Film What's So Gay About the New Fame Trailer*?
Posted by Alison Hallett on Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 2:33 PM
Erik Henriksen was just working on a post about the new Fame trailer, but I intervened when he asked me if it would be "okay to post it under the 'homo' category." (The original movie has a gay character, but I am 99.8% sure Erik didn't know that.) Unlike my esteemed colleague I'm not completely horrified by the prospect of watching this, and am actually looking forward to another big silly high school dance movie, although I would be remiss in not quoting Film Drunk's post:
And can we please stop glorifying performance arts high schools? Do you know anyone who knew exactly what they wanted to do with their lives at the age of 14? Or anytime before they were 20? I hate those people. When I was 14, my priorities were 1. Go through puberty 2. Touch a girl’s boob (preferably with her girl willing) 3. Foil a robbery, and 4. …Profit? The last thing the world needs is more people whose only skill is making art. They’re like a vast pool of disgruntled jazz-hands mercenaries.
