Yeah, guys, you do quote a lot from females.
The movie I found myself quoting from is “Boomerang.” Yes, the Eddie Murphy/Robin Givens/Halie Berry…etc. film. One that just slips out is from Grace Jones when she said to Eddie “You’re not gay, you (just) don’t know how to fuck me!” When I deal with a foot fetisher, the Martin Lawrence line comes in mind: “You don’t fuck her feet, DAMN!”
BTW, this film has a lot of camp going on for it. C’mon, Grace Jones and Eartha Kitt! Not to mention the classic mysogony of John Witherspoon (“You don’t have to be pussy whipped. (Just) whip that pussy! BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG…”).
There’s other films, too, that I find myself quoting, but…seriously…we all do. And, mainly, it’s lines from females…and the occasional Arnold Schawrtzenegger line.
Movies every gay man should see
1.Urbania: This movie changed my life!
2.The Celluloid Closet: A fun way to learn your gay history.
3.Edge of Seventeen: So you don’t forget what it was like at that age.
4.But I’m A Cheerleader: For camp factor, and see #3 for explanation.
5.Red Dirt: For that Tennessee Williams feeling and Karen Black.
6.Spring Forward: For that other kind of older daddy male bonding.
7.All Over The Guy: All star cast, wickedly funny, and Richard Ruccolo getting a BJ!
8.Tigerland: More male bonding and for Colin Farrell’s ass!
9.Run Ronnie Run: aka The Mr. Show Movie
10.Bully: To see what oppressed homosexuality can do to a person.
I think you guys mentioned this, but you know that Amy Adams was in ‘Drop Dead Gorgeous’?
I had no clue on most of the movies you guys were talkin’ about. I’ll have to remember to try and watch them when I get back stateside.
**Oh yeah, I get 2 weeks at the end of April
I play a game with a friend of mine. Use phrases from muscials in everyday life. The more obscure the more points you get. I got a toaster from the King and Queen of Gay!
