Vintage Beef: Chris Atkins in "A Night in Heaven"

One of the very first guys I found attractive. I was really young but couldn’t keep my eyes off him. Not much of an actor but looked sensational.

The bitch didn't even tip him!

Vintage beef? Who was he arguing with?

I prefer that Gregory Harrison stripper movie, my god that scene alone in the opening credits of Trapper John M.D. where the shower door bounces open used to make me swoon.

I loved Christopher Atkins in this movie, cause he was naked at one point. His sex scene with Lesley Ann Warren still gets me off.

Knock yourself out. I shed much protein.

I loved the scene where the husband takes Christopher onto the boat and forces him to strip naked. First entry in " A Night in heaven."

He was so sexy in the stripping scene, but in the sex scene where he is shot so much in profile, you see he has a surprisingly weak chin.

The sex scene is hilarious. Lesley Ann Warren is so over-the-top seems to be already orgasming almost as soon as he just touches her at the beginning, but then when she's REALLY supposed to be orgasming she overdoes it so much you'd think her head is about to explode (like in "Scanners").

Should Lesley Ann Warren have had a better movie career? Or did she have exactly the career she was meant for? I know that clip is supposed to be about Christopher Atkins, but I can't keep my eyes off her.

At his best Chris Atkins never had a body anyone could consider "beefy". He was always a skinny waif who looked like he was in desperate need of a good meal.

One thing about him: he was never afraid to show it all.

I went to the same gym as him back in his Blue Lagoon Days. He would come to the gym with a huge entourage and even a Swami. Perhaps all that fame and attention had gone to his head

I’ve always loved Christopher Atkins. His stardom was fairly unique in that he and his handlers knew explicitly that his appeal was sexual in nature. Back in his day usually only women were treated this way. This is why he became an instant gay icon and wank idol, and remains one to this day. Most mainstream attractive young male actors are pretentious as hell…not Atkins. He loved being a Sex Symbol and showed off his body in every medium available. Blue Lagoon, nudie beefcake posters, the Playgirl spread, Dallas, the teen mags and of course A Night In Heaven. Granted his shelf life as a “star” was very brief. He got universally terrible reviews for everything he did. But what he offered was pretty potent while it lasted.

Very hot

R13 He did Playgirl? Full spread?

R15 Yes he did a Playgirl spread. Didn’t show peen but he did have a magnificent ass. That’s all I needed. Un-cropped photos from the layout came out decades later that showed cock. He used to sell them on his website!

And of course other full frontal nude photos that he posed for years after his Playgirl layout are all over the net. Chris Atkins is an equal opportunity flasher ha ha!

R12 More detail please. A Swami? That sounds hilarious. Like an SNL parody or something.. Please tell more. Who else was in the entourage?

The whole show...

You should start a new thread, R9. Would be interesting to discuss LAW. I always liked her.

OP- Christopher Atkins ca. 1982 was totally slim and boyish looking- there was NO beef

[quote] loved Christopher Atkins in this movie, cause he was naked at one point. His sex scene with Lesley Ann Warren still gets me off.

I still remember watching that scene for the first time! I was 14 or 15 and almost came on the spot, which would have been mortifying as I was watching it with others.

He shows erect peen in that movie. Go Chris!

He sold uncensored images of himself online? What must his daughter think?

She's happy for the 💰

Chris gave many a gay a Happy Ending.

R20 Yeah if you’re comparing him to Stallone or Schwarzenegger. Actually by Hollywood standards of the day, his body was considered fairly beefy. Especially for a teen idol. Certainly the term “beefcake” was used a lot in write-up’s of him back then. Same with Matt Dillon or Rob Lowe or any number you could name at the time.That veiny, muscly roided-up look that is still so prevalent today only came into vogue a couple of years later.

Besides many of us prefer a slimmer look. He was hardly emaciated.

R26 Not all of us want a brainless ham hock like Stallone. Atkins always came across as sensitive and good-natured, with dreamy eyes.

Didn't women and homos of that era also like Shaun Cassidy and Andy Gibb for the same reason?

R23 Apparently she was just fine with it. There’s video footage of her at one of those autograph shows selling signed nudes of her dad right along side him.

R27 Exactly.

When I was 12, that was the holy grail of VHS tapes to sneak to rent when I was pretending to be sick from school. Atkins was hot as motherfuckin' SHIT yo.

Atkins entire career was a smorgasbord of fap material.

Thank you, Chris, for all your onanistic contribution! Love love love you.

This is the weird movie that shows the husband driving home on a weird Vespa and the opening song is Bryan Adams’ “Heaven.”

He’s the original gorgeous twink.

[quote]Your stepmom knows him from The Blue Lagoon, but your gay uncle knows Christopher Atkins from this forgotten sex romp...

I feel seen. As it so happens, Atkins was my VERY first crush, even before I understood that I was gay. I would've been 9 the first time I saw it, either on HBO or Skinemax (both of which my single-parent mother who worked 50-hour weeks subscribed to in order to keep me & my brother occupied after school - she didn't know we stayed up well after midnight to watch them until I was an adult). A couple of years later – after Atkins started his role as Sue Ellen's boytoy on "Dallas," by which point I knew I wanted cock and was furiously wanking multiple times a day – Atkins became some of my most prized wank material.

My crush went away by the late '80s, but then I happened to stumble across a used VHS copy of "A Night In Heaven" for sale somewhere. SCHWING! Got right back into spanking it to Atkins' oh-so-sweet ass and (flaccid) dick banging his teacher in absurdly cheesy fashion. I think I *still* have that tape somewhere!

As for his physical characteristics: no, he wasn't some muscle jock, but he had all the HOT TO DEATH characteristics of a hot twink, and had a basically perfect swimmer's build. OTOH I've since mostly lost interest in him given his fairly small-to-average cock size.

This thread is giving me sweet sweet LIFE today. Thanks chums!

Gaze all you want at the tender young flesh.

Chris Atkins was possibly the first teen idol to acknowledge his gay fans in the mainstream press, back in the day when his career was at it’s peak. It’s almost chic now. Trust me, in the 80’s it was rare!

That difference was HUGE for me. It felt like permission to masturbate to him. Up until the late 70’s/ early 80’’s, us gay boys were used to having to negotiate our sexual fantasies around the men who were marketed to women, and tentatively at that. Not Chris. He was remarkably unpretentious that way. I’ve always loved him for that.

I know this is a Christopher Atkins thread, but just want to acknowledge R4 and agree that Gregory Harrison was one fucking hot, beautiful man. Handsome face, great body, appears tall (Google says 5'11"), the whole package. Hell, even today at 71 it still looks like he's holding up pretty well. Just sayin', a young Gregory Harrison...SWOON! 🤤😈❤️

R39 Chris A and Greggers were BOTH my go-to wank objects at that time.

Not my type, I like brunettes and not so pretty faced, but the scene was pretty hot, especially that kiss...I hope she wasn't charged extra for that though*

[quote] OP- Christopher Atkins ca. 1982 was totally slim and boyish looking- there was NO beef

You have to remember that at that time his was the physical ideal. In 1982, people still wanted male pinups to be androgynous and angelic: blond curls were a huge thing at that time in male stars (look also at how big Leif Garrett and Andy Gibb and Peter Frampton were in the very late 70s and very early 80s). Sylvester Stallone was very muscular, but he was considered an exception. Most of the major porn stars from this time like Lance and Leo Ford were also blond, and would be considered on the skinnier side today

Everything changed around 1983-84 when AIDS became much better known and much more feared. That was when the extremely muscular body started to become a big deal, because it looked so healthy and the body looked almost like it was supplying its own armor. Schwarzenegger became the biggest name star of action films and Stallone became even more famous; in mainstream gay porn, the androgynous look gave way to the men with big muscles, like Tom Brock and Ryan Idol. There was a huge aesthetic change.

His part in It's My Party was strange. One scene, a flashback of him being hot, and then he dies from AIDS.

I used to see Chris naked at nude Black's Beach in San Diego laying out and playing volleyball. He used to go fairly frequently. The cock was out always.

I love it when hot exhibitionists find acceptable outlets, and show appreciation for ALL the attention they attract.

R45 Atkins really did manage to flash that pretty ass everywhere-magazines, movie screens, television-and apparently in real life as well!

R4 / R40 Seems to me, Gregory deserves a Vintage Beef appreciation thread all his own. I'm almost afraid to think of him during a fap, for fear of feverishly, excitedly ripping off my dick by accident. 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

The How Did This Get Made episode on this movie might just be the most uproarious one ever. Unfortunately, I can't find an active link for it.

[quote] you see he has a surprisingly weak chin.

SMH

R48 Sadly, those rat bastards put most of their episodes behind a paywall. And that shit's not entertaining enough to pay actual money to enjoy.

The husband was a beefy stud

The boy couldn't help it.

I read this as Chet Atkins. I feel like such an eldergay, but I’m just a 25-year old guitar picker.

tiny wang and he looks like a little bit too much like ricky shroeter.

I saw this movie a few days ago. Abismal. Nowhere near as hot as they made it out to be. CA isn't even that hot and he isn't even credible or strong as this hot seductor, he acts like a highschool kid which isnt sexy at all (in the end he's shown up to be just that by LAW's hubby. Even during the sex scene it seemed it was mostly her doing all the work and that it was good mostly because she needed dick, not because he was so good on bed.

The kiss in the strip scene was hot but then the guy started kissing other women in the audience and that completely made it lose it's magic. Blegh.

(Full disclosure, I'm a frau so maybe the Christopher Atkin's thing is lost on me. )

He was creepy on Dallas. Creepy as fuck.

Why does every thread about a celebrity end with assholes coming on to slime someone else’s taste in men? It’s like some people get off on being boner killers.

[quote] Why does every thread about a celebrity end with assholes coming on to slime someone else’s taste in men? It’s like some people get off on being boner killers.

It's DL. There are many posters who are miserable and dissatisfied with their lives, so their opinions are always negative. It's how they cope.

R57 if you're refering to me (post R55), I just gave my personal opinion based on my personal taste and I was critiquing the film more than anything, not CA. Chill. And if ypu like what you like proudly, my opinion should not matter.

R60 It doesn’t. Opinions are like assholes. Everyone’s got one. You’re missing my point. R59 nailed it.

Clearly my opinion matters to you if you're in agreement with R59 who's making it personal.

I was speaking more of DL posting in general, which is generally mean-spirited and negative. Being assholes just for the sheer spite of it. Which I can’t believe a happy person does. That’s what R59 addressed. I will concede that your post wasn’t particularly spiteful. And I actually agree with you that Christopher Atkins probably appealed more to gay men than he ever did to straight women.

But I can honestly say I have never gone on a post to dump all over someone else’s sexual taste. I don’t get that. If that makes me a Pollyanna or holier-than-thou, so be it.

R55 isn't there a Doterra thread on Reddit you should be posting on? Fuck off, Frau.

I saw this twice at the movies when it first came out. I was 12 and I remember being disappointed that his dick looked tiny.

r65 He was probably the first guy I ever jerked off to! I loved his tiny dick! It looked exactly the same as my dick did at that age and wasn't it huge and intimidating to me! I even stood in front of the mirror and tried to recreate his playgirl pose!

His greatest allure was to dirty old men. And horny gay teenagers.

I was a dirty young man and oved his nudity.

^loved.

CA was an exhibitionistic cherub. The trash he started in was absolutely perfect for his appeal.

But he was hardly the original twink.

[quote]I saw this movie a few days ago. Abismal. Nowhere near as hot as they made it out to be.

And Joan Tewkesbury is the credited screenwriter. Now, even really good writers have their misfires, but I don't think she could miss THIS badly. I have a feeling the movie that ended up getting released was far from what she was trying to do with this material and what she initially turned in. That 84-minute run time is suspicious in itself.

I haven't seen ANIH since the '80s, but I suspect it started out as a serious effort to deal with its subjects and characters, the studio wanted to market it as something else, and it got sliced and diced. It might not have been a great movie either way, but it became a far worse one.

That's all separate from the matter-of-taste questions of Atkins's attractiveness or suitability for the role of the stripper. I don't think he was ever a strong actor, but I see why they wanted his physical type for this.

R70 He may have not been the original (twink), but he sure had the prettiest ass.

If he's beef he's more like a hamburger. But cute.

To this day, I still respect Christopher Atkins and Richard Gere for going full-frontal on-screen.

Smart decision, because we're STILL talking about them and those moments.

When I saw "Vintage" I thought OP was referring to Claude Atkins.

He really was so damn sexy

Okay so going back to his heyday-rim, suck or fuck?

