Comedian Shows What Happens ‘If Gay Guys Said The S**t Straight People Say’

May 22, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Most LGBT people have faced questions about their sexuality that are pretty dumb, as well as having to deal with times when something apparently becomes ‘so gay’ to straight people just because it escaped from their lips.

However Comedian Daniel-Ryan Spaulding is out to challenge that, showing us that actually what it looks like ‘If Gay Guys Said The Shit Straight People Say’.

Although I think some of the questions he takes on actually more innocuous that he presents them here – after all, I don’t see being asked when you knew you were gay being such a terrible thing – he’s spot on with a lot of them. That’s especially true of those things that seem to want to paint all LGBT as a particular thing, based on the straight person’s preconceptions.

It’s not 100% original, but it is pretty funny. [Read more…]

Fancy Choosing Your Own Neil Patrick Harris Autobiography? You May Get The Chance

May 20, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

I’m still not 100% sure if this is real, but NPH tweeted it himself, so presumably it’s not just some elaborate joke, but it appears that rather than just releasing a traditional autobiography, he wants those who grew up in the 80s to get a bit nostalgic, as he’s written a choose your own autobiography – complete with a rather cool throwback cover.

The accompanying website says: ‘Sick of deeply personal accounts written in the first person? Seeking an exciting, interactive read that puts the “u” back in “aUtobiography”? Then look no further than Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography! In this revolutionary, Joycean experiment in light celebrity narrative, actor/personality/carbon-based life-form Neil Patrick Harris lets you, the reader, live his life. You will be born in New Mexico. You will get your big break at an acting camp. You will get into a bizarre confrontation outside a nightclub with actor Scott Caan. Even better, at each critical juncture of your life you will choose how to proceed. You will decide whether to try out for Doogie Howser, M.D. You will decide whether to spend years struggling with your sexuality. You will decide what kind of caviar you want to eat on board Elton John’s yacht.

‘Choose correctly and you’ll find fame, fortune, and true love. Choose incorrectly and you’ll find misery, heartbreak, and a guest stint on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. All this, plus magic tricks, cocktail recipes, embarrassing pictures from your time as a child actor, and even a closing song. Yes, if you buy one book this year, congratulations on being above the American average, but make that book Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography! On sale October 14, 2014.’

Jonah Hill Has To Kiss Channing Tatum’s Penis If Asked

May 20, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Have you ever wished you were Jonah Hill? Well now you have more reason to, as he lost a bet where his forfeit was that he promised to kiss Channing Tatum penis. Apparently that’s seen a something bad in the straight guy world (sometimes it’s difficult to understand those breeders).

Tatum revealed the details in an interview with GQ, which revolved around a bet where Hill told him, “I will kiss your tip! I will kiss the tip of your dick through your underwear if we make $35 million [on 21 Jump Street’s US opening weekend].”

“I haven’t made him do it yet,” Tatum says. “For obvious reasons. That’s a bad bet to lose—it’s not too good to win, either. But definitely the shame of it would be enjoyable. It’s my trump card, for sure. He tries not to bring it up at all costs. Unless he did something horrible to me, I don’t know if I could ever cash it in. It would change our relationship forever.”

He adds though, “Maybe on a drunk night when we’re all being crazy and hopefully, knock on wood, Jump Street 2 works out and people love it, maybe out of the elation of that event in our lives I might call in the bet. Or I might make him double or nothing.”

We’ll take that bet!

La Bare Red Band Trailer – Fresh look at Joe Manganiello’s male stripper documentary

May 20, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After Magic Mike Joe Manganiello decided he liked male strippers. Indeed he became so fascinated with their world that he’s made his directorial debut with a documentary about them.

We previously had a tease of the film and now we’ve got a red band trailer to get us all hot under the collar.

Manganiello said of the film at its Slamdance premiere, “I had zero interest in male stripping prior to Magic Mike. As a straight male, I had a lot of misperceptions about the industry. People would walk out of Magic Mike saying ’I loved it but I wish there was more of the guys. I wish I knew more about them, where they live, who they go out with, what their lives are like.’ So I knew there was a lot left on the table.”

However in a new interview with Vulture, he talks about how La Bare has had a few issues, ‘I can’t express to you how many times I’ve heard, “We’ve seen it all.” “There’s nothing new.” “Everything is recycled.” “Nothing is shocking.” Blah, blah, blah … But I guess I just never really paid attention to the chatter until I made my first feature film.

‘Soon after filming, there were the bands that had pulled their songs from the film despite the protests of their record label, the ban of our art/posters on bus stops and billboards due to it being too risqué … And then came the wait for the MPAA rating … And with that, the realization that I indeed had found something new, something fresh, something shocking to show the general public.

‘With La Bare, I had somehow sailed my way into uncharted waters and stumbled upon an island not recorded on any map … the completely misunderstood world of male entertainment.

‘With Magic Mike, we scratched the surface, and with La Bare, I had the opportunity to plumb the depths of this strange and provocative world hidden in plain sight.’

The movie has a US debut set for June 27th. [Read more…]

Batman & Superman Get Gay For One Another In A Funny New Parody Trailer

May 17, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

At the moment DC’s big 2016 superhero mash-up is going by the title Batman Vs. Superman, but in this funny new video from French YouTube comedy channel It’s Big!, it’s more like Batman ♥ Superman.

