I realize Cruising is still controversial and I'm not looking to debate any of that but as a slasher movie fan, I find the movie interesting because it's basically the only slasher movie made by an auteur with a studio budget. It's also an amazing snapshot of parts of New York City that you...
Yeah, I understand why people would want all gay people to be open about their sexuality but at the same time, I don't think anyone is under an obligation to tell anyone that they don't want to tell.
I'm with you there. Excellent performances (happy to see the great Michael Stuhlbarg getting some recognition), beautiful photography and the end shot over the credits is quite moving but it seems as if I didn't like the movie as much as everyone else did.
I think Chandler's character is also a product of his time so he's pissed because he feels that his manhood has been impugned by having his wife leave him for someone else and a woman at that. Like you, I'm not saying that excuses his behavior but I think it's why he's does some really horrible...
Generally, the only time that the MPAA lets you really see a penis in a mainstream studio movie is in a comedic situation so they'd probably try to burn the negative of a movie with explicit gay S&M content.
I love Franco not because every project he makes is wonderful (they're not all good) but because he takes chances that no one else in Hollywood takes. I'd much rather see a guy fail at doing something different than play it safe & career minded and have his managers and agents help him decide...
Amazon has ended up carrying all the Warner Blu-rays and matching the advertised price of BB or Target. You just have to wait until the day before it comes out to actually order from them.
I've always thought that a lot of that came from the killers in Rope being thrill killers like Leopold and Loeb who were (or were rumored to be) gay.
Also, Rope is available on Blu-ray as part of the Hitchcock set.
That's the best idea I've heard in a long time. I saw Pink Flamingos at a midnight show over the summer. I got a surprising level of enjoyment of hearing a crowd of people saying "I guess there's just two kinds of people, Miss Sandstone. My kind of people and assholes." along with Mink Stole. On...
I'm not going to tell anyone what to be offended by but I'd find this thread offensive if it was the only place where you were allowed to talk about gay themes in movies and that's not the case. Personally, I'm of the mind that people should embrace their similarities rather than highlighting...
Nightmare 2 is gay?! Sure, Jesse has 'something' inside of him that's trying to get out, he wanders into a gay S&M bar and he runs away from making out with his girlfriend to see his shirtless, well-built best friend who is asleep in bed but I don't see how any of that makes it-- oh wait, I...
