Kylie concerts, drinking exotically coloured cocktails & talking about boys

[slave2thewage]

That's right, this is the return of the gay thread.

[konstantin]

On this side of the pond it's also "talking about sports" now.

Curse word needed for emphasis. Truly amazing.

That worked a lot better on paper than in practice.

First of all, the storyteller is always automatically in the masculine/dominant role with the object of the gaze in the feminine role, therefore we kind of read that it's a man looking at a man - perhaps this would have worked with two women (but then the actual point wouldn't get across because porn). There was no subversion of film language here, so there was nothing set up to "trick" the viewer. Film theory 101 fail, essentially.

Also, the camera was physically in the shoes of a male. No attempt was made to make the camera "behave" like a woman. If the camera had been a few inches lower, it would have had a bit of an impact. The Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up video is WAY more effective in this way.

sorry if i come across as a dick, but do you really think the point was to trick you? does the whole thing need to be "packaged" better so that you'd "buy" it?

What else was it trying to do if not go "hey look it's a MAN he's doing all that stuff with! Gay marriage is just as valid as straight marriage, yo!"?

can't speak for whoever made that but i'm sure if they were trying to trick you they would have thrown in some macho stock scenes, of which there were none. because you know, a) gay people don't have to entertain you and b) they don't have to pretend they're exactly like straight people.

[icklekitty]

That critique earlier was in terms of film language, not things happening in the film. I don't really know what you mean by "macho stock scenes" and how that would relate to tricking you. I'm not sure where I claimed that gay people should be entertaining and pretend they're exactly like straight people. Also,

Paradox - you are trying to speak for whoever made that.

[slave2thewage]

Marriage? For homosexuals? Pff, they'll be wanting the vote next.

[Christo]

Seeing an absolute babe at the moment.

[slave2thewage]

Craig Colton?

[Christo]

That wouldn't be good for my waistline

[slave2thewage]

Can we kick him out of our sexuality? He brings the side down. Also, he's one plaid shirt away from being a dyke.

[icklekitty]

I'm willing to bet that he likes fish fingers.

The gays do love Rammstein, though.

[scorpiusdiamond]

New title is boss. Yess.

[kel]

great new title, slave. eww, rammstein.

[slave2thewage]

Rammstein = DILFs tbh.

That is, like, the antithesis of ETS.

[slave2thewage]

Homosexual Christmas party time! I plan on being an absolute bitch to the other gays and perhaps flirting with my friend's boyfriend that has a thing for me. Ta-ta!

[isak]

anybody watched '? It got really good reviews according to metacritic & rotten tomatoes. Proving quite difficult to find showings also.

Why is it so hard to find a normal, decent boy that just happens to be gay. Everyone that's good looking is either a complete princess, pussy, drug-addicted son of a bitch that has slept with everyone in the scene, sexually incompatible with me or a loser.

I would suggest lowering your standards, usually works for me

[Hula]

My gender and sexual identity are all over the place but I guess this thread's cosy enough. *parks bum on the linoleum*

I think it's more about feeling for the couple, trying to put you in their place, than actually trying to trick you. There is no trick when you show how loving and normal a gay couple is
I think it's a great video, since most things I've seen advocating gay rights are usually dead serious and playing the backed-off victim card. This is open.