Yep Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne aren’t just hiding their superhero alter-egos, they’re hiding the fact they’re big old gays, and after they meet it’s going to be difficult for them to hold their feelings for one another inside!

And it’s not just those two either, as Robin’s a great big ‘mo too!

Let’s hope Zack Snyder is taking notes. And if Joss Whedon wants Thor, Iron Man, Hawkeye and Captain America to get a bit drunk and explore their sexuality in Avengers: Age Of Ultron, we wouldn’t complain about that either. [Read more…]

Andrew Garfield Explores Gender Identity In Full Arcade Fire Video

May 17, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A couple of weeks ago a short clip from the Arcade Video popped up online, which gained a lot of interest as it featured Spider-man himself – Andrew Garfield – exploring gender identity by donning female clothing and wandering around Coachella.

Now the full video for the Canadian indie rockers tune, We Exist, has arrived, which you can watch above. While it’s previously been said that the actual song is about a gay kid talking to his dad, the video ‘follows the story of a young person’s struggle with gender identity.’

Although they are two separate issues, they both share the difficulty of trying to work out who you are and how other will react to you – in this case and young person venturing out as a woman when the world knows them as a man.

It’s a great looking video whatever it’s about, so take a look above. [Read more…]

Apropos Of Nothing: Andrew Christian Gets A Little Arty & Very Sexy With Black/White

May 13, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Many recent Andrew Christian videos haven’t quite up to the quality of some of their earlier efforts – partly because of their obsession with twerking and also that they’d stopped even pretending they weren’t softcore porn.

However Black/White marks a bit of a shift, with an arty, almost experimental movie look, and a tone that slows things down and ramps up the sexiness massively. (It’s still pretty sortcore, but kindly allows you to feel it isn’t)

Some of it’s a bit weird and random, but it’s very hot while being odd! Hopefully it will make AC realise you can be very sexy without completely relying on finding ways to make guys packages wobble.

Personally I’ll take this over twerking twinks any day. You can take a look at other Andrew Christian videos here. [Read more…]

Men Take On Classic Female Movie Roles To Show How The Male Gaze Works In Cinema

May 13, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Those interested in film theory will know there’s often talk of most film being shot from a male point of view, but it’s sometimes difficult to truly understand how far that extends (except with extreme examples such as the way Michael Bay shoots women) as it’s so common it just seems to be the way things are.

That’s what’s so interesting about this new video Buzzfeed came up with, which swaps the male and female roles around in movies such as Wild Things, Twilight, Basic Instinct and Titanic. It’s a great way to show how cinema views men and women differently in most situations, and how there’s a presumption of a straight male viewer.

That’s very true of Wild Things, where in the original a lesbian tryst is very blatantly presented as being for the voyeuristic pleasure of straight men, but you change it to two guys making out, and how we view both the men and the watching woman changes completely.

And while I’m sure straight guys might be a bit uncomfortable with the naked painting scene in Titanic with the guy in the nude – personally I’m all for it (and yes, I know that makes me a bad person).

Take a look above and see what you think. [Read more…]

Ansel Elgort & Nat Wolff Turn Fault In Our Stars A Little Bit Gay

May 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fault-in-our-stars-changed-poster1 There’s a lot of buzz for next month’s The Fault In Our Stars, based on John Green’s incredibly popular novel. However it seems that some people have been wondering what would happen if it was based around a romance between two guys – and that includes the film’s stars, Ansel Elgort and Nat Wolff.

The two actors recreated the pose from the movie’s poster, but replacing Shailene Woodley with Wolff. The pic was posted on Elgort’s and Green’s Instagram accounts. Elgort then managed to post a doctored version of the movies poster with the two guys getting up close and personal.

Click on the pics below to see larger versions of both the original and the rather more gay version.

The movie is about Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley), a teenager who joins a support group after being diagnosed with cancer. Hazel begins to fall for another cancer-stricken teenager, Augustus (Ansel Elgort), from her group. Sam Trammell and Laura Dern play Hazel’s father and mother, with Nat Wolff as Isaac, Augustus’ best friend.

If Hugh Jackman Could Go Back In Time, He’d Warn Himself Never To Wear Testicles On His Chin In Movie 43

May 7, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If you could go back in time and give yourself a warning, what would you choose to tell yourself? Well, it turns out for Hugh Jackman one experience in his career stands out above all others.

And it turns out that experience is the ensemble comedy Movie 43 – the star-studded series of comedy skits that turned out to be an astonishingly awful movie.

While promoting X-Men: Days Of Future Past, Jackman teamed up with Yahoo! to interview himself in 1999, and he has some advice on what his younger self should avoid – mainly that wearing testicles on your chin is funnier in theory than practice.

He says, “When they come to you with this great idea of putting testicles around your neck and being part of this hilarious group and ensemble of the funniest movies of all time [Movie 43], don’t believe them”

“You could take the testicles because you use them quite a lot at parties and dinner parties and bring them out, and it actually gets a good laugh, but the movie you could do without”

As for his best movie he says, “You’re going to do a movie with a guy called Chris Nolan, called The Prestige, which is going to be right up there, and another one which unfortunately not many people will see, called The Fountain, and that’s going to be a life-changing experience”

Take a look at Hugh interviewing himself above, and if you’re wondering whether we’re joking about the chin testicles, take a look at the pic from Movie 43 below (and believe me, while it looks pretty funny as an still image, as a movie it’s an abomination). [Read more…]
