And I started to think, “This is pretty good! I’m in the comfort of my own home and I can be on my phone during the movie and I can take breaks.” Then we started to screen Bros at packed movie theaters, and we all kept turning to each other and just saying, “Wow.” We had forgotten how special and how much fun that experience is. One thing that I realize is I had forgotten - even as a lifetime moviegoer and even as someone who went to movies every week - how much fun and how moving it is to sit in a dark theater with hundreds of strangers where you’re all escaping the chaos of our cruel, fucked up, chaotic world.ĭuring COVID I watched a ton of movies at home, like everyone else. You’re screening at these big multiplexes I’m out here showing this R-rated gay rom-com at theaters where next door they’re playing Spider-Man. I’ve never been as nervous in my life as the first time we screened this movie at the theater in Times Square. Of course, like any person making a movie and showing it to people for the first time, you’re absolutely petrified. We’ve had these test screenings of Bros all over the country. What is unique about experiencing rom-coms in a theater setting? That led to a lifetime of moviegoing.Įvents of the Week: CinemaCon, 'I Love That for You' and More So, even though Bambi was technically the first movie I saw in a theater, I consider Flashdance the first movie I saw in a theater. I was definitely too young to see Flashdance in the movie theater, but my parents never cared about anything like that. The first movie I saw at night was Flashdance. But I was obsessed with my parents taking me to see a movie at night, which as a 5- or 6-year-old felt very exciting and glamorous. The first movie I ever saw in a movie theater was Bambi.
Universal ’s Bros, which Eichner co-wrote and stars in, harks back to the classics of the genre while setting a new precedent with the movie featuring all openly LGBTQ actors in the principal roles (yes, even the straight ones).Įichner, who is being honored at this year’s CinemaCon with the Comedy Star of the Year honor, talks Bros and the rewards of making theatrical R-rated comedies.ĭo you remember the first movie you saw in the theater? We ask you QC reader, how knowing their crooked lifestyle choices affected the perception you had from these porn stars? Do porn stars with troubled past turn you on? Can you still fap to them when they have committed a serious crime in real life? Tell us in the comments!Įditor’s note: An early version of this post included Sean from CorbinFisher and Boyd from SeanCody, since they passed away we have replaced their spots.Billy Eichner knows his way around a rom-com - wisdom he put to good use making his own. We have curated a list 15 porn stars and their shameful mugshots juxtaposed against their days of former porn glory just for you. Nothing proves better a bad path taken than those vacant stares, those sad, often times dazed, looking eyes. Sometimes for silly things, other times for pretty heavy stuff. Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do when they come for you? We’ve done a fair coverage of QCrimes in the past but it still shocks us to see how many, hot, porn stars have fallen on the other side of the law.
