DVD: “Transformers: Age Of Extinction,” “Floating Skyscrapers,” “Space Station 76,” & More!

It’s all about variety this week, from a brainless big-budget FX blockbuster, Transformers: Age of Extinction, to a 1970s retro sci-fi parody, Space Station 76, to a queer Polish drama, Floating Skyscrapers (above), plus one of queer German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s best works, Ali: Fear Eats The Soul.

Here’s the skinny on each.

 

Transformers: Age of Extinction

($49.99 3D Blu-ray, $39.99 Blu-ray, $29.99 DVD; Paramount)

Shia LaDouche, step aside, for new franchise star Mark Wahlberg. Other than that, it’s just what you’d expect. Big robots, crazy effects, and more useless plot and inane dialogue than anyone would EVER need. Extras include an 8-part making-of, several featurettes, and a gag reel.

Space Station 76

($26.99 DVD; Sony)

Actor Jack Plotnik, best known for his turns in Gods & Monsters and as pyscho has-been actress, Evie, in drag comedy Girls Will Be Girls, assumes the director’s chair for this retro, 1970s-styled sci-fi satire that’s been likened to “Gene Roddenberry meets Pedro Almodovar.” Patrick Wilson plays the closeted captain of a space station, the staff of which includes Matt Bomer as an engineer with a prosthetic hand (which is, of course, just a glove), and Liv Tyler as a newly arrived second-in-command. Evokes the look and kitsch of old TV shows set in outer space, with hysterically straight-faced delivery (so to speak). Extras include a making-of, outtakes and deleted scenes.

 

Floating Skyscrapers

($24.99 DVD; TLA)

In this Polish drama, a champion swimmer, Kuba, finds his “straight” life with girlfriend Sylwia thrown into chaos when he falls for another, younger athlete, Michal.

 

Ali: Fear Eats The Soul

($39.99 Blu-ray/DVD; Criterion)

The late, great queer German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder touches on racism and the difficult challenges faced by an interracial couple in this 1974 Douglas Sirk homage about a 60-year-old, widowed cleaning lady, Emmi, who falls for a younger Moroccan mechanic, Ali (played by El Hedi Ben Salam, a Fassbinder regular and, for several years, his boyfriend). Despite their deep affection for one another, the couple quickly begins to feel the strain of a disapproving, racist, xenophobic society. Will they be able to disregard what the world has to say and be happy together? Well, this is a melodrama, so… While the prolific Fassbinder shot Ali in a mere 15 days on a low budget in between a couple of major productions, this stands out as one of his absolute finest, must-see works. This gorgeous 4k restoration comes with extras including an introduction from Todd Haynes (who also paid homage to Douglas Sirk’s social melodramas with Far From Heaven), interviews, a 2002 short film about a real-life incident involving neo-Nazis harassing one of Fassbinder’s foreign actors and more.

Die Another Day: Finding Common Ground in PrEP
“I know my sexuality is not going to be the cause of my death,” says Quentin Ergane, 38, a gay, HIV-negative, African-American caregiver in Seattle. His sense of certainty comes from his confidence in the HIV drug Truvada as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent transmission of the virus. After starting on PrEP this year, “I felt free, finally,” he says.

Our cover guy Quentin is far from alone these days. Although PrEP was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2012, only recently has there been a steady uptick in buzz about this potential game changer. Case in point: Both the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization came out with PrEP recommendations in 2014.

Accompanying the new level of attention on PrEP from policy makers is the increasing glare of the media spotlight (including us). POZ contributing writer Tim Murphy upped the ante with his cover story on PrEP for New York magazine in July. He explored how PrEP has reawakened arguments about the sex lives of gay men.

Soon after that article was published, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) launched a media against PrEP as a public health intervention. Advocates in support of PrEP then came out against the AHF . And so it goes. The controversy around PrEP just continues to grow in proportion to its increasing acceptance as part of the HIV prevention toolbox.

Written by POZ editor-at-large Benjamin Ryan, our PrEP cover story dives deep into the controversy. We also explore the effect of PrEP on gay men, but our goal is to broaden the conversation. As the article makes clear, PrEP isn’t a silver bullet. So what is it? We look at all the arguments and then attempt to answer this question: Can personal choice and public health find common ground in PrEP?

As for me, I admit that my opinions about PrEP have evolved. Having now lived with HIV for more than half of my life, I have a strong bias in favor of expanding access to treatment. My viral load is undetectable, and I’m quite aware of my privilege in having attained that status. Too many around the world remain without even the hope of ever having HIV meds.

Unanswered questions about PrEP remain, but I now accept that PrEP isn’t going to affect access to treatment. What matters most to me about PrEP at this moment is that all the data point to an undeniable consensus: At a personal level and with proper adherence, PrEP is highly effective at preventing HIV.

As the public policy debates unfold, I urge all involved in the PrEP discussion not to lose sight of that consensus. Had I been given the option when I was HIV-negative, I don’t know for sure that I would have chosen PrEP. My decision would have depended on key factors (as it does now for those who have the choice). That said, I would have wanted the chance to have a choice. That much I do know.
