And Here’s a Scene From James Franco’s New Gay BDSM Movie [NSFW]

Here's a clip from the 60-minute art film, Interior. Leather Bar., co-directed by and starring James Franco that will premiere at Sundance this week. Just like the movie, it's all about gay sex. While the clip is definitely NSFW—not for nudity, but for the sounds of moans and slaps (you should be fine if you use headphones)—most of it is a conversation about gay sex, specifically, Franco's personal thoughts (he plays "a version" of himself in the film) on the importance of showing it in mainstream movies to combat hetero-normative conditioning. Every fucking love story is a dude that wants to be with a girl, and the only way they're going to end up happy is if they walk off into the sunset together. I'm fucking sick of that shit…Sex should be a storytelling tool, but we're so fucking scared of it. Interior. Leather Bar. is a "re-imagining" of the controversial 40 minutes of footage that was cut from Cruising, the 1980 Al Pacino film about a serial killer targeting gay men in West Village leather bars. According to Cruising's director William Friedkin, all of the deleted footage was shot inside actual gay clubs and depicted "graphic homosexuality with Pacino watching, and with the intimation that he may have been participating." He says he was forced by the MPAA to remove the scenes in order to avoid an X rating. He claims that the studio later destroyed the footage. This one of three sex-based movies of Franco's that will be premiering at Sundance. He produced the documentary kink, about the fetish website Kink.com. And he also plays Hugh Hefner in the Linda Lovelace biopic Lovelace.

• So boring. So self-absorbed. So pompously inauthentic and meaningless.

• I'm glad he's maintaining an interest in this area. Can't wait to see what he does next.

• The real shame is, Franco is pretty much alone saying the obvious and doing these films. There's supposed to be 9 to 30 million of us he-mosexuals, and one straight guy, Franco, is making the loudest noises on our behalf. We are truly a grouping of wusses.

• What [R1] said

• R3, if you think we require a slapdash auteur who gets a lump in his pants over teasing himself without real commitment, and who subverts topics of what it is to be a man today among men and women by playing sex-dog-porn-king, you need more care and interest than anyone here is going to give you. Go - watch little movies and be alone.

• r5, no on is offering more than Franco. You sound pretty empty headed to me, but then unfortunately, the empty headed make up the mojority of most groups.

• "the mojority" It's the new pron!

• I'm mostly a heterosexual. Yet I don't understand why it is easier for people to focus on the trivial ie. how Jodie Foster came out at the Globes. Hell, I knew she was a dyke when she was a tyke. But can't discuss honestly how people are condition to think they way they do about sexuality. Franco is right. I remember a time when blacks were not seen in prominent roles on tv- whether it was a series or commercial unless they were depicted as a criminal or servant. It does matter how groups of people are presented to the mainstream. I don't understand why it's ok to show a human blown to pieces by a gun but not the various forms of sexual expression.

• Love him! Hope they show him with a hard on in the movie.

• yumer!

• James Franco is going to create a gay backlash. He's just using our community / subculture now, and it's obnoxiously obvious.
