OK, so there are no Brokeback Mountains opening at a theater near you. And, yes, there are some notable truly queer flicks hitting screens (Another Gay Movie, The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green). But were looking a little deeper into big summer blockbusters to uncover their severely queer quotient.
7) Miami Vice
Is it us, or is it getting humid in here? With Colin Farrell filling Don Johnsons white blazer (just kidding, they have updated the fashion) we are looking forward to whatever vice hes into. And Jamie Foxx aint no slouch either. (July 28)
6) Snakes on a Plane
Just because the title sounds like it could be a new Falcon release. (August 18)
5) Poseidon
Well, theres Richard Dreyfuss playing queer, for one. Since its on a sinking ship, we expect lots of wet clothing adhering to skin. And then there are all the jokes about going down weve been making. So it qualifies. (May 12)
4) The Devil Wears Prada
Any movie that uses Prada in the title automatically deserves a place on this list. With Meryl Streep starring as a tyrannical magazine editrix (who, everyone says, is not based on Vogues Anna Wintour) and gay fave Anne Hathaway as her hapless assistantnot to mention queer designer Patricia Fields costumeswe cant wait. (June 30)
3) Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest
A mans chest is always a good thing (although were not sure about the dead part). Between Johnny Depps Keith Richards impersonation (with a healthy dose of drag queen eyeliner to boot) and the ridiculously hot Orlando Bloom looking all swarthy, we cant wait. And Keira Knightley is cool too. (July 7)
2) X-Men: The Last Stand
We hear the premise of the flickthis time not helmed by Bryan Singeris about turning mutants like Halle Berry and Hugh Jackman (yeah, we always think of them as mutants) into normal people. Sounds a lot like the ex-gay movement to us. Throw in Ian McKellen and you have a big queer hit. (May 26)
1) Superman Returns
First off, the flick is being directed by Bryan Singer (who, we should note, has never said that hes gaybut we digress). Second, between the rumors of the super-sized codpiece and the mouthwatering morsel that is Brandon Routh, we are so in. Oh, and then theres Kevin Spacey. And were totally certain hes not gay. Right? (June 30)
