While James Asal Jr. takes a break, I thought I’d share one of his posts from last spring that I really enjoyed (and could relate to – guess which character is me and which is Sergio).

Last week I asked for some book suggestions and as always happens when I put out such a request Call Me By Your Name was suggested. This is one of my favorite gay-themed novels so imagine my surprise when one of the people who left a comment said that the book is being made into a movie.
Elio the young man that the book centers on is played by Timothée Chalamet and the American graduate student who moves in with Elio’s family for the summer, Oliver, is played by Armie Hammer. If you are unfamiliar with the book, I would highly recommend reading it and then keep an eye out for the movie which according to IMDB will open in late November 2017.

April 4- 8, 2017 MFA members preview
April 9 – July 9, 2017 open to the public
Later this week members of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston (MFA) will be able to see the first major international exhibition (and only showing in the US) that examines the importance of Henri Matisse’ s personal collection of objects, offering unprecedented insight into the artist’s creativity. The exhibit opens to the public next Sunday, April 9th and will run through July 9, 2017.
The exhibit includes 36 paintings, 26 drawings, 11 bronzes, 9 cut-outs, 3 prints, and an illustrated book by Matisse along with approximately 39 works from his studio collection (many on loan from private collections and publicly exhibited outside of France for the first time).
Matisse in the Studio – MFA Exhibit
Henri Matisse (December 31, 1869 – November 3, 1954) was a French artist, known for his use of color and his fluid and original draughtsmanship. Matisse is commonly regarded, along with Pablo Picasso, as one of the artists who best helped to define the revolutionary developments in the visual arts throughout the opening decades of the twentieth century. His mastery and impressive body of work that spans over a half-century, won him recognition as a leading figure in modern art.

The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) Boston is free on Thursday evenings, starting at 5PM. I realized it had been a while since I last posted this so I thought I’d remind those of you who may be looking for something a little different to do after work. The good news is that since I last posted this reminder in the spring of 2015 a bunch of new restaurants and bars have opened in the neighborhood giving you several options after strolling through the the ICA.
Free Thursdays at the ICA run from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Curious to see what is on display? Check out their website here: www.icaboston.org/exhibitions.

2017 Hasty Pudding’s Man of the Year, Ryan Reynolds, gets a little cheeky in this Deadpool 2 trailer that came out over the weekend. Just a heads up that the movie teaser is a little NSFW due to some skin on glass action and swearing.
Deadpool 2 is currently scheduled for release in one year, March 2018. Hopefully future movie teasers will be equally cheeky.
