"As per frank Miller's designs""As one would find in just about any comic book."
My point wasn't about where the look came from just it's surprising to me that in creating, filming, editing and presenting that look it wasn't anticipated that some people would see it as homo-erotic.
I'm not one of those people but it's (very) easy to see why it could be perceived that way.
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.
By the way... nice work on the film... it is a visual feast. 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.

Not, however, any of my gay friends who saw it. Seems to me it's mostly str8 dudes who concern themselves with that dubious aspect.

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 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.
