Scott...

... I tell you what... I will go and see the film this week.
If no one on the production saw how the imagery would be taken by.. well, by quite a lot of people, let's say, then I should have taken the job I was offered when I was in LA in 1991!
As for The Village People... well, I couldn't resist dropping that in...
But I think they satire and the reality of the eroticism are BOTH true.
Do you remember when gays suddenly seemed to all grow moustaches? Another adoption of an overly macho look.
Back in Britain, after skinheads took to "gay-bashing", gay men took to shaved heads, check shirts and Doc Martens boots.
As someone who has worked in promotion in the music business, been a designer and has written, I am maybe hyper sensitive to this kind of stuff, but 300 has gotten a lot more of this criticism than Sin City did and that had the same inflated machismo in many ways.
In my opinion, many military cultures (and given 6 months and a good advance I could write a book comparing Sparta with the USA) have this closet-gay-macho thing going on.
Also back then being gay wasn't much of an issue. Ancient Greeks even went for the old man young boy thing... but it's SInday (that was a genuine typo!!... really) morning and I still haven't eaten... BREAKFAST, I mean!