Definitely rim.

Damn you, Christopher Atkins! You made me spill my seed!!

R79 I should have officially changed my name to Onan.

I jacked off so many times to Christopher Atkins and Gregory Harrison as a teenager. I want to thank them for their service.

I had an Us magazine with a feature about Gregory Harrison’s stripper TV movie. This photo was in it. I had just learned to jerk off, and spent many hours locked in the bathroom with that magazine.

R81 Me too! They were both my main sources of “inspiration”. What did you jack off to with Chris Atkins?

That photo above of GH is a j/o classic and I used it many times myself.

Never saw the big deal about him.

Chris and Gregory were both definitely my early pop-culture crushes. I even skipped school one day to try and see this silly stripper movie, but they wouldn't let me in because I wasn't 18. (I was so pissed!)

He certainly isn't shy.

I might buy one of his posters for old times sake.

One more.

R85 Wow, there was a time when they actually checked the age of ticket buyers?! Where did you live?

It was all I could do to not whip it out and start jacking off right in the theatre when I saw A Night In Heaven. I managed to restrain myself lol. Truly TERRIBLE movie but prime Atkins beefcake. It was all good though, I knew I had his Playgirl issue back home waiting for me to uh, release the tension.

What's kind of shocking to me is how busy he's consistently been. Looking at his IMDB page, and he's had multiple movies and roles every single year... but I've never heard of them.

[quote]Wow, there was a time when they actually checked the age of ticket buyers?! Where did you live?

I'm not the original poster, but that did happen to me too. I think it depended less on where someone lived than with how much of a stickler the person at the ticket counter was. The one to which I remember being denied entry was Angel Heart with Mickey Rourke and Lisa Bonet. I had seen other R-rated movies with no issue, such as the Elm Street entry that was out the same year.

I just used a fake ID. They were easy to get back then.

Nice to see Christopher still getting work. He was charming as hell on that teen idol makeover show.

[quote]Wow, there was a time when they actually checked the age of ticket buyers?! Where did you live?

Well there was a ratings system for a reason, and yes they did check, or notice, the age of ticket buyers. I was never asked for an ID but was denied entrance to R rated movies that I tried to go to when I was 14 or 15.

Yeah he needs a Quentin Tarantino type to give him a shot at a mainstream release. His movies are overall pretty bad. He still looks hot in some of them though!

I wonder if he’d still bare his ass after all these years?

Honey, he shows D for $100.

You'd think he'd be a good enough actor after all that practice that someone would give him a shot in a more mainstream movie. I haven't seen or heard of any of the things he's done in the last 20 years, but at least he's keeping busy.

R85 I remember that. I still think it is hot picture.

He recently-2019 I think?-played a stripper in something called For Ladies Only . On a tour in Australia. Sounds like it was a Full Monty derivative.

Anywho, in an interview where he was asked why he took the role, he said:”Because I get to show my butt again!.”

He’s still taking his clothes off for our voyeuristic pleasures after all these years!

Looking back at 'A night in heaven' the husband was WAAAAAAAAAY hotter than Atkins could ever hope to be.... the husband was a MAN, atkins a boy....

I will say atkins and warren's hotel lovemaking scene was pretty scorching especially for it's time, basically late night cable soft porn complete with quick shots of atkin's erection! I always wondered though in regards to this scene, we're we the audience suppose to think that either 1) atkin's character had such a great dick and such great lovemaking technique to make warren's character react and orgasm so monumentally OR 2) that she was so damn horny any man's could have made her orgasm and react the way she did when she orgasmed and any man shot in her?...

thoughts?

R100 Dude you need to speak for yourself. This is a thread about Chris Atkins, so chances are we are here because we find him hot. Why come in here to shit all over someone else’s sexual taste? If you need to go start a Robert Loggia thread, go right ahead.

R100, you're overthinking trash that only people that wanted to see Chris naked bothered to see.

And it's Robert Logan.

I shot so much cum over this movie that I could have populated a city. The anticipation as Chris starts to strip.... It was all too much for a 15 year old gayling. I wanted Chris Atkins body so bad.

R101.. R100 here: . and that is exactly what I did, I spoke for myself and I am entitled to my opinion and I stand by it....

I didn’t say you weren’t entitled to your opinion. It takes all kinds. I objected to how dogmatically you stated it. I think Chris Atkins is way sexier than Robert LOGAN. There.

R105.. will agree to disagree. I like M-E-N who are masculine handsome mature manly and built (i.e. robert logan), unlike a 170 pound boyish man (atkins) that looks like he could be broken in half like a twig...

Move along gramps. No one cares about your taste in men. This is a Christopher Atkins thread.

R107 and yet you want everyone to know about your taste in Atkins.... just saying...

ciao for now...

Ciao forever. Blocked.

[quote]He shows erect peen in that movie. Go Chris!

What movie? If you mean A NIGHT IN HEAVEN, I don't think so, though there is a VERY brief full-on flash of his flaccid penis in the sex scene, before the actual sex begins.

R110. for old DLers, that was an erection.

Again, judge for yourself.

Hmm, okay, R112, I guess maybe it's semi-hard. That shot in the film lasts for maybe two seconds at most, so it's easier to judge it from the screen cap :-)

Doesn't matter if it's hard or soft, the scene in the film is very hot and I would get down on my knees to suck his dick any day.

Too much time out in the sun. Now he looks like dry aged beef. Let this be a warning, gaylings.

He still looks good, sun damaged or not.

His dick isn't that big soft- that's a semi at least. God love him 🍆.

[quote]Doesn't matter if it's hard or soft, the scene in the film is very hot and I would get down on my knees to suck his dick any day.

Agreed :-)

R114 While you’re sucking his cock I’m going to get behind him and give him a good rim job-if that’s okay?

[quote][R114] While you’re sucking his cock I’m going to get behind him and give him a good rim job-if that’s okay?

We can switch off several times. I believe in equal opportunities.

I remember that, when THE BLUE LAGOON was first released, some gossip reached the newspapers that Atkins and director Randal "No-Talent" Kleiser had become VERY close during the filming. I expect a lot of time and effort was spent in getting Chris's loincloth to fit JUST right.

atkins in "blue lagoon" was sexier than atkins in "a night in heaven' (minus the soft porn fuck scene in the hotel)....

talk about soft porn with atkins in that white mesh loin cloth thong, sunlit, tanned, lean muscle body, the golden ringlet hair and the camera focusing on him erotically and lovingly...

Enjoy all of him.

Why would anyone want to rim this?

Or this?

Interesting that Atkins was willing to do all this nudity at the time when he was a rising up and comer coming off a golden globe nom for BL. I’m unsure what his manager and handlers were thinking. It pretty much pigeonholes you into the himbo type. And lo and behold it did. Atkins was the equivalent 40 years ago of what Channing Tatum is now, even though Tatum never showed cock. Atkins has said nudity wasn’t a big deal in his family, so he had no qualms about shedding clothes when he did. And he’s worked non stop, albeit in z grade shit films.

[quote]And he’s worked non stop...

There's the key.

[quote]Apparently she was just fine with it. There’s video footage of her at one of those autograph shows selling signed nudes of her dad right along side him.

Met him at CHILLER, I have "The Blue Lagoon" and "The Pirate Movie" signed (Kristy too!).

On "The Blue Lagoon" DVD director Randall Kleiser and Chris do a commentary. Kleiser stated that Atkins was naked the whole shoot. It was just natural for him. Then he tells the story of the scene where Atkins is in a long shot on a cliff jerking off. He was doing really exaggerated movement and Kleiser yells to him take in in a little, we've all seen it, it's not that big!

R126, Golden Globes are hardly indicators of true potential, especially at that time when Pia Zadora’s husband was bribing them heavily. I’m sure Columbia greased the wheels too to slap “Golden Globe nominee” on Blue Lagoon posters to squeeze a few more bucks out of it, or to give the indication that it’s an art movie to bring in people who (accurately) assessed it as a Hollywood nudie. It was a massive success, but the reviews are terrible.

And let’s face it, he pigeon holed himself when he stripped down for Blue Lagoon. He was a charming actor but no star. Maybe it was Hollywood’s prejudice that people would be thinking about his dick the next time he showed up on screen, so why not just put him in another movie that shows his dick. Or exploits his sex appeal. So then he became the Heartthrob Who Hangs Dong for a few years.

It’s not a bad gig if you can get it, and maybe have a bit of an exhibitionist side. He seems to understand it and has a sense of humor and humility about it.

But his career probably wouldn’t have lasted very long if he didn’t have to dick gimmick.

R129 potential or not, it’s the way actors are marketed. To have golden globe winner or nominee means a little something, especially to a up and coming young actor. It’s obviously not as prestigious as Oscar or Emmy winner, but it may open a few more doors. The Zadora thing didn’t happen until the next year. But the HFPA has always been open to bribes, so point taken.

I’m just curious when he and his handlers decided to go the nudity route vs maybe a more serious career. Or if that was even something they thought about seriously. The nudity in BL wasn’t that graphic. He might’ve been able to overcome it and have a Brad Pitt type career. But for every Pitt there are a 100 wannabes.

R125 he is beautiful even when under water

I don't know that I would say that people think of Channing Tatum in the same way as Atkins. Tatum actually has comic talent.

Atkins has never been in a movie as good as 21 Jump Street, Magic Mike or Logan Lucky.

[quote]Interesting that Atkins was willing to do all this nudity at the time when he was a rising up and comer coming off a golden globe nom for BL. I’m unsure what his manager and handlers were thinking.

I've always assumed his people realized that Atkins was extremely limited as an actor, to put it kindly, so they wisely capitalized on the one thing he had to offer -- his physical beauty -- as much as possible. I mean, it's not as if his Golden Globe nomination was for a serious role that required anything special in terms of acting.

Don't you think that's the answer to your question?

R133 it was his first film role. A lot of young actors suck in the first thing they do. IMO he was horrible in the film, aside from his physical perfection. The HFPA probably just needed a fifth guy to fill out the best male new star category. The fact that he was even in a category as unnecessary and dumb as new star with superior actors like Tim Hutton (winner), William Hurt, Michael O’Keefe and Steve Railsback was laughable. Instead of trying to land better film or tv roles where he could learn and grow, they basically just cast him in stuff where he can show off his body. I wouldn’t want handlers that just threw me to the wolves where my looks were all that mattered. Atkins and his management definitely took the easy way out.

I guess I see your argument, but really, what if his handlers and perhaps even Atkins himself realized that his acting talent was minimal? One can only learn and grow so much if that's the case, and continuing to get him cast in unchallenging roles that showed off his looks might have been a much better strategy that trying to land him more serious acting roles that he couldn't handle. It's not exactly the same situation, but look what happened to Taylor Lautner.

R135 true. At least with Lautner he tried and failed. I guess with Atkins his try film was probably the Pirate Movie where he didn’t strip, but it flopped, so they decided to go the easy paycheck route. For all we know, he might’ve gone up for some serious roles he repeatedly lost too.

R129, "Hollywood nudie". Are you Neely O'Hara?

I wonder on average what Atkin's gets paid for in his "Z" level movies he has made for the past few more than few years? anyone have any Idea? Wonder what is net worth is?...

speaking of very first film debuts, off topic, but you had 25 year old in 1973 Reb Brown making his film debut, in fact, his first acting job in the movie "Sssssss", where he had the most homoerotic shower scene ever on film, perhaps thee most homoerotic scene of any kind EVER filmed and where he agreed to full nudity (minus frontal of course)........

R121 Yes the casting couch rumours have been rife for Atkins on that movie. Even Brooke Shields, in her last book, strongly hinted at something going on there. It certainly seems believable when you think about it. A pretty boy with-let’s face it-no discernible acting talent and zero experience, getting cast in a major motion picture in a starring role. I think it’s credible to think of Atkins as essentially gay-for-pay, or heteroflexible to use the dreaded term.

R124 I’ll take my turn in line!

R122 Wooo it’s getting warm in here! Your post got me a little hard…

OP- He was good looking but I would hardly describe him as BEEF 🥩. He was too slim and boyish.

[quote]I guess with Atkins his try film was probably the Pirate Movie where he didn’t strip, but it flopped,

And he's even shirtless on the poster for that.

R126 Actually from interviews I remember reading back in the day, he came from a pretty conservative background and his family-especially his mother-were embarrassed by his nudity. He joked about that a lot. It sounds like the Blue Lagoon set was where he learned to like being in the buff. And he made an entire career out of it!

