Steve Buscemi Loves the Gays
I wash my hands 100 times a day because they smell like my mother!
Kinda weird lookin' Steve Buscemi recently made the interview rounds to promote Interview. Frankly, it looks like a bit of a snooze fest, but Buscemi was also asked about appearing in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, which some* have called anti-gay.
That's what I found really interesting about the film, that this is being explored in this broad, comedic, hopefully very commercial film, and what I experienced on set, it champions gay rights and gay marriage. So you know, I haven't seen the film yet, but I think Adam has touched on this before in his movies and I know him personally and he's not homophobic. I don't think that is any kind of message he wants to portray.I haven't seen the trailers, and I'm sorry if that's what's seemingly coming through, because I don't believe the film is that way, and I would not have been involved in it if I felt like that's what it was doing. I feel like it's bringing this to the forefront, this whole issue of gay marriage, which I think is a non-issue.
Well said, Steve. Not nearly enough people are praising important films like I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, that spark debate on the real issues in this country. Where would the debate about rats cooking be without Ratatouille? The debate about surfing penguins without Surf's Up? The debate about assisted suicide without Tim Allen? If I were the academy, I would award Hollywood an Oscar for keepin' it real.
