This anthology assembled by "OUT" magazine executive editor BRUCE SHENITZ gives gay sons the chance to speak candidly about their complex and often conflicted relationships with the original "men in their lives." Shenitz discusses the range of experiences expressed in the book ("from alienation to reconciliation") with This Way Out correspondent ABIGAIL GARNER [www.FamiliesLikeMine.com] (with production assistance by ANNE McNALLY and intro/outro music from "O My Papa" by EDDIE FISHER). 6:35 [www.marlowepub.com] SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by acclaimed gay writer EDMUND WHITE [:30] + "THE HOURS" by out gay novelist Michael Cunningham is a remarkable book. As the winner of the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the PEN/Faulkner Award one would expect no less. But what does surprise is that a novel so many believed not cinematic has been turned into one of the most acclaimed movies of the year. The Paramount Pictures release draws on the life and work of novelist Virginia Woolf to tell the story of three women during the course of one apparently unremarkable, but in fact pivotal, day in their lives. All its main characters are either lesbian or bisexual, and are portrayed by some of the best actresses of our generation: Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, Allison Janney, and Julianne Moore. "The Hours"' recent Golden Globe win makes it a sure a contender in the Oscar race, so This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE is once again ahead of the curve with several clips, and comments from original storyteller MICHAEL CUNNINGHAM and the film's JULIANNE MOORE (with music from the motion picture soundtrack by PHILLIP GLASS) [8:30] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9:00 [www.thehoursmovie.com] Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:20 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:55 ----------------------------Please note-------------------------------- Anyone with questions, suggestions, or *news stories* is encouraged to email Coordinating Producer Greg Gordon at TWOradio@aol.co ----------------------------- thanks! --------------------------------- STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", LESBIAN "VIZ" IS PART OF THE BUZZ ABOUT "THE HOURS", AND GAY SONS RELATE HOW THEY RELATE TO THEIR FATHERS...
