I say that Rent, being a musical, is not really mainstream; the primary genre is Musical, not Gay.

[godai.livejournal.com]

Musicals have sort of become mainstream lately though.

Mulon rouge.
Rent.
Chicago.
The producers (The movie based on a musical based on a movie about a musical.)
(Yay Mel Brooks)
Along with all the disney movies. Almost all of the recent animated disneys movies can be called musicals.

About the only thing I think stopping musicals from being mainstream is a large release movie that parodies musicals. (Nothing has been recently to my knowledge that would fit.)


As for the gayness of rent. Gay main characters, largely gay issue (Aids) even though a point of the movie is that it isn't just a gay problem.

So while I don't think it is Gay in of itself it has a gay side that it is touch with.


And just because....

A gay guy gradualy grew greatly gayer granting grandmas gayly garnished gifts.

HAH
Say that 5 times fast.

Sorry sleep dep....

IS GAY!

*pats the straight gayboy*

I said it over there and I'll say it over here: it breaks the brain more if you say that 5 times fast while imagining a garlanded Tom Cruise.

It does look like the market is right for a massive parody film, doesn't it. Makes you wonder what it'll be.

I mean The producers come very close.

I've lately had

"Its sprintime for Hitler, and Ger-man-YYyyyyyy" just sorta run through my head as a meme sorta deal.

While it is a parody its not exactly what I was refering to.
Actually it would be more a satire right?

Again with the sleep dep. 8:41 and i probably got 2 hours ofnapping. and that was unintentional.

[azurelunatic]

You neeeeeeed sleep, dude.

That I can't see Tom Cruise without wanting to do things to him does not mean that it is louder than expliciting the things on the screen.

[azurelunatic]

Now I'm curious about what, exactly, "things" means in this context. ;)

[thette.livejournal.com]

I understand that desire. I sometimes get something like that. Only not sexual.

[juuro.livejournal.com]

Well, you know me. Even though our motivations might differ, we might agree on the techniques.

[azurelunatic]

Especially recently?

Tom Cruise = Stabbity-stab-stab.

Brokeback Mountain is being advertised on billboards and the side of buses, which makes it 'mainstream' to me.

Rent wasn't, IIRC. (Did it even get released here?)

[azurelunatic]

Rent was advertised on the sides of buses here, IIRC.

Thank you so much, I now have an image of Tom Cruise taking it from Orlando Bloom or someone and instead of "Yes!" he's shouting "Gay!"

[azurelunatic]

Oh, speeeeeeaking of t3h ghey, I saw you saw those photos. You know. Goblin King. I am extremely disturbed because he is my COUSIN damn it, and I would love to perv, but that would be most unwise, because, hello, RELATED.

But you may feel free to do all my perving for me.
