Michael Cimino & George Sear cover Attitude Magazine

Hottie

These two little bottoms are so adorable 🥰

They’re straight r3

Decent. Michael looks better

I love Michael, but George owns my soul. He's got those light hazel eyes, and his body is exactly what I like.

Michael looks like a fawn. Adorable.

He looks so young for being an Oscar winning screenwriter.

I loved The Deer Hunter.

Michael reached out to LGBTQ people after getting the role

George on kissing Michael

George has beautiful nipples. Michael's are tiny.

R9 beat me to it

[quote] Michael is a sexy little brown boy

What a stupid and demeaning thing to say.

Michael is a sexy, little, off-white boy.

Hilarious, R15.

Can't he just be a sexy BOY?

Michael isn’t even off white. He’s brown.

Michael’s face is so disturbingly cute, it looks like a cartoon.

Michael is a Puerto Rican with an Italian father, who grew up in Brooklyn I think.

I agree with you, he is sexy, but I've watched too many of his interviews and that takes the sexy right out of it for me. George OTOH, could read the label on Ketchup and I'd be there for it.

[quote] I've watched too many of his interviews and that takes the sexy right out of it for me

Ooooh, now that's an interesting observation.

What is it about his interviews that makes him less attractive, R19?

I've never seen him interviewed, so I have no idea what you mean.

Michael is a Brooklyn native boy. Love him.

George is meh.

George is the best top I’ve ever had.

Personally, I prefer Teddy Sears.

Who are these people?

[quote] Who are these people?

Never mind, grandma.

Go back to bed.

Who is she? Who was she? Who does she hope to be?

Teddy Sears is a man in his 40s. Comparing him to these early 20somethings is stupid.

He is their elder. Not their peer.

He is super cute, albeit a little too brown for my taste. But those eyes are mesmerizing!

[quote] Teddy Sears is a man in his 40s. Comparing him to these early 20somethings is stupid.

George Sear.

Teddy Sears.

Clearly, you have no sense of humor.

[quote] He is super cute, albeit a little too brown for my taste

The bigotry on this site is really sickening.

It freaks me out that people like you, actually exist.

Is George Sear the new Van Hansis?

It’s still crazy to me that Cimino is playing a high school basketball star. He’s adorable but that’s odd casting for his size and general aura of being non athletic.

Michael is straight

I'm 99.9% certain George is gay.

Some of the casting is hilariously WTF. THe girl who plays Mia looks like she's pushing 40. I laugh every time she says she's a high school junior. And where's the love for Charlie Hall, Julia Louis Dreyfuss's son, who plays the dumb jock? He is really gorgeous, in a handsome non-pretty way, and has BDF for days.

R33, I thought he looked familiar. He’s very handsome.

[quote] THe girl who plays Mia looks like she's pushing 40. I laugh every time she says she's a high school junior.

I don't find that funny at all.

Mia looks like a teen to me.

Well R32, you'd be wrong 99%. Because Attitude article/ interview confirmed he is straight. But he is one of the "friendliest" allies I've come across lately.

This is why they don’t wanna be associated with us. When they are they get labeled as gay by gays.

I do think George is very open to exploring things ... for a role of course... Gotta say I'm kind of loving the way the people who interview him in some of the video's I've watched on You Tube are almost dumbstruck and goofy. Out Magazine and some GLAAD guy were practically drooling.

The sets feel cheaper this time around.

R37 Yeah because 20 something gay actors are never pressured to remain in the closet for the sake of their careers.

R40, I was fine with the lack of shower curtains.

R40 I thought they looked OK. But with COVID they said they couldn't cast many extras for the school scenes, and they sure scewed up with the cabin on the lake because the mountains and the outdoors was so obvious California.

R38 if they think being called gay is so offensive they can go fuck themselves

Of course people are going to speculate about actors who play gay characters. If they didn't expect that, then they shouldn't have taken the roles.

But most people aren’t speculating. It’s always gay men themselves doing it.

The actress who plays Mia is 25.

George Sear is 23.

R46 Oh please, no it is not just gay men. You just sound like a self-loather.

When does the shipping begin?

Geomino, anyone?

[quote] But most people aren’t speculating. It’s always gay men themselves doing it.

Not always. I remember fans of Tom Chaplin, from the band Keane, thought him being on the cover of Gay Times meant he's coming out without having read the magazine's article and the management had to issue a statement.

Of course playing gay starts questions in peoples minds, but with a show like this it’s always gay men.

The main demos for this show seem to be teen girls and adult gay men. The girls will assume these cute guys are straight. It's the gay men who will endlessly speculate.

r53, that might be news to all the teenage girls who shipped Larry (One Direction). Or the ones who shipped Sterek (Teen Wolf).

R4- Oh yes, they're straight.

They're not even STRAIGHT acting.

The Latino boy looks GAY from outer space.

R32- Your gaydar SUCKS. The Latino is as straight as Andrew Rannellls

R50 - “When does the shipping begin?”

The term “shipping” is not really appropriate for use here on Datalounge. Not only do most posters (50+ white males) not know what this means, it’s just an all around cringeworthy term.

The demographic are teen girls and gays and young adults. People your age watching are the minority. And a different demographics than people in their 20s and 30s.

I'm a 53-year-old gay man who's addicted to the series. I can't get enough of it. I sometimes rewatch the scenes where Victor and Benjy kiss. What does that say about me, besides how pathetic I am?

There is nothing pathetic about liking entertainment that isn't directly aimed at your (age) demographic. What is pathetic to demand for a show to commit to your preferences 100% when you are not even part of the show's targeted demographic.

The first word that comes to mind when looking at that cover: BASIC

When are they gonna fuck???

The show runners said we're going to get some fucking this season, so lets get to it!

[quote]What does that say about me, besides how pathetic I am?

You might just wanna quit while you're ahead r60.

R63, they’ve started fucking. They were caught mid-bone by Victor’s mom.

R32 & R57 I would NOT be surprised if several years from now bother actors are out as either gay, bi or pan.

