I did with the screener I got and he's got the Pornstache on in all it's glory.

Let me also say that after I have immersed myself in this story and this movie for the last seven weeks of my life, I have stumbled upon something I had not thought about in a long time.
PART OF ME IS CONSUMED WITH ANGER.
I am so f*cking sick and tired of the fact that so many people have to lie about their feelings. The fact that I have had to wait until I am 40 years old to see a love story on film about two men I can relate to creates a burning rage in me so immense that I hardly know what to do with it. I see people still talking about being gay as something that is somehow evil and wrong and having witnessed the psychic and physical destruction created by those attitudes I feel a simmering, incendiary resentment that could consume everything around me with it's force. It makes me want to break things, crush things, and be violent. It's not the movie. It's forty years of second best treatment, put down jokes, insulting television characters, hateful religions, and accumulated sadness for all the people out there who have suffered needlessly. So far, I have not encountered anything out there in the world along the lines of a jackass in a movie theatre making nasty jokes, and I have not witnessed any outright harrassment of gay people. But, I tell you what, God help the person who does this in front of me. God help them.

I wrote out a big, long reply to this and then deleted it. I knew what I wanted to say in my head, but when typed out, it was an embarrassing jumble of utter ****. I have never agonized over a post like that ever before. Sometimes you just can't find the right words and it's such a bitch.
In any event, reading that touched me a bit for a few reasons and I seem incapable of articulating exactly why.
