![]() Weber's sheer rapture at physical beauty is overwhelmingly sincere, but nothing of much depth is revealed about anyone, and the parade of erstwhile personalities comes across as so much necrophilia, especially when it comes to the subject of gay supper-club singer Frances Faye, a minor figure on the subject of whom Weber is a monumental bore. Johnson - a married man with a daughter - is not asked for his opinion on being a gay icon, and is treated as a brainless beefcake throughout, rightly or wrongly. The premise of the film is that Weber creates a vast, campy portfolio of Johnson dressed up in various guises, and then takes him on a tour of his own portfolio of star interviews and photos, without really illuminating anything or anyone. With portraits of a lesbian jazz singer and a 16 year old wrestler. It manages to say a little, but not nearly enough, about himself, about the aesthetics of photography, about the handsome young wrestler and homoerotic icon Peter Johnson, with whom Weber is currently preoccupied, and about all the other characters that Weber has photographed, including Robert Mitchum, Diana Freeland and Wilfred Thesiger. 1h 38m IMDb RATING 6.7 /10 275 YOUR RATING Rate Documentary Biography A homage to Bruce Weber's Favourite things, these being mixing film, photography and classic movies.

And that’s about it profile-wise throughout the entire duration of the smoking experience. ![]() There is a distinct ground black pepper sensation through the nose and a dirty earthiness mixed with just a pinch of leather slowly evolves on the draw but you’ve really got to pay attention and hunt it down. We did pick up a a faint fruit-like sweetness on the cold draw but that was about it for prelight notes. The Sumatra wrapper is “rustic” to put it nicely, lumpy to put it more accurately. Man, this isn’t one of the more attractive cigars we’ve featured in the show by a long shot. Price: $5.49 (and right now boxes are on sale at Famous Smoke Shop for $123.99 and when you apply promo code TNCC20 that gives you $20 off any purchase of $100 or more knocking the total down to $103.99 – that’s $4.15 a stick!) I’m very sorry, and I promise that we’ll get back to our usual way of doing things as quickly as humanly possible… THE CIGAR – PUNCH CHOP SUEY by GENERAL CIGAR COMPANY It aint pretty and it aint right and I realize that it’s just another thing that’s going to frustrate and disappoint you all in a time in human history full of other major frustrations and disappointments. ![]() Where as my creamy, delicate yet masculine hands have been modeling cigars for over five years now, due to this pandemic bullshit Tut is now taking the cigar pics using his own hands for the time being.
