I've never seen that one. How was Friedkin's commentary on it?

I own the DVD. It is pretty good and controversial back when it came out. You can rent it and check out the commentary.

It opened my eyes to a world I never knew existed lol.

It's been on that list of films that I've wanted to see just out of curiosity. Reading about it in books is fascinating.

The movie is controversial because that world never really existed. It was an offensive, exaggerated portrait of gay culture, and was rightfully dismissed.

You're saying there wasn't gay leather bars/clubs? I thought that stereotype had to exist somehow.
