Starsky & Hutch: A Homoerotic Affair?

IMDB.com ^ | 6-19-03

[Paul Atreides]

The new Starsky & Hutch movie will be filled with homoeroticism, according to cast member Juliette Lewis. The actress says the currently-shooting film, starring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson as the title characters, will be much more comedy based than the '70s TV series which inspired the flick. She says, "There are so many homoerotic overtones between Ben and Owen's characters that it's just absolutely hilarious. Todd Phillips (director) did a really great job casting the movie. Vince Vaughn is incredible as the smarmy villain. I play his girlfriend Kitty. I'm one of those kinds of girlfriends who constantly massages her man's shoulders." She adds, "Leave it up to Todd to hire me for the T&A factor in the movie when I'm so not that girl. But since Todd directed me in Old School, he calls me his go-to-girl, which is something I'm proud of."

Welcome to the Hollywood of the 21st century.

[Xenalyte]

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson together again? Maybe they can get Christine Taylor (Stiller's wife), dad Jerry and mom Anne Meara, and Will Ferrell - and reprise Zoolander.

[AntiGuv]

At this rate, every Hollywood movie will soon include a homoerotic affair..

[what's up]

Saw the preview last night for the new reality show featuring 5 gay men. Yuk.

[TheBigB]

Starsky, never. But I always wondered about Hutch and Huggy Bear.

[Paul Atreides]

Is that the ripoff of the Bachelor, on Bravo?

Growing up I absolutely LOVED watching that show .... this just guaranteed that I will never watch it.

If I want to watch fags I'll check out the Ambiguously Gay Duo on SNL ..... that's about it.

[what's up]

Didn't watch it enough to know if it's trying to be like the Bachelor but, yes, I think it was on Bravo.

[BibChr]

Yeah, well, like I always say, homoeroticism is... absolutely... hilarious.

The new Starsky & Hutch movie will be filled with homoeroticism, according to cast member Juliette Lewis.

In defense of the producers of this movie, Juliette Lewis is three rocks short of a box.

She was probably swatting imaginary flies from her hair as she made these statements.

[sheik yerbouty]

Actually, the outfits they'll be wearing will be like Steve Martin's an Dan Akroyd's "Two Wild and Crazy guys".

I think we're missing the point here. If the film shows some "homoerotic" tendency between the two, it could be to use it as a comedic devise, not as a serious relationship. It's interesting that Hollywood, despite it's effort to appear tolerate of perversion, actually uses gay characters and circumstances to get a laugh -- Hollywood unknowingly holds gays up to ridicule.

[My2Cents]

Complete with "bulges"?

[Petronski]

This film is high satire. I expect it to be very funny.

The combination of Stiller and Wilson was hilarious in Meet the Parents and Zoolander.

[Thud]

Not. The original Batman TV series, in the '50s, was hilarious. "Hey Batman, let's change ...."

[Calvin Locke]

I was in HS in the mid 1970s. My English teacher brought up that possiblity was the Lone Range and Tonto. Can't remember
how we got on to the topic, but I was disappointed at yet another cultural icon (such that it was), biting the dust.

[Petronski]

Precisely!

[brownie]

A lot of the old Roman epics had a lot of homo erotic overtones. Sparticus anyone?

[My2Cents]

BTW, wasn't it Juliette Lewis who played the lead in that awful movie, "The Younger Sister," or some such thing, about young retarded woman who comes of age and struggles to make it on her own? That movie was a total insult to the developmentally disabled. It was degrading.

[Petronski]

If you want to have fun watching The Lone Ranger, just pretend the word "Kimosabe" is actually indian for "You big dummy!"
