I came here to ask about that. In the special features to A History of Violence, at the end of the movie’s premiere he kisses David Cronenberg on the lips. What’s up with that?
You know who pings my gaydar something fierce? David Cross, the comedian who did “Mr. Show” and was on “Arrested Development” and such.
It’s not just that he’s so convincing at acting stereotypically gay, it’s the various forms of the “pronoun game” he plays. Like, in his standup act, I’ve never heard him talk about dating women, but when he talks about going places such as the zoo or “Light Up Atlanta” or whatever, he always went with “a friend”, never a woman or a date. When he does the bit about the little book full of “fun date suggestions,” he’s careful to note that “we’ll say a man and a woman for our purposes.” And when he talks about buying pornographic magazines for a plane ride, the title he goes with are, “The World’s Filthiest Ball-Draining Cum Mag” and “Puckering Virgin Assholes”, which strike me as odd, because you’d expect him to make up titles that are more blatantly hetero, ya know? They sound like they’re carefully crafted to sound hetero at first blush, but when you think about it, not so much.
And yeah, I know that he’s supposedly dating/dated female celebrities, but I have yet to see any photographic evidence of these relationships apart from “picture of them walking the dog together.” Not convinced.
Isn’t it obvious?
