So this is not a gay series like Looking? It has many co-leads and hottie Tyler is a supporting character. The gay couple is not the central story but one of the stories... meh....

Looking is still the standard for American gay series. And Looking came out after the Trans brigade that destroyed many gay narratives on tv, which makes Looking even more impressive.

If a guy is sexually attracted to men and women then that man is bisexual, there's no need for a modifier. Also, there is no such thing as a 'fluid' gay man, the word you're looking for is bisexual.

Thanks, OP! I love Araki and I'm glad I saw the trailer b/c of your post. He uses the exact same score and even dialogue from his film Nowhere in the first 20 seconds and then some dialogue from The Living End mid way through. It's quintessential Araki - it could be interesting. His best work is when he keeps it semi-dark. I always like that his gay characters aren't so stereotypical.

I don’t like Greg Aracki’s works or even him as a person tbh. His films seem like they want to be deep but end up having nothing to say. A lot of them have awful aesthetics. And I found the more mainstream he went the more gay sexuality became a subtext and not shown like with heterosexuals and lesbians. Or if shown was mostly followed by something negative like death or something. It pretty much started around the time he started dating a woman which could be an explanation. I found it weird how he identified as gay but was bisexual. Like what was the point? I read an interview he did and he didn’t understand why gay people would have a problem with him identifying as gay but dating women. He basically called gay people close minded for having a limited view on sexuality and that we shouldn’t judge because we know it feels to not be accepted. Going by the trailer the show doesn’t look like something I’m going to enjoy but imma give it a chance anyway I might like it.

I'll give them credit for the kiss. I'm seeing full tongue there. Most actors playing gay try to cheat it so they don't have to do that. I've also had a thing for Beau since Desperate Housewives and always hoped the Andrew character would seduce him at some point, so this is right up my alley.

I honestly think that the good thing about all these younger actors is that they really don't care as much about this kind of stuff. I think they're more open to doing nudity and sexual stuff on screen, which is great. I'm so sick of this country being so puritanical about our bodies and sex.

R138 I wish that had stayed so.

But I think he will have some success now; queer/ fluid male sexuality is very du jour in 2019. He was a bit too alternative in his presentation of queer men to both straight and gay audiences in the 1990’s. Now teen girls love bi guys in their content and gays will take whatever scraps they can get. Hets are getting used to it too.

So even though this series is not in the least bit new for Gregg - indeed laughably so - I think it is the perfect timing for it in 2019.

I for one find him a one trick pony and for all his pretense of being a ‘queer cinema artiste 👩‍🎨 ‘, a bit of a hack.

I can see this show being as polarizing as all of of Araki's New Queer Cinema stuff. But I ended up really liking it. And not just because of all the gay stuff. I definitely see the elements of Nowhere, as Uly has a pretty strong resemblance to Duval's Dark.

Speaking of which, Duval has a short cameo, and if we see him again, I bet he is playing the same character.

And Avon Jorgia and Tyler Posey have excellent chemistry.

Araki ain't no millennial - although he does seem to suffer from some kind of arrested development and seems to still be chasing those ghosts of the mid-90s "queer" boy. He even "fluid" before it was cool and suffered the wrath of the gays in 1998 when he brought his new girlfriend to the opening of the last installment of his "queer" trilogy. Talk about awkward but not surprising to anyone who was paying any attention to the first two films - the male stars were all bisexual or straight and gay was not cool at all. The New York Post could barely restrain itself in mocking him and his next few films were horrible - they were all straight washed just like his pathetic attempt to date that actress. He finally redeemed himself when he lucked out and optioned the script for Mysterious Skin - gay was now OK and so was Greg again.

Evan was indeed adorable. Clearly the best actor of the bunch. It's too bad the episode lost all the momentum of the opening scene once the focused shifted to the straight couples.

Did anyone noticed that Evan had trouble topping his more physically robust scene partner? Eva has the body of a twink and should have been the one bottoming to the clearly taller and stronger actor he was supposedly fucking.

I thought Posey and Evan has mad chemistry in the alley scene. They kiss so well.

