Gods and Monsters (1998) - Movie Trailer

Description:
A gardener, Clay Boone (Brendan Fraser), starts working on the yard of James Whale (Ian McKellen), hired by Whale's housekeeper Hanna (Lynn Redgrave). James is impressed by Clay and asks him to pose for him. Clay is reluctant at first and balks at taking his shirt off for James, but he does so. James begins sketching and the two begin talking about their lives and finding they have some things in common. At this time, James has been retired from Hollywood for at least a decade and for a year now has been suffering from strokes. He also suffers through reminiscences of World War I and the making of The Bride of Frankenstein. James is visited by a starstruck college student who wishes to interview him. James wants to talk about his childhood, his service in World War I, etc., but the young man only cares to hear about the Frankenstein films. James will only answer those questions if the young man will gradually undress. The interview is cut short when James faints and his housekeeper gives him a Luminal (phenobarbital) pill. Clay begins researching Whale's film career, and is impressed. At his favorite bar, Clay and his friends watch Bride of Frankenstein on TV. His friends laugh, his girlfriend is unimpressed but Clay is interested. His girlfriend speculates that James is just an old fruit pretending to be famous to get into Clay's pants. Hanna confirms that that Whale is homosexual. At first Clay declines James' offer for another sitting fee, but acquiesces and even talks a little bit about James' homosexuality with him. Clay also confirms that James knows he's straight. Clay storms off angrily when Whale resumes speaking graphically about the young gay men who've posed previously. Clay returns to work on the garden again and even pose, on the condition that Whale not speak that way again. James invites Clay to a royal party hosted by George Cukor, where the young man who interviewed James earlier has arranged a photo op for James together with Boris Karloff and Elsa Lanchester. However, James feels as out of place at the party as Clay does. It starts raining and the two return to James' residence, from which Hanna has taken the night off. James persuades Clay to pose for him again. He does so, even volunteering to pose nude. James takes the opportunity to put a gas mask on Clay and touch him. Predictably, Clay gets angry and attacks James. James confesses that this was his plan all along, to use Clay as his means of assisted suicide. Knowing this, Clay refuses to go along with it. Clay puts James to bed and sleeps downstairs. When Hanna returns the next morning, he tries to explain that it's not what it looks like, but Hanna can't find James in his bedroom, or anywhere in the house. Clay realizes what has happened, and dives into the pool and fishes James out, but he's dead. Hanna commands Clay to leave so he will not be questioned by the police after returning James' body to the pool. For the epilogue, the film skips ahead about roughly a decade. Clay has a son who enjoys watching Bride of Frankenstein on TV. Clay gives his son one of James's sketches for the Frankenstein monster. Clay's wife or girlfriend asks him to take out the trash. Clay does so and it starts raining, he returns to the house walking like the Frankenstein monster. Hollywood history comes to life in this tale of the last days of Frankenstein director James Whale, played by Ian McKellen (Richard III, Apt Pupil). Long forgotten by the studios, Whale has retired to pursue painting and a life of leisure. Gods and Monsters explores his final fascination with a handsome gardener, Clayton Boone, played by Brendan Fraser (Twilight of the Golds, George of the Jungle).

Eating Out (2004) - Movie Trailer
The fastest way to a girl's heart is through her gay best friend. Caleb (Scott Lunsford), a hunky poli-sci major fresh off a breakup with the aggressive Tiffany, is shocked when his gay roommate, Kyle (American Idol's Jim Verraros), lets him in on a little secret: Gay men can get any girl they want. Armed with this tasty tidbit of knowledge, Caleb agrees to a plan hatched by Kyle, and finds himself pretending to be gay to woo Gwen (Emily Stiles), a smart-mouthed cutie with a penchant for boys who like boys. Soon Caleb realizes his plan is not as simple as he first thought. . . . At Gwen's urging, he finds himself roped into "eating out" with her hunky roommate Marc (Desperate Housewives' Ryan Carnes)—who is, naturally, the object of Kyle's affection. Can Caleb find a way to reveal his true feelings for Gwen without hurting Marc, or will both he and Kyle be left out in the cold? Director: Q.

