I, also, must regretfully state that I will never direct a Star Wars or MCU movie. 

Nail, meet head. Elevated horror’s biggest problem is that it way too often can’t find the right balance. It either makes the subtext straight up text and forgets to give us anything interesting to do with it or it makes the actual story so impenetrable that arthouse geeks go nuts trying to out-snob the next one.

That

It was especially galling considering that Fire Island just came out earlier this year and received fantastic reviews. No one cares that it wasn’t by a “major studio.”

What stood out to me was the claim that no (NO!!) straight actor would sign on to play in the Brokeback Mountain parody. That seems so patently and provably false. Maybe none of the famous straight actors that you specifically asked, or none of the famous straight actors that you specifically wanted, but I bet if you

No one should have to declare their sexuality in order to get a role.

I’m glad this AV Club article exists to sum up another AV Club article written earlier this week, in case I didn’t have time to read that one, especially with the added editorializing by the author putting words in Stoller’s mouth. That interview didn’t actually include Stoller accusing Styles or the film of

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the people behind Bros attacking their potential audience wasn’t a good move. I will also say that attacking the makers of another queer(ish) project is probably not a good idea.

I mean, Queer as Folk beat them there by decades, there’s no reason to cut it

My thoughts exactly. Gay rom-coms aren’t a new thing. What’s new about Bros is that it’s being marketed to a mainstream audience. Part of the problem with that equation is that it doesn’t seem to have been marketed well.

I thought the real horror was the friends we made along the way

If it was porn, they’d use a $30 butt, not a $30,000 fake butt.

Small comments:

I just don’t think romcoms work as theater-released movies anymore. They’ve been overly proliferated through so many other mediums in the last few decades that you can essentially get your romcom fill without leaving your house and dropping $15-$20 on a movie ticket.

Also, having the fundamental theme of the movie

Nah David O Russell seems like he’s kinda a gigantic dickhead, and also assaulted his transgender niece 

And the thing those movie’s had in common is they had funny trailer’s that never made it look like it was only for Greek people or only for Asians or only a chick flick. Bro’s pitch was entirely about being groundbreaking,which makes many people open to seeing it think it wasn’t a funny or good movie.

The last movies I saw in a theater were ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ and ‘Nope’. I saw the trailer for Bros in the theater. Based on the trailer, the movie looks like a trite rom com with the only redeeming quality being the LGBTQ+ cast. I’ll probably check it out when its streaming on Netflix, but not planning

Fuck off, Billy.

It sucks because the haters are gonna use this as ammo but the fact is Bros probably did what any romantic comedy coming out the last week of September was gonna do.

A million people attended the Pride parade in my city this year. If all of them bought tickets, the box-office would’ve tripled, and that’s just one city. The problem isn’t that there aren’t enough LGBT+ and allies, it’s that nobody wanted to see this particular movie.

Bro. A lot of gay people didn't show up for it, either. Myself and my husband included. Get over yourself.