GAY ACTORS SHOULD ONLY PLAY GAY ROLES THIS IS LITERAL VIOLENCE AGAINST THE LGBT COMMUNITY

R67 BOYCOTT!

I wish I had known the actors were straight before I watched the entire second season. I won't watch it next season.

Hot, R65!

Where can I watch that online for free??? I don't have HULU.

I always knew Victor was a bottom. Just look at the way he's sitting submissively at his boyfriend's feet in op's pic.

I think the implication is that Victor is the top, from the way they shot their foreplay scene.

R71, gurl, no. Victor was caught naked with his legs in the air and Benji pumping away.

The acting on the part of the young cast is pretty good, much better than other teen soaps like Degrassi, even though none of the actors look remotely age-appropriate for high school, except maybe the kid who plays nerdy Felix. The adult actors are quite good too. I'm especially impressed with Ana Ortiz, who plays Victor's mom, and the actress who plays Felix's bipolar mom. She is quite good, in what could've been a throwaway role. And how much of a little gayling is the kid who plays Victor's baby brother Adrian?

OMG R72, that is so HOT!!!

Benjy, the sensitive musician, seems like he would be the bottom, versus Victor the aggressive jock. Also, Benji's previous bf came across as the alpha top in that relationship.

Why is the brown person relegated to the fem and less central stance here?

Cuba Gooding's son is hot, but he looks about 35. It's hysterical that they have him passing for a HS junior.

PR + Italian = Michael's weighty beautiful dick?

Fuck off, R76.

I wanted to hear sexy talk. At the cabin when they finally stat fucking (Victor tops) they start out with the "I love you" shit, and they kiss, and it gets hot as they undress one another, but then we get the blurred lens as Victor mounts up. I wish we could have seen Victor ride Benji because it would give him more control.

Again this ain't that kinda show.

They’re vers. DL eldergays seem to think you’re either a top or bottom, how it was years ago. It’s 2021. Most young gays switch it up.

It’s implied Victor topped when he lost his V card.

Later we see him bottoming.

So they switched it up.

These two are as straight as Darren Criss. Whet is him btw?

This is the "sex" scene which some posters here are claiming is so hot and whatnot. I'll shamelessly repeat myself from the other thread when I said that I've seen more passion in gay for pay porn.

Thanks, R84!!!

Loved it!

R84 they showed more than I expected

Straight actors sometimes seem mighty, mighty comfortable playing gays. Like George saying Michael is a good kisser (+ cute laugh). There must be some straight guys (yeah even actors) who would not be that comfortable playing love/sex scenes with other guys. Just sayin. But you never see it.

But when they don’t you take issue also r87. Pick a struggle

Another man's breath smells like dog's breath.

You've been hanging with the wrong men r89.

[quote]Like George saying Michael is a good kisser

That's the standard PR line for every couple of straight actors playing gay. The lack of tongue proves it's bullshit.

[quote] There must be some straight guys (yeah even actors) who would not be that comfortable playing love/sex scenes with other guys. Just sayin. But you never see it.

Not in theater, thus the notion that everyone in drama club is a fag. i've worked in the Film business for over 15+ have never met a fully straight actor. They may not label themselves, but pretty much everyone is at least bi leaning. It's the reality of the profession, anyone that actually deals with showbiz knows this.

[quote]anyone that actually deals with showbiz knows this

Anyone who says something like this is full of shit. Even if they capitalise "Film".

My phone capitalizes film and I'm not full of shit, you probably are, living at your flyover midwest existence of a frau. It doesn't take even too much to roam around Los Angeles and spot actors hooking up at broad daylight with their same sex pals, the Froy + Richard situation is hardly an exception to the rule.

Once again, you just don't know what you're talking about.

Funny how your phone didn't do it in any other post, huh?

And funny how your 15+ years of experience is now...drive around LA and you can see some actors hook up. Which you turned into no actor is straight. You said something stupid, and now you're trying too hard to defend it and making an ass out of yourself.

Some of us post from multiple platforms throughout the day. phone, tablet and desktop. Not my fault you can only access here from your Windows 98 at your nursing home, is it?

He’s very young to be a cult leader; I think the cult was called Heavens Gate? Is that right?

Gals, smell R96! She has means.

I just watched all of season 2 on hulu. Lots of major relationship drama all over the place. I don't want to spoil it by giving the ending away for those who haven't watched.

Hoping it will be renewed for a third season. With that ending to season 2 it'd better be.

Last year when Michael Cimino was doing press for the first season of Love, Victor, he said in an interview that while he identifies as straight:

"I don't want to put myself in a box and put myself in a position where if I were to come out as bi or as gay 10 years from now, that I was defending an identity that was being true to myself."

Yeah, do the math people.

That's a very intelligent and introspective statement he made, R100.

Many people are still trying to figure out what they like, from their teens into their early 20's.

He's right. Why put yourself in a box, only to leave yourself up to criticism later?

Smart kid.

r101, I kind of disagree.

You figure out early on what you like. What you are struggling with is either sharing that info (as in coming out) or trying to keep a low profile to have an easier life.

R101 & R102 You know your sexual orientation once puberty kicks in, whether you want to admit it publicly in your teens or early 20s, well, that's a different story

Some people are not frozen in time with their sexual orientation; they are fluid.

Within a year Michael will identify as a power bottom.

They look like 15 year olds so of course the Old Queens of DataLounge are drooling....YUCK....I am a gay MAN---watching two FEM teenagers holds no appeal to me. Not to mention the actors are so "proud" they refuse to come out of the closet.....The guy who plays Felix was GIRLYING UP all over the Bold and Beautiful for years..They finally got rid of him---probably because he couldn't pull off straight---and B+B avoids gay male characters like the plague.....

Who is the shirtless Mateo?

R107 = Francisco San Martin was the actor....

Ooooh he’s smokin thanks

Daytime soap fan telling us all what a MAN he is.