R133 Yup that about covers it. He was lucky and pretty. Very, very pretty. And he got a lifetime career out of it.

R120 Ha ha thank you! I appreciate your generosity.

R144 mmm I thought it was opposite or I may be misremembering. Thanks.

I agree the Chris Atkins/Channing Tatum comparison isn;t very illuminating: Tatum can sing and dance, and is fine funny comic actor, whereas Atkins only had his beautiful body.

For those complaining he seems to be too skinny, keep in mind that his bodyw as pretty much the ideal in the late seventies and early eighties. It wasn't until the mid80s that it became popular to have the exceptionally muscular steroid bodies that took hold and are still popular today. Beautiful men just before then were expected to have angelic blond curly hair, tan skin, and tight bodies--not big ones (Stallone's and Schwarzenegger's mega-popularity in the mid-Eighties is what really turned the tide for masculine aesthetics).

They dressed him like such a slut on Dallas- nothing but speedos and crop tops.

Sue Ellen’s behavior in that storyline proves she’s a gay icon. She’s always making lustful glances at his perfect body , and then there’s the episode where she practically flicks her bean in a public park watching a bunch of shirtless college boys play football shirtless while she imagines getting railed by Chris Atkins.

R148 Agreed on both points. Channing Tatum is much more talented than Chris Atkins could ever hope to be.

That said, Atkins was/is a sexual ideal for many of us. Especially in the 80s. Not everyone likes the roided-up bodies of the Stallones of the world. In fact I’d argue that those types are more a niche/ fetish than Christopher Atkins ever was. Besides, the term “beef” or “beefcake” has come to mean an appreciation of male beauty itself, in all it’s glorious forms. You don’t have to be beefy and big to be beefcake!

R149 Ha ha right?! The mainstream audience/press didn’t really dig the Peter/Sue Ellen storyline. It was gay men who loved it. As usual we had to project ourselves onto a female protagonist because that’s all we were ever given. The old Tennessee Williams playbook. It made perfect sense to lust after a firm-butted, younger, blonde twink who’s entire wardrobe consisted of a tiny, blue speedo.

Tatum is not that talented. I only made the comparison because both he and Atkins have coasted on their looks. Tatum has had more opportunities because of all the content being filmed now for film and tv. To say Tatum is in a different talent universe than Atkins in nonsense.

How many gay guys have fantasized about being stuck on an island with him as in Blue Lagoon? Go take a swim, Brooke, I'd have been on that pronto.

well Sue Ellen did manage to seduce and have him at her beckon call sex machine jack scalia's character on Dallas! lordy he was so so pretty handsome!....

[quote] Tatum is not that talented.... To say Tatum is in a different talent universe than Atkins in nonsense.

No one agrees with you.

You're just a sour queen.

R155 you’re just a delusional one. Even Tatum doesn’t take himself to seriously and is more self aware. He will never be Daniel Day Lewis because you wanna suck his cock.

Too^

Ned Beatty was originally cast when the title was An Afternoon in Purgatory.

I'd do Atkins or Tatum.

R156 No one is saying he’s Daniel Day Lewis, who is a character actor who deals in heavy-lifting dramatic roles. We’re saying he’s more talented than Christopher Atkins, who was mostly a TERRIBLE actor. Pretty as hell, but talentless. Unless he got better in his later films? I can’t say I’ve given any of them more than a passing glance.

Tatum has fairly limited range so far, but cast in the right way, he’s gold. He has proven himself effective in multiple genres and has worked with some of the most sought-after directors in the business. Yes his prime function in pop culture is as a sex symbol, and he has an unpretentious manner and approach to his work, but that doesn’t mean he has no talent. He’s funny, charming and sexy in Lost City within the lightweight boundaries of the role-and isn’t that what a Movie Star is supposed to be? Same in Magic Mike and the 21 Jump Street movies. His movies also make money and for the most part are critically acclaimed.

Name me one Christopher Atkins role where his acting isn’t stiff, or embarrassingly inept? Go on…we’ll wait. And Atkins fans, don’t bother coming after me. I’m a lifelong fan…of his ass! Seriously, I think he’s better as a model/in still photos. He worked all those teen mags back in the day with the best of them! And good for him for continuing to get work all these decades later.

[quote]Well Sue Ellen did manage to seduce and have him at her beckon call

OH!!!!!!!!!! DEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R160 Atkins has appeared almost exclusively in straight-to-video movies where no one expected any acting ability, much after he'd aged out of his pretty twink status. He's had a business installing pools and I think still has an outdoor sports company. He's probably not earned a living just by acting since his Dallas days. That said, he's appeared in something nearly every year since Blue Lagoon.

I'm sure he'd agree that he's not much of an actor, actually.

[quote]Tatum can sing and dance, and is fine funny comic actor, whereas Atkins only had his beautiful body.

Where has he sung? And lets face it, he can't compete with Atkins in the face category.

Tatum does convincingly portray a dick-hungry sex slave in "The is the end".

R160 Atkins didn’t have the chances in the early 80s to become a somewhat better actor that Tatum has had. Granted, Atkins didn’t help his cause by doing films where he took of his clothes a lot. But that’s basically how Tatum started. It may be a cultural thing with the dumbing down of this country with the majority of so called actors in this day and age not being able to act as if their life depended on it.

I’m not president of the Atkins fan group or anything. It’s highly unlikely he would’ve had a Brad Pitt career. But Tatum is not this brilliant comedic and dramatic actor. And you are really citing the Lost City?

I don't think Tatum's looks are even in the same league with Chris.

In terms of both their faces and their bodies, Channing Tatum is a very different TYPE from Christopher Atkins, so it's only natural that some people might prefer one's looks over the other's. But really, there is NO POINT WHATSOEVER in arguing about something that's so subjective and so dependent on personal taste.

R167 Exactly - that's what we do here.

I think they’re both hot as fuck-but, agreed, in very different ways. The one thing they both have in common is an embracing of there reputations as Himbos. Channing with a wink and nod to that “image”, Atkins because he really wasn’t given much of a choice. He just couldn’t help himself lol! I love himbos!

I hope the gay director of Blue Lagoon went on the Atkins diet every day.

Butt steak marinated in salt water is very tasty.

R170, R171 My tongue-among other things-is getting hard at the very idea!

R171 What’s a DLB?

I'm sure Atkins was used to cocks firming up around him.

[R171] What’s a DLB?

Dustin Lance Black, who has tasted marinated butt steak many times.

Channing Tatum is an excellent dancer, and has ten times the acting chops of Christopher Atkins. That doesn't mean he's a brilliant actor or anything, it means Christopher Atkins can't act his way out of a wet paper bag.

Channing Tatum also has comedy chops and timing, which Atkins flat out does not have.

They're two different guys, two different types.

Christopher Atkins was the worst actor in Hollywood history, as all those Razzies can attest to. All looks, no talent. I didn’t care one bit as I was jacking off to him. He was what the pause button or Playgirl was made for.

R177 You'd think he would have almost be able to feel all the fans spreading his ass open.

R178 Umm yes-to put it explicitly ha ha! I think it must have dawned on him fairly early that he basically owed his career to gay men wanting to fuck him. That’s part of his charm !

They need to release the deleted scenes where Chris jacks off and puts a dildo in his delectable, lickable ass.

R180 Now THAT’S a Christopher Atkins performance I’d pay to see!!

R178 you paint a picture with WORDS!

The ending was demeaning for Chris’s character though. Destroyed the hotness.

R178 Not the fans so much, but a couple of the guys from the crew filled me to BURSTING regularly though that shoot.

Ah DL, this is why I keep coming back! To wade through all the diatribes and obnoxious right-wing trolls on other threads, to commiserate with other horny Christopher Atkins fans. Nostalgia can be a potent drug in these fucked up times.

So bored and yes, a bit horny last night, I decided to actually check out some of his later-period Grade Z extravaganzas. I managed to find something called “13th Child:Legend of the Jersey Devil” from 2002. Mostly because I’m a bit more forgiving of bad horror movies.

Anywho… I was actually surprised! It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. Bad yes, but oddly watchable. His acting by that point had become…serviceable. A polite way of saying that he isn’t as inept as he used to be. So, good for him?! More importantly, he looked great! Sporting a moustache, stubble and a shaggy blonde-frosted haircut, and more filled-out than in his youth, he was kind of rocking an early Nick Nolte vibe. And his ass looked damned fine, round and full, in the tightish pants they had put his cop character in. I may-or may not-have paused on some of his scenes to get a good gawp at the early 40s Christopher Atkins ass. I’ll leave that up to your vivid imaginations.

R185 It's the downside of being so fair-skinned and basically becoming famous naked at 18 that people are going to have that image of you in mind and hold you up to it for the rest of your life.

I'm reminded of Björn Andrésen, who was made famous as "the most beautiful boy in the world" at age 15 for his role in "Death in Venice".

R186 Yes being sexualized at a young age can fuck people up. I’m not quite sure how that relates to my post though?

R187 It was more about people being compared unfavorably to their youthful appearance later in life. You weren't doing that with Atkins, but that's been a lot of the reaction to his later roles that I've seen.

Why did/does he have such a big gay following?

Have you not been paying attention, R189?

Cause he's purdy

R191 And legal, but just barely.

R192 He looked old enough to fuck. And lick. And kiss.

Skinny legs.

R190 No I have been paying attention. What I should have said is “Why is he a gay icon-besides the obvious?” Obviously it’s primarily his looks and the nudity. We gay men are as shallow as our straight counterparts ha ha! However, I maintain that it’s almost exclusively gay men of a certain age who remember Christopher Atkins so fondly all these years later. As this thread attests to. I think he’s a true gay icon and a symbol of that time-the early 80s-for the gays .Was it just his pretty face and ass? I kinda think it’s also because he wasn’t macho. He was almost androgynous in how he was presented. Non-threatening and almost submissive He exemplified a very specific type-the twink- before that term was widely used. And he acknowledged his gay fans back then, which was rare and kind of brave in the AIDS -torn Eighties. That why he remains an Icon IMHO.

R195 Jesus, your cunt is dripping all over this thread. You septic cunt.

Palate cleanser. The Chris scenes in It's My Party.

He's never given any indication of being phobic about his gay fans. I recall him saying something to the effect that he didn't have a problem with guys being attracted to him, it just didn't do anything for him.

He grew up knowing that he was attractive, I'm sure, and always seemed secure enough in his own sexuality to not be bothered. Plus, he also seemed to be aware that his gay fans have contributed to his success over the years.

My gut feeling tells me he’s primarily straight but has dabbled on our team. Even if just Gay4Pay. Basically the majority of his career has been driven by or heavily influenced by gay men behind the scenes. Hollywood is notoriously driven by the casting couch and sexual favours. Yeah this could be wishful thinking on my part, but it’s based on information whispered about over the years. I’m hardly the first one to say it.

R199 The old joke about him and the Blue Lagoon's gay director was that Chris had sunburn on the soles of his feet. It's probably not true, but I could believe that Chris has permitted his share of friendly male touching.

R200 I think it’s already been talked about on this thread, but even Brooke Shields said her mother claimed to see something inappropriate on that set. Enough to have him moved into her quarters.

Anyone else remember Richard Valley and Scarlet Street magazine? He put out a list of Hollywood gays/bisexuals that had hundreds of names on it. Atkins is on that list. It is a very credible list filled with mostly character actors and those already out or outed later. A Pride thing. Directors, producers and those adjacent to the business. So not just the usual hot, young sexy actors we’d all LIKE to be gay. And he was certainly an insider, who knew Atkins personally.

The rumours about Atkins have been rife since the beginning of his career. Enough to make People magazine. Of course he’s denied it numerous times. Sometimes these things prove to be true, sometimes not. I know those that will adamantly claim he’s 100% straight, whatever that is. Who knows really?

R200 “Toucha toucha toucha TOUCH me! I wanna be DIRRTTTYYYY!!

Chris has taken more trips to the pole than Santa.

But has the pole gone up his North Hole?

R202 Chris could have been the Bride of Rocky.

So was Chris the ultimate fantasy bottom boy? Most of the focus here seems to be on his ass.

I'd say yes as a top. But he seems to have universal appeal.

R201, Richard Valley believed that every male celebrity was a closet queen. I knew him, and he was a deeply troubled and angry person. He may very well have been right about Atkins, but some of the names on his list are ludicrous. And he included Lionel Atwill on his "Pride" list, whose only claim to gay sex was him molesting little Donnie Dunagan on the set of Son of Frankenstein. Pride my ass!

He’s so generic.

Christopher Atkins needs a good spanking and I’m just the man to give it to him!

