>And one needn't have any baggage to see Xerxes as queeny. The performance/presentation/voice manipulation kind of speaks for itself. Not saying it was intended but I mean... come on.

"Queeny" is that the same as gay? We think we just disagree on this one. But hey, i'm a Bowie fan and never assumed he was gay by his theatrics. I think the baggage is there and comes with an either/or mind set. And perhaps we were quite naive in ignoring the fat that many people have such baggage. Well, no. I suppose we just didn't care. But no one I know at the time ever even raised an eyebrow. Maybe everyone was just more caught up in the transformation.

>By the way... nice work on the film... it is a visual feast.

Thank you. Much appreciated.

>I see you worked on the original Jackass. Do you know Lance Bangs and Spike J.? I do a lot of editing for each of them.

I don't know them personally. I was on Jackass only for one weekend for the old age makeups. I never felt it warrented credit. I have worked far more extensively on other films without getting credit like the first Pirates of the Caribean movie. I feel like I sold my soul when I worked on Jackass. Truth be told, the movie cracked me up. A very very very guilty pleasure.