I have never heard anyone in the profession refer to it as showbiz. But, that aside, I'm not sure what you're claiming. That everyone from kids in drama club (in every school in the world, I guess) to actors in theater and film, *everyone* is gay or bi leaning? And I guess you've met them all?

I think good actors, no matter how they identify, really know how to get into the skin of the character. Some are more successful than others... and it's about finding their character's humanity and understanding what motivates them. Gay actors, forced to endure the closet for years, playing straight characters, really have perfected that ability. I don't care about their orientation. I care about authenticity in how they express the humanity of any character they play, whether it's Hannibal Lecter or Ennis Del Mar.

Yeah, I have just noticed a different pretty recently. When straight actors used to do gay love scenes and were interviewed, they usually admitted it was an unusual experience, or was difficult to get used to. Granted there were way fewer gay scenes in media even 10 years ago. But young straight actors (under 25, say) just usually have zero inhibitions about it. I guess it's partly cultural, but just being straight you would think they would not find it totally comfortable.

*difference

[quote] They look like 15 year olds so of course the Old Queens of DataLounge are drooling....YUCK

Wow, you must be as old as dirty.

Michael Cimino is 21. And he looks 21.

But I suppose a 50 year old would look young to YOU, Grandma.

I'm relatively young, at 53, but am mistaken for a lot younger looking, but c'mon, even I can tell that some of the kids look much older. The Mia chick and Mason Gooding are especially glaring. Both look and sound 30-ish.

[quote] Michael Cimino is 21. And he looks 21.

Maybe they should stop casting men who are/look 21 as 16 or 17 year old boys.

They can’t cast people under 18 and portray them in sexual situations

Thankfully

[quote] They can’t cast people under 18 and portray them in sexual situations

Not in public, of course.

But in private? That's another thing.

[quote]They can’t cast people under 18 and portray them in sexual situations

I know that. They also dislike casting people under 18 because they can only work half days and have to be schooled on set. But they can still cast people who are 18 or 19. Granted Cimino was probably 19 when they cast him, but they often cast much older people in teen shows. One of the guys playing a teen on 13RW was 34 on the final season.

R121 Stockard Channing was 33 playing 18 in Grease. Kerr Smith was 32 playing 16 on Dawson's Creek. Michael Cimino has no issues passing as a 17 year old on the show.

I would like to huff Michael’s taint and tongue-punch his fart box.

Thank you.

Ughhh pllease never use the words fart and box together again.

Victor is so much more likable than Simon.

There, I said it.

R122 Someone else (not me) said Michael looks 21. That's what I was replying to. I think he can pass for a teen. George, not so much.

Why are you fools bitching about age? Adults playing teens has been a thing since 1955’s Rebel Without a Cause, where the lead was 24.

It’s far from new.

R127 Nobody's bitching, Nicholas Ray. It's natural to talk about it when they're on the cover as themselves and not their characters. It's comparison.

I didn't know Michael had a tattoo.

[quote] Why are you fools bitching about age?

It was that IDIOT at R106 who started this stupid argument.

He/she was being a cunt, by commenting that Michael "looks 15 years old" and suggesting that we're all pedos for finding him hot.

I replied that Michael is 21 and LOOKS 21. That's all.

I reiterate, R106 must be an old fucking cunt, if he/she thinks that Michael looks 15.

Do you have to work on being so tedious or does it just come naturally, R129?

R115 = I fixed your response------------->>"It's Legal!!!....It's Legal!!....So I can excuse finding a 15 year old character hot because he is REALLY 21 and he seems so mature walking thru the High School halls....And the scene of him sitting in Chemistry Class was Golden Globe material!!...........doh!!!!

R129 You're right and he made me sit through that whole episode to see 20 seconds of that twink.

The huge mole on Michael's jawline is very distracting. He should do something about that.

R132 = Here is a longer video of mosty FELIX---- LISPING his way thru Bold and Beautiful. He cannot act---which might explain why he doesn't work there anymore......

I think Turpel is a pretty good actor, and I find his portrayal of Felix charming. He's like one of the only actors on the show who could actually pass for a high school junior.

Why don’t all actors universally proclaim themselves as Pan, like the Danes all wearing a yellow star during the Holocaust, and we can all just call it a day about their sexuality?

Turpel is adorable!

He looks a bit like Shawn Mendes.

Turpel? Wasn’t he in Fiddler on the Roof?

You have to wonder if Cimino was told to be vague about his sexuality, just to fan interest in the series.

R134 He's not that good, not that bad, he seems mediocre, and for some reason that's the type that gets the jobs these days. I think even on soaps they used to look for interesting younger actors but now it's just a type. Cute, uninteresting. Idk. I didn't hear him lisping, though.

Now that I’ve seen his luscious legs I’m even more eager to see Michael’s bussy.

Saw a cast video of them playing some silly game answering questions like who is least like his character, who throws the best parties, etc. and as they were chatting and joking about one thing and another Michael says, "I'm single" which was not the case before he stated shooting Season one. He had a girlfriend and she has now been purged from his Instagram account.

He’s young. They always break up.

For you, R141...

where are their hard on dick pics?

Girl has been working out.

The fact Michael is friends with Dallas Wade is probably the most interesting thing about him.

Michael Cimino has one of the sweetest faces I've ever seen on a guy.

He's a combination of innocence, sweetness, happiness.... it's weird. He just radiates positivity.

He's like a gentle little deer in the forest.

Adorbs.

No wonder his mother was so shocked when he was getting fucked in the ass by George Sear!

He has odd nipple placement and birthing hips, and is that a tat or a shadow on his right arm in the pic at r148? If it's a tat, that would be a deal-breaker for me if he wanted to hook up with me. I hate ink!

I'm sure if I made what he's making I'd smile like that too.

R148, I agree. And it’s cool that this very unmasculine young man is our new sex symbol.

But he can also look like sexy street trade, R152.

Rofl.

I think that's what's so confusing (and interesting) about him.

R150 He has a tattoo in the pic at the top of the thread.

