Protocol Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 1 hour ago, slik said: Will never forgive him for ruining every AHS scene he was in. He yells and yells and yells and is so cringe. The trailers made this look like a film for rich white gays over 50. Now Billy is acting a Karen because the entire country didn't fawn over him. It kind of is lol. At one point in the movie one of the guys has a radical career change and this is while living in what looks like a very nice 2 bedroom apartment in Manhattan and it's just like I get there are people who are actually like that but they also try to pass him off as the son of an elementary school teacher from a small town. Like sis, no one without serious family money is quitting their job to start a side hustle business while they keep a big apartment in Manhattan in 2022.

NausAllien Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 The BLATANT HOMOPHOBIA in this thread... Mods do something for the love of God... OT: Billy is right. Straight people, even so-called "allies," didn't show up for the movie. That's why we can't ever rely on straight people for anything. They pretend to be our allies but we should know better.

Cain Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I’m really over the the popper’d scene being the background of ‘ACTUALLY GAY!!’ stories. It’s like, yeah, that’s a section of the community but it’s by far not everyone, and that’s not what ~authentically queer is like (as there is no such thing). Also it’s so extremely focused on cis men still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bey'Knight Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 5 hours ago, hurricane326 said: The film is bad because it's nothing but stereotype after cliche after sex joke. Brokeback Mountain was a completely new take in gay cinema, and Love, Simon and Call Me By Your Name were heartfelt stories that garnered relatability. Oh you mean the film starring two straight white men who hook up then get married to two white women and the repressed unrequited affection of one ends in his death? Yes, that’s never been done before. Gays are used HEA endings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Togekiss Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I saw the trailer at the cinema today and yikes the jokes were dry and the plot looked lame. I would only watch it for Billy's love interest since he is hot. Billy is also looking kinda good ngl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepfon Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 Quote Bros,” the first gay romantic comedy from a major studio, arrived to an estimated $4.8 million in ticket sales in the United States and Canada, about 40 percent less than the low end of prerelease analyst expectations. Universal Pictures booked “Bros” onto 3,350 screens and spent an estimated $30 million to $40 million to promote it. “Bros,” starring Luke Macfarlane and Billy Eichner, who also co-wrote the script, cost roughly $22 million to make. It received mostly positive reviews. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/02/movies/bros-smile-box-office.html I- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jynx Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Billy can't accept the fact that nobody not even the gays, wanted to see his vanity project of a film. A box office bomb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NausAllien Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I haven't watched the movie (I may watch it later when it's released on streaming services), but reading the comments here, I can't say I'm surprised some people found it clichéd and uninspired. I'm also not suprised it perpetuates harmful stereotypes. I mean, Billy WROTE the screenplay. He's a single man in his 40s who's all the time hooking up with guys on dating apps. For people like Billy, being gay isn't simply a part of who you are, or whom you're attracted to, but a lifestyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just isn’t clicking, I saw the trailer in the cinema and remember not being impressed with it. brokeback mountain is the only real hit from your list. neither moonlight nor call me by your name were box office successes, the latter didn't even cross $18M in the US even with the oscars bump. the expectations around them were obviously different though as low budget indies. i guess love simon is the most comparable and it opened with $11M in a much much more favorable box office climate and a PG13 rating so i wouldn't really say it's performance was that stellar either. i haven't seen bros so i don't have an opinion on whether it deserved its poor performance or not, but the idea that gay-focused movies do well at the box office is just not true. billy is correct in the sense that these movies can succeed with niche audiences but they don't cross over.

Dark Phoenix Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) The trailer ir cringy and there’s no A-list, he’s not that well known or big as he thinks and this is a loser take. I will be going to watch it but it gets released here in Mexico until Oct 26th. Edited October 3, 2022 by Dark Phoenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
