I don’t think it’s unfair to say that gay movies tend to, on the whole, suck (no pun intended). Although light and at times laugh out loud funny, “Oy Vey! My Son is Gay” doesn’t break new ground. Though not for a lack of talent in the cast, the film itself struggles from beginning to end from many of the same issues that make most gay indie films basically unwatchable to anyone outside of the MSG* bubble.
The editors from BUTT magazine have teamed up with hospitality innovator Ace Hotel to curate a selection for its soon to launch gay porn pay-per-view service.

It’s a peculiar endeavor considering that the internet has come to dominate the porn industry’s distribution and viewership, hotel ordered porn seems counter-intuitive if not a lost cause. Yet BUTT, a magazine that has been at the vanguard of proving the mettle of traditional print in the age of the internet, has a knack for showing the wonders of what an honest perspective and keen thinking can do in defiance of all the hype.
In the tradition of forgoing the conventions of MSG* culture, the team at BUTT has put together a series of films that aren’t as immediately obvious as Bel Ami lovers or Falcon studs. Rather, they pooled from their own individual tastes and connoisseurship developing a range of erotic preferences representing the best of their genre. Whether it is forceful brutality or a gruff papichulo that gets you off, there’s something to illicit the stirrings of horny ambition for everyone. [Possibly NSFW]