He's on Cameo for $60.

R211 Trust me I know! I got him to ALMOST flash me the goods in a private Cameo.

R212 Not too surprising that Chris is on Cameo - I doubt he makes that much from his acting. Startling to see Brian Cox there - I wonder how many personalized "fuck offs" he does.

Beef? Chicken at best.

R214 The tenderest.

R212, I'm curious as to what you asked for in your request.

R216 I asked for “something a little naughty”. He sent me a cute little video where he was nude. Don’t get me wrong-he didn’t show anything. He stood up at the end but it was cropped at crotch level.

Thanks 😘

R217 It's cool that he has a sense of humor about it. I wonder what he was actually like at 19, other than pretty.

Some of the Cameo people aren't has-beens. It's easy and good money. Just like those conventions, except you don't have to leave your house.

DL fave Dionne is "on sale" for $250-ish, if anyone is interested.

“Hey Mr. Atkins, I’m a big fan of yours! Could you please send me a video of you showing me your hole for my birthday? For nostalgia sake? I’ll pay 200$. It would mean a lot. Private DM me. Thanks so much!”

I sure hope he surrendered the pink to somebody back in the day.

R222 I wonder who got to take him first.

R223 Take him? How Victorian of you lol…I assume it was Kleiser, the director of Blue Lagoon, if rumours are to be believed. But who knows really? I’d like to believe he’s been fucked at least once!

Anyone willing to share your raunchiest jack-off fantasies about Chris from back in the day?

R208 I’m puzzled by your response. You may indeed have known Richard Valley-good for you!-not having known him, I can’t speak to his character. But I think maybe you’re mixing up the Scarlet Street list with another one. Boze Hadleigh (sp?), who wrote Conversations With My Elders, put out a list awhile back of allegedly 150 Bisexual/ Gay actors as well, and that one is basically made up of every actor you could name since the 50s who was at one time considered a hot, young sex symbol. Much more what you’re describing- mostly the wet dreams of gay men since Hollywood began. And it strains credibility in it’s wishful thinking.

The list I’m referring to, which I first read on a Scarlet Street forum, is dramatically different. And, to a person, it’s filled with Hollywood folks who have come out themselves, or have very credibly been outed by others. The “heartthrobs” on the list are actually relatively sparse and they’re the usual suspects,, like Cary Grant, James Dean, Monty Clift, Tab Hunter, Richard Chamberlain, Helmut Berger, Sal Mineo, Travolta, Brando, Alain Delon etc etc. Again, the rumours have been persistent or confirmed later.

The list does have a few-huh?- candidates like Johnny Depp on it. But it’s basically character actors, directors, designers, musicians…and there are a lot of women on it. It’s the opposite of what you said basically.. I find it very credible like I said. Incidentally, Chris Atkins is on both lists, for what that’s worth. And hey, I fully concede that that doesn’t make ie true either!

Chris seems like the kind of guy who would admit to past male whatever. Not like he has nothing to lose.

I do wonder if he had to get nude for the audition, since there was direct nudity in the movie.

would be interesting to know if any other actors were "up" for the role and/or actually auditioned and who they were!...i'm talking both "the blue lagoon" and "a night in heaven"....

[quote]Anyone willing to share your raunchiest jack-off fantasies about Chris from back in the day?

Not sure how raunchy this is, but yes, after I had read a gossip item about how the Randal Kleiser, the director of THE BLUE LAGOON, was giving Chris a LOT of attention during the filming, I did think about Kleiser taking Atkins off into the woods somewhere to make sure that his loincloth fit JUST right....

Anyone remember his sexy snake pic a la Nastassja Kinski?

R231 Oh yes.I do remember the photo! That’s not the original one that was released to the press though I believe. He was laying on his side and you saw a bit of side bum. And I think it was black and white?. I masturbated so hard over that photo when it came out! This one, and others that were released later, are hot as well.

R231 Guess where the snake's tail was going?

R229 I recall reading that the casting call for Blue Lagoon was huge, but I gathered that it was mainly if not entirely unknowns.

R233 Um, where many of us would like to have gone? Up his uh…burrow? Lucky fucking snake!

The photographer got some interesting shots, I'm sure.

The snake was very friendly, but the shoot was exhausting. I was all sweaty by the time we were done.

R230 It's very important that costumes fit correctly, what? Chris often seemed to get constricted in the outfit - it was my duty to look after my actors.

[quote] would be interesting to know if any other actors were "up" for the role and/or actually auditioned and who they were!...i'm talking both "the blue lagoon" and "a night in heaven"....

Jailbird Lori Loughlin was first choice for Emma and was offered it but turned it down because of the nudity.

I remember that snake poster. So much hotter than Kinski. More masturbation material from my misspent youth.

R239 I wonder if she would have climbed on my dick as fast as Brooke did.

R240 Nothing “misspent” about whacking off to Chris Atkins! That’s time we’ll spent.

R242 The only better thing would have been actually fucking him - hopefully someone got to do that.

R243 Can I get an amen to that?! Right up his pretty little puckered starfish!

Christopher Atkins was the ultimate 80’s Himbo.. Beautiful as hell, but he always came across as dumb as a box of rocks to me. Not that I was complaining mind you.

I'd have Gronked him all day and all night on that island!

R245.. dumb and full of cum! perfect!

I'm surprised Atkins being the himbo he was and for that time period never made one of those rubber replica's of his erection for his biggest fans (or for sale!)..

Looks like Chris was a bit of a boozer in the early 80s - makes me wonder what walks of shame he might have had back in those days.

R247 Well that would have effectively ended his career in the mainstream industry, but it’s nice to dream lol!

I would have preferred-and bought-a replica of the other side myself. Yup, I would have utilized a fake rubber Chris Atkins ass all day and all night!

R248 Yes he has been fairly upfront about a dark time in his life where he succumbed to addiction, hit bottom, went to rehab, got sober-the usual celebrity cycle we’ve heard about time and again. Apparently a manager of his stole a lot of money from him, and he’s claimed that started the spiral.

However, unlike some-let’s face it-FORMER stars, he’s never really gone into the gory details, for profit or otherwise. Good for him I guess, but I’ve always thought he’s never told the full truth about his sexual past for example. That is, of course, his prerogative. BUT… His later interviews are riddled with “Oh gay men LOVE me, I’m always been surrounded by gay men, I’ve been hit on by gay men all my life, but of course I’ve NEVER succumbed, not 100% heterosexual me, no way!!”. Meanwhile the rumours have said otherwise. And not just on the DL either. Who knows really, but my guess is that some of his history is revisionist.

R246 Okay I’m a little afraid, but I’ll bite. What’s “gronked”? And how does it relate to Christopher Atkins?

This was the better pose of the snake pic

R251 Rob Gronkowski is a retired NFL tight end who went by the nickname "Gronk". The DL joke is that Gronk loves to pound whatever ass he can (or "Gronk" it).

R252 The trick is to really relax so that the snake doesn't feel threatened.

R250, since his career is essentially over he should just write a book, name names and make some money.

R255 He's probably missed he window for that to be lucrative - should have done it during his rehab cycle.

Hi, my name is Redated, and I also wanked, lots, to Chris in the 80s.

Well, he most likely could name lots of names since so many are dead.

R257 Is this 12 Step rehab for former masturbators who pulled the pud while thinking of Chris Atkins? Uh I think I missed some meetings. I better start saying the Serenity Prayer.

R252 Yup that’s the one! Ah sweet memories!

R253 Okay thanks. Good to know. I would have gronked him too!

Besides the body of death, Tom Brady said Gronk has a beautiful penis. I'll take Tom's word.

R262 Brady is a real nice guy, and he sure knows how to please a man.

off topic, but married very christian and seemingly very horny with all those kids former hall of fame quarterback Kurt Warner stated that his former team mate Larry Fitzgerald had the most amazing ass he has ever seen! ole kurt has great taste! Imagine seeing the infamous legendary Fitzgerald naked ass every day in the locker room! whew lordy be!...

Can we resume talking about Christopher Atkins’s ass now?

Never saw this movie in full but I've seen the striptease scenes because Atkins is a hottie. I loved The Blue Lagoon for his sexy ass. I'm glad he was generous enough to pose nude and show off his beauty that was very fleeting

Blue Lagoon had two sequels that managed to be even worse than the original which was far from a masterpiece. While Brian Krause and Brenton Thwaites are both sexy guys, neither matched Atkins in the mix of youthful innocence and raw sex appeal.

Did anyone see the knockoff Paradise with Willie Ames?

Yes, as it was quite dong-full.

R268 I have when it aired on one of those Encore channels. It was erotic but the plot was dumber than Blue Lagoon. Willie Aames was a very cute twink before he became Bibleman. Phoebe Cates is gorgeous but couldn't act. She paled in comparison to Brooke in the beauty department. At Least Aames got nude before finding Jesus.

R268 Clearly he and Atkins should have been the marooned couple. Kind of like an apprenticeship, but with more fucking.

R266 I think Chris is still pretty sexy. Everyone gets older. Very few maintain the beauty of their youth.

Yes, let’s face it. The Blue Lagoon “franchise” is among the worst in Hollywood history. Plot, direction, acting, script, social relevance…all terrible. But does anyone care? They are pretty much soft-core mainstream porn for the masses. Like Bo Derek movies.

And for us fans of firm, nubile male bodies, they are prime STROKE material. Especially the original!

R273 Miles O'Keefe's Tarzan should have been on the island with Chris and Willie - those boys need a good strong top.

R271 R274 Forget the twink-on-twink action. I was waiting for Hollywood to do a sequel with Atkins and an older, hairy, bear-type. We need full representation! Can we go back in time for that? No? Never going to happen? Asking for a friend.

The first two Blue Lagoons were popular because they featured beautiful underage lolita stars: Brooke Shields and Milla Jovovitch frolicking naked and having softcore sex. Basically for horny straight men to jack off too without guilt. The same reason Britney Spears was a thing in the late 90s.

The only redeeming factor is the hot legal twinks who are scantily clad frolicking around too. That redeems these shit movies. The director of the first one was gay and he probably rather have made about two twinks but Hollywood was not having that

R275 Now, now, twinky Chris might not be able to handle taking a big burly bear - he might swim away in fear.

No one wants to see Chris with a bear.

R274 and R275... I love how you two think!

hmm, maybe dolph lundgren and/or the paul brothers (the barbarians) needed to show up on that island to be the ultimate muscle daddies!

fantasy????: if only the one and only CLINT WALKER was on that island and in his youthful prime!....

R278 Hey speak for yourself! I find twink on twink boring as hell.

The score for "The Blue Lagoon" by Basil Poledouris is one of the most beautiful scores ever written for the screen. How the hell it wasn't nominated for the Oscar over the forgettable "Altered States" and "The Elephant Man" is a mystery.

Chris agreed with me and said they wrote lyrics for the love theme "Emmeline" and he recorded it for the end titles but they ended up not using it and he still has a copy. Told him he should post it online. Listen to the movie's orchestra version all the way thru, it's gorgeous.

Randal Kleiser directed the cult classic The Flight of the Navigator with DL fav Sarah Jessica Parker in a supporting role. So I don't think he's completely devoid of talent. He seems to understand visual beauty and atmosphere well enough.

R281 You know Chris?! Spill.

R282 Fair enough. I’m also a sucker for Grease. He’s not an artiste with a Capitol A, but he’s got some good popcorn flicks under his belt.

R276 Yes, and because he was gay, he made that movie for gay men. Brooke Shields was a ruse. Rarely has a queer subtext been so blatant in an ostensibly hetero movie. Chris Atkins is much more lasciviously presented than she is.

R284 Yep. It's funny I don't even think she's that sexualized compared to her male costars in Blue Lagoon and Endless Love who have closeups of their chests and asses and portrayed as lust objects. Brooke's just kinda there to gaze around with doe in the headlights look. Directors for both movies were gay. In fact Brooke in Blue Lagoon could be a proxy for the gay male audience since she stares at Chris' body a lot with lust in her eyes. "Your muscles," she says with longing.

We can also thank Randall for Dawn, Portrait of A Teenage Runaway (I think that's correct) starting hottie Leigh J Mc Closkey. He certainly had the eye for young twinks.

R282 He sure understood the “visual beauty” of Chris Atkins bare butt, that’s for sure!

R285 It’s the Tennessee Williams syndrome. All those plays with an older female protagonist lusting after hot, firm, younger male flesh.- hustler types. Sweet Bird Of Youth, The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone, … on and on. In the times they were written, explicit depictions of homosexuality was taboo, but it’s beyond obvious -especially now-that these female characters were stand ins for Williams..

