The more you know…?
A recent SiriusXM radio interview revealed 31-year-old actor Armie Hammer had some trouble maneuvering his manly business around a pair of short shorts while filming Call Me By Your Name.
“There was a few times where they had to go back and digitally remove my balls from the movie,” he tells Andy Cohen.

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.
“They were short shorts. What’re you gonna do?”
“Short shorts and big balls, that’s what you’re saying?” Andy taunted.
“Oh, my mom’s going to love listening to this interview,” Armie said, and then quipped that footage of his balls wound up elsewhere in the movie:
“If you look carefully at all the trees, it’s not all peaches.”

The hype surrounding this movie is beginning to take on a “Cobra Killer, Stonewall” type atmosphere. And we all remember what dudes those two were.

I was going to rush out and see this movie but have decided to wait to stream it later. Even though it’s probably beautifully filmed and acted and has great music, I hear the sex scenes are hetero (both male characters love vaginas)/women and the man/fruit sex scene. There aren’t any male on male sex scenes worth mentioning. It really is a movie about 2 jewish bi guys. I couldn’t finish the book. And maybe for the best…..no spoilers.

Staying away and not supporting gay-themed films is damaging to the community, since it doesn’t support the box office bottom line, which is crucial when studios are considering whether to green light other similar projects of this nature. If you’re in NY or LA, and you have a chance, I would suggest you go. Thanks.

I agree with you 100%. This film and it’s creators will not be getting my money.

Really loved this film. Everything went to perfection as a slow, subtle romance and coming of age story. Poignant, worth every moment! Go see it everyone! Forget these straight trolls who also won’t finish a book because the main characters are Jewish! They have their own sad karma to live inside of.

@pabloinla [Sorry for the text wall in advance] Just because someone doesn’t agree with you or like the things that you like doesn’t make them trolls. At least I know that I’m not. I’m a proud 34-year-old gay black man living in NYC. I read “Call Me By Your Name.” All of it. I wanted to stop reading it but I’m the type to finish a book once I start it. I hated it for many many reasons. One of them being I was told this book was a gay love story. It’s not. It’s a love story between two bi men. And a bi love story is perfectly fine, but if I’m expecting a novel about two gay men I want to read about two gay men. You know what, give me at least one gay if not two. Now as far as this movie, I would be more apt to see it if the leads cast were bisexual men instead of straight men waiting to get their accolades. And what really pisses me off is “all ‘gay’ sex takes place off screen—only boy-girl or boy-fruit sex happens within the frame. And the only openly gay characters—a pair of “boyfriend twin-ed” academics who visit Elio’s parents for dinner—are portrayed as ridiculous Tweedledum-and-Tweedledee types.” [quote taken from Slate]. A gay director decided that was ok. I’m sorry, but, no, for me, it’s not and I’m not giving it my money. But to anyone who doesn’t care about all that, go and see it. To each his own.

Lol, dump on a movie you haven’t seen. Tired of bitter old queens with chips on their shoulder.

So first he refuses to do a nude scene, and now we can’t even see his balls? This is getting ridiculously lame.

More double standards. Girls can always show cleavage but boys can never show baggage, even by mistake.
Greg
That’s not a double standard. Tits are different than balls. The double standard would be guys can show their chests and nipples, but women cannot.

It all depends on the producers and the actors. In France many actors get their kit off regularly, There were lots of a naked Gaspard Ulliel in his Saint Laurent movie, and Michael Fassbender has never had aroblem getting naked and waving it all about for the cameras. But then both these gentlemen were near the front of the line when they were handing out the equipment. Most men are worried about what people will say, and don’t want conversations in which they have to say « it was a cold day when that was filmed » 🙂
