Now we
come to my very favorite of John's films: Mother, Mother.
Unfortunately, this film doesn't seem to be commercially
available. And my taped-off-TV copy of it isn't very good
quality. Nonetheless, I tried to take some snaps using Sports
Mode (since I couldn't pause the tape). It actually worked much
better than I'd hoped it would. But there are weird color
variations in these photos that I can't do anything about. Hope
you enjoy them, anyhow.
For those who have not seen the movie, John plays Jeff Cutler who has
recently lost his partner (Tom) to AIDS and is living with the disease
himself. Jeff is supported by his friend, Kate, and Martha, Tom's
mother. Sadly, he and his own mother are estranged. Their
relationship is typefied by an event from Jeff's childhood at a
carnival. Jeff wins a prize and chooses a red and black teddy
bear (because of his admittedly dramatic nature he later explains to
Kate). His mother, however, insists he take the (to her) more
appropriate blue and white bear. I'm telling you this so you
understand why I made this page red and black. It's for
Jeff. ;-) If you're interested, you can purchase a black
and red choker necklace in honor of this character at JABB's Store.
Proceeds go to AMFAR.
God bless,
Jenni
