I heard the real names for these were Bob and Neal?

Or was it neal and Bob?

anyhoo....some super heroes should know when to call it quits

[Dis]

he did call it quits, he went into politics. That's the place where all rejects who can't make a real living go into.

Back on topic, it's just come out (pun intended) that the movie studio forced Brandon Routh to take down his MySpace page and refuse to talk about his sexuality in interviews, at least for the duration of this movie. On his MySpace page he identified his sexuality as gay and in his blog he talked about boyfriends, etc.

It seems the studio really is scared that "regular folk" would not see the movie given how much "gay" press it's getting, and how the star and the director are both gay as well...

I wonder why they would try to cover up something so inconsequential, especially when Singer has been openly gay for quite some time.

Also, what's your source for this information?

If true, that's bad. Bad in the make me angry kind of way.

[Asher]

I don't think there's anything definitive. Archive.org doesn't archive myspace profiles. There are a lot of people online that vouch for seeing the profile "before he was famous" as the next superman. For instance, he had a big following on http://dreamcaps.org (warning, content maybe NSFW) before he was famous (after he was a guest star on "Will and Grace").

What's even more confusing is he now has a "girlfriend" that does all of his PR with him.

[Japher]

it's all gay propoganda... just like a homo to think other ppl are gay w/o proof.

[Lorizael]

Ugh. That sorta thing used to happen in the fifties, but I didn't think we'd still be dealing with that today. Real shame if true.

[Asher]

There's jucier rumours, too.

Brokeback Krypton

clarkkent.jpgThere are superheroes that forever have given off a faint whiff of the gay, particularly middle aged, single men who adopt young wards, and then there is Superman–as red-blooded, American male and heterosexual as you can get (in blue spandex and calf-high red boots). So when openly gay Superman remake director Bryan Singer, who has a not-so-secret penchant for handsome, younger boys, hired square-jawed nobody Brandon Routh to play his Man of Steel, many a Kryptopurist eyebrow was raised and the rumors starting flying: could a Hollywood director have–gasp!–actually hired someone he wanted to bone? It simply isn't done! Today, Radar fans the fanboy flamer flames:

Of course, if Singer cast an object of his desire in a role, it wouldn’t be the first time. According to Alex Burton, the unknown who played the Human Torch Pyro in Singer’s first X-Men blockbuster, he was given the part after a hot-tub session with the director at a Hollywood party. “Bryan created that role especially for me,” says Burton, who went on to act in exactly zero films post-X-Men.

We must say, that must have been some jacuzzi line reading for the director to go so far as to pluck a character out of another comic book entirely.* The official word on Routh's casting however, from an Entertainment Weekly article from earlier this year, places their first meeting at a very public and unsudsy Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. "He stood up — and up, and up, and up," the director explained. "I said, 'Okay...'" Clearly, it was not couch-casting antics but Routh's freakish natural ability to fly that won him the role.

So gay people liking Superman will create negative box office?

I'm sorry...this is one of the most absurd articles I've read in a while.

And I read the Drudge Report.
