What about Uma Thurman and Lorraine Bracco?
Maybe there's something gay going on in Lee's Civil War movie, "Ride With the Devil". At the time it looked pretty hetero ...
... well, as hetero as a movie starring Tobey McGuire could be ...

"Brokeback Mountain," the story of two homosexual cowboys starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, topped 19 competitors, including George Clooney's "Good Night, and Good Luck" to win the Venice Film Festival's top award yesterday.
The film has been called "groundbreaking" by homosexual activists for the amount of "gay" sex that is shown on screen.
Mel Gibson fans will remember Heath Ledger as the eldest son in "The Patriot" determined to fight for independence against the British, the innocent but brave fair-haired boy-man who struggles for justice even among his fellow southern colonialists.
Gyllenhaal is best known for his role as Dennis Quaid's son in "The Day After Tomorrow," last year's science-fiction film that portrayed how climate could flood New York City and put the Northern Hemisphere into a new Ice Age.
Gyllenhaal told Gay.com that filming the homosexual scenes were difficult, but for physical rather than emotional reasons, almost leading to a fractured nose.
"[Ledger] grabs me and he slams me up against the wall and kisses me, and then I grab him and I slam him up against the wall and I kiss him," he said recently, adding the love scenes were the most violent he'd ever done.
"We were doing take after take after take. I got the sh-- beat out of me. ... We had other scenes where we fought each other and I wasn't hurting as badly as I did after that one."
While Ledger admitted his nervousness about portraying a homosexual, Gyllenhaal said understood the universal aspects of the relationship, despite reaction from his friends.
"They're all like, 'Dude, you're gonna kiss a guy.' But it's not about that for me. It's about how impossible love can be sometimes, and I can relate to that."
"As well as that, every man goes through a period of thinking they're attracted to another guy," Gyllenhaal added.
While "Brokeback Mountain" received the Golden Lion award in Venice, George Clooney did not go home empty-handed.
"Good Night, and Good Luck" won best screenplay, and its star, David Strathairn, garned best actor for his portrayal of journalist Edward R. Murrow.
Murrow used television in the 1950s to highlight alleged bullying tactics of Sen. Joseph McCarthy in his anti-Communist crusade.
"This film is a tribute to the reporters who are in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Africa, in our poor city of New Orleans, to bring us the truth," Clooney said.
I own a pair of tan Dingo boots I've had longer than I've been married. Ain't getting rid of them. My dad has a ranch in Colorado, and a registered brand. I have a wife and three kids. I don't have to be concerned about my gender, sexual preference, or status as a cowboy. I do have to wonder about some people, though... I understand expatguy's questioning, and yours. Hang in there! We just have to get through this life, and then...
No, they came dark brown. They're men's actually, because I have really big feet for a girl. They were a birthday gift from my father about 10 years ago.
My husband used to have a pair of Dingo boots. I think we gave them away a few moves ago, after he got his high-top waterproof Boy Scout leader hiking boots.
I don't think people could be confused about my sexuality - this is my 10th pregnancy - but since fashions for women are designed by gay men, I'd like to avoid being fashionable!
"I don't think people could be confused about my sexuality - this is my 10th pregnancy - but since fashions for women are designed by gay men, I'd like to avoid being fashionable!"
I don't worry about being fashionable anymore. Back in high school, most of my classmates were wearing their hair down to their shoulderblades. Mine was a GI special. I wore my stepdad's white sport coat (with a pink carnation, in fact) to my Jr./Sr. Prom. He'd gotten the coat the year I was born. If I'm in fashion these days, it's accidental, but fashion is cyclical. Since I'm not worried about it, I just don't worry about it.
My wife was talking to our children about "age of consent" the other day, and I told her that as far as I'm concerned, the age of consent is now 40. I go to school with young college girls, and at least sometimes work with high school girls, so it's better this way, but most of them consider me an old-fashioned fuddy-duddy anyway. Protective coloration.

And a three fingered hand at that!!!! :0
: )
And sit them on one barstool?
It sounds like you have a lot of sense!
"It sounds like you have a lot of sense!"
Experience is that which lets you recognize a mistake when you make it again. Wisdom is recognizing that it would be a mistake to do that, and not doing it. I have much experience in messing up at one thing or another.
I know what you mean.
The only guy I was ever attracted to was me, but my mommy said if I didn't quit that I'd go blind.
WTF??!?
To quote the Diceman...."How does a man look at another man's hairy a$$ and say, 'Oh yeah, I've gotta have that?'."
These hollywood morons are stupid beyond belief.
Wasn't it Sam Kineson? "How does a man look at another man's hairy a$$ and find love?"
Least that't the way I remember it...
I seem to remember it from "The Diceman Cometh" stand-up show or something like that on HBO many years ago.
My version is on a very old off-the-air tape, from when I was stationed in Turkey, I think. It's a fairly good line, I suppose both could have done something with it.
???
Not me, not ever. What an ass clown this Gyllenhaal is.
Anyways, that movie won't make much money here in America beyond the sodomite market - - San Fransicko and places like that. But it will probably be real popular in places like France, Germany, and Britain.
"Hickory, dickory, dock...."
I saw Dice at his peak. He was hilarious.
