Wow, for some reason I thought this thread was going to be about him coming out

And yes Eric, I knew that about Wiest and them not being in it at the same time, I was just speaking in shorthand (I did read the production notes in the beginning of the script, ya know! ). I did it maybe five years ago, and yes, a couple of us bought dvds of the Altman movie. Haven't watched it since. Chris Guest is like Corky's bitchy twin here. And we are inexplicably in Paris instead of New York, iirc. The coolest thing about the movie is their neat apartment.

I remember reading something about the awkward time in which the film was made, i.e., audiences being uncomfortable with a comedy about promiscuous gay men at the height of the AIDS boom.

Ha, sorry, you know I was just buggin' ya

That (the AIDS element) makes some sense. It did seem like one of several flop attempts by Altman to make a more mainstream movie while still maintaining his style. I know Durang wrote the screenplay but said it was changed/"improvised" without his approval, as Altman does, and has disowned it. Of course Durang is hard to film--I think the Sister Mary Ignatius TV movie is pretty good, but in that case the satire comes off very differently, and more mean spirited, as done on film.

For a class years back I did a screenplay treatment of Betty's Summer Vacation which I did well with, and was pretty proud about, but in hindsight I don't think its surreal elements would work at all on film.

I loved me some Billy and thought he was a massive improvement over surfer dude Casey (though I was a ZR fan and still am). So glad to see he's making his way in the industry!

And yes, dat ass.

I have already seen every inch of Billy Magnussen's luscious body and perky genitals in various other productions, so his name was long ago made for me.

What are these other productions?

Boardwalk Empire and Happy Tears.

I would say you can't keep an ass like that covered, but considering how many actors do just that, we should be very grateful.

Vee you tramp....LOLOLOL

I was thinking the same thing. Great minds think alike.

Boardwalk Empire and Happy Tears.

I saw him on Boardwalk Empire and he sure does have a fine ass.

If Vee meant plays I don't know any of those.

Billy also shows his naked body in the movie "twelve".

If Vee meant plays I don't know any of those.

I thought it was plays he referred to to but I think he shows his front side in Happy Tears if I am not mistaken.

IIRC he is full frontal in both that and Happy Tears.

I. WISH.

ETA: My bad Khan, didn't mean to step on your toes.

It's all good, SFK. Step away.

Let's be honest: Billy Magnussen is often full frontal (and we love him for that, too).

LOL...I think his balls appear in Happy Tears. I cant believe I am talking about his balls..haha...

His balls are on full display in Boardwalk Empire. I don't remember if they were to be seen in Happy Tears, I was too busy looking at his everything else.

We're serious people.
