGBTQAZPAHIVBB movement!

I swear I remember a debate in the Times about whether it was appropriate to count the bukake loads, but I can’t find the link. Did anyone save it?

I don't wish to carp, but the titles of Dawson's films have tended to be spoilers. His 2004 feature, Cumsloppy Buttholes, gives away the entire plot!

I can see a new venture here with two possible plots;

Dawson's Titanic Adventure

1. Dawson takes as many loads as possible from the first sighting of the iceberg to the ship sinking

2. Dawson has an iceberg sized amount of frozen cum placed in his butt which melts while he pleasures various seamen. And their semen.

Who do I write to about getting these into production?

R40 True devotees of Le Cinema Vérité find the casting seminal.

[quote]I got teary eyed more than once while watching it.

Ya got any of those Kleenex you might be willing to part with?

It's incredible to think that someone managed to take a photo at the Folsom Street Fair two decades ago of the then dewy young Dawson and his first meeting with Jesse O'Toole. Such is the stuff of legends...

Though he has bottomed and/or been fisted by virtually everyone working in gay porn during those impactful years, Dawson still radiates a youthful sweetness and innocence - even after a bareback orgy.

Spielberg’s next remake?

the prequel: Dawson's Commute

When will Dawson's oeuvre receive its due and be recognized by AFI and the Library of Congress?

Please refresh my memory. Did Dawson cum in the end?

He invented a new Unit: A Bakers’ Dawson.

Legend has it that James Cameron was a fan.

He named Rose Dawson after Dawson's rose...

A David Cronenberg video would have been less of a body-horror film.

I understand he used a stunt double for much if it. The real Dawson took only two loads.

r68=Peter North

James Cameron would've done this in 3-D IMAX.

It was almost as good as Shaving Ryan's Privates.

That’s a lie, 68. They had to stop at 50 because the memory cards were full.

I think the problem is that it was released during a highly competitive year Oscar wise. Certainly a poignant and layered film. So full of metaphor.

I agree. It was a subtle and elegant performance . He didn’t chew the scenes. Imagine if Nathan Lane had gotten the part.

The Hans Zimmer score was a bit distracting. In some parts of the film you couldn't even hear the dialogue.

OP - I was not moved by this film.

And despite your link, Dawson was not a "boy" and certainly not "cultured".

The CGI leather was a bit much.

It was the first film to receive the coveted Palm D'Whore at Cannes. I heard there was a seven minute standing o-face after the credits, a record at the time.

I do wish Cecil B. DeMille had gone ahead with the silent version with Ramon Novarro. Imagine the Wurlitzer organ!

Dawson is the spunkmeister! ALL HAIL THE SPUNKMEISTER!!!

Was there an intermission? With a Miklós Rózsa score?

Yes, R81. Most folks went to the lobby (or mezzanine) bar and had a cocktail and then returned to the theater for the jaw-dropping “second act.”

The big question was whose cock had whose tail during that intermission.
