Saying the quiet part out loud. (h/t to @glennkenny.bsky.social#filmsky 📽️

from Jeffrey Wells: Down With “Gladiator II” With One Condition I’ll be okay with Ridley Scott‘s Gladiator II as long as it avoids gay or trans characters, and of course sidesteps any depictions or suggestions of homoeroticism or, God forbid, full-on sodomy. No ancient hard-ons of any kind, in or out of the arena, and no ejaculations. As long as that’s understood, we’re good. Or I am, at least. I’m mentioning this because Scott is known for being receptive to story suggestions from his cast members, and because there’s a fair amount of pressure these days to include LGBTQ material or at least references to same in films, and because this sequel to Scott’s 24-year-old Gladiator costars Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal, both of whom played gay characters last year in Andrew Haigh‘s All Of Us Strangers and Pedro Almodovar‘s Strange Way of Life, respectively. I’m sorry but when I think of these guys I think…I don’t know what to think. But I can’t forget the cum droplets scene in All Of Us S

God forbid a gladiator movie should have homoerotic elements

The one time I met Jeffrey Wells in person, I said to him a Dixie Carter phrase so good it got used in both Filthy Rich and Designing Women. He is a chancre on film criticism.

Siri; give me a textbook example of the concept of "protesting too much".