The Gayest scenes ever in a non-gay TV movie: Silence of the Heart (1984)
A few people (two actually) have called the title misleading or inaccurate. Well, if you disagree, give another non-gay TV movie that has even more homoerotic scenes. Don't forget, it has to be non-gay and MADE-FOR-TV. I'm a TV archivist (see my profile) so I'm always willing to learn. Although Silence of the Heart was a 1984 TV movie about teen suicide and guilt (see links at the bottom), these 3 excerpts make it seem like a after school special about being gay. The homoerotic undertones are unmistakable. In fact, they could have easily come from 80's gay porn, i.e. William Higgins classic videos. Not that I know anything about gay porn, mind you! ☺ As for the tight short shorts, they weren't particularly gay since all males wore such shorts in the 80's. If you saw those shorts today, however, they would likely be on a gay (or European?) man. First, notice the unnecessary homoeroticism in the opening gym scene. All set to The Pointer Sisters' "Jump" (whose music video featured scantily clad male athletes jumping). 0:38 - Talk about sexually provocative camera angles: A guy squatting with that metal thing in between his legs 1:00 - and this scene with Charlie Sheen spotting Chad Lowe could have easily come from gay porn 1:22 - another gratuitously homoerotic shot. Seriously, was it necessary to have Lowe's face beneath Sheen's crotch? And the camera aimed at Lowe's crotch? 1:33 - And wassup with that huge "PRIDE" on the wall? "Pride" is one of the most important words in gay activism. When was the last time you saw that in a mainstream gym? 1:42 - an unnecessary locker room scene means more gratuitous male semi-nudity 2:44 - And although we don't get a gym shower scene, they make up for it with this pool scene. Why the hell are the three guys begging Lowe to get in the pool? 3:03 - And when was the last time a straight teen strip teased for his straight male buddies? And damn, Lowe does it so well! 3:15 - you kids may not know this but in the 80's, guys wore briefs not boxers 3:34 - playing pool in a towel is kinda provocative, especially with that pole in the hand. Not to mention that your buddy was just dressing in front of you without any underwear (since it was soaked) 4:14 - "if you were gonna do it, would you tell anybody?" Although they're talking about suicide, the innuendos could have been about gay sex. Note how Lowe is looking down at Sheen's body In conclusion, I think the homoeroticism was no coincidence. The director or writers clearly had an agenda, whether intentional or unconscious. GAY CONNECTIONS/COINCIDENCES: - Chad Lowe later won an Emmy for his groundbreaking portrayal as a [straight] teen dying of AIDS - Lowe later starred in the gay movie, Floating - Chad Lowe is also the name of a gay porn star - Brother Rob Lowe has occasionally rumored to be gay - Ex-wife Hilary Swank won an Oscar for playing a transgender teen in Boys Don't Cry - Swank was a big supporter gay groups, and the couple was seen at many gay/AIDS events - Charlie Sheen's father is Martin Sheen, who starred as one half of a gay couple in the landmark 1972 (!!!) TV movie That Certain Summer. - Martin Sheen later starred as the homophobic father of a gay son in another landmark TV movie, Consenting Adult (1985). - Charlie Sheen currently stars in Two and a Half Men, which uses a lot of gay humor. Sheen's character's ex-sister-in-law is a lesbian and his mother dabbled in lesbianism ========= Links to description of the movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088115/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silence_of_the_Heart

Strakarnir Okkar / Eleven Men Out (2005) - Movie Trailer
Great Fun from the Toronto International Film Festival: 2005 Ottar Thor is the star player of the Icelandic football team KR (Reykjavík FC). He is a well liked player who causes a stir when he admits being gay to his team mates and then goes on a journey to discover himself (with the help of the local press). He soon finds himself on the bench for most of his team's matches and decides to call it quits with KR. He joins a small amateur team mainly made up of men like himself - gay guys trying to play soccer in a straight world. The director of KR, who happens to be Ottar Thor's dad, tries everything in his power to persuade Ottar to come back and play for his team, but the catch is that he needs to get himself back into the closet before playing pro football again. A struggle between father and son starts. Ottar Thor also has a son, a teenager that is not coping too well with all the attention his dad is getting, for all the wrong reasons. Ottar Thor finally gives into his father and returns to KR on the condition that KR plays one match against the gay team. His father accepts this condition, not realising that the match will take place on Gay Pride Day.