He's cute, a little too pretty for me, he's not very sexy to me at all. Seems like a sweet boy.

Can we make a new category for him? DL Fave Bottom.

I do find it annoying that every time an actor plays a gay character they are asked about their own sexuality. Honestly, it shouldn't matter.

Michael Cimino is fucking gorgeous. George Sear needs a paper bag.

R133 because none of us have blemishes on our bodies.

THIS Dallas Wade, R147?

You're right. It's fascinating.

Why would this muscular athlete be friends with a relatively unknown twink actor who plays a gay kid?

Now that I know who Dallas Wade is (far left in pic at R159), I'm pretty sure that he wants to fuck the hell out of Michael Cimino's tight hole.

I feel sorry for Michael Cimino's tight little hole, if he and Dallas Wade ever hook up.

They would make a very unusual couple, huh?

So Cimino is a lock to play Alex Claremont-Diaz in the movie adaption of "Red, White & Royal Blue."

R162 oh are they doing a movie version of Red White & Royal Blue?

R163, eventually, yes. Amazon bought the rights to it.

R159 Yes, that Dallas Wade, the one with an OnlyFans.

It’s nice that both boys are vers.

[quote]If it's a tat, that would be a deal-breaker for me if he wanted to hook up with me. I hate ink!

My heart will go on r150.

I hope both of them are method actors and they went up inside each other as research.

How quaint. They named him after the director of the picture that killed United Artists.

That obnoxiously queeny Muslim is really annoying. As if anyone would prefer to fuck that over gorgeous masc Benji.

What are you talking about, R170?

You must be on the wrong thread.

I'd hardly describe Benji as masc. He's a musician. He's an artist and a barista.

Benji is overrated

Mia's white stepmother. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

R171 - The “Muslim” the poster is referring to is the little dark brown boy on the show.

He's Latino though, isn't he R175?

[quote] Benji is overrated

Woof woof!

Yes. He comes from a devout Muslim family, and guess what? He came out to them the other day, and his mother already knew since he was 12, LOL! and he has a brother and a father and everything is fine or at least very manageable, you know? He is just FINE.

Well sometimes they are fine r178

Grow up.

Behold Benji’s Bitches!

This thread is so funny in it's mediocrity. First Cimino looks like my 14 year old nephew that also plays basketball. He looks like many athletes and big framed guys in HS. Trust me I pick him up twice a week.

All the boys except the Muslim kid act like regular masculine guys. You must not hang with real men just women if you think otherwise. Very few men are hyper masculine and even fewer are effeminate.

R179, the character talked about coming from a DEVOUT Muslim family and how his parents immigrated from Iran. He also discussed how "we put up with the homophobia because they are our parents and we loved them, they sacrificed so much for us." All I'm saying is that I think either that character was overly optimistic about how his parents reacted, or he was lying about how his parents reacted.

There are out Muslim people. They exist.

Michael seems too short to be this incredible basketball player. Anthony would be more convincing in that role. It’s awkward to see Victor, this supposed incredible basketball player, next to Rahim and other guys on his team who could easily smack him down.

[quote]First Cimino looks like my 14 year old nephew that also plays basketball. He looks like many athletes and big framed guys in HS. Trust me I pick him up twice a week.

I'll just bet you did.

R183, I know that. Of course there are. But I also KNOW that especially in a first generation DEVOUT Muslim family, that coming out process doesn't go smoothly, and in fact it can be dangerous. Estrangement is always a strong possibility even if temporary. I believe the character put a gloss on it. It's bumpier than he lets on.

Frankly the Muslim guy's effortless coming out to his family reeked of pseudo-wokeness, reminding us that Islam is the "religion of peace." Although I enjoy the series because of its subject matter, it comes off as a propaganda tool at times.

As I said on the thread about the show, Michael tweeted he's 5'9". So he wouldn't be one of the taller HS basketball players around.

R187

Speaking from a loser who knows no Muslims IRL.

R189 thank you. They’re being ridiculous

R188

It’s worse that he’s supposed to be the best on the team, over Andrew and the other taller guys. Really?

Maybe he is the best shooter on the time. Especially in high school there will be good 5' 9" players.

Elite’s Muslin character has been gettin’ on in hot threeways in the lockeroom shower, this guy needs to be working the threeway angle with the two stud pups too.

R192, Victor shoots deep into my ass.

Just kidding—he’s my forever bottom.

They’re vers

Oops meant to write on the team.

[quote] Elite’s Muslin character has been gettin’ on in hot threeways in the lockeroom shower

Link, please!

R197 LPSG’s Elite thread has some good screen captures and gifs, stuff I can’t do. There’s one scene where the Muslim and the new guy are on their knees simultaneously blowing Anders and kissing each other. It the most porntastic thing I’ve ever seen on Netflix.

There are probably a ton of gifs from Elite's season four by now.

Actually its pretty obvious that the Muslim kid is lying, as it makes no sense that he'd call them ultra conservative and then say that, but the writing is so constantly off here that who really cares about yet another glaring absurdity?

Can someone post this at the Love Victor thread: It's paywalled. Thanks.

The problem I have is watching a jock throwing away zingers and whatnot like he's a drag queen. That scene with Rahim and Victor at the pedicure place and the coffee house scene are so cringe. Victor speaks exactly like the femme Muslim. No fucking way a jock, albeit out, would say stuff like 'did Tom Holland slide into your dm?' or all the quippy retorts he uses in that episode only. it's lazy writing, nothing in that episode makes sense; but i guess woke right.

Another thing that bothers me is just how unrealistic this jock is. It does sound like m/m fiction and the idea of someone who never played sports and what would happen to them if they were gay. Victor never talks about sports, gears, scores, teams, etc. What team does he support? No shirt, not even a phone case? Nothing. Kobe Bryant died last year and a high school basketball team said nothing, this is absurd.

