If ever there was a show that lived up to accusations of gay-baiting, it’s Teen Wolf. However even that show has never gone as far as to get two guys in bed together when one of them is in full werewolf mode.
Animator Karina Farek has though, with Dirty Paws, her amusing thesis film for SVA bfa animation.
At first it’s not clear why one man is tieing up his boyfriend (and not in a kinky way), but once the full moon is out, it becomes clear that one of them is a lyncanthrope. However, the duo have learned how to deal with that once a month.
It all seems to be going well until the werewolf runs off and his boyfriend has to find him. Take a look at the animated short below, along with a blooper reel.

Most people agree that film has a tendency to objectify women. So what’s the answer to this to bring about equality? Do we cover the ladies up, or do we disrobe the gents more, so at least everyone is being objectified?
It’s certainly worth making a new movie about the Stonewall riots, as while most people have heard of them, even many gay people have no idea what actually happened, beyond the fact it’s the place where the modern gay rights fight is said to have started.
There have been rumours of trouble surrounding the production of the reboot of Fantastic Four, which has led some to write it off already. However reports from a couple of preview screenings have been pretty good, and it may end up surprising even the studio (which seems uncertain about the film).
In the past the ‘sissy’ was virtually the only representation of queer male sexuality that ever made it to the screen, and even then from the 1910s to 1950s the idea that they preferred boys to girls had to be hidden. The result was a complex stereotype, that in some movies was a comic character audiences loved to laugh at (and in some cases laugh with), and in others was a dangerous, destructive force out to destroy the ‘normal’ people.
We’ve come a long way in regards to the depiction of LGBT characters on the screen, but despite the success of Brokeback Mountain and a couple of gay-related movies making waves each year, it’s still extremely difficult to fund films where sexuality is the core of the story.
Ever since it began on TV, Arrow has had a large gay fanbase. It’s something it hasn’t been afraid to play-on, with bucket loads of shirtlessness, teasingly homoerotic responses in interviews and an attitude that has seen some accuse it of gay-baiting. However, there hasn’t actually been a vast amount of LGBT characters and activity on the screen (indeed the first season of The Flash had more than three seasons of Arrow).
Goku, Earth’s greatest champion, bravely defends humanity against an invading race of warriors known as the Saiyans. When the mighty hero falls, his young son Gohan rises up to face the very villains who murdered his father. The battle rages through space to Planet Namek, where Gohan and his overmatched allies risk their lives to defeat the Saiyan warlord Vegeta – and the monster known as Frieza!
The trailer for Deadpool should arrive tomorrow, but ahead of that he’s got a message for us, which seems designed to show that this will be a far more irreverent, sarcastic superhero movie, that sticks far closer to the tone of the character in the comics than how he was in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Robert De Niro is looking for a bit of a career change, or at least he is in The Intern, in which he stars opposite Anne Hathaway, Nat Wolff, Adam Devine, Rene Russo and Andrew Rannells.
