Comment Re: Marvel (Score 1) 92

Claude Rains and Peter Lorrie both played obviously homosexual men (Raines playing Renault in Casablanca and Lorrie playing Joel Cairo in The Maltese Falcon), telegraphed in such a way that it would make it past the Hayes Code. Heck, look at Johnny Guitar, with Joan Crawford playing as butch a character as you will find in the films.

But yeah, Some Like It Hot has so much straight and queer visual and dialogue innuendo running around it that it's absolutely nuts. When Tony Curtis's character blurts out in frustration "You’re a guy, and, why would a guy wanna marry a guy?”, Jack Lemmon's response is one of the great bits of movie dialogue "For the security!" Even the closing line, where Lemmon finally confesses he's a man, the response is "Nobody's perfect", which some regard as one of the great closing lines in cinema history.

Hollywood had to handle things carefully back in the day, and Wilder just as much as Hitchcock was a director who had a bag of tricks to foil the Hayes Code, so sometimes I actually wonder how Some Like It Hot ever got made. But this is the guy that directed The Apartment, so Wilder had a talent for getting blatantly sexual content past the censors.

His doctor claimed he had a hole in his ear the size of a fucking penny

No, he didn't. You made that up all by yourself. How do I know this?

By being a spectacular dumbfuck who cannot use google, and who then calls me a liar because you cannot find a citation trivially located by anyone with even a weak pulse and two brain cells to bash against each other? Only one person got shot at that rally, and it was not Donald Jehoshaphat Trump.

I don't have a bsky account which is labeled as required to see that post so I have no idea what you're talking about.

Which word did you find confusing? I quoted literally the entire post for you, so that you could read it even without an account, so why are you complaining about not having an account? If your mainstream news sources are so great, why don't you know about an interview that's being widely discussed in multiple forms of media?

So far I've watched multiple face eating leopards devouring right wingers and I have yet to see a single one actually have a moment of clarity.

I've seen a few, but you do have to keep some things in mind.

First, people in general don't like to admit they fucked up. We still have shitpiles of dumbfucks who refused to vote for Harris because she didn't promise to end Zionist genocide when Trump was actively saying "I want Netanyahu to hurry up and finish the job". So this is not in any way a partisan failing, most people are defensive to the point of abject idiocy.

Second, if they were smart, they wouldn't have voted for Trump to begin with. He has a well-publicized history of being a liar, as in, it's not even up for debate. We know conclusively that he has lied many, many times. But they are not capable of understanding that liars lie, and then they lie again.

The Republican party was best summed up by a woman who said "he's not hurting the people he's supposed to be hurting"

Yeah, that brings us to point three, they want people hurt. That's why they voted for Trump, because he said he would do bad things to people they think are bad, and they specifically wanted that. Harris said she would help people, and they were like, what kind of commie pinko shit is that? Then they went to church. Then they went out to brunch and treated the servers like shit.