It's hard to take this seriously. VIctor seems detached from his jock life, which could be explored as the alienation we feel playing sports in HS while being gay and closeted, I've been there. Instead we have two Victors that don't make sense. There's Victor with a beard/girlfriend, I get it, he's hanging with them, but we never see the camaraderie that sports bring. This coming out would've been way harder in real life, because Victor would be attached to his team. Here, he comes out, bye and we never see him again hanging with them, even after the equally laughable pink hair statement. It's like the jocks are there just as a reminder that this kid is a jock, even though he doesn't talk or behave like one at all. The father mentions he and Victor bounded over sports but nothing indicates this besides this exposition.

Throw some jerseys around, some sports lingo for crying out loud. Such talented show runners doing such a poor job. If you're gonna throw your jock into mannie peddie territory, at least make him sound like he's awkward and like he's still a jock. Every time Victor is with Rahim, even at the dramatic confrontation with his mom, he sounds like Rahim speaking with the femme kid's slang and retorts, that's cringe, just stop.

I was actually thinking at some point that Victor would drag at the club, that's how far fetched that episode went.

Last but not least, hire a gay or bi writer that played sports in high school, how hard can it be? Isn't Greg Berlanti married to a former soccer player who was closeted? Reach out to him, I'm not kidding, bring in some authenticity to this.

R200 That'd be too complex for the audience this is aimed at, which is mainly teenage girls. And they like their gays to be stereotypes, they don't want complexity, and they sure as fuck don't want real people.

And Robbie Rogers has been too busy producing that gay policeman film Harry Styles is in. Though, frankly, it does seem like he actually does talk like Victor does.

[quote]LPSG’s Elite thread has some good screen captures and gifs, stuff I can’t do. There’s one scene where the Muslim and the new guy are on their knees simultaneously blowing Anders and kissing each other. It the most porntastic thing I’ve ever seen on Netflix.

This is the gif.

IS that a fake penis they are sucking? This scene is awfully well done.

[quote] And Robbie Rogers has been too busy producing that gay policeman film Harry Styles is in. Though, frankly, it does seem like he actually does talk like Victor does.

Grab a coffee and ask about his experiences, is that too hard to do? Victor sounds like a regular masculine teen, my problem was the fact he's never seen doing anything sports related, never wears jerseys, etc we don't even know his team do we? Is it Lakers? Bulls? What?

The other issue being the sudden personality change when Rahim came into picture. Victor's retorts are 100% Rahim's and the writer's voice, not his.

......

Awwww

I need to see his cute little butt.

It's a stupid soap opera. The writing is ludicrous and hilariously inconsistent. Cotton candy for the mind. Just suspend disbelief like with the daytime soaps and don't think about it, and you'll enjoy it tons more.

Rahim is channeling Emory in a twisted bus and truck version of The Boys in the Band.

Anthony Keyvan says that Rahim didn't intend to get inbetween Victor and Benji but was trying to be a friend there for Victor during his relationship issues.

I don't see a penis in that gif, R202.

It's the tongue of the guy on the right.

R209, that's horseshit. The writers and the showrunners even talked about the "love triangle." Brian Tannem even said, or maybe one of the showrunners, that what else can you do. Once a couple fall in love there's not much story and it gets boing so they are going for "typical teen drama, etc." Now IMO that is pure lazy writers. They may be reconsidering since even Anthony Keyvan has been too scared to post on social media according to Isabella Fierrera because of the blowback. He gave a couple of interviews he ain't complaining. But the blowback has been intense. Here's the thing. There ought to be room for more than two Gay characters in the series. No reason why Rahim can't be a fiend who finds his own way. The fans are very clear. The like Rahim as a character. But thee is no way they will accept him breaking up the golden couple...or as many fans refer to "Venji" the comfort couple. I don't think when they measured the popularity of the show they ever considered how invested the fans would become. I don't know why they're surprised. They invested two damned years in building that couple up and they do have great chemistry.

BTW, I agree with R200.

I know r211 but I guess this was Anthony's way of trying explain, that at first Rahim was only trying to be a friend to Victor before he eventually started to develop feelings for him. Anthony has said that he wants Victor to pick the person that's right for him although he is slightly rooting for Rahim to be chosen.

I've seen a few posts from those who basically now want Rahim to be more of the central focus of the show instead of Victor.

Haven't you guys watched soaps long enough to know that Rahim is just a plot device character to keep star-crossed lovers Victor and Benjy apart before they ultimately reunite? If the writers actually cared about Rahim as a character, they wouldn't have his storyline with his parents take place completely off screen.

They should do a Love, Rahim spin-off.

Bebe Wood is the most interesting actor on the series. Too bad the writers prefer to concentrate on whiny, geriatric looking Rachel Hilson as the teen female lead.

Some people are referring to him as "Raher" because he's so flamboyantly queeny.

LOL! I saw an interview where Anthony said he wanted Victor to end up with Benji. Seriously.

I love Bebe. I think they may kill her off in Season 3. They had two scenes with Mia telling her she was a terrible driver

[quote] I love Bebe. I think they may kill her off in Season 3.

She's clearly set up to have a same sex relationship with that chick from the catering service, because they do read DL and many people here suggested they should get her a girlfriend because Becky Albertalli deserves to see herself in the show she inspired.

We love her.

[quote] Some people are referring to him as "Raher" because he's so flamboyantly queeny.

I don't get it.

It's Dawson's Creek 2.0. At least Cimino doesn't have a cereal box head.

Instead of RaHIM, they're calling him RaHER.

Duh, R219.

R219 RaHIM, RaHER

[quote]many people here suggested they should get her a girlfriend because Becky Albertalli deserves to see herself in the show she inspired.

R218 How would she see herself in that relationship?

Becky came out as bi last year. So this character is clearly bi too.

[quote] Instead of RaHIM, they're calling him RaHER. Duh, [R219].

I feel stupid that I didn't see this. Im high on kush so there's that too.

R223 Yeah, she came out as bi. I guess in that way she could see herself represented in the show. But she says she hasn't had a same sex relationship or even kissed a woman. So I guess I was thinking that if two girls on the show had a relationship, it wouldn't refect Becky's high school or later experience.