The first episode can do what it's supposed to (talk about a low bar), or it can do more. I was just expecting to see him push himself creatively, that's all. Like someone upthread said, he's got his established schtick and you either like it or you don't. Guess it's just not my thing after all.

I'd be more prepared to cheer this show on if it had an openly gay actor in the cast. Right now, I'm being asked to lust over straight guys and yet again applaud them for their courage because they kissed another man. I'll sure be glad when that stops being a thing.

Different people have different standards, and of course DLers use that as an excuse for a dick measuring contest. Or at least pretending to be able to measure their micro penises. Like, really. Instead of appreciating the show it's about comparisons and "my taste is better then your taste, you fucking loser!".

Avan's grandparents on his father's side were born in India, his father was born in England. Which make this dad a British-Indian, like Riz Ahmed is a British-Pakistani, Riz was born in London.

Yes, the rest of their cast can hold their own, but whenever she has a lot of dialog it feels like I am watching an amateur film and takes me out of the show. I'm fine with some emotionless hot scientist character in theory, but she is just not at the level of the rest of the cast and the show suffers as a result.

The Thread to Hate on "Now Apocalypse" After Its Premiere

by Anonymousreply 382March 19, 2019 9:46 PM

I’m confused. Is the show an ensemble cast or is Ulysses the main character? He opens and close the first two episodes but besides that he barely gets any screen time compared to the straight characters.

by Anonymousreply 383March 19, 2019 11:30 PM

And on the basis of the straight characters, why do they get more sex scenes than Ulysses and why are they prolonged and way more explicit? We know Ulysses is not a prude because the pilot opens with him fucking some other guy’s husband and he and Tyler (forgot the characters name) hooked up on the first date. I just find it strange how the show is supposed to focus on Ulysses and his relationship with Tyler was heavily if not the most prominent promoted by the show but it barely focuses on them. It skips the gay content and focuses on the straight one.

by Anonymousreply 384March 19, 2019 11:41 PM

I don’t know if it’s the studio or Aracki himself doing this but if your not going to focus on Ulysses and his gay (even though he’s technically bi) content then why make his the main character. Why is the only queer male represented on the show treated like a side character? Is it because he’s gay leaning? Will the show put more focus on him if he gets with a woman? Why does Aracki treat his gay characters like shit? I feel like he puts them in his films just to have something bad happen to them compared to the other characters?

It sucks that Ulysses doesn’t get much screen time because he’s got the most interesting storyline and the most captivating character. Who honestly cares about cam girl and writer dude? Most of you guys talk about Beau because you find him hot. Y’all barely talk about his storylines unless it’s to mention how bad an actress the girlfriend is and can girl is barely mentioned. On the subject of beau’s storyline why is the only other queer men shown predators? Not saying there can’t be gay predators on the show but to see the way the other queer male’s treated their inclusion is very suspect.

by Anonymousreply 387March 20, 2019 12:04 AM

Doesn’t Ulysses have any other friends or acquaintances besides those two straight characters? Why is the show bringing in more relationships for the two straight characters while Ulysses is stuck with them. They have a life outside of Ulysses while his is focused around them. Who asked for a storyline focused on beau sleeping with his girlfriend’s girlfriend? And the straight best friend trope is so overdone.

Posey and his team were actually the ones who promoted the hell out of the relationship. From the sheer number of articles and interviews with Posey one would think that he was the main character instead of just a side character.

Posey is desperate to get as much publicity as possible out of this show and to express how ok he is to play gay. But he never forgets to stress in every article that he is straight lol. From the article where he says his girlfriend told him to take the role (because it would be great exposure for him) to the article where he - as a straight person - is so comfortable with his sexuality and he "hopes that this inspires the LGBT community to be comfortable with their sexuality as well" lmao.

The interviews would actually sound much more genuine if Posey didn't feel the need to emphasize in every single one of them that he was straight and had a girlfriend. But now it just seems like he's exploiting playing gay as a way to get publicity. It was the same with JTV. There were several interviews with him about his bi role and how proud he was about it although bisexuality wasn't actually important for his character arc on the show at all. In the last episodes his character only said that he was interested in men as well (totally out of the blue) and that was it. I would hardly call that groundbreaking bi-representation.

