lol Cruising is better than the following films:

The Fast and the Furious
The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight Rises
The Avengers
Spiderman anything
Captain America
The Incredible Hulk
The X-men
Prometheus
Transformers
Gladiator
Saving Private Ryan
All the Harry Potter movies
Crash (but not Crash)
The Silence of the Lambs
Aliens
Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan
Star Wars anything


So the other Star Trek movies are better?

I actually agree with this entire list. Those movies are all trash.

You know very well, or maybe you don't, that my point is, here is this Al Pacino movie where he is playing an undercover pseudo-i love you cop, and the film is very in your face with gay underground nightclub culture, which is invariably (and sadly) going to be reviled here by certain people; many unable to even watch due to their demented and bigoted upbringing, yet despite how awful it is (to them), here is a list of sacred cow movies which in my opinion, are all to a greater or lesser degree, worse than this movie they can't even watch because of how small their minds have grown and how pathetic their attitudes are.

i.e.

OP: Look at this faggoty i love you fruity i love you homo turd burgling gay i love you movie Al Pacino was in. I bet he wishes he never agreed to do that. AMIRITE?

BANDWAGON CLOSET i love you HOMOPHOBES: Fuck yeah that shit is gross! When I got to the fisting part I had to turn that shit off and go watch some MMA and look at pictures of titties to reassure myself of my manhood.

ME: You guys are so awesome at thinking for yourselves...


Of course this was all just a conjecture based on innumerable past threads of this variety. I could be wrong. Maybe everyone grew up? Oh wait, nope, comments...

Was that Bruno Kirby?

Yes it absolutely 100% without a doubt is Bruno Kirby, yet he is not credited for this film in IMDB, nor does his IMDB page list it as a film of his, and it appears as if there is something of an internet mystery over this.

and :thumbsup:, of course.
 
I watched this on Netflix. Only thing I really remember though is the reviews talking about how controversial or whatever and just shrugging as it was an ok movie.

haha yep, though I have to say I was surprised by a few people who replied, thought they were better than that.

Haha, indeed. 😀

Well he got the hair right.

I'm actually interested to see how the movie turns out. By all accounts the Kevorkian movie was decent and Spectre certainly is a character, so there should be some meat on that bone.

You got my curious Why :whiste:

When I worked for Time Warner they were putting a cable tap in his apartment, with the understanding we all had to leave before he arrives.

I was only there to make sure his computer was going to work with Roadrunner Internet service. I remember laughing because he had an old PowerPC 750, when the G3 had been out for months already. I couldn't understand how someone with so much money had such a shitty computer.

Long story short - he came home, pointed his finger and said get all these guys out of my house, now.

What are you talking about. Gay people were protesting this movie.


Throughout the summer of 1979, members of New York's gay community protested the production of the film. Gay people were urged to disrupt filming, and gay-owned businesses to bar the filmmakers from their premises. People attempted to interfere with shooting by pointing mirrors from rooftops to ruin lighting for scenes, blasting whistles and air horns near locations, and playing loud music. One thousand protesters marched through the East Village demanding the city withdraw support for the film.[9]

Well the important question then is why, because what you said is true, but it does not negate my point? My point is about bigotry, such as the bigotry that caused this thread to begin with, and has nothing to do with gays (at a time when gays in the US had a lot more to be afraid of) fearing the movie would portray them under an unfair light. Not all gays are into leather. In fact, most are not. Not all gays are drag queens, most are not. Not all gays are serial killers. In fact, I can't think of any. But gays at the time feared that this film would make those connections in the minds of the general public which was already plenty OK with discriminating against them.

Your straw man is on fire.