So after two seasons of no hint of attraction to women on the part of Lake, all of a sudden she's bisexual? Are they going to work her mommy issues in that?

That part was so unrealistic. Why would Lucy (literal who, just know her as Andrew’s ex) even want Lake, who clearly wasn’t into her. Makes no sense.

Bebe Wood is so good, she can probably sell the Lake is bi storyline, but it's really silly. I have a feeling they bringing Mia's mother on to start fucking Andrew behind Mia's back. Mason Gooding is sex on a stick.

IDK - it's been several days now and every time OP's pic comes through my thread, the first thing I automatically think is, "Wow, Michael Cimino is REALLY brown"! Like super brown. Brown as brown can be. Adorable, beautiful, but very brown.

Regarding the jock "controversy". To me, jocks are guys who not only practice sport, but also are in a "pack" with like-minded teammates. Even though we are told Victor is a fantastic player he doesn't really seem to be part of the team or any "pack" unless the story requires some lip service (the team dying their hair pink) or some banter pushing the story along (like Victor and Mia have broken up and talk has to go around school that Mia's a slut and cheated on Victor).

That's why the scene where Benji and his bandmates make fun of Andrew and jocks in general felt so out of place, because we never saw Benji put in the position to hang around with Victor's peers.

I just want Dallas Wade to smash Michael's tight brown ass on Onlyfans

I wasn't paying close attention. What episode did the Muslim guy come out to his family????

R228 the brown is great. Very hot on him.

R200 Greg Berlanti is not attached to the tv show. Which might explain the missteps, cringey moments and lack of thought for what being a gay jock means. These didn’t really happen in Love Simon which was much more surefooted and poised.

Michael Cimino passed away a few years ago.

George Sear looks like Jonathan Jackson.....But Jonathan can act.

R200 that episode was I believe written by the show's EP and some of it like Rahim getting rejected for being too fem was based off experience the show's EP had irl.

Michael reminds me of a young Ralph Macchio.

Wake me when Victor and Felix start fucking.

YES!!!! R237, I had not thought of that!!!!!

Looking at his photos, George reminds me of a better looking, younger Michael Pitt.....before he wrecked himself with drugs.

Michael also looks like a young Taika Waititi without the mustache.

George would make a beautiful go-go boy. He could get rich off lap dances.

R230, I don’t know what he’s doing nowadays on OF, but when I was subscribed to Dallas Wade, he was just having sex with women and showing his asshole a lot. It was kinda hot, but not for his prices.

Michael also looks like a young Rob Reiner, if Michael were white, tall, fat, bald, unattractive, and Jewish,

Rob Reiner didn't even look like a young Rob Reiner.

Michael and George are the hottest onscreen couple since Timmy and Armie.

True r245, and between the two of them Michael and George actually possess more than one chin!

There is a Rob Reiner troll? Where was he during the heyday of the Sally Struthers thread?

Michael is smoking hot. George is a little weird looking. Handsome, but not mega good looking.

And together they’re great but I think Simon and Bram were a cuter couple.

Is Genji the new Nuke? The new Wilson?

Still no dick pics?

I don't think George is all that hot, and he's *extremely* short. And also slight. But seems very nice. Michael has really beautiful eyes. He's handsome, not really in a sexy way, more of a clean cut, nice-boy way.

I’d like to see their naughty bits.

[quote] when I was subscribed to Dallas Wade, he was just having sex with women and showing his asshole a lot.

Rofl. He's a BOTTOM!

I hope he's not expecting to get fucked by Michael Cimino, because he's a bottom too!

Btw, Dallas Wade seems very fem for a "butch" athlete type.

Looks like he has a huge head on that cock, though.

Dallas is a big GURLEENA.

I'm not surprised he made friends with Michael Cimino.

But he really does seem to be barking up the wrong tree.

Michael is a pretty little bottom twink who will NEVER fuck Dallas.

R253/255 - Michael Cimino is straight. Straight guys are tops. Ergo Michael is a top.

There’s zero evidence he’s gay, just wishful thinking.

R256, he’s talked in the past about being unsure about his sexuality and he’s avoided pronouns when discussing a previous relationship. He will come out as bi or gay within the next 5 years.

r255 Dallas does have a feminine side but I doubt he would pass up Michael presenting his hole with toes pointed to the ceiling. Like you'd have to be 100% bottom to not dive into that

R258 for sure. Like I think you’d need to be 150% bottom. Who’d turn down that ass?

R257 I figured that was gaybaiting. Straight actors do it all the time now

Michael also announced during an interview, "I'm single!"

R260 But did he say “And ready to mingle!”

[quote] Michael Cimino is straight. Straight guys are tops. Ergo Michael is a top.

OMG.

Wrong. Wrong. And WRONG.

Three strikes. You're OUT, bitch!

Gurl.....

Mason and Michael have amazing chemistry

He is so cute at R263.

I am in love with this guy.

Mason has a great profile and an OK face, full on.

......

Michael is also a vegan.

What an infectious smile he has. He radiates positive energy.

He looks like he’d be fun in bed and then would want to cuddle afterwards.

[quote] Michael is also a vegan.

No he's not!

He's been fucked MANY, many times.

^Am I missing something? What does being a vegan have to do with having sex? Perhaps you misread "vegan" and "virgin"?

R272, are you new to Datalounge and/or the internet?

I thought he was from Nevada, a Las Vegan.

Michael Cimino is only worth 200,000, which is poor in Hollywood....I wonder what he does for extra money?

Mikey is a power bottom? Who knew.

I need eye bleach after looking at the pic at r276.

^ Why? Are you a homophobic cunt R277?

R277 I heard he likes to get pegged by fat chicks so ya still have a chance.

Damn! That's a great capture from the video. I had no idea George was really between his legs and his knees were up. That's a petty convincing simulation. Because George was grinding. I'm surprised they went that far. And when his mother came in I thought he grabbed a blanket but it was the pillow. Yeah. Great picture. Mike's got some real nice long legs. And I do love the look of George . He looked damned serious.

