The cut kissing scene from “54”

Breckin, stupid autocorrect.

Meh.

Ryan Phillippe is a homophobic douche who went on to write and direct a movie about getting to torture and kill the gay fan who kidnaps him.

The scene is campy.

I don't think the footage cut from 54 can make it a good movie.

I had this on mute, and it was hot until the actual kiss, which was botched. What a shame.

Good lort Phillipe is a bad actor

I really liked the movie.....love the song at the end (If I Could Read Your Mind)!!

^^^You're welcome.

....

This was different from the cut that circulated around years ago. I think Ryan's character said something like "Like Christmas" before he went in. It seemed slowere and sweeter in the other cut, I guess maybe alternate takes...

Well you know what they say about homophobes [R3] ? Their supressing it . Ryan P may well be family just like many of the tv Christian evangelists caught with male escorts and masseurs are!

Bello ragazzi.

Ryan Phillippe is not a good actor and has a terrible voice. But he was very beautiful --he had a nice tight body and a beautiful angelic face. It reminds me of the late 70s-early 80s ideal for men (which is why he was so perfectly cast in "54").

And what happened to Breckin Meyer?

R13 - You summed up his career/appeal perfectly.

Both the natural register and "affect" he puts into his voice only adds to his seeming vapidness.

"Christ, was I drunk, I don't remember a thing..."

Homophobia strikes again.

Why do they even film a gay kissing scene when they're all so scared of (hold me, David) The Backlash? Fuck Hollywood. Fuck all the cunt men & prick women who always lick the breeder superiority foot and forever funnel its stink into mankind's collective consciousness shoe. Ryan Pittypat's pouty lips and grabby sphincter are here to please all cocks and everybody knows it -- he REEKS OF IT!

R18 Yes! Hollywood is still so frightened of the gay issue in 2018. Stunningly stupid!!!

Breckin Meyer should have had a better career. He was very attractive in a very unusual way.

Ryan Phillippe is, indeed, a dreadful actor. I thought Breckin Meyer was much more believable.

Yes, I actually find Breckin much hotter in OP’s clip than RP (who does nothing for me).

Why are they blue?

Cut for a good reason. Dreadful.

Maybe someday they could have gay actors play the gay roles so the kissing scenes wouldn't look so fucking awkward.

I’ve never thought Ryan Philippe was attractive in any way. He always seemed like a douche, too.

Meyer was always beautiful (see also: Clueless) and still looks great today. Far more appealing than Philippe.

Breckin In 2013.

[Quote] Meyer was always beautiful (see also: Clueless) and still looks great today.

He was so cute in Clueless.

[quote] R23: Why are they blue?

They’re sad because it’s the end of the night, Rose.

What a fucking stud @ R27! That’s the body I want. Perfection.

If Wikipedia is to be believed. Meyer and Phillippe are still friends, and have a production company with Seth Green.

Always thought Breckin was hot. I love short guys who are hot and cocky. Usually = big dick energy.

He was in some show a few years back where he was a lawyer, and he was always really cocky and confident in that role. Definitely made me moist.

I've seen the "original" version and it was much better. A great montage scene of Ryan waking up every morning with a different girl or guy.

[quote]If Wikipedia is to be believed. Meyer and Phillippe are still friends, and have a production company with Seth Green.

Meyer and Phillippe both tell the story that they were true friends, not show biz friends before they shot the movie and was weird kissing each other. Understandable, most BF don't kiss like that.

Breckin did tons of voice work too, was always on "King of the Hill" for one.

He really is short though. 'You could be a model... if you were a little taller" as Mike Meyers says in "54".

Breckin is a single, divorced dad...currently dating a soap actress.

Philippe is really beautiful in blue lighting.

I'm glad there's more footage of him from his aesthetic peak days.

I had no idea Meyer played both the character in "54" and "Clueless". My mind is blown.

He has a nice, slightly goofy smile. Reminds me of Joe Dallesandro's smile. He was pocket-size as well.

[quote] Breckinridge Meyer

"Breckinridge" sounds like a cooler name.

He's a super hottie!!!

Poor boy . Hit hard with the ugly stick

I gotta bottom again. WTF dude!

Doorman! I don't need no stinking doorman!

Lube!.. I don't need no stinking lube!

r42 = Drew Dixon and Billy Douglas

Better angle.

R46 the other guy isn't Breckin Meyer, is it? Maybe another kiss from the director's cut

R47 That is the director.

The cut gangbang scene.

Oh give me a break with "we were friends before and so it was super awkward" BS.

That might be true if this were real life and we were talking about a dare at a party. But this ain't real life. It's Hollywood, and you're supposed to be actors.

Gay actors playing straight make out and/or have sex scenes with women day in day out in theater, TV, and movies. It is your fucking job to make believe and pretend to be someone you're not. Even if you think it is icky in real life.

If you can't handle that, don't go into acting.

[italic]“There was a part of us that was a little sad nobody ever got to see it,” says Phillippe of the kiss, which was restored for the director’s cut. “We did something that was relatively bold for two young male actors, and we took pride in the places that the original story went. So, it’s nice that people finally get to see Breckin and me kiss.”[/italic]

From IMDB's Trivia page

[quote] In 2008, about a decade after its original theatrical debut, Writer and Director Mark Christopher assembled a bootleg Director's Cut of the film, with forty-five minutes of never before seen footage, and unofficially screened it at New York's Outfest around July-August 2008. This version reinstated the blatant promiscuity and bisexuality of Ryan Phillippe's character, as well as the film's core love triangle between Phillippe, Salma Hayek, and Breckin Meyer which the Miramax studio forced him to cut from the original release.

He is a bad sctor. And it was just yet another cop out.

The restored cut is funny because the only footage available in some cases was off of VHS. And it looks like it indeed. Don't expect a Criterion print for sure.

P.S. Phliippe was one of the nicest guys with which I ever got to work and, indeed, great looking in person.

"Why are they blue?"

Their balls were so blue that day.

What movie is that at R42?

Also 54, R56.

Really? I must have totally blanked that out.

I don’t remember Cameron Matheson being in it at all.

Thanks R57

[quote]I don’t remember Cameron Mathison being in it at all

He didn't have much screen time in the studio version

Swimming lessons! I don't need no stinking swimming lessons!

Why did Miramax even bother making the movie if they didn’t want to make and release THE movie?

Scenes are cut from films all the time. Like this one from Call Me By Your Name:

They did more than cut scenes. They de-gayed 54 almost completely

LOL R62!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone seen the restored version?

I thought the original was pretty bad, save for Mike Myers. Had it been a better film, I think he could have come away with an Oscar nomination .

[quote]Oh give me a break with "we were friends before and so it was super awkward" BS.

Unclench Madame, they weren't taking about being uncomfortable kissing another boy, they were talking about being friends. Most close friend don't romantically kiss. Get it?

I had the hots for both those guys, and would have loved to see them really make out. And then get invited in to a three way make out session. Because damn.