R471 that’s not what is being complained about. The problem is that he’s supposed to be the main focus but for some reason he’s not given much screen time compared to the other characters nor is his sexuality treated equally. He’s the only queer male of the main cast but his sex scenes so far have been shorter and less explicit compared to the heterosexual characters. It’s basically a cable porn show so why is most of the sex shown heterosexual when the lead is a gay leaning bi male? We know the character isn’t a prude and doesn’t seem to care much about cheating because the show opened with him fucking somebody else’s husband.

Yes, r466.

Avan is the main character and it's from his point of view. He even spins what's happening to the other characters for us.

But the show still has multiple storylines it's following: Severine vs. Ford, where Ford is the protagonist and Carly vs. Jethro, where Carly is the protagonist.

So it is an ensemble piece — any time you have a lot of scenes without Avan. That's typical of TV. This is just a hip soap opera/ light comedy.

I think you're jumping to conclusions, r473.

It's only on episode 2. There are 8, more episodes left which have plenty of time for more gay sex scenes and development. So give it some time, maybe?

If our presence on here is causing you so much anger that you resort to name calling then maybe you should sit this one out.

I am giving it time that’s why I am planning on finishing the season. And it’s NOT just about gay sex scenes. It’s about the queer male sexuality not being as explicit as the heterosexuality shown. Wether that comes through to you is on you.

I very clearly am judging my criticism on the first two episodes like I have previously stated. If you have a problem with that then maybe you should ignore me or leave until all the episodes are out. I will be satisfied if through out the remaining episodes the problems I have with the first two episodes are rectified. Easy as that.

Ashamed much? You oughta be.

Why aren't queer filmmakers allowed to do mainstream content in addition to queer content?

The queer audience is tiny and it's an act of nobility to do any at all. They have to eat, so it's perfectly fair to do content for straight people, with straight characters and problems.

Several queer filmmakers do mainstream content to pay the bills: John Waters, Alan Ball, Julie Taymor Adam Shankman, Elen Degeneres; the list goes all the way down to putzes like Andy Cohen.

Who are you to say they can't, or that they have nothing to offer straight people? A LOT of their work is excellent.

He can make all the straight films he wants but it’s weird how the treatment of the gay characters when added to these films differ from films that were centered around them films that were more queer. Because it just comes off as pandering to the gays to get support but switch to the straights for more mainstream success. Again to reiterate for you I have a problem with how gays in his films are treated after he became more mainstream then to when he was making films to appeal to queer people.

What’s an act of nobility? So just because he made queer films he can’t do no wrong to queer people? Just because we rarely get films doesn’t mean we have to accept any dribble that is churned out for us. We deserve good quality media too! Not dribble made to make a profit from us. Just because you can accept that doesn’t mean I or anybody else has to.

And you’ve proven what type of a person you are to completely disregard and misinterpret everything I’ve said and call me a pig because you disagree with me. I am not putting homosexuality over any other orientation I’m just pointing out when I feel like it’s not fairly being represented. If anything you sound more homophobic then I am a chauvinist. Just because you resort to name calling doesn’t mean I have to lower myself to your level to attempt to prove a point no matter where we are.

It comes down to "why keep watching, if you already know you hate it (based on Araki's previous work)? Because you want to comment how shitty it is and how everybody who is interested in the show is a stupid loser with no taste".

R467 We were discussing the LGBT representation in this show and that the relationship between Posey and the main character was heavily advertised. I just responded to this subject matter. And as I'm interested in the show I also read some interviews about it of course.

I was just pointing out Posey's behaviour. And of course I gave examples so that people could understand my point. You don't have to be a big fan of a person to discuss the behaviour of a person. DL is a gossip and discussion blog and not a pure fan blog where you're only allowed to post nice things about your fave.

