THREE AT ONCE
Q: I'm going to observe my fourth trilogy of the lord of the rings today (extended version) and I was wondering if you had ever seen the trilogy? And if yes, how many times?
A: I have yet to watch any of the three films on DVD but would appreciate one day to see them one after the other where they most belong, on the big screen.
ELIJAH WOOD - GAY?
Q: My question is in regard to the LOTR commentary in which Ian McKellen states that both Elijah Wood and Sean Astin are two "resolutely heterosexual" actors. In glow of the unwavering rumors, why did Ian feel the need to react for Elijah? Isn't Elijah big enough to answer for himself? I for one would love to see Elijah FINALLY go on record and state once and for that he is heterosexual. I am sick of him "laughing" at us
Did any of the Fellowship of the Ring turn out to be gay?
I first came on to DL more than 15 years ago, with the "Lord of the Rings" movies were coming out, and this forum was overrun with fangurls convinced that many if not all of the actors who played hobbits were gay. They were so convinced that at one point several of them decided that Elijah Wood and Dominic Monaghan were sending "shout outs" to their fans who knew they were secret lovers through their wardrobe color choices when they made personal appearances to promote the movie ("If either wears cream or brown, he's telling us he knows that we know!"). It was so bad that at one show Muriel's forerunner had to create a separate forum for them.
Did ANY of the hobbits of the other fellows of the sound turn out to be gay in the end? Other than Ian Mckellan, of course, who was gay when the whole thing began. I've defeated track of all the actors except the ones who played humans (like McKellan or Viggo Mortensen or Miranda Otto) or elves (like Orlando Bloom and Liv Tyler)--what happened to the hobbit actors is a mystery to me.

Gay actors who don''t engage straight convincingly
I suppose we would have said this about Tony Randall.
If Tony Randall had been gay.
But Tony Randall was not gay.
We'd also be saying this about Peter Sarsgaard.
But, hey, Peter Sarsgaard is straight.
So, here's the lesson:
It's all about expectations.
And closed mindedness.
And subscribing to stereotypes.
Object lesson:
Sean Hayes is perfectly cast, convincing, and superb as C.C. Baxter.
But that asshole in Newsweek criticizes him for a lack of swagger in this straight role.
Granted, if a role required typical unbent swagger, one would probably not cast Sean Hayes.
However, C.C. Baxter, the everyman boy next door created by Jack Lemmon (who would most likely also not have been cast in a role requiring typical straight swagger, notwithstanding that he was straight) has about as much to do with the concept of archtypal linear swagger as Ennis Del Mar has to accomplish with the concept of archtypal gay swish.
Who was often cast as that archtypal straight swaggering dude.
That would have been Rock Hudson, often with unbent Tony Randall as his less swaggering sidekick.
So let's just put this one to bed.
