Reading what Eichner said was pretty offputting. There wasn\u2019t any need for him to shoot his mouth off. I\u2019d have much more respect if he\u2019d taken the opening weekend under performance like a man and simply moved on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lets face it, this movie is going to have limited appeal. That being said, the box office may have improved over the Columbus Day Holiday weekend had Eichner not sounded like such a spoiled brat.<\/p>\n
Now, I\u2019m thinking I\u2019ll wait for it to be on streaming services.<\/p>\n
It may well be funny, the trailer has some moments that look promising, but I\u2019m not sure that I can put up with catty board room scenes with a bunch of LGBT people sitting around sniping at each other. That is something that I\u2019ve personally had way too much of.<\/p>\n
From the trailer, this movie appears to be steeped in elitism. Not having seen the movie itself I could be wrong. But the trailer sure had that elite feel to it.<\/p>\n
There are other movies that are gay romantic comedies with more appeal to the average gay man.<\/p>\n
You know, the guy who worries if he\u2019ll be able to pay his electric bill. The guy who uses his phone with the cracked screen for a year or so, because it still works, and he doesn\u2019t have the cash to pony up $800 for a new one.<\/p>\n
Movies like:<\/p>\n
\nIn & Out
The Birdcage
If Dad Only Knew
4th Man Out
The 10 Year Plan<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nAll of which are worth watching. \u00a0The latter two have pretty relatable characters and tell a good story. Sure they\u2019re not mainstream but they\u2019re nice films.<\/p>\n
The thing is, not everyone is elite, not everyone can live in a beautiful apartment in New York, not everyone gets to sit in an office arguing over inconsequential trivialities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There are a lot of Gay and Bi men who do manual labor. They don\u2019t live in high-rises sometimes not even in a single bedroom apartment. The have calluses on their hands, they\u2019re pragmatic and don\u2019t hang out every night in bars with a $25 cover charge.<\/p>\n
Perhaps those same LGB people are a bit reticent to spend money at a theater to watch a bunch of elites bemoan their \u201chorrible\u201d lives. Maybe those Gay and Bi men are more content to buy a six pack, grab a good burger as a treat to themselves, and wait for Netflix to show the movie 6 months down the road.<\/p>\n
Maybe, they don\u2019t want to sit in a theater with a bunch of the LGBT community screeching and howling a a big screen. Maybe these guys have so little in common with the \u201cnormal\u201d LGBT people that they\u2019re uncomfortable in such a crowd.<\/p>\n
Maybe from a personal worth perspective these guys would rather go home, shower, and sit on their couch in a clean pair of boxers with their feet up while they wonder if they\u2019ll be able to put gas in their truck.<\/p>\n
I can say this, after hearing Billy Eichner whine about homophobia and straight people not seeing his movie I\u2019m less inclined to see it. That\u2019s a pity too, because I could really use a good laugh.<\/p>\n
Speaking of which maybe I\u2019ll queue up If Dad Only Knew. <\/i>There are some\u00a0pretty funny scenes.<\/p>\n
Mr Eichner, you really need to learn when it\u2019s time to keep your mouth shut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I have enjoyed Luke Macfarlane in other performances. I know nothing about Billy Eichner. Billy Eichner has apparently tweeted his dissatisfaction about Bros opening weekend box office. It apparently wasn\u2019t very good. Reading what Eichner said was pretty offputting. There wasn\u2019t any need for him to shoot his mouth off. I\u2019d have much more respect … <\/p>\n
