Oz ,'Him'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I accepted Danny Kaye,
With Laurence Olivier, no less.
I don't have to accept my Cary.
C'mon! They were roommates. I think at the height of their stardom they could probably both afford to live single if they wanted.
Now I want boucher's audiolink for "You'd do it for Randolph Scott!"
Oh, total lovers.
I accepted Danny Kaye, I don't have to accept my Cary.
Heh. I just realized the other day that, where I used to be somewhat disappointed to find out that one of my favorite actors was gay, these days I'm disappointed to find out that they're not!
Oh, total lovers.
LALALALALALALALALALALALA!
I had absolutely no issue finding out that occasionally, Judy Garland would take a woman lover. But thinking that the reason my Cary was trying to keep Rosalind Russell from marrying Ralph Bellamy so that HE could have him, upsets my teeny tiny little world.
Well, although Cary Grant may have been gay, Walter Burns definitely wasn't. And even if he was - he wouldn't have slept with Ralph Bellamy's character - he thought he was a schmuck.
To be fair, Cary was bisexual. He slept with plenty of women, and even bothered to produce a child.
Gable was a comic foil; Grant a comedian.
Anyway, it's an emotional thing. Clooney pings the Grant button for me, not the Gable; it's the amused, elegant detachment from the world.
Amused, elegant
Old, made an inappropriate joke.
Clooney pings the Gable button for me.
Cary Grant liking boys has been fairly well-known for as long as I can remember, and I've liked Cary Grant since before he was dead.
