I am so excited to see this, there has been buzz about this movie for a while now. I remember seeing parts of the play on youtube, I believe JP (and a few other faces from TBBT) were in that too.

Too bad i canceled my HBO last month. I wonder if I can download it on iTunes or something.

Watch! Matt Bomer, Jim Parsons, Taylor Kitsch, Mark Ruffalo Discuss “The Normal Heart”

by snicks | April 10, 2014

Taylor Kitsch, Jim Parsons, Mark Ruffalo and Matt Bomer sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to discuss HBO’s much-anticipated The Normal Heart.

They all realize the importance of the project, and reflect on how it brought the gay community together. Taylor, bless his heart, talks about the crotch in his 80′s jeans. I’m fine with that.

...I am very shallow, and tend to skip right past the activism and concentrate on the pretty men in suits. And Matt Bomer is so very pretty. (Headcasting for Nightwing, yeah, because that man was made for 'Best Butt in Spandex')

This better bring back my faith in Jim's acting.

Maybe this has woken him up to what he is doing in his 'day job'. We can hope.

We can only hope and pray! I mean THE SHAMY? I'm so looking forward to this film.

Im looking forward to it too. If it's anything like the clips of the Broadway show, it should be good. I mean it's got a star studded cast.... it BETTER be good.