R277 is Michael Cimino's mother!

R276 Where's that from? It's not from the show itself, so unless it's from some behind the scenes thing, it's fake.

THREAD SUMMARY = Old Queens drooling over HIGH SCHOOL TEEN BOY CHARACTERS because the ACTORS are of legal age.......Surely the GAY COMMUNITY can do better than some of you posters?

Get back in your scooter and just DRIVE AWAY, Grandma at R283!!!

Crotchety old bitch!

r283 you are lusting just as much as anyone else or you wouldn't have clicked on the thread! BYE GURL, HAVE A NICE DAY!

^^ R283 Fat middle age Karen drooling over gay teen boy characters surely the FRAU COMMUNITY can do better?

R282 Karen.... Google: SCREEN SHOT

[quote][R276] Where's that from? It's not from the show itself, so unless it's from some behind the scenes thing, it's fake.

An old Instagram Live at the 9:33 mark.

R283 Why does a middle age straight woman come to a gay gossip website and scold gay viewers of a gay themed TV show that she has obviously never seen?😵

MENTAL HEALTH HOTLINE 800-634-4265 24 hours.

R289 = I am actually a GAY MAN who is grossed out by OLD QUEENS who drool over TEEN MALE CHARACTERS (who are 15 years old)----and excuse their behavior because the actor is of "legal" age....Didn't we already do this with Timothee?....

^^^ Sure Karen.

R291 = Kevin Spacey?...

R290 Didn't you already do this with Little Caesar's?...

Are people actually saying Michael Cimino isn't gay in real life?

well....Michael said so.....

I can tell by his body language with Mason that he's submissive

R285 = I DID click on the thread (which wrongly implies a simple magazine cover story thread). But then the drooling and shirtless pix took this thread to a whole pervy level. That's not MY fault. I didn't make anyone post how hot they find high school characters. I did get a little grossed out about it tho. Call Dr. Phil....LoL

Well we're not going to drool over old queens, honey.

R299 = Calling another man (or every man) Honey is quite a behavioral stereotype. Do you snap your fingers and say "Yazzz Hunty" too?...LoL

R282 R283 R290 R292 Types like a TRIGGERED KAREN

R300 Tanyaka get your smelly pussy back to Lipstick Alley.

R300 Actually I never called anyone honey before in my entire life,but it seemed appropriate this one time.

Oh and thanks for the video I'll never watch.

If he were my boyfriend I’d nickname him El Camino Real and I would ride that royal highway incessantly.

[quote] If he were my boyfriend I’d nickname him El Camino Real and I would ride that royal highway incessantly.

I believe they renamed it the "Hershey Highway."

Okay now he’s not just young and unsure, he’s an active gay bottom who’s been taking loads of dick. I mean, maybe? Or more likely not.

Anyway, even if he is gay I get more top vibes from him, even if he is twinky.

Mason is honestly more my type. I want his dick inside of me. I bet he has a nice one too.

Why can't people just enjoy a movie or TV show and not obsess about the actors' real sexual identity?

How many TV shows have had a gay male teen as the lead/title character, and are about that kid exploring his sexual identity? And we're not supposed to talk about the sexual identity of the actors? Grow up please.

R290 what’s wrong with you? These actors are in their 20s and most of them are very very obviously so to the point they can’t remotely pass as high schoolers.

Yeah we’re attracted to them, big deal.

But why can't you just try not to be attracted to handsome guys? Why are you interested in their sexual identities? Why can't you deny your sexual urges? What are you, homos, or something?

Personally, I am homo AND something.

R287 You're a dense cunt, aren't you? A screenshot of what? It's not a screenshot from the show.

R288 Um - no it isn't. That was before season two even started filming.

The insta live doesn’t have that photo so I assume it’s a photoshopped thing

Ah, it's from the end of episode 7, not the start of episode 8. Why one of you useless cunts couldn't just say that, and why the screenshot is such shitty quality is beyond me.

^^ A lot is beyond you hon.

R313 If you don't watch the show why the fuck are you here.? Drop the piazza and shell out 6.99 for Hulu. Cheap fat frau.

[quote]If you don't watch the show why the fuck are you here.?

TBH I dont watch any of these bullshit shows either, Im just here for the tea on the pretty twink and hot boy actors 🤷🏽‍♂️

Mason Adams is so hot. I want to lick his face and body.

r319 you mean Mason Gooding?

.... ...

[quote]Mason Adams is so hot. I want to lick his face and body.

[quote][R319] you mean Mason Gooding?

This is DL, of course they mean Mason Adams.

Love, Victor isn’t the type of show to be nominated for Emmys, but if it were, which cast members would be most likely to be nominated? I’d go with the moms: Ana Ortiz and Betsy Brandt.

Same, R323. I wonder if there is some ensemble nomination for the cast? Because they did a good job. I think Felix in particular

Ana is the only cast member doing any real acting. The kids are ok, especially Bebe Wood, but she feels very tongue in cheek at times. I wonder what they could possibly do Ana's character now that she and Victor's father have reconciled. I smell a late-in-life pregnancy as her next storyline, and all the drama related to that.

I'd nominate Mason Gooding and Bebe Woods.

I'd nominate Charlie Hall for his nuanced performance of a high school athlete who came to accept his friend's homosexuality.

Michael is a sweet petty thing, but he has an overbite with those two huge front teeth, and he looks like a chipmunk. George you wouldn't even have to tell me he's British. he has to get his teeth capped. At least cap the fucking canines. He is a snaggletooth right up there with Kirsten Dunst.

R322 Mason Adams is chicken to most of the posters on this thread.

R328 Go soak your dentures.

Some pretty funny shade being thrown in these Cimino threads today.

Maybe they could put Mason Dye on this show.

R328 Why do you call Michael petty, I see nothing in his interviews to justify such a dismissive comment?

Ana Ortiz is good as usual.