I don’t get being insulted by straight actors declaring their heterosexuality when playing gay roles--especially if they’re single. Christ, just look at some of the threads on DL. Some of you are fucking insane and probably need boundaries established. Besides...who wants to be saying “I’m flattered, but I’m straight” or the opposite for that matter--all day?

As long as it’s brought up fluidly, I don’t see the problem. That’s YOUR hang up.

I'm not insulted by him simply stating is heterosexuality. I've absolutely no problem with straight actors playing gay characters either. The point is that Posey, who isn't a main character on the show, makes interview after interview how proud he is to play gay or how he always wanted to be part of the gay community (whatever that should mean?). It's not like he gets asked randomly about it. He specifically goes out there to promote himself with the topic how gay friendly he is and how great his gay role is. He has ten times more interviews than the main character of the show.

It seems like playing gay for him is just a way to promote himself. It's something that gives him attention. He say he wants to inspire the LGBT community to be comfortable with their sexuality. And he does that by showing them how comfortable he is with playing a gay character. But this is laughable because he clearly doesn't feel very comfortable because he has to emphasize his heterosexuality in every single interview. He can't have it both ways. And with all this Posey just looks like someone who's using the gay community to get attention. Which is very disappointing.

You know. If you don't have a problem with straight actors shamelessly exploiting playing gay while simultaneously trying to distance themselves from everything gay associated that's great. But others have a problem with it, especially if the actor is known for constantly using playing gay as a joke. He's not doing normal promo. There are articles with him all over the place although he doesn't have a big role.

I don't know what you want to achieve with your comment. Noone said that it was the worst thing ever. But it's certainly not a good look for him. And it has become a pattern for him to use the LGBT community to promote himself. Nothing wrong with pointing that out.

Naturally all his fans thought that he just came out. And he has a big fanbase. He started trending on twitter and people congratulated him, told him how happy they were for him and celebrated it. Because most of his fanbase is from TW and there are many gay people among them.

Hours later he made another Snapchat video pointing at a lamp. Shouting "that's me. I'm a lamp". And that of course pissed off many people because they realized that his coming out had just been a joke. He should know that coming out is hard for many people and noone should joke about it easily. But this is Posey for you. He doesn't think things through.

I think it was a pretty big thing because TW had a really big LGBT fanbase. So joking about coming out had a special impact on them. You'd be surprised how big the fanbase is on social media. It's mostly a very young fanbase and those people are on social media a lot. He immediately started trending on twitter. That shows you what impact it had. He has millions of followers on social media alone and of course the news also spread within the whole fandom and other fandoms. You could show a photo of Posey to young people on social media and then show them a photo of an established actor like Daniel Day Lewis and I assure you more people would recognize Posey than the A-list actor.

R485 the problem is they’re declaring their heterosexuality in a way that paints being gay as unfavorable. They paint themselves as being noble and brave for for demeaning themselves to play such a role because straight roles are the favorable ones. They have to mention how straight they are because god forbid they get seen as gay.

The further issue is that out gay actors get a limited amount of roles compared to their straight counterparts. It’s hard for up and coming gay actors to break out because people aren’t hiring them because of their sexuality. They can only pretty much count on gay roles or go back in the closet to try and make it. The gay roles these actors get are usually in small projects etc. So it it frustrating when they’re gay roles in more mainstream, door opening roles the actors are almost always straight. Why can gay actors play smaller gay roles but when it’s something big straight actors are given the role? That’s why is so upsetting for these straight actors to not only get these roles over their equally qualified gay counterparts but for them to bring their I’m not gay bullshit. If playing such a role could damage your straightness so much that you need to remind everyone how straight you are then maybe don’t take the role. Especially when starving gay actors would gladly take the role and not make it seem like their doing the gay community a favor for being a straight male demeaning themselves to play the inferior gay role.