It’s the same with Kleiser and Atkins. Anyone with two eyes can see how much sexual interest the director has in him. The mainstream press was so busy wringing their hands over Brooke’s age-and rightly so!-they mostly missed the obvious objectification of sexy Chris. But us gays knew better. Kleiser was hiding in plain sight.

I’ve read an account that claims Sean Penn auditioned for the Atkins role. Sean fucking Penn!!! Can you imagine The Blue Lagoon with that dour,hawk-nosed grump, method-acting his way all over that tropical island,? Instead of sweet, uncomplicated nudie-cutie Chris? Can you picture just how BAD Brooke Shields acting would have come across next to Penn? The mind boggles!

[quote]You know Chris?! Spill.

Sorry, no, just met him and we talked about the movie and the soundtrack came up and he told me about his recording.

He didn't mind rockin' the loincloth.

Was just thinking on that island, why would either of them be wearing ANY clothing at all? if it was reality....

Wait wait wait... did Willie Aames show dong in Paradise?!? If so, I somehow missed that...

Willie Aames side dick and ass

Aames swimming nude

The best film would have been for Aames and Atkins to be marooned together on the island where they could frolic naked and discover the pleasures of " The love that dares not speak its name." Kleiser would have had a constant hardon.

Okay so who tops who in an Atkins/ Aames coupling?

Willie tops the perky Atkins ass.

Although, they are vers until Atkins realizes he likes the Willie.

R298 Yes, he who has the nicer ass must bottom. That’s our Chris! So it is written, so it shall be.

R296 I’m sure there’s a porno version of that somewhere.

Atkins should have been topped-gang banged-by those natives on the other side of that island. Now THAT version of Blue Lagoon I’d pay to see remade!

R302... too late to have ken norton as one of the mandingo's topping atkins character??

you know mandingo was 1975 and the blue lagoon was only 5 years later...

R303 Um time travel maybe? And I’m pretty sure no one has used the word Mandingo since 1975.

I forget which actress I was reading about, but they said she played a mandinga. I never realized it had a female equivalent.

I’ve always wondered if the ending of A Night In Heaven was meant to be more sexual. The scene in the boat where the husband makes Atkins take off his clothes by gun point to humiliate him. Like an alternative version where hubby fucks Atkins and then cums all over his face or something. Another version of the script with the cuckold getting revenge in a sexed up way.. No? Just my twisted fantasy?

Is he still getting his dick out?

Forgot about the knock-off Willie Aames performance. He was pretty cute back in his pre-zealot days. I can remember hoping Charles would 'take charge' of his errant friend Willie with some naked spankings.

So sexy

speaking of "a night in heaven".... and that infamous bedroom sex scene with atkins and warren's character. I have always always wondered something about this scene....

Meaning, were we the viewers judging by the character's acting especially warren's character in moaning pleasure and her orgasm, suppose to think 1) that atkin's character had a big great dick and/or was a great fucker or 2) that warren's character was so damn lonely and horny that ANY guy's dick would have made her react this way?.....

thoughts?

Yes R310 I was thinking that I really needed to understand their motivation in that scene in order to enjoy CA's pert young ass bobbing away ;)

R311, while the scene in question is very hot, it sadly does not include "CA's pert young ass bobbing away." You seem to have forgotten that Ms. Warren is sitting on CA in that scene, and during the love making, his butt is not visible at all. (Nor is hers, and I believe she remains almost fully clothed throughout the sex scene.)

You are correct,R312. Unfortunate that he didn't get on top. The hottest part of this scene is when he takes her hand and leads it to his crotch and she puts her hand down the front of his pants. It was probably a double with that shot, but I always fantasized that it was me.

From the DVD commentary

When Chris signed on to play Rick Monroe, there was no actual nudity written in the movie. They were shooting the scene where Lesley Ann Warren and Christopher Atkins have sex, she rubs his crotch and pulls his pants down and then the camera is supposed to move away, but accidentally that day, Chris was not wearing any underwear and his slightly aroused penis popped out. It was only when the director sat down to edit that day's work that he noticed this unscripted occurrence. He thought it might add a new dimension to the scene and really show off the intimacy between the two lead characters and decided to keep it. But unfortunately Atkins was not informed about this, and he came to know only when he watched the pre-release, but nothing could be done at that time as the movie prints had already been distributed to the theatres.

R312 Anything, and everything to do with Atkins should be about, or include, his pert ass.

Anyone have pics of his ass in tight pants?

R314, I knew it wasn't my imagination that he had a semi. I haven't seen the movie in years.

R314 accidentally?

R317....amazingly this sex scene in the hotel room is shown in it's entirety on youtube! can't believe it's been "allowed" there....

R319 YouTube is as wildly inconsistent in their policies as any other platform out there.

R318 Right?! I call bullshit on that as well.

^He knew exactly how he was being marketed, and how to market himself for maximum exposure. Who “accidentally” forgets to wear underwear to a film shoot? He was a sex symbol and nothing else. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.:)

Chris should have done gay porn to complete his escalating sexual objectification.

That story is made up bullshit for sure. Movies aren't made like that. Even lower budget.

I will say atkins and warren's hotel lovemaking scene was pretty scorching especially for it's time, basically late night cable soft porn complete with quick shots of atkin's erection! I always wondered though in regards to this scene, we're we the audience suppose to think that either 1) atkin's character had such a great dick and such great lovemaking technique to make warren's character react and orgasm so monumentally OR 2) that she was so damn horny any man's could have made her orgasm and react the way she did when she orgasmed and any man shot in her?...

thoughts?

Would love to have the movie end with 1) warren's hunky beefy manly husband screwing her and unknowing he is screwing (and feeling even better pleasure than normal!) her pussy AND atkin's characters' cum coating his erection!

then 2) warren becomes pregnant and no one knows who is the father!...

VH1 did a great show about a decade ago called Confessions of a Teen Idol about him and a bunch of hunky has beens living together in LA and trying to rebuild their brands. Chris came across as a slightly nerdy suburban dad. There were more colorful characters and he faded into the background a bit.

He did give into insight into his downfall in one episode where he said he missed his audition (or possibly even a callback) for Footloose because he was out partying the night before at Playboy Mansion. It didn’t sound like his rock bottom was all that bad but a relatively normal guy struggling with some substance abuse issues who has the maturity to acknowledge the problem and get help for it right away.

R327 See and I thought he was by far the sexiest-and most well preserved- of that “teen idol” bunch, maybe because he seemed more grounded. I wouldn’t call that “nerdy”. The others, to a man, came across as narcissistic twats, comparatively. Especially Chockachi and that other dude from Baywatch.

I agree that it sounds like he got through his addiction period relatively unscathed, if you’re comparing him to someone like, say Lindsay Lohan,, but I’ve heard that story told differently by him. He didn’t MISS the audition, he showed up, reluctantly, but was so out of his mind on.some substance or other, that he blew it, and the filmmakers were horrified. Who shows up to an important film audition high as a kite, or drunk? Sounds like a pretty serious problem to me. Good for him for coming out on the other side though.

R325 Considering the premise of the movie, and how it was marketed, I think it’s safe to say that it was Atkins character, specifically, that was meant to be so sexy that she would get off like that. The whole movie was structured for that, and the shattering of societal taboos (especially for 1983). Older woman/younger man, male stripper role-reversal, student/teacher fucking, infidelity etc.

When you think about it, it was pretty ballsy of the filmmakers to think a mainstream audience would accept all this AND still like the Warren/Atkins characters. The truly weird, tacked on happy ending just doesn’t ring true. Probably why it bombed so badly with audiences and critics? Well that and, let’s face it, the terrible acting and direction, despite the Atkins flesh-fest.

He gives me a heteroflexible vibe. Like he'd like men suck him off and worship his body while stoned. A lot of really hot men get off on male attention just as much as female.

R330 Yup agreed! Buysexual? Vain as hell?. I could believe that totally about CA.

R323 Ooo this stirs the imagination. What kind of porn should Atkins have done? Gang-bang Bukkake? Chris’s 50 Load Weekend? The possibilities are endless!

I love watching old gay porn and Chris definitely looks like some of the vintage porn stars like Kip Noll, Kurt Marshall or from YMAC video.

^Yes I remember one reviewer calling Kurt Marshall “the Christopher Atkins of gay porn.”

R302 Like a Blue Lagoon version of Blackballed.

R297 I think Atkins was the cockier cock. I think he'd have pounded Willie like a drum.

R310 I have a memory of seeing some commentary about Blue Lagoon, and they were talking about the scene where Chris' character is supposed to be masturbating after Brooke discovered his morning wood. The comment was that the director told Chris that "he'd seen it, it wasn't that big", with regards to the arm motions that Chris was making.

Still more than enough dick for Willie's repressed little ass though.

Just for everyone's F.Y.I... i jacked to the bedroom sex scene just last night while watching it on youtube! laugh! It "worked" for me as always....

The director was hot back then. I could see him testing the goods. I hope he was gentle to Chris the first time.

^ And then afterwards power-drove him like a jackhammer?

Chris shows the goods in BL. Mmmmm.

The water wasn't THAT cold...

Grower, but who cares as long as his legs are wrapped around my neck?

R342 Right?! It’s all about dat azz!

Similarly-speaking of that ass-Christopher Atkins Playgirl got me through many a lonely, horny night when I was a younger man. Thanks for the wanks Chris!

Have we talked about the Greg Gorman pics yet?

I've seen the Gorman pictures at a gallery. He also did Josh Duhamel.

But he never showed hole...

Ask him to on Cameo, although you'd probably have to spend more than $60.

R347 No unfortunately! My head would explode if he ever showed his manhole!

R345 Which ones?

Gorman took the original Playgirl nudes, and more for his book As I See It in 1997. Book sets were hot! His ass looked spectacular in both, round and firm, and he’s showing a semi-chub in the later ones, so his cock looked great too! I’ve gotten off to both sets countless times.

I could never get excited by Atkins again after that last scene in the movie where he cried like a little bitch. It was absolutely the funniest scene in the movie

He sure does have a nice ass!

R352, I wasn't listening to the wailing. I watch the scene without sound and get hard looking at his forced nakedness. The scene is fucking hot.

R354 Agreed. CMNM is a major thing in the kink community.. And that scene is often cited as a special turn on in certain forums I’ve read. I find that Christopher Atkins brings out the sadist in a lot of people. Don’t know why really.

He sure has some major wrinkles/crow’s feet for only 61. Sun damage, I guess.

I would still do. Just to say I did.

People understand skincare far better now than decades before. Avoiding the sun, use of hats and sunscreen, exfoliating and moisturizing when young can help reduce the signs of aging. A lot of it is genetics though but the excessive tanning culture and heavy smoking and drinking that was common then didn't help.

He looks great for a sun lover. He still has his hair- always a plus.

^He does have a great head of hair! That blonde mane is still intact.

In the 1980’s press, he was more often compared to women, the female sex symbols of the day, like Farrah Fawcett, Suzanne Somers and Bo Derek. There were just not many other men who appeared nude in movies and magazines and allowed themselves to be so blatantly sexualized. God bless him, I loved him for it! More like “male cheesecake”.

^Gay male lists of “the sexiest men” tend to be very different from female ones.

Heck, I posted one of the good Gorman black and white nudes and it disappeared 😱

R362 A new conspiracy? I blame Drumpf.

Post again?

I think because I took it off Etsy. If you google Gorman CA nudes, some show up.

He has a nice ass for a white boy!

Was the director of A Night In Heaven a closet case?

Not from the looks of his filmography. He also did The Karate Kid movies and Rocky. Married twice with several kids- not that it means anything.

William Zabka from the Karate Kid movies is a hottie.

[quote] Vintage Beef: Chris Atkins

I disagree, I think this is more appropriate.

^Yeah he was definitely the original 80’s chicken. The chicken hawks LOVED him!

R367 Yes pretty straight, middle of the road choices. “Heaven”was an anomaly.

R368 Agreed. Wouldn’t have minded watching Zabka fucking Atkins.

[quote] he has a surprisingly weak chin.

He always looked gormless and feckless.

If Atkins wasn’t beefcake, he sure was vealcake. A delicious veal cutlet!

Skinny veal.

R372 He would have bullied Atkins in the locker room and then fucked his ass.

Back in the day I just wanted him to sit on my face and teabag me.

R376 Blonde on blonde. Like that Dylan album.

I forgot about William.

Who could forget this?

R376 Just like I've been pounding Macchio's ass for the last 35 years.

