And the most homoerotic movie ever made is...

**Thunderbolt and Lightfoot **in which Beau Bridges says to his pick up travel mate, Clint Eastwood, something like “we could make a good couple” and Clint replies, ruefully, “You’re 20 years too late!”

I think an Arwen/Galadriel subplot would have so hot. A lonely Arwen, pining for her Aragorn, being comforted by Galadriel. They could sponge each other down at Galadriel’s magical birdbath.

Wasn’t Galadriel Arwen’s grandmother?

Eeewww.

I did not know that. Yeah, eeeeeeewwwww is right. I think that goes in the 'Creepy slash pairings list"

Does that make Galadriel ElRond’s mom? Is Celeborn his dad or his step-dad?Because that makes the “psychic phone call” a little weird, like “Yeah, mom, I sent the hobbits off to Mordor. I don’t know how they’re going to get there, but they’re with Aragorn & Gandalf, they’ll be OK. I have to go now. Tell, um, Celeborn that I said hi”.

Galadriel is Arwen’s maternal grandmother so Elrond’s psychic phonecall is to his mother-in-law.

And, IIRC, Aragon is Arwin’s adopted brother. But they didn’t meet until he was 20 or so.

I just got a phone call from my Uncle Luci. He wants you to confirm which wing of Hell you want to stay in. :smiley:

The Wild Bunch. T.C. (LQ Jones) and Coffer (Strother Martin) are clearly a bickering gay couple. Their love, however, dwindles to nothing in comparison to the white hot manlove that flamed between Pike (Bill Holden) and Dutch (Ernest Borgnine). The whole movie is like some sort of surrealistically violent, sweaty homoerotic paradise. The scene of Mapache (Emilio Fernandez) trying to fire a machine gun offhand is so relentlessy phallic that it deserves an analysis all its own.

Not the most, certainly, but **This is Spinal Tap **deserves a mention. Beneath all the homoerotic stage posturing, crotch-stuffing, mostly young-male fans and emotionally retarded lyrics, there’s a simple boy-loves-boy story: Nigel can’t deal with David’s girlfriend Jeanine and leaves the band, for a while, but returns in an ecstatic, orgiastic round of duelling guitar solos in front of thousands of screaming Japanese fanboys.

Plus Paul Schaeffer just begs to get kicked in the ass. And he’s pretty gay to begin with!

…a veritable queen’s nest! Timothy Hutton wants to be George C. Scott’s bitch…and lusts after sean penn!
The ending is like Alexander the great-except the wrong people get killed!

It’s a TV series not a movie, but Lost is surprisingly homoerotic.

One of the deleted scenes is Nigel and David talking about the time one of them brought a sailor home for the night. Takes it right out of subtext and straight into the text.

So you’re saying that homosexuals are emotionally retarded? Explain.

Shaffer.

Video slash, sure. I want to see the scenes where they actually gave each other back rubs and lovingly smeared oil all over each other “for decontamination purposes.” :smiley:

Oh, and as for LesYay, I remember hoping in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai that Big Anjali and Tina would get together. They would’ve been way better for each other than either was with asshole Rahul.

Anybody else get a homoerotic vibe from The Pineapple Express? I was expecting Rogan and Franco to start making out.

I think I didn’t mention Hot Fuzz because I was talking about subtext, and there’s nothing subtextual about the relationship in that movie. It’s very much a romance between Nick and Danny, and Pegg and Frost have been upfront about that from the beginning.

No, that’s not what I was thinking. Rather, there’s a certain type of overly macho, dumbass, lewd and crude personality type, of whom some individuals are deeply closeted (even to the point of gay-bashing) gays. These are the kinds of guys who’d form heavy metal bands and write arena stompers to [women’s] “big bottoms,” etc. Come to think about it, a guy who’s desperately trying to pass as straight by adopting those mannerisms is kind of emotionally retarded – but because he’s living in denial and not because he’s gay per se. As for the guys in Spinal Tap, gay or straight, they’re emotionally retarded because they’re in a third-rate, stuffed-crotch, tongue-wriggling glam-ish hair metal band, but there is something about their pervasive sexual crudity that often smacks of overcompensation.

I got my copy out but couldn’t find it. Mine’s the Studio Canal/MGM “Special Edition” single-disc issue with over an hour’s worth of extra footage (the Joe Franklin Show interview, six TV commercials, some radio spots, etc.) but no listing of deleted scenes. Is your copy a rare Criterion or what? (And is there no doubt about what Nigel and David were referring to… this wasn’t a case of letting a fellow drunkard sleep it off on their couch or floor, was it?)

Has Saving Private Ryan been mentioned yet?
