Inden den ventede “Superman Returns” har fået premiere, har der været en del Internet-spekulationer om hvorvidt den kommende film skulle have homoseksuelle undertoner – ikke mindst set i lyset af at filmens instruktør, Bryan Singer, er åben omkring sin egen homoseksualitet.
For nylig har avisen The Los Angeles Times så sat debatten på avisforsiderne, ved at trykke en artikel med overskriften ”Hvor homoseksuel er Superman?”, der kigger nærmere på Internet-hypen. Net-bloggers har bl.a. bidt mærke i at filmens instruktør er bøsse, dragten og plakaterne er bøssede, og at Superman selv må være bøsse. I samme stil blev der i forbindelse med Singers “X-Men”-film spekuleret i om mutanterne var metaforer for homoseksuelle.
Singer mener dog ikke at alt virvaret er skadelig for filmens potentiale succes.
”Nej. [Superman] burde været på coveret til ethvert magasin. Hver gang man har en fyr som ser virkelig godt ud og har stramme bukser på, vil man opleve [bøsse-debatten]. Jeg fortæller altid folk, at hvis de ser på alle mine film, så er “Superman Returns” sandsynligvis den mest heteroseksuelle film jeg nogensinde har lavet.”
“Superman Returns” flyver – måske? – ud af skabet og ind på de hvide lærreder 4. august.

Men ja det er irriterende at mange bøsser gør det en dyd at gøre opmærksom på netop dette faktum, som om det er noget specielt, eller unikt.

But, for the love of all the ones and zeros in cyberspace, can't people see that we have more pressing matters at hand here? Like how Native Americans are shit on, how African Americans are still treated more or less like crap. And how homeless people and dying children across the globe still is the most important matter to discuss... Yet, we have the Hollywood elite spending time and money on a matter that is simply ridicules... How much more attention do these attention whores need?
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind Gay people... Those who love each other, I mean really love each other, don't care about these things... All they want is the same rights as other people. In this case, I am thinking when one dies what happens then... And that has something to do with the system and nothing else... BUT LEAVE US OUT OF IT!!!!
Why have Brokeback mountain? Why have tons of movies made about Gays and lesbians and transsexuals and what ever else there is out there? Do we really need this? I'd rather know why my world is so messed up! I want to know why we still don't have hybrid cars on every corner, I want to know, if we really landed on the moon... Stuff like that... I don't want to know about GAYS! It is always some lame news about some gay guy getting out of the closet!! WHO CARES!!! We don't hear about new inventions and stuff that matters...
Let me ask you, how many of you know what a Tweel is? And Googling it does not count...
You know at the end of the day and a long discussion it is two guys doing each other in a ass hole... (That is the general publics opinion) And to some extent it is true... IT is never about how they love each other, it is always about sex, cause that is what our society moans about every second... So there... Is it fair? No... But neither is it, fair to hear about it constantly...
So what if they are Gay... Are they some kind of new super human race??
People, say, Hollywood is trying hard not to be stereotypical... Yet, they constantly do the same stories over and over and over again... Gays, suffer, Gays are fun and great to be around, Blacks are from the hood, and they have it tough, Kids live in broken marriages, dating is hell, but there is always a movie that works in the minds of women, regardless of how irrational and unrealistic it is... And the list continues...
Do we need anymore?
And the company asked Bryan to tone down the pretty boy scenes cause they thought it was too soft and borderline gay... Hmmm, but we don't hear about that do we... Just how hard it is for poor old Bryan who is an adoptive Jew and a fag...
Boohoo... People have it worse than that... and then they die in misery...
Go cry me a river Bryan!

Bryan Singer har jeg heller aldrig hørt skildre åbenlyst med sin seksualitet, selv om han ikke skjuler den.
Og som Akerman skriver er det kun rygter at Kevin Spacey skulle være bøsse - rygter der opstod da han ikke gad svare på en journalists spørgsmål om han var bøsse...

Fair nok du ikke er enig. Men det er da ikke noget sludder overhovedet. Det er jo bare en mening. Jeg synes nu Singers seksualitet er dukket rigeligt op omkring X2 og Superman. Fra mandens egen mund vel at mærke. Ikke specielt fra mediernes side. Jo måske div kulørte blade, men ikke fra seriøse film magasiner. Det er ihvertfald ikke min forståelse. McKellen er ligledes ret så ivrig for at tale om bøssernes rettigheder osv, istedet for at at promovere den film han egentlig skal promovere. Han kom da med nogle ret så lamme udtalelser i det seneste Empire eller Totalt Film iterview. Det er altså ikke sådan at han er blevet først bag lyset af en eller anden snedig journalist.
Jeg mener at have læst flere steder at Spacey er bøsse, men jeg kan da muligvis være fejlinformeret. Det er sikkert ikke første gang at det er sket:-)

I happen to like Ian McKellen a lot, he is an awesome person, but, Bryan steps over the line with his regurgitating "Oh by the way I'm gay..." talk...
Did you know that Scientology said to Tom Cruise that they can cure people who are gay? Hmmm, what a sales pitch... And did you also know that Tom Cruise and Nichole Kidman, were never married?
And Kevin Spacey, seems gay but he is still a cool actor and he keeps to him self and does not shout about it...
And gi-jones, yes, Bryan WANTS to be known as the gay director... Ironic he chose to make Superman so gay and got away with it...

But that isn't the reality... And we don't see the media from there... He is quite the attention whore and yes, he is on all the important channels to promote his gayness... So... He is in fact making a statement...
But then, just cause the tweel was invented, and it is actually a new thing that might change the world a little bit, and just cause we didn't hear about it... does not mean it does not exist...
It does... Yet, almost no one knows about it...