R380 That photo of William Zabka is another example of how much the male body image has changed since the Eighties. I remember thinking he was so ripped back then. Now he just looks sleek and fit, but hardly jacked up. Don’t get me wrong, I prefer his-and Atkins-bodies to the ‘roided out Neanderthals of today. Too many veins popping grosses me out. To each their own I guess. I’m team TWUNK all the way!

They still had semi-six packs back then, but it was a more natural look- like someone just was athletic. And no fucking tats!

Unlike most of the guys here, I love big muscle, and yes bodybuilders, although, I do not like them too "veiny" or ripped asses.....

handsome bodybuilders like gunter schlierkamp and jay cutler and a whole huge truckload of handsome bodybuilders from the 1980s and 1990s do it for me...(i'm old okay!)

love the men of TERRY PHOTOS

love the men of musclehunks.com and muscleweb.com

Both Chris and Billy had cute, cherubic faces and sexy twunk bodies that made gays go wild.

Here’s my perspective. I’m so attracted/obsessed with faces and bums that I almost don’t care what the rest of the body looks like. Or to put it another way, a pretty face and ass go a long way with me.

So I can find myself getting off on a wide range of body types. Six pack abs are great sure, but I don’t mind a little gut-as long as the face is cute or handsome and the butt is perky or bubbly. I’m not NOT attracted to bodybuilders on Instagram or Twitter or whatever-sure show me those guns!-but it’s by no means a dealbreaker if you’re thin or just toned.Turn around now please and flash those glutes! Bat those baby blues! A big cock is lovely, just not crucial. Age, size, ethnicity all secondary to my twin obsessions-ass and face.

Christopher Atkins remains a sexual ideal for me primarily for 3 reasons. Because I came across him early when I was first admitting to myself that I was gay, AND because I thought he was cute AND because he had a really, really nice ass!

R385... whose the hairy chested gorgeous guy in that photo? looks like david james elliott?

R387 It’s got to be him. Unless he has a twin brother who’s also an actor…not sure why his pic in on the link though.

R384 Can I ask, if that’s the kind of male body you like, why are you on a thread about Christopher Atkins?

R389... R384 here, 1) because someone that posted before me was discussing what type of body they like 2) i do like to get off on atkins in "the blue lagoon" and "a night in heaven"... more for the storyline and situation of scenes (and his costume and no costume) than his actual body or looks..i.e. him in that mesh like jockstrap in the blue lagoon and the whole dirty older woman with younger man scenario and the torrid sex scene in that movie a night in heaven.

^ Fair enough. Myself I just feel very free not really having a “type”. I can find myself getting off on a thin 21 year old blonde boy one day and a 50 year old Latino muscle dude the next. As I said before, cute face, nice ass-that’s all I need lol!

Did we ever see William Zabka’s ass in a movie? He wasn’t uh..prolific, like Chris Atkins…

R392 Hmmm. I always wanted an orgy with him and the Van Patten boys.

^Atkins, Zabka and the Van Patten boys? Ooooeee blonde heaven! Can we throw John Schneider,, Rex Smith and Grant Cramer in there? Who bottoms in this orgy? Who tops?

I sold a house to John- he was a hottie. Broke now, after 3 marriages.

R394 OK. The Bottoms boys top the Van Pattens..

I once had a wet dream that Christopher Atkins sucked my cock. After that I would constantly fantasize about that while beating off, and it always ended with me cumming all over his face. That never failed to get me off. I wonder if he ever sucked cock in real life?

Out of r394’s list, John Schneider was the one who did it for me. I was around 10 when Dukes of Hazzard started and he made me all tingly. Then when I hit puberty, he fueled a lot my private time fun. Hell, I’d still do. He’s only 9 years older than me—which seems crazy, but he was only 18 when he debuted on Dukes.

R398 My Top 10 hottest 80’s hunks:

1. Christopher Atkins 2. Maxwell Caulfield 3. Gregory Harrison 4. John Stamos 5. Steve Bond 6. Andrew Stevens 7. Rob Lowe 8. Sam J Jones 9. Richard Hatch 10. John Schneider

I've met Andrew Stevens. He was hot, but very short..

Excellent list, R399.

R399 I'll always remember "The Boys Next Door" . Caulfield was so hot and it wasn't hard at all to see sexual tension between his character and Sheen's.

Christopher Atkins did the most nudity. Which makes him the king in my books.

R400 I don’t mind at alll that he’s pocket-sized! Where did you meet him?

R402 Did anyone see that play in the 80s-forget the name-where Caulfield showed his ass? People magazine had a still shot from it. I use to masturbate a LOT to that photo!

R401 Why thank you! Why don’t you post one of your own?

R401 / R406, because mine would be almost exactly the same as yours :-)

R405, the title of the show was SALONIKA, and it also starred Jessica Tandy and Elizabeth Wilson, who apparently were quite upstaged by Maxwell's nudity.

for me in that time period it was gil gerard, the one and only jon erik hexum, tom selleck, and others i'm drawing a blank right now..

In the genre of male stripper movies, let's please not forget Thomas Calabro in *Ladykillers*.

R407 That’s the one! Thank you for that. God that’s a beautiful ass!

R408 All hotties for sure, in the more manly-man category. Back then I tended to go for the more twinkish pretty boys, hence my list. And being on a Christopher Atkins thread after all:)

I loved Gil Gerard’s big ass crammed into those skin tight white pants on Battlestar for sure though!

R409 Yes indeed let’s not! And that dude from Summer School with Mark Harmon…what was his name?

It wasn’t the 80’s, but I maintain that the hottest celeb male stripper scene in movies is Victor Webster in The Chippendales’s Murders. Talk about scorching! Total j/o fodder. Anyone else see that?

[quote] In the genre of male stripper movies, let's please not forget Thomas Calabro in *Ladykillers*.

In all its glory!

[quote]I loved Gil Gerard’s big ass crammed into those skin tight white pants on Battlestar for sure though!

I loved Gil Gerard’s big ass crammed into those skin tight white pants on "Buck Rogers" for sure though!

I thought of another guy that fits in with this group, Pat Petersen from Knot's Landing. We had mutual friends and I had the biggest crush on him. Haven't seen him in years, but he must be rich af. His parents had a successful business and invested his money in real estate. His older brother was an actor too.

While we're putting Willie Aames up on conveyor belt for fucking, let's not forget Scott Baio. He was quite fuckable back in those days.

His politics ruined it for me. Now I see ugly.

Blonde is female, blond is male.

gil gerard in buck rogers! major major sigh and BOING! inducing! laugh!

totally served up he was in every episode! open wide shirt showing off his hairy chest, the white spandex "uniform" spray painted on, when he wore his "20th century" clothes, wearing tight tight polyester dress pants and yes, his big beefy ass poured into all of his pants...

perhaps the best episode of this was in the silly episode "space rockers" where for a part of the episode he wore a navy blue long sleeve dress shirt that was LITERALLY open up down to his stomach showing his sexy hairy manly chest and wore a pair of white spandex pants that were so damn tight I can't believe he could walk in them, soft bulge seen and from the back that ass was perfectly shown off from the back and in side profile..

this episode and this scene of him is available on youtube!

and yes, I tend to drift towards MANLY men of the 1980s, like gil, tom selleck, jon erix hexum, geoffrey scott (remember him as sexy mark jennings on DYNASTY), lee horsley, holdovers from decades before like lee majors, denny miller... and the bodies and manner of muscle like dolph lundgren and the paul brothers (the barbarians)...

R409...love "ladykillers' movie, ( i have the movie on dvd), although I was a bigger fan of the other actors, not of calabro, as strippers including the real life stripper/part time actor scott layne's scene, his on his back on stage jacking off motion during his strip routine was so x-rated!...

R412,, you're talking about ken olandt in summer school... his sexy stripping routine is great jack off material for sure... Interesting in that his character is in high school so either 17 or 18 and of course he had to lie about his age, but his stripping scene ends with 2 women old enough to be his mother lustfully talking to him (including putting cash down his g-string front/crotch), and it's hinted he had sex with them later..

R413... yeah, victor webster in the chippendale murders stripping scene, pretty raunchy and dirty sexy hot it was and is. loved him on days of our lives back in the day when he was hired by his evil aunt Vivian to seduce old and always horny Kate, which he did spectacularly!

Hey, look what I found on YouTube!

R422 Nice find!

R422 Mark Harmon was so fucking hot.

R422 Oh yes, Ken was a sperm-making machine.

I had never seen that jaw-dropping Atkins snake pic before. Any others from that set?

R426 You wish, you thirsty whore.

R426 The things that snake did to me ...

R246 Yeah there’s a few if you Google Chris Atkins and snake…they’re all hot but it’s the one above that’s iconic as a spank bank relic from that era.

R429 I REALLY hope Chris googles and find this thread. SO many men adore you Chris. You made us cum...and cum....and cum.

Chris Atkins would never have won any John Holmes imitator contests, but he sure gave good booty!

And chest.

Never heard of this movie, but I’m going to watch it. That clip looks hysterical.

R430 Yes I often wonder if celebrities who stumble across their names and find themselves talked about in sexually explicit terms- do they like it? I can only imagine that someone like Scott Baio would be horrified. Christopher Atkins is a special case. He knows that 90 % of his fan base is made up of gay men who lust after him. My guess is that he likes being fodder for gay masturbation.

R434 Jesus, you would hope the first thing they learn is never ever Google search yourself. Unless you are hungry for awfulness, or, as in here, hungry love thirst posts.

R434 Chris knows who has been buttering his bread, and who wants to butter his ass.

A day in heaven.

R436 Hot! But I think butter would probably be a terrible lube☺️

R437 That is my favourite celeb nude photo of all time. I’ve jacked off to it more times than I can count.

Can someone explain the movie to me. They were in a motel and he brought some other girl to screw in the shower while Fay was there? It could’ve been a decent movie with more development. I thought he was using her to bring up his grade. BTW, was it communicated college because they all looked older.

They should have done an alternate version of "A Night in Heaven" where Ricky is abducted by probe-hungry aliens.

Community college

r440... I believe the girl in the shower was his on and off again fuck buddy that you see in a earlier scene at the strip club....

he thought the teacher fuck had left for the day so he thought why not fuck my fuck buddy, not knowing that the teacher would come back into the room to see some more of him and she finds out she was used for a pity fuck....

Trying to make sense of ANIH is an exercise in futility. It’s a terrible movie. Enjoying Chris Atkins’s naked body is it’s ONLY saving grace.

[quote]Trying to make sense of ANIH is an exercise in futility. It’s a terrible movie. Enjoying Chris Atkins’s naked body is it’s ONLY saving grace.

True on both counts. I remember being very confused by the plot of the movie when I saw it during its initial release. I just read the synopsis on Wikipedia to refresh my memory of the plot, and even the synopsis makes no sense.

R437 Are you saying that heaven is the portal between Chris’s ass cheeks?

R446 It's work to get in there, but worth it.

^Do you have to be Sanctified Holy to get inside Christopher Atkins hole?

R448 I was able to persuade him to invite me inside.

Lucky fucking snake!

Did anyone read Brooke Shields book There Was A Little Girl? The chapter on Blue Lagoon and Chris is very dishy.

It was so embarrassing - I passed out after the third orgasm.

The sex scene in " Heaven" is great, but I like the scene in the rowboat where the husband forced him to strip. Maybe I'm into humiliation.

[quote]The sex scene in " Heaven" is great, but I like the scene in the rowboat where the husband forced him to strip. Maybe I'm into humiliation.

I just re-watched that scene, and I think it'd an epic fail because we don't actually see the husband forcing the Atkins character to strip. We do see the husband abduct Chris at gunpoint, then there is a very brief scene back at the club.....and then, when we cut to the husband and Chris, Chris is already cowering naked in the boat, and the husband is pointing the gun at him and ordering him to get into the skiff. I'm guessing they probably filmed the scene of Chris being forced to strip and then cut it, but I can't imagine why -- maybe they thought it came across as laughable, or too homoerotic, or whatever.

Anyway, that big hole in the movie at that point completely destroys the effect of the scene, in my opinion. But, as I and others have commented, there are several plot points in the movie that make no sense, such as: Why does Lesley Ann Warren feel "betrayed" when she sees Chris with his girlfriend after she and Chris had sex? Did she think they were going to get married or something?

Better versions of this movie could have been made by a mentally challenged 8 year old. We’re here because we lust after Christopher Atkins. I’m with R453. That scene is prime jack off material. As is.

