Christian maelen gay
6/13/99Ok, unless some miracle happens to Maelen's motivation, this probably will be the last update for now. I got you the pics from his latest movie appearance in "Woo," once again, as a cop. This period he talks longer though and more interaction with the major characters. Either he's been inactive since the production, "I think I do" or shadowy uniform's no great for him cuz he looks bit larger than usual in this film. I really trust he gets his act together and do some more movies. sorry about the quality of the pics btw. blame Snappy business. the quality of pics doesn't even look close to the sample on the box. anyway, enjoy the pics and everyone pray for his next movie to reach out soon!!
6/12/99Finally!!! I have gotten some snapshots of "I think I do," the movie starring Christian Maelen. I worked my butt off to obtain these so please enjoy. I didn't get any shots of kissing or love scene just in case he's straight and don't like to be viewed as queer guy. I should be cautious since this
The 1997 gay romcom, “I Think I Do,” written and directed by Brian Sloan, is existence reissued in a 4K version on iTunes and Amazon on April 19 for its 25th anniversary. The clip, which features a terrific ensemble cast, is as fresh and as frothy now as it was upon release.
“I Think I Do” opens at George Washington University, where six friends are roommates. Carol (Lauren Vélez) and Matt (Jamie Harrold) are coupled. Beth (Maddie Corman) wants to be coupled with Eric (Guillermo Díaz). And Bob (Alexis Arquette) is crushing on his unbent roommate Brendan (Christian Maelen), who flirts with Sarah (Marianne Hagan). After Bob makes an unwanted pass at Brendan at a Valentine’s Day party, there is tension between the guys.
Cut to five years later, when Carol and Matt are getting married. Bob is a bridesmaid, and now dating soap opera star Sterling Scott (Tuc Watkins), who wants to marry him. Beth is still hunting Eric, and when Brendan unexpectedly shows up, Sarah keeps hoping to bed him. However, Brendan is fixated on — and wants to fix things with — Bob. Needless to utter , complications ensue.
Sloan makes all the affectionate antics amusing with droll one-liners, some clever slapstick an
“It’s a date movie, like unbent people have had for years, and I’m glad to saturate that gap. I’m a huge romantic at heart.” ~ Writer/Director Brian Sloan.
A writer is violently rejected by their college obsession. Years later they reunite at a friend’s wedding. The writer’s dating a soap opera celestial body but the crush has had a change of heart. I Think I Dois a lovey-dovey comedy that isn’t particularly amusing. The protagonist (trans artist Alexis Arquette) is a sourpuss who is too self-loathing to recognize they’re being pursued by two dream boats. The supporting actors play hammy clichés. Luckily the likeable dreamboats provide the want fulfillment fantasy that every romcom needs. The soap hunk could have been a blowhard but Tuc Watkins makes him an adorable clown. Christian Maelen brings layers to the underwritten devotion. Both men find the vulnerability and charm in their roles. They elevate a mediocre motion picture into pleasant C+ territory.
What makes this film interesting to me is the year it was released. LGBT+ romcoms were modern territory in the 90’s. 1995’s Jeffrey and 1999’s Trick were the tentpoles, but the genre wouldn’t pick up steam till the 2000’s. I Think Bob (Alexis Arquette) and Brendan (Christian Maelen) are best friends and room mates among a group of college friends in Washington. Bob is in love with Brendan, which is glaringly obvious from the originate , so it’s strange that none of their friends seem to realise until they are told. The film begins on Halloween, skips along to Christmas and then to Valentine’s Day. On this occasion Bob and Brendan begin fighting and Brendan hits Bob, while their embarassed friends look on. These in advance scenes are somewhat sketchy and have a low-budget feel which doesn’t bode well. But do stick with it, because this turns into a very funny and feelgood film. The action moves to “a few years later” when friend Carol (Lauren Vélez) is about to procure married to friend Matt (Jamie Harrold) and the old college pals are coming back together for the wedding. Now Bob is with daytime soap actor Sterling (Tuc Watkins), who wants to create their relationship “more permanent”, and Bob accepts. But when Brendan arrives the tables are turned, for he has realised that he was in admire with Bob all along. Can he win him back? The script is entire of implausible coincidences of the “I’ve lost my room keI Think I Do