His actions have an influence on several millions of people. Because millions of people alone follow him on his official social media (2.4m on twitter, 5.5m on IG) and of course many more who don't directly follow him know him via the fandom. Of course he doesn't have a huge impact on the LGBT community as a whole. But I would say that your actions have still quite an impact if they reach millions of people.

r509 Reading that interview just confirmed to me how vapid Araki actually is...Interesting how he seems to have written his little bisexual interregnum with that actress out of history! You would think he would play it up since we are told constantly that fluidity is the new gay - a talking point that he repeats ad nauseum in these interviews but only in the abstract. But I think the motivating factor probably had more to do with his AIDS panic as the interview makes clear - he saw heterosexuality as liberating him from impending death! And by the time he figured out pussy wasn't his thing at the end of the 90s, AIDS was no longer a death sentence. Funny how that worked out...

I agree that Posey uses those roles and the promo around it to get "wokeness" points. He knows that he got tons of criticism for his gay jokes, his fake coming out etc. The choice of this role seems very deliberate to show people "see, I love the gay community. You can't criticize me anymore". And it seems to work with his fanbase who praised him for playing bi in JTV (although the role was in fact a straight role as the character only confessed that he was bi shortly before he left the show). As soon we got the bi reveal he gave tons of interviews about his great bi role. Making a big deal about basically nothing.

And the same with this show. He doesn't play a main character but he has tons of interviews about his great gay role. And in every single one he has to emphasize how comfortable he is in his straightness. I doubt Posey has any problem with working with gay people. I think in the HW industry that's unavoidable. But he himself acts as a simple frat bro in private who feels comfortable to use gayness as a joke. And this is ignorant. But he also knows that gay topics bring him attention.

If playing a gay or bi character wasn't a big deal for him he wouldn't feel the need to shout it from the rooftops whenever he plays a character like that. But it seems like he deliberately chose those roles so that he and his PR team can go overdrive to promote him and his image as an "ally". He has tons of interviews out there shouting "see, I'm playing gay and I -as a straight guy- feel comfortable with that!". Playing a LGBT character is a simple means for Posey to get the most attention.

by Anonymousreply 565March 24, 2019 6:54 AM

Just watched the whole season and it was a major disappointment. I had a feeling it was going to be bad by the pilot but figured that pilots are usually bad and represent the whole show. It only got worse. The worse episode for me was I think 6 when Ulysses and Carly were talking about the wanders of pussy and how more natural it was. To say I was shocked when I heard that would be an understatement especially coming from a creator who identifies as mostly gay. But he’s always pushing fluidity so I should have figured. One the topic of fluidity the main cast are fluid except the one straight man. There’s even a scene where he gets to reaffirm his straightness. So why can a “gay” guy be fluid but not a straight guy? None of the fluidity shit was pushed on any of the straight man. And why are the two gay guys predators?

Well that's just beyond disappointing, R566. All valid questions too. Shame.

Since IMDB list Tyler Posey as being in all 10 episodes, maybe he shot more scenes, but Araki didn't use them. The straight characters had way more storyline. What if Starz told Araki to cut most of the gay storyline to make it more palatable for straight people?

In episode 10, Ulysses tells his boyfriend his relationship with Gabriel was hot/cold melodrama. In episode 7 Carly ask Ulysses "How are you gonna fuck it up this time" referring to his new relationship with Isaac and he says something about Gabriel disappearing every 5 seconds. Ulysses and Gabriel only had one interaction, and then Gabriel ghosted him, so it doesn't make sense for him to say that..

It's also odd IMDB doesn't credit James Duval or Jonathan Schaech as being on the show. Both were in at least 3 episodes each. Maybe Araki had to shoot more scenes to account for the missing scenes with Gabriel.

IMDB is as reliable as wikipedia. Anyone can edit

It was most likley Posey fans who just put him in into every episode long before the episodes even aired. I very much doubt that Posey shot more scenes and that they were cut. I still have to laugh when I remember that Posey described the show as tasteful in an interview. This show is a lot, but tasteful is surely not a word I would describe it with.

interesting to see how they cover tattoos, i know s lot of people thought they would harm his ability to get roles, but it seems he has chosen roles that embrace them or its not a hard thing to cover up

according to one of the artists he tagged it only took 24 minutes (and that included some face make up too)

Can't believe I actually watched all ten episodes of this crap. What utter horseshit and that last episode is maybe the worst-written piece of television I have ever seen. "We were chaos - hot & cold melodrama." Um, what the what now? We literally saw Posey in the first episode only and then you ghosted his ass for some reason and dreamt about him. Or have I missed an episode or two? We also saw maybe five minutes of them making that web series and suddenly it's a huge success?