That's fine, R455, but I don't agree. As it is, the scene opens with Atkins already naked, cowering in the boat, and crying like a bitch as the husband orders him to get into the skiff. We don't see much of his body because he's crouched over, and because Atkins is blubbering and the scene comes out of nowhere and seems to start in the middle, I don't find it sexy at all. But if we had seen the husband actually forcing Atkins to strip against his will, I think that would have been hot.

R456.. I concur and have the husband say to him after ordering him to strip "i want to see what is so god damn great! show me what the ladies love!" atkins character " and that includes your" Before the husband cuts him off!...

course being that I think the actor who played the husband was way way better looking, way way more masculine and way way more beefier and built, in my little scenario after atkin's character is now full nude, the HUSBAND chuckles and starts to take his clothes off and says "now, i'll show you what a man's man looks like boy"! as atkin's character nude covering himself up and cowering, we see the husband full nude and with a HUGE erection proudly displaying himself and telling atkin's character "tell me whose the man here! say it! and atkin's character crying and scared says "you are" you're the real man!"..... "sir".....

the scene ends with the husband and atkin's character in the middle of the lake there at night, he throws atkin's character clothes into the water and the husband still nude and hard dives in the water and swims to shore, knowing he has a change of clothes in his car on the shore...

R456 Same. The porno version would have Atkins on his knees and then on his hands and knees, but of course shortly begging for what he was getting - nothing too rapey.

R458 Maybe a little rape. But not rape rape.

Sounds like more fun than the scene with Lesley.

My version would end with Atkins taking a huge cum facial

Christopher Atkins was the soft-core Hollywood version of all those pouty, corn-fed, slightly vapid, pretty boy blond porn twinks that were so popular in the late seventies, early to mid eighties. Pure brain-dead sex. Except he appeared in Playgirl instead of Blueboy. There wasn’t even the slightest pretence that his appeal was about “acting” Like his female counterpart, Bo Derek

. His image was remarkably sexualized for a teen idol of that time. Thus his lasting appeal for gay men of that generation. Of course it was also why his career as a mainstream “star” was so short lived. He was just lucky that Randall Kleiser got his meat hooks into him instead of, I don’t know, William Higgins..

All true, R462. And I've always found it interesting that Randal Kleiser's career did not proceed as well as one might have expected after he had directed two huge hits, GREASE and THE BLUE LAGOON. I personally think both of those movies are pretty trashy, but they were boffo at the box-office.

[quote]For those complaining he seems to be too skinny, keep in mind that his bodyw as pretty much the ideal in the late seventies and early eighties. It wasn't until the mid80s that it became popular to have the exceptionally muscular steroid bodies that took hold and are still popular today. Beautiful men just before then were expected to have angelic blond curly hair, tan skin, and tight bodies--not big ones (Stallone's and Schwarzenegger's mega-popularity in the mid-Eighties is what really turned the tide for masculine aesthetics).

It's true there were not that many hunky heart throbs in the 70s but there were some famous ones like Burt Reynolds, Nick Nolte, Erik Estrada, maybe even Jeff Bridges - guys like that

[quote]For those complaining he seems to be too skinny, keep in mind that his body was pretty much the ideal in the late seventies and early eighties

The only ones complaining are hairy, overweight New Yorkers, as is the case with every criticism of a male celebrity on DL.

[quote]It's true there were not that many hunky heart throbs in the 70s but there were some famous ones like Burt Reynolds, Nick Nolte, Erik Estrada, maybe even Jeff Bridges - guys like that

The bodies of those guys were nothing like the exceptionally muscular bodies -- for example, Stallone and Schwarzenegger -- that the other poster was referring to.

I remember Tom Breznahan as the gorgeous blue-eyed skier in Ski School.

I think he's a motivational coach these days.

Chris Atkins

R465 Christopher Atkins had a beautiful, natural body. Gym culture isn’t everything.

Yes, R467, get a load of his LinkedIn profile!

R466 No they aren't but if you read his post more carefully you will see that he said:

[quote]For those complaining he seems to be too skinny, keep in mind that his body was pretty much the ideal in the late seventies and early eighties.

And:

[quote]Beautiful men just before then were expected to have angelic blond curly hair, tan skin, and tight bodies--not big ones

Other than Atkins, and maybe one or two others I don't remember, who was expected to have that angelic look? Maybe Rex Smith? The description was too narrow - so I was pointing out there were hunky guys like Burt Reynolds - or let's say, Clint Eastwood or any number of guys who were considered the handsome ideal of the time or the sexy ideal - who were not angelic cherubs.

Chris should have been asked to put his butt prints in cement at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. I would have definitely volunteered to be the towel boy on the cleanup crew.

So was Chris the prettiest of the 80s pretty boys? Jason Gedeick? John Schneider? Rob Lowe? Maxwell Caulfield? Who was the fairest of them all?

I totally forgot about Jason Gedrick. My older sisters liked Robbie Benson.

I rate Matt Lattanzi second to Chris.

Gedrick was gorgeous.

Robbie Benson never did anything for me.

R475 Yeah good choice. The fact that they may have fucked around is totally hot!

Jon Eric Hexum has to be up there. Caulfield as well. Gregory Harrison rates a mention.

It’s rare to see a mention of Richard Hatch, but I thought he was absolutely flawless.

R474 I remember him from Murder One. Looked really good and good actor, too.

Matt Lattanzi was sexy

R479 I would have shared my hut with him.

R473... well as others have mentioned, I would put Lattanzi ahead of atkins simply face wise, Latanzi was beautiful and had no flaws unlike atkins (bit of a weak chin, etc)....

but if we are going to talk about the ultimate 1980's "pretty boy" the CLEAR WINNER IS JON ERIK HEXUM! Truly breathtaking, stunning, it "hurts' your eyes to look at him, plus he had the best body of all the others. It's almost like Hexum, though, should be in a different category or a category all to himself, since compared to a atkins or a lattanzi, they were boys, while he was a MAN... The manner, the deep voice and so on...Hexum was a combination of pretty boy beauty and masculine handsome...

in reality, hexum was only 4 years older than atkins and only 2 years older than lattanzi, but it seems much more manlier than both by far.

maxwell caulfield I would put ahead of atkins in terms of both looks and body...

someone mentioned richard hatch and yes, he was gorgeous as well, not sure about the body though..

gregory harrison was gorgeous too, had a good body, (although i like the more muscles the better)...

I don't know but perhaps we should clarify such men, meaning you have you pretty "boys" like atkins, lattanzi and others, but then you have more manlier men like hatch, harrison, etc....perhaps we should (or should not) clarify "pretty boys" ages? ..... OF COURSE then again, a "pretty boy" could be 20 or 30....

R482 Caulfield was gorgeous but a twunk rather than twink. Watching him plow Atkins would have been hot.

Though not nearly as popular, Rex Smith had the same kind of 70's sexiness as Atkins. He also seemed very willing to take off his clothes.

R484 His hair was his power - I bet he got hard when someone brushed it.

Gedrick in " Backdraft."

R481, I agree totally, and in fact, I was just about to write a post worded almost exactly like yours. I hadn't looked up their respective ages, so thanks for that note. I do agree that Hexum had a much "manlier" look even if he was only a few years older than the others. And also, of course, he had the sexiest, manliest voice imaginable :-)

When I say “pretty boy”, it’s mostly a figure of speech. It’s almost like taking back a homophobic trope that’s meant to be derogatory in the straight world. “ My wife is in love with that fucking pretty boy from that movie…” that kind of thing. Because only women are supposed to be “pretty” I guess? It’s usually applied to men with even features, smooth skin, long eyelashes, large eyes, a full, lush head of hair, a presentable usually hairless body-and it’s a very WASPy term. Hexum, Gedrick, Caulfield and others mentioned would definitely qualify. under those terms. Except it’s meant as a compliment, like saying handsome or good-looking.

My idea of “rugged” or “manly” is not Jon Eric Hexum. He was too beautiful to qualify. And that’s not meant as a dig, or as an aspersion on his masculinity. I wouldn’t have him any other way. Obviously Atkins is a number of degrees down the scale towards boyishness or twink in comparison. But they’re definitely on the same scale in my world.

The straight world can have the Charles Bronsons and the Schwarzeneggers and the Sean Connerys.. The list of all-time male sex symbols on a gay website is usually radically different from a straight one. We gays tend to like a “pretty” face a lot more. Thus the enduring appeal of Christopher Atkins.

R486 That’s a Michelangelo’s David perfect, sculpted ass right there!

R484 Rex Smith was beautiful, but did he ever show his bare ass in anything, like Atkins did? Or just that golden torso?

R490 According to posters on the Theater Gossip threads, he has a huge cock.

R488.. interesting opinion and post...

while I also would not categorize jon erik hexum as "rugged", I WOULD call him manly! very much so! his manner and that deep deep voice all lend credence to that...along with of course his hairy nicely built body..

Richard Hatch was a sexy man.

R493 Richard Hatch was also sexy, and got a great role in the BSG reboot. Tom Zarek was a utter prick, but a great politician. And Hatch made a meal of it.

There’s some good ass shots of Richard Hatch floating around if you care to look.

^I certainly didn’t mean to imply that there was anything UNMANLY about Hexum. Just that he was so staggeringly beautiful that many would put him in the pretty boy category as well. He was certainly much butcher than Chris Atkins. Two very different types. I’d imagine more bottoms would like Hexum and more tops would like Atkins, but that’s also a pretty broad generalization.

R496 Imagine fucking them both, at the same time. Woof. Jesus, gay fuck whore heaven.

What a difference chest hair (or not) makes in peoples' perceptions.

R497 You mean taking turns fucking them both up the ass? Or some sort of Atkins/Hexum sandwich?

R499 Hexum fucks me. I fuck Atkins.

R500 Hot! If it were me though, I’d want a go at both their asses.

R496... got it, although i have to say for those who are into sexual power trips, wouldn't it be the ultimate to top someone like hexum as opposed to someone like atkins? It would be the "norm" to top someone like atkins, but to top a super alpha like hexum? OFF THE CHARTS OF CHARTS!..

with hexum, topping or bottoming for him would be 100% win win, atkins? um, not so much...

No, Hexum is dead. Topping him would be disgusting.

If only I'd been legal back then!

R502 I know it’s all fantasy anyway, but let’s not forget that CA is straight. Or at least straight identified. I’m sure there could probably be some “power-tripping” involved in topping him. He was slim and boyish in his prime, but you make it sound like he was Richard Simmons or something ha ha!

For that matter, did we ever get a confirmation on JEH’s sexuality? The way the big, muscly dudes are bottoming these day, who knows?

R420 I loved Gil Gerard! Ohhh that ass! I love the fantasy of topping the strong many ones!

I fucking love this thread! It’s a pleasure to come on here at the end of the day and share mutual nostalgia lust for Chris Atkins-and other 80’s icons-especially after wading through all the vitriol and garbage of most of the other threads. Thanks boys!

Christopher Atkins in Playgirl was my gateway drug into a lifetime addiction to gay porn.

R506... i SO SO hear you about gil gerard in "buck rogers".... To bad it was only on for 2 seasons, the first season was sexy amusing erotic/homoerotic campy, the second season was a total downer, a bad "star trek" show....

always amusing and sexy to see big ole beefy gerard POURED into spray painted outfits, both the uniform and other clothes he wore on that show...

The 80’s produced the best pure himbos.

The time has come. I anoint Christopher Atkins: Master Thespian. His work in 13th Child: The Legend of the New Jersey Devil is one for the ages.

^I was wrong. It’s his performance in Beaks: The Movie that will stand the test of time.

Don't forget his standout performance in "Dracula Rising" - I think he got spanked or something.

R513 Whipped I think. But I like the idea of seeing him get a bare bottom OTK spanking better.

Aww poor Chris! He’s a hottie but yes, a very bad actor. Was he the worst actor in Hollywood?

[quote] Vintage Gristle: Chris Atkins in "A Night in Heaven"

There, fixed that for ya.

I'll say one thing for him. He may be a lot older and have a lot more wrinkles, but he's still got one sexy smile.

I’d still do him.

R518 I too would do him based on former hotness and current hotness combined.

He never did anything for me. Seems like a decent guy though.

In interviews he gave at the peak of his fame, he made it clear he wasn't interested in doing the whole actor training thing, which is why he only very marginally improved. He was very lucky he got as much as acting work as he did, especially the high profile stuff.

I would classify him more as veal in his younger days.

Mmmm ... veal ...

I'd take two portions of that Veal Prince Orloff.

I'm guessing most pinup boys don't look quite the same after 40 years.

