I went to San Onofre once.  It was okay, except for the nasty tiny red octopi that littered the beach.  I prefer nude gay resorts.  You can misbehave without fear of arrest.  (I also went to Hanlan's Point beach in Toronto.  I just sort of wandered onto the beach, fully clothed, to see what it was like.  Hardly anyone was there, so I didn't bother to strip down and hang out.  As I was leaving I saw a naked guy staring at me hatefully, as if I were a looky-loo or something.  I just ignored him and left.)

@QCDelights:

Deadpool just came out, but other than a strange kiss in the beginning they don't really broach the topic of his bisexuality.

Maybe I'm too militant, but I'm bothered by the scene where he couldn't take (and quickly refused) being fucked by a strap-on dildo.  To me, that scene screamed "DEADPOOL AIN'T NO GODDAMN QUEER, YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS!"  I admit that I could be over-reacting, and that Deadpool could still be an exclusively top bisexual, but the scene just seemed a little too….strategic to me.  Like it was trying to use humor to establish that Deadpool is totally heterosexual by showing his dislike for butt stuff.

@revenger:

Do you guys think is possible for us to watch in near future some Marvel's production with a gay super hero?

Absolutely not.  Disney/Marvel recently got into trouble for "white washing" the Ancient One.  They turned a Tibetan man into a white woman, just to avoid the slight possibly of pissing off China and not being allowed to release "Doctor Strange" there.  My point:
the mouse just wants cheese.  In spite of our advances in the civilized world, most of the planet still hates us.  Even in countries where people don't think they have the religious right to slaughter us, they're still not going to want to give the mouse any cheese in order to watch a fag in a cape.  We gays and our supporters couldn't possibly supply the profits Disney would want.  But that's all theoretical, since it hasn't been THAT long since the Disney/Miramax controversy.  If you want the mouse to shiver in fear, just whisper the word "Priest".

Revenger, I strongly suggest that you watch Agents of Shield.  Once in a loooong while, you will encounter a character named Joey.  Joey is a superhero…sort of.  He has no costume, he has no code name, and his powers are totally undefined (the Melter?  Molecule Man?  WHAT?!).
Joey is about as relevant to AoS as Matt was to Melrose Place, and just like Matt, he is played by a straight actor, and all of his "gay" moments are reduced to ultra-brief comments, as inoffensive as possible for the benefit of the easily offended.  The gayest thing Joey has ever done was when he and a guy sat in a car together (WITHOUT TOUCHING, of course) and discussed their date.....in a weird and clinical way.  And although I could be mistaken, I'm pretty sure that we've never even seen Joey shirtless.

Why would I suggest you watch this meaningless, throwback, crumb that Disney/Marvel has thrown to us?  Simple.  Because it's the closest we will ever come to seeing a live-action, gay Marvel superhero on screen.  (I mean the small screen.  Certainly NOT the silver one.)

I've always been an impossible-to-scare, totally jaded horror film watcher.  That being said, the Drew Barrymore scene from "Scream"  unnerved the living shit out of me.  Even though I watched it during the middle of the day, I had to shut it off, get the fuck out of my apartment, and go be around people for a while.

Strangely enough, that horrifying scene went on to be parodied by "Scary Movie", "Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday The Thirteenth", "MadTV", etc., etc., etc.

(I actually really liked The Shadow.  I thought it was very creative, funny, and exciting.  I also really loved Taylor Dayne's song from the movie.  All in all, I found The Shadow to be much more enjoyable than SOME superhero films, like…..)

To call a movie "the worst", it has to do more than simply bore you, ...it has to crush your dreams.  You have to go into the theater with great expectations, only to have them ground into the dirt for the next two hours.  Like a puppy having its nose rubbed all over a piss-covered floor, you have to sit there and endure the endless, godawful spectacle of all your anticipatory daydreams being actualized as a poorly written, badly directed nightmare.  And you have to leave that theater covered in a sticky film of disappointment and depression that clings to you for days.

My worst movie is Batman v Superman.

Fuck you, Zack Snyder.

Pikmin 2.    A great game that doesn't age badly.

(Actually, the last game I played was Luigi's Mansion.  I tried to play it yesterday, but I got instantly bored and put it away.  Over the years, I think I solved it one time too many.)

Metroid Prime.  I couldn't stop playing the damn thing.  For three days, I only slept a few hours at a time.  I was so excited for the game that my brain kept waking me up so I could play more.

Lego Marvel's Avengers.    At the rate they keep pushing it back, however, I'm certain I'll be long dead before it's released.  :blownose:

A few weeks ago, I found an SNES emulator.  Of course I played my 3 favorites:

1.  Super Metroid
2.  Super Castlevania 4
3.  The Addams Family

(I have a love/hate relationship with Spider-Man and the X-Men, since I was waaaay into comics at the time I first played it.  I'd like to defeat the damn thing and move on with my life, but I can't.  It is an unforgiving, badly rendered, frustrating mess of a game.)

Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil 4.  I spent so much time drooling over him that I never even noticed that there were zombies trying to kill me.
