Now I wanna go watch Callista episodes. I remember her being super OTT but I can't remember if she was downright camp.

:laughing:

First of all, hello mature, eloquent and insightful person, thank you for being a member of MB and for saving a thread that was going to hell real fast. :love:

Second, I never though about it before you mentioned it, although she does seem a bit tomboyish. I would hope that in 2018 she wouldn't have to hide though. So hopefully not, because that would just be a little sad.

In Europe, we'd just call that an "art film". I don't remember much about it, apart from "the sex scene" and generally terrific performances, but I found I liked Carol better. Ironically, it was "warmer"? for me.

Good LGBT films are extremely difficult to find in general though, not just netflix. Depends on your preferences of course, I for example, didn't care at all for Call me by your name even though most people were fawning over it (even Ivory had an issue with its puritanical approach to gay intimacy DESPITE being directed by a gay man, probably because he's an Italian gay man).

Most LGBT films either suffer from lackluster performances (difficult to find good gay actors or believable straight actors playing gay characters), low budget or throwaway silly storylines when they try to go for a more "mainstream" appeal.

And obviously lesbian, bi and trans content is even harder to find than gay so...

Still some classics to choose from, not on netflix maybe...:)

I can't even imagine how many repressed lesbians must have splooshed when they first heard this **** in '73:

Splooshed lmao.

Ori >>>

She does come from country music so maybe old habits die hard? I hear that Dolly Parton is a barely closeted lesbian with a beard husband and a "best friend" who went on their honeymoon, and if true she's one of the biggest country stars of all-time and a 1st tier gay icon to boot but she won't even come out after decades. Country music is slightly stifled like that.

I've heard that Whitney Houston was gay too.

I'd imagine it'd be extra difficult for someone like her, considering how her original fanbase (country fans) may be a bit conservative and not as open to the idea (if my conspiracy theory is correct). I found this clip from a Chely Wright interview that talks about it more in depth-- not that it's really new information for most of us, seeing as all this has been going on since the old hollywood days.



Oh, I've nothing against long, moody art films; Lea Seydoux was pretty convincing in the role, but I don't know, I just felt it was lacking something. Carol definitely felt warmer, as you said. (And also.. Cate Blanchett. I was going to love it regardless) Haven't seen Call Me By Your Name; when I first started hearing about it I felt sort of iffy about the plot, though I don't remember why.

I dearly hope that the movie coming out about Virginia Woolf and her lover will be good or at least not too terribly butchered.

And yeah, netflix has never had a great movie selection in general. And plenty of older films especially are filled to the brim with gay/lesbian subtext, so I often just rewatch those instead. (Fried Green Tomatoes, etc)

I think Gia was my first Gay Movie Experience. Saw it when it first came on HBO (I think?) when I was a teenager.

Shout out to my first gay experience even if I didn't know it.

Oh ****, I'd forgotten about that :laughing:

Genuinely can't remember my first gay experience tbh.

That drunk?

Was a long time ago.

Did you love him?

No lmao.

That's beautiful, man.

In my lifetime, I've had short relationships with men. Nothing too serious or anything. It was during a time of my life when I was still figuring **** out. I don't necessarily identify with a specific sexuality since I don't really know how to phrase that I find anyone attractive. But I'm rarely even sexually attracted to someone.

Kisexual.

Pronounced like bisexual.

I be sexual.

lol

Damn straight, bruh.

I had to listen to George Michael after reading that. Not even kidding.

Burning question:

What are some onomatopoeias that UK lads and lasses use for when a punched lasagna starts getting warm in the oven?

*crunch of a Messerschmitt on the White Cliffs of Dover*

"JEAN!!!"

"SCOTT!!!"

*Googles Messerschmidt*

"Franz Xaver Messerschmidt was a German-Austrian sculptor most famous for his "character heads", a collection of busts with faces contorted in extreme facial expressions."

****, Cyclops and Jean are into some weird **** these days.

Well, I see now that if you write an on topic post in here, it just gets thrown aside. Well played.

That's much more of a Scott/Emma thing that Emma dragged Scott to.

Remember when he made out with Emma on Jean's ****ing grave?

10/10 hero

You mean like how I wrote that big ass on-topic query that only Chiomara addressed? I'm actually kinda disappointed that adidass didn't respond at all. Really wanted to get his opinion.

I have opinions about how Grant Morrison wrote a far more interesting Cyclops than you generally got beforehand and how Scott and Emma are a better couple than him and Jean but yeah that's not good.

I was going to respond but I didn't seem like I could add anything. The thread has sort of become an ironic form of itself.

I was gonna defend how the thread should be allowed to be what OP wanted it to be but we've got 12 pages of nonsense so who gives a ****?

This is literally MB in a nutshell and honestly... I can't really say it's that disappointing. Lots of great bants for sure.

You can't tell me you gents aren't having fun.

We were talking about the X-Men. Please stay on topic.

edit: for the next little while I'm gonna see just how many threads I can steer towards X-Men discussion.

Died of AIDS. Gayness confirmed.

Are there any LGBT X-Men? I can't remember.

Northstar. And Mystique has been in the X-Men for some reason that I'm sure everyone regretted.

Trolls? I was trying to be mature and offer different opinions. I was also trying to be mature by hoping this forum would grow up a little and stop using the F-word but if my attempt to raise the maturity level of this forum one millionth of degree is met with accusations of trolls than I give up. I don't care, or maybe I should say I stopped caring. I thought I did care once but I guess it was beaten out of me not to care anymore. I guess I have to face the facts Music Banter will certainly never become Maturation Banter.

I am totally lost with that analogy cause those words are so ubiquitous. This year I was called both the F-word and the N-word, so it's not like people stopped using those words in 2018. Sorry I brought it up, but I thought it was a relevant topic, but perhaps not relevant to this thread.

Final thought: I understand you frustrations, many of my threads get ransacked, spammed, and/or trolled. One thing I know for sure is that you'll never have to worry about is this place growing up.

I like that this place isn't grown up. It's a way to get away from everything else. Some funny **** is said on a daily basis and its because we're all just super immature.

How did I not know of such ludicrous fun music?
