56. Retired Generals and admirals warn that Trump’s transgender ban would hurt military readiness.

SENATOR JEFF FLAKE. The GOP is in denial about Donald Trump. “If by 2017 the conservative bargain was to go along for the very bumpy ride because with congressional hegemony and the White House we had the numbers to achieve some long-held policy goals—even as we put at risk our institutions and our values—then it was a very real question whether any such policy victories wouldn’t be Pyrrhic ones. If this was our Faustian bargain, then it was not worth it. If ultimately our principles were so malleable as to no longer be principles, then what was the point of political victories in the first place?”

BLOOMIN ONION. Outback Steakhouse denies links to the occult.

THE UNTOLD TALE. Behind FOX News’s baseless Seth Rich story. “The Fox News Channel and a wealthy supporter of President Trump worked in concert under the watchful eye of the White House to concoct a story about the death of a young Democratic National Committee aide, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.”

SINGLE PAYER. Bernie Sanders plans to take on establishment wing of the Democratic Party.

SUN, SAND & SKIN. Fire Island’s gay haven in the 1970s.

Arthur ChattoROYAL HOTNESS. Prince William and Harry’s cousin Arthur Chatto.

MONTANA. ACLU challenges legal suffiency of anti-L:GBTQ ballot initiative: “Any description of the true intent of this discriminatory initiative– to prevent transgender individuals from using public facilities that correspond with their gender identity – is entirely absent from the ballot statement,” said Caitlin Borgmann, Executive Director of the ACLU of Montana. “In order for  Montana voters to cast an intelligent and informed vote they must have clear and accurate information about the Montana Family Foundation’s proposed initiative.”

GAY MARRIAGE AT SEA. You’ll soon be able to do it while cruising: “Following a recent Supreme Court ruling allowing same-sex marriages in Bermuda, three Carnival Corp. cruise lines — Princess Cruises, P&O Cruises and Cunard Line — have revealed they are now taking bookings for same-sex marriages at sea. The ruling permits any Bermuda-registered cruise ship offering weddings at sea packages the opportunity to offer same-sex ceremonies.”

STEWARD BUTLERFormer Marshall University football player pleads guilty in anti-gay attack: “Butler, who was running back, is accused of striking two gay men on a 9th Street sidewalk in Huntington.  Butler said in a Cabell County courtroom he did hit both men. He also said he would fail a drug test because of marijuana use.”

JAMES FRANCO. On addictions, directing vs acting, and sex scenes.

Armie Hammer Attracts the Attention of Timothee Chalamet in the New Trailer for Gay Drama ‘Call Me By Your Name’ — WATCH

Armie Hammer Attracts the Attention of Timothee Chalamet in the New Trailer for Gay Drama ‘Call Me By Your Name’ — WATCH

Call Me By Your Name

Call Me By Your Name, the film adaptation of the Andre Aciman novel starring Armie Hammer and Timothee Chalamet and directed by Luca Guadagnino, was a critical rave at Sundance, and snatched up quickly in January by Sony Pictures Classics.

Hammer plays the story’s “24-year old American scholar spending the summer of 1983 in Northern Italy, where he attracts the attention of a 17-year-old Jewish-American boy, played by Timothee Chalamet.”

Writes Vulture:

There’s a lot to swoon over here, from the pitch-perfect performances to the gorgeous cinematography by Sayombhu Mukdeeprom and the two new Sufjan Stevens songs on the soundtrack — one of which, “Mystery of Love,” you can hear in this trailer. Alas, you’ve still got a while longer until you can check out the movie in full: A near-certain Oscar contender, Guadagnino’s film won’t be released until November 24. It may seem like too long a wait for something so anticipated, but if it weren’t bittersweet, it wouldn’t be Call Me by Your Name.

Watch the new trailer:

Variety reported:

Guadagnino casts his lead actors without even conducting a chemistry test. He shot his lush drama near in Crema, Italy. During the first rehearsal, in a garden outside of the film’s house, he had Hammer and Chalamet go straight to a pivotal moment in the script, which was adapted from a beloved 2007 novel.

“The next thing we know, we’re lying in the grass and making out,” Hammer said, adding: “The shooting of the first kiss scene was great. It felt as organic and special as every shot we did on this movie.”

“I’ve never seen a shot like that from above, where Armie and I were splayed out on the grass,” Chalamet, 21, said. “The scenes that were intense in sexual nature on the page weren’t treated any differently.”

Here’s a clip from the film released earlier this year:
