tragedy
dear cary grant,
you're bisexual??? are you kidding me?
love,
kat
during last sunday's mother's day extravaganza i read parade magazine. and that's how i found out.
by reading parade-freaking-magazine.
i used to absolutely love "hello dolly" until i found out that barbra streisand and walter matthau hated each other.
same with "dirty dancing".
and now that i know rock hudson was gay i feel all awkward during the scenes when he's acting all seducey to doris day.
richard chamberlain's gay which kind of spoils the whole "prince charming" effect in "slipper and the rose".
and as much as i love "my fair lady", finding out that that's not really audrey hepburn's voice spoiled it for me.
i understand the miracle of acting. i get that people don't randomly burst into song, or have an innate profficiency in dance. i think i'm pretty good at suspending reality for the sake of cinematic entertainment.
but there's a line.
a line where i feel like i'm being lied to and i don't have to take it anymore and the movie is in essence ruined for me.
so, dear cary grant,
i know your real name is archibald leach.
i know you're not really british (or, you know, whatever nationality that weird accent is supposed to be from).
i know now about your live in lovers.
i'm just saying that "philadelphia story" is my favorite movie.
please don't take it away from me.
love,
kat

For me, it was when Rob Halford came out of the closet. I love Judas Priest, especially their PainKillers album, but now that the secret is out and I know that he is gay but I still think that their albums rock, I think that I'm a better fan of the Judas Priest.
Maybe the same thing can be applied in this scenario.
This comment relates because it does okay.
Same thing with Spider-Man.
So help me, if I find out that Patrick Stewart is gay or bi or anything else deviant . . .
They can't take that away from me. No, no, they can't take that away from me.
Yes, I've seen what evil, blaspheming flash developers have done with the 'Gay Spiderman dance' that is floating around the net. But that's not because Spiderman is Gay. Far from it. He married Mary Jane for crying out loud and they had a kid (although MJ did have a 'miscarriage', which may later be revealed as a child abduction) in Spectacluar Spiderman #220.
The point being, Spiderman is not gay!!!!!!
Yes it's true Audrey Hepburn's voice in "My Fair Lady" isn't hers. However in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" when she is on the balcony singing "Moonriver" that IS her voice...so there.
I heard somewhere that Tobey Maguire was gay. Chris agrees with me. Corey doesn't. So where did I hear it from? And if it's a dirty rotten lie, then where did it start?
Couldn't the same be true of Carey Grant? Not bisexual, just royally slandered? Hopefully so. Otherwise Kayla's compliment that I was like Carey Grant gives me the heebie-jeebies.
Let's not ever confuse the two !!!!
Check your sources.. here a quick bio http://imdb.com/name/nm0000026/bio
oh and he was British, until he became a naturalized citizen in the 60's.
People talk .. that is what they do. He never said he was bisexual or homosexual. He had friends who were men, even some that were gay and that makes him bi?
