I don’t, as a rule, go to “romantic comedies“ unless I’m dating someone who wants me to go to one.
As I am about as straight as a cis gender white male can get, the odds of me going to a gay romcom are right down there with Stevie Wonder pitching a called third strike against Luis Arraez.
Billy Eichner, the inexplicably famous producer and star of the LGBTQRomcom “Bros”, has spent the last week blaming people like me for his movie catastrophically taking the previous weekend.
So it’s mildly entertaining to see Matt Brennan, the LA Times entertainment writer and deputy A & E editor, throw a bucket of cold water on a Richner’s snit.
“No one wants to support a movie at the point of a bayonet.”
Openers spiraling rant last week reminded me of a conversation I had with an LGBTQ activist probably 15 years ago. The person said “tolerance“ for gas wasn’t enough; what they we’re looking for was to have the lifestyle “celebrated“.
And which I responded, as a conservative who’s participated in a gay bashing on the side of the gay guy, that I didn’t have time or spare energy to celebrate my own sexuality. He’s just going to have to get in line.
Note to Billy Eichner: want me to show up to a movie? Do it gay film noir.
I still probably won’t go, but at least you’ll have a shot
I think that faggot can be excused for his arrogance.
I mean, after grinding their filthy degeneracy into
society’s every nook and cranny for two decades, who’d have guessed the majority still doesn’t want a damn thing to do with it?
Blade;
Exactly! When Billy decided to use a typical left wing generalization against heterosexuals, he just radicalized his “film”.
It’s interesting to note that there are more than a few members of the LQGBT community that despise the more radical elements that constantly push their views and groom kids. In fact, I know several of them.
Those of us who experience visceral distress at behavior we don’t like tend to avoid exposing ourselves to it. Don’t movies have trigger warnings about naughty words, smoking, etc? Well, add one more to the list.
So tolerance for “gas” isn’t enough? Somehow I greatly enjoyed that typo…..
“Warning! This film contains jokes about buggery, serious talk about buggery, explicit descriptions of buggery, explicit images of buggery, re-enactments of historical instances of buggery, song-and-dance routines about buggery, synecdochal and metonymial references to buggery, realistic simulations of buggery, depictions of buggery as practiced in fictional, magical kingdoms, poetry about buggery, and tobacco smoking.”
The person said “tolerance“ for gas wasn’t enough; what they we’re looking for was to have the lifestyle “celebrated“
The typo is good, but I think it’s worth mentioning that the wildly successful progression from just begging for simple tolerance of homosexuality to it being celebrated (and jammed in your face) is the exact same plan underway with trannies and just now starting up with pedophilia.
The main character being openly a podcaster already makes me want to skip. I don’t think we should be encouraging ‘podcaster’ or ‘influencer’ lifestyles.
Romcoms target women audiences. On the other hand, raunchy, sexualized comedies tend to repel them. So Hollyweird goes off and makes a gay “romcom” featuring vulgar males doing things normal females aren’t comfortable with discussing much less viewing, and expects it to be a success?
I’d love to be the guy who does their risk assessment business review. Apparently anything goes and nobody questions their results.
Or maybe the studio thought they’d need a tax write-off and greenlit this? Again, not the wisest thing — they could have just waited a little longer in the Bai-den presidency, since Bai-den’s policies have now had time to give them all the write-offs they could desire.
You can’t say “cis gender” anymore. I find it offensive.