Do not get me started on lecturing the audience about gay guys getting a hankering for pussy occasionally, Araki railing against the concept of verbal consent like it's some fascist invention, trying to pass off watersports as a shocking kink, or playing the alien anal rape at the end like a joke. How did this get renewed?

Things I enjoyed - Beau's bod, RJ Mitte (Walter Jr. from Breaking Bad is a hottie now!), one clever joke that I've already forgotten, some of the lighting, and Jogia's hairy pits and just his body in general. Also his performance is pretty great. Aside from that, this is an awful, awful series.

R573 I don't think Jeff Davis was too thrilled when Posey added more tattoos during Teen Wolf. I thought it might make getting other roles a bit more difficult to get in the future.

R575 God bless you!

I just finished watching the entire series and found Jogia's character very likable and engaging. Of course, it helps that the actor is so easy on the eyes.

Did anyone else feel weird where they kept telling us that RJ’s character had Cerial Palsy? I feel like if going it going to get mentioned then it should have been by him.

HOW AND WHERE DID YOU WATCH THE WHOLE SEASON? Some of us don't have cable and can't seem to get it...

Do the Starz App (or Starz channel on Amazon if you already have Prime). They offer a free 7 day trial.

Binge the show, cancel before 7 days. It is actually quite easy to see the show legally and for free.

I just finished the season, I liked it fine enough and hope the renewal rumors are accurate.

[quote] One the topic of fluidity the main cast are fluid except the one straight man. There’s even a scene where he gets to reaffirm his straightness. So why can a “gay” guy be fluid but not a straight guy? None of the fluidity shit was pushed on any of the straight man.

This bugged me as well. The "gay" character and "straight" girl characters are shown as being of course humans can be sexually fluid, but with our straight male character it is reinforced that well he is straight and you can't expect a straight guy to ever be not straight. It just sticks out like a sore thumb given the vibe of the show.

[quote]I enjoyed the series. The characters are sweet and unpretentious, even when they're being pretentious like Jethro.

I agree that Uly, Carly, Ford and Jethro were all watchable characters that I started getting invested in. Severine continued to be an awful part of the main cast and that actress should have no gotten that role.

I will say I thought Avan Jogia and Jacob Artist had a very easy believable chemistry in their scenes, enough so that Jacob Artist actually made me wonder about his sexuality because he seemed very comfortable in the role. Frankly they were more believable than Avan Jogia and Tyler Posey were, personally I felt like I was watching actors try to be gay there.

I thought that was handled very naturally. They meet him and discuss it amongst themselves afterwards, that's generally how those things work, people don't want to confront the person about it. And it was treated as a minor detail about the character, which was nice.

Araki likes his straight boys straight - he fetishizes them...His other male characters have been bisexual or ambiguous - Gay guys have been mostly absent from his work so take from that what you will...

Jacob Artist was HAF in his Glee days but looks weird and overly aged (he's only 26) in this. His hair especially looks like shit.

If anyone here is going to get the Starz 7-day free trial, I suggest you bingewatch American Gods or even Spartacus instead. Spartacus has lots of sex and nudity but at least it has a substance to it. This show does not, utter waste of time, if you ask me.

Wait, so Jacob Artist isn't gay either? Are there [italic]any[/italic] fucking gay actors in this show at all?! Am I the only one who finds it beyond the pale that only straight guys got employment opportunities in a show that was marketed as ostensibly gay/queer? Araki is a self-hating homo if I ever saw one.

Aside from that kiss between Beau and Avan in the first episode, every other kiss between two guys was that familiar closed kiss you see straight actors do when they're playing gay roles. Blech.