R317 Yes, how dare I have not memorised every single scene. By the way, you couldn't point out where it came from either. So by your own standards that must mean you didn't watch it either.

[quote] Yes, how dare I have not memorised every single scene.

The scene in question was a pretty memorable one, though.

And I remembered it from episode 8, just didn't immediately remember that particular angle was shown at the end of episode 7.

They should’ve made the sex scenes more educational. They showed lube in the cabin episode, but there was never any explanation or preparation so the sex scene was so unrealistic.

[quote]They should’ve made the sex scenes more educational.

What aspects of sex do you need to be educated about r338?

R339

Young gaylings are watching the show.

[quote]so the sex scene was so unrealistic

Especially given how uptight Victor is. You just know any sex scene with him would feature the lines "more lube" and "is the condom still on?" over and over, while he just lays there.

Disappointing we didn’t get a douche preparation scene. That would’ve been interesting, helpful, and possibly humorous.

R328 MC does not have an overbite. You’re being silly

R342 There was already that big how to douche scene in Sex Education last season, I’m just happy that Benji didn’t have to send him to the bathroom to clean up like in It’s A Sin.

[quote]Young gaylings are watching the show.

And it is notorious how free gay porn is unavailable to "young gaylings".

R345

Porn isn’t that educational, it really doesn’t teach you about preparation.

There would at least be some comedy they could've got from that, but nope - that's what happens with straight people in charge.

For the edification of the gaylings.

I'm sure a drama that teaches teens how to have gay sex, down to the last detail, would have NO problem with the network or parents.

R349 That’s the difference between a TV show and a streaming show, someone on the Handmaid’s Tale thread could seem to understand the difference as well.

R350 Sometimes it gets confusing where I see TV shows, but that could just be because I have a life. Idk.

I can't believe grown gay men obsessing over a low-IQ series aimed squarely at teenage girls. Frankly, I'm embarrassed for you.

R352 lol then check yourself, you posted 38 times in the thread.

..........

OMG, the show doesn't feature a play-by-play manual of how to use a double-headed dildo? DISNEY FAILED US AGAIN!!! DAMN YOU, DISNEY!!!! *shaking fist*

Oh, Abandoned Gay Youth you have stumbled into the Datalounge.

There are many here who will be glad to teach you SO MUCH about gay sex.

IS this thread the birth of Michael Cimino threads ?? It feels like this is the birth of a new DL fave twink.

This twink needs to transform into a twunk before I pay him any serious notice as a FB.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Too late. Bets are open.

Michael Cimino will be our new crown prince, until we find someone better.

R359You need to have your gaydar checked

[R359]I forgot the brackets. See above.

Venji is my oxygen. I live for them. Could they be more adorbs?

^ But dubious about a 17yo still answering to Benji.

....

R319 - Mason Reese?

Michael has a roommate who's a photographer and they hang out with Dwayne. In fact the photographer is the guy who shot the photos of Micheal with all the make up sitting in a bathtub. His name is Austin. Michael has some shady looking friends, and a couple of them look like rough trade.

Michael needs some tub photos like Dylan Geick did.

George has gay face, deff not straight.

Here's Austin's IG account.

All I know is I felt actual hostility towards Ana Ortiz when she burst into the bedroom and interrupted them. I sure as shit hope they get a chance to finish in Season 3. Even if they have to go to HBO to do it.

R371, don’t worry—we finished!

Hunny, Michael claims he got tips from his Gay friends, but I don't think he really need much advice.

Speaking of finishing, these are teenagers. They won't take that long to finish. I mean it's not like watching a porn video where they can just keep running the fucking part on a continuous loop. I'd say three or four minutes tops, once it's in.

Thought the karaoke scene was adorable.

Boardners is one of the oldest straight bars in Hollywood.

[quote]Michael claims he got tips from his Gay friends

I imagine he got a few shafts as well.

I don't know why the showrunners persisted with the whole Atlanta line. They didn't even pretend they were in Atlanta. They could have used B roll for exteriors, but they decided to shoot everything in Cali so why not just say so. Instead of Victor moving to Atlanta send his ass to Pasadena or Glendale, or WTF ever. It would have made more sense than ATL since they were coming from Texas.

And they need to abandon the sweet meek Latino kid image of Victor and give him more sex vibes, because you get glimpses of him being sexy, but they need to turn it up full blast. And if he does end up hooking up with Rahim, I hope Rahim has a huge Persian dick that scares the piss out of Victor.

[quote]I hope Rahim has a huge Persian dick that scares the piss out of Victor.

Me too r378!

R378 R379 I maybe slow, are those legit things?

R378 It's the connection to Love, Simon - and Vicki Albertalli is from Atlanta. But I agree with you.

Cimino is cute, but he is totally miscast as an all-star jock basketball player. Guys like that are generally overly cocky, alpha, douchebro types who strut around like peacocks, no matter what their orientation.

[quote] Guys like that are generally overly cocky, alpha, douchebro types who strut around like peacocks, no matter what their orientation.

Victor can have a bit of an edge sometimes, though.

And not everyone has to fit a stereotype. Thank God.

Thinking of you, Rahim.

George, Michael, and Anthony Turpel (Felix) did Instagram live and you can catch it on You Tube, and Michael mentioned he is in Atlanta ight now but didn't say why, but he has done another photo shoot and I really like it. Really like it. He said it was his fist high fashion shoot. And tomorrow George, Michael, and the Rahim guy are going to be together on Instagram live. I will be interested to see their dynamic, because I have a feeling Anthony Keyvan is not at all comfortable with the gang. I doesn't come across well in interviews.

LOrdy, that mole on his MC's face is super-distracting. Can't he get that removed?

I*'m sorry but these pictures are gorgeous. They ae really high end. Damn. He looks beautiful.

Those Bambie eyes!

The last one is my favorite. Second fav is the profile with the black leather jacket. He's a beauty.

Bitch stole my act.

Y'all! Y'all ain't right...but I love you!!!!!!!
