Sidelined: The QB and Me

3/14/2026

Closer was a masterpiece in the way it showed us a new way for exposition to happen: in the most boring way possible, followed by clumsly delivered dialogue by the two main actors. The only saving grace is the sheer presence of Nathan on screen. The raw sexual energy that this young gay hispanic male created with the male teacher whose name I can't remember (spoilers), is a testament to his ability to embody the role, and to go further and beyond for it (apparently the actor trained with multiple partners in preparation for the shot!). I would like to thank Drew Ray Tanner for making this experience a pleasant ride.
