Was movie Dredd gay?

[MR. ELIMINATOR]

haha

[Goaty]

I take it as read that the lead of the '95 Judge Dredd film can - by inference - be seen as definitively heterosexual...

Ya think?

Oh dear. 

[Mabs]

Ha ha! Sly doesn't look too pleased though!

Why do people try to see things that are not there. There is an internet movement that proclaims that Spongebob is gay.FFS he is a kids cartoon character and the fact that one of the teletubbies carries a hand bag makes it gay. It is a sexless made up character for kids for christ sake.

Time for me to step off the soap box me thinks.

There were three of us in this marriage.

Homosexual subtext exists in a lot of films and tv shows, though it doesn't necessarily mean that the main character is gay (ie: Ben Hur, Rebel Without A Cause, Smallville).

Well that depends on what you would consider intentional and what you bring to it yourself, Professor James T Bear.

... Bryan Singer's Superman is so not-gay that he has sex with a lady, but the film itself is obviously shaped by the director's sexual and (related) aesthetic preferences.

There are many, many readings of scenes where Clark can't be with a woman who loves him and is beaten up by rough jocks for being different, Sauchie.

I would add Smallville vids, but this would entail posting a link to shipping MVs with Creed, U2 or Avril Lavigne soundtracks and no-one wants that.  Do a search for "Smallville clex" if you really want to know - but God have mercy on you if you do.

I thought that was his Jewishness.


Seen all those vids before prof. and since Gore Vidal had a hand in writing the screenplay for Ben Hur, hardly surprising. Add Spartacus and Top Gun to your list. Subtext is one of those things that exists everywhere, yet you brought your own reading to Dredd.

That was priceless, Pro. You can never take anything Gore Vidal tells you at face value, but watching that spear/loving-cup scene with the knowledge that Chuck Heston didn't have a clue what was supposed to be going on is absolutely hilarious.

It's not just a river in Egypt, Joe.
