Thereās life in the old dog yet! (Just not when it comes to hardcore gay porn scenes.)
In the weeks before the premiere of HBOās Behind theĀ Candelabraāeasily the gayest major film of 2013āMichael Douglas and Matt Damon have left nothing to the imagination when it comes to chatting about their gay love scenes.
Earlier this week, Douglas told USA Today about the filmās steamy love sessions between Liberace and Scott Thorson, admitting a close shave was all the preparation he needed. āI didnāt want any whisker burns on the poor guy,ā he said.
Though Douglas and Damon were both down with the R-rated lovemaking, Douglas tells New York Magazine that he drew the decency line at penises.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
He continued:
āLiberace loved sex, and I didnāt have a problem with that. But, at one point, Steven Soderbergh wanted to show Lee watching a gay porno. I said āIād like my kids to see this R-rated movie, but I donāt want to show them a 14-inch dick!ā It was the only thing I objected to, so we cut to different parts of the apartment during the porno.ā
We understand the importance of shielding the childrenās eyes, but come on, Michael. Everyone else watching the film is definitely going to want to see that 14-incher!
And because thereās no such thing as seeing this trailerĀ too manyĀ timesā¦..

Casting unknowns or lesser knowns would have been better IMO. Douglass and Damon look like Douglass and Damon in costumes and makeup.
Although Damon is still pretty cute, Douglass has I think, ruined himself with too much plastic surgery.

Seriously I don’t want to see Michael’s penis or nakedness for that matter. I prefer the classier films of yesteryear when you didn’t have to have a naked wang or boobs to make scene sexy.
Btw. I think Michael has nailed Liberace. (Not sexually!). Matt just looks like Matt in a gay costume. š

@Teleny: The reason Matt looks like Matt in a gay costume is because he is over 40 and playing a 17 year old. It’s ridiculous casting.

How come it’s always peen that’s getting the ax?
Err Maybe I should rephrase that…

Typical. Penis–especially gay–is a big no for straight liberals. But violence, naked women, and any other kind of degradation is just fine.

Nudity is not progress, it is not art, it is not daring, it is not modern, it is nudity. That’s all. I don’t see any reason to turn every movie into a locker room. Some of us are not voyeurs.

@Homophile: You’re right, Matt is still pretty cute!

I wonder if Douglas would object to children seeing a vagina and breasts in straight porn?

That portrait of Douglas as Lee looks more like Douglas as Agnes Moorehead. You get what you pay for and that, my friend, is one cheap prop.

Thanks, but we didn’t want to see it anyway.