R523 Right?! God forbid a celebrity should show any signs of aging. Chris looks great. Most men his age would kill for that head of hair for example.

R522 Is that a euphemism for his butt cheeks?

So here’s a question: If you masturbated to him back in the day, what was it over?

R526, his ass.

For me specifically, it was his ass as well. It started with his ass in paused scenes from The Blue Lagoon., when I FINALLY got a VCR. The side shot of his ass in that infamous loincloth on the cover of People magazine. A hint of his ass in that sexy snake poster. His ass in a shot from behind of him in tight pants in Interview magazine. Another shot I found of him in skin tight white pants looking over his shoulder with a silk Grease jacket on,. To a lesser degree, his exposed ass in his scenes from ANIH…

But mostly it was Playgirl. Those glorious, golden globes in all their glory preserved in a magazine that I kept hidden in my bedroom closet. That mag was one hell of a prized possession!

Did I mention I loved his ass?

On the left.

As he was something of a party boy in the those days, I wonder how many guys got to have that ass.

R530 I don’t know, but I’d love to time-travel back to be one of those guys!

R530 Party boy you say? Any juicy gossip from back in the day?

R532 He's admitted to being an alcoholic back in his 20s, but I think that's about it.

You let one snake fuck you and people call you a "party boy".

^Well there were the rumours, spread here on DL, that he was exchanging blow jobs for cocaine at Studio 54. I’ve read that more than once on different threads. Pretty wild if true, could be completely false. Hard to say. But if he was willing to do oral, he’d probably do anal.

And of course the gossip, already talked about on this thread, that Teri Shields, Brooke’s drunken mess of a mama, walked in on Randall Kleiser fucking Chris on the set of BL.

R534 Who says that snake got all the action?!

I wonder if Chris and Brooke Shields kept in touch?

Christopher Atkins Is Blond Heaven.

R535 I do remember waking up on a couch in Studio 54 (bad idea to nap there) only to find myself naked and covered with flour.

At least I think it was flour.

R536 We agreed to never mention it again! I was just trying to meet new people.

Actually the title should be: A Night IN Christopher Atkins’s Blond Heaven.

R539 “I also had a strange sticky substance that had dried on my face. And a curious soreness in my butthole.”

“What happened?”

The guy on the right was Julian McMahon from "Nip/Tuck" . They made the movie "Wet and Wild Summer!" together.

R542 So the obvious DL question is-did they bone? More specifically, did Julian McMahon fuck Christopher Atkins tight, All American ass with his big Aussie cock?

No? Just in my fevered imagination you say? Blushes.

R542 the title screams gay sex

R542.... that movie was quite sexy, both of them showed nude ass and in speedos/bikini's.. have to say in comparing the two in that movie Mcmahon wins hands down.. he was so so pretty back then and a rare sight hairy....

Reminds me when Mcmahon first appeared on the soap opera ANOTHER WORLD and his character was first seen in I think his very first episode in the world's smallest bikini going for a swim in a pool..

Let’s remember that Chris Atkins OWNS THIS THREAD.

R546 He owns this thread, and our hearts.

^Agreed! He’s among the most masturbated to sex symbols-by gay men-of all time.

I definitely would not have kicked Chris Atkins out of bed for farting!

Who wrote his Wikipedia entry? It basically talks about how often he took off his clothes and what a bad actor he was. I’m not disputing the truth of it-ha ha-but surely if he had a hand in it, he’d want something more flattering out there?

[quote]Who wrote his Wikipedia entry?

Willie Aames?

R551 Ha ha! Battle of the twinks?

^ I know what battle of the twinks I’D like to see!

Poor Willie Aames! He’d been acting for years before Chris Atkins came along in The Blue Lagoon. But after Paradise tanked, he was written off as an Atkins clone.because the movie was such a blatant rip-off. That must have really rankled him.

Has anyone seen Blue Lagoon lately? It’s appallingly bad. Chris is sexy though. No denying that.

Who watches it for the plot?

R556 Fair enough. He’s one of those “actors” who doesn’t seem to have a single good movie to his credit. Yet still acting. Now THAT’S a feat. He should get up everyday and thank that ass in the mirror.

[quote]He should get up everyday and thank that ass in the mirror.

I thank his ass every morning.

R558 I’d like to THANK his ass for everything it’s meant to me over the years. Thank it with my tongue, my fingers, my…

I wonder what the actual Christopher Atkins would think about this thread? Does he truly know the extent of the continued sexualization some of us have for him? A lot of the comments here are pretty lascivious ha ha!

When he gives interviews he usually acknowledges his old Blue Lagoon sex image and the importance of his predominantly gay male fan base to his career. But it’s sure not on his social media accounts, which are some of the most boringly hetero you’ll ever see. That’s fine, but I find it a little schizoid. Of all the 80s teenthrobs, any right-wingish leanings on his part would be the most hypocritical.

I'm surprised that this thread has not seen the usual " I'm more interested in real men," or " He looks like a lesbian" trolls. Could it be that they lusted over him in their youth?

I had a big crush on Atkins but his character on Dallas seemed pervy and way too into John Ross. I swear, Peter seemed to be using Sue Ellen to close to the kid.

That's not on Atkins, that's on Dallas.

R56 This thread has had it’s share of the “real men” posters, but you’re right, it’s been remarkably free of cunts for the most part.

R562 Huh? I think you’re on your own there.

R562... i hear you, didn't help that atkin's character was always in a tiny speedo around him, john ross, as well even though that was the custom wear from that era...

Forget the creepy John Ross insinuations-which I don’t see-the Sue Ellen/ Peetah Dallas pairing rang false because Atkins, in his teeny, tiny little speedo, and twinkish persona, was so obviously geared to gay tastes. Sue Ellen was a stand in for all the chicken -hawks who tuned in salivate over Atkins every week. It made the straight audience uncomfortable almost right across the board.

A JR/Peter pairing, now THAT I would have tuned in to see every week!

For a 72 y/o he still looks great! Checked out a gay site which ranks celeb. if they are suspected of being gay, and he comes in as 72% suspected! (my word!) I can believe it, as my 'Gaydar' would go bonkers every time he was shown stripped down! (He still has that 'look!'). Wish there were more like him, today!

[quote]For a 72 y/o he still looks great!

How does he look for 62?

R566.. well said and true... sue ellen was horny 24/7 but she would have never gone for a twinkish character like atkins... young built stud sure, but not a atkins type.... imagine a jon erix hexum as the swim coach in a speedo would have been waaaaay more her type....

another example is when sue ellen had has her personal whenever she needed it stud, jack scalia's character. While he was a "pretty boy" scalia was ALL MAN and MANLY MASCULINE.. going from atkins to scalia is almost comical and unrealistic...

Since we’re reminiscing about his DALLAS days…

[quote]she would have never gone for a twinkish character like atkins

She did, once.

R571 Hawt! I used to jack my dick raw to those speedo scenes. When I could sneak alone time late at night, when the fam had all gone to bed. Just me, in the dark in the basement room, the volume on the TV turned down to a whisper, the family VCR, the huge clunky pause button-irritatingly noisy those!- and sexy little Chris in his sexy little blue speedo. Good thing my family all loved Dallas, so we taped it every week!

I “watched” Gregory Harrison’s made for TV stripper movie in exactly the same way around that same time. Ah the furtive, horny rituals of closeted gay youth in the suburbs in the 80s!

R573... I THINK WE WERE SEPARATED AT BIRTH! laugh!

I would do the same thing and to many many more "cough cough" events on TV..

Staying home sick when I knew the chippendales or other male stripper groups were on tv that day so being "sick" i could have my bedroom door closed and go to town on myself watching!.... in the evening, if they (the chips and other strippers) would be on entertainment tonight or some short time entertainment program, I would purposely take a shower shortly before they came on, so i would then be in my bedroom with the door closed and locked, since you know i was getting dressed after my shower, so not to arouse suspicion and then knowing that I was actually going to jack away timing my privacy when they would come on the TV! laugh!

remember waking up in the early a.m. hours to watch the homoerotic movie with reb brown called "Sssssss" with the no doubt most homoerotic shower scene ever, and whacking away, thinking at the time I had to do this because then, I didn't know that there was going to be such things as DVDS and VIDEOTAPES with that movie available!...

And of course doing the same thing with countless soft porn late night cable movies, as long as the guy in them in the sex scenes was handsome and built...

THANK THE UNIVERSE FOR THE INVENTION OF VCR'S AND DVD RECORDER/PLAYERS!....

I was so so sneaky! laugh!..

R571... thanks for the clip... ANYONE watching this clip notice the line of Sue Ellen at the 2:21 mark? "besides, I can't think of any place that you wouldn't fit in perfectly"!! talk about your double entredre!... laugh!..

looking at this clip though, while atkins is pretty in the face, his body is quite average, athletic at best, but the speedo and bulge is nice...

strange how our society as changed so much, that a guy wearing a speedo at a recreational pool would be so out of place and draw so much negativity and even shock?....

I am amused by R570 and others who somehow seem very sure that they know exactly what the extent and limits of Sue Ellen's sexual tastes would be.

R576... R570 here and I guess your comment was addressed to me and others.. All I am saying, the contrast between atkins and his character and scalia and his character is pretty wide.. i don't know if the majority of men or in this case women's "sexual taste" vary THAT much....

then again, her character was so horny (like leslie ann warren's character in "a night in heaven') .... she would have fucked pretty much any guy who was nice looking and horny as well...

R576 Fair point. Obviously, the makers of Dallas decided that it was entirely credible that fictional character Sue Ellen could fall for twunkish Peter. Just as obviously, there are some women in the real world who also go for that type. My point was that the majority straight audience didn’t dig it. The press was mostly bad and the Atkins character was gone after one season.

Christopher Atkins had a big gay following right from the beginning of his career. One that persists to this day. They followed him right into Dallas. Fortunately for him, that helped with the ratings. Unfortunately for him, we’re not the majority.

I think the whole point of the Atkins casting was Sue Ellen was so desperate for any man, even one barely out of his teens, that found her attractive and showed her even the least attention she’d be willing to bed. I remember how Lucy was hot for him and he didn’t reciprocate because he had the hots for Sue Ellen lol.

R574 Yes I think some gay experience were pretty much universal:). Sounds like you were even more “inventive” than I was though ha ha! I’ve somehow managed to miss “Ssssss” over the years however. I’ll have to Google it one of these days. I was also obsessed with all things Chippendale’s back in the day.

Since we’re on the subject of beating off to Christopher. Atkins, I have to mention his Playgirl issue. I switched my allegiances from TV and VCR’s to magazines because of that issue. Much less work! Why? Because I could lock my bedroom door! I could get my masturbatory Atkins fix pretty much anytime I wanted. Mind, that came with the risk of my mother finding said magazine in the various hiding places I kept it!

Anyone else have the A Night In Heaven beefcake poster tacked up on their wall?

R580! shame on you for not knowing about much less seeing that infamous super homoerotic shower scene of reb brown's movie "Sssssss"! just kidding! made in 1973, reb brown (uber stud of the 70's who was known for playing built bullies, except for his 2 cheesy but entertaining captain american tv movies, but by all accounts was the total opposite in real life, a big sweet down to earth teddy bear), reb was 25 and it was his first movie as well!

the shower scene has EVERYTHING that could be defined as homoerotic! One has to think it was intentional!... nudity, voyeurism, phallic symbols, reversal power trip of age over youth, mind over muscle, sexualized orgasmic expressions and on and on!...

I don't know if this scene is available anywhere online, but there are photos and gif's of it... the movie is on dvd for purchase as well.....

Everyone knows that Sue Ellen had a penis.

OP You’re going to have to start a new thread. This one’s getting up to 600!

OP You’re going to have to start a new thread. This one is almost at 600!

This thread, like Atkins' ass during the 80s, is stuffed nearly full!

Christopher Atkins: sloppy party bottom?

^I STILL wouldn’t mind stuffing his ass in 2022.

God I wanted to bang him in the 80’s. I wonder how much money it would take now?

Anyone have any good “Atkin’s on the casting couch”fantasies?

[quote]Anyone have any good “Atkin’s on the casting couch”fantasies?

Not quite casting couch, but as I've said, I had read reports that the director was giving Atkins a LOT of attention during filming, and I had fantasies of the two of them going off behind a tree somewhere so the director could spend some time manipulating Chris's dick inside of his loincloth to make sure that it fit just right....

That probably happened.

R591 Comfort's important! He wouldn't want his star to feel all constricted.

They needed a hunky surfing lifeguard named Hank to make sure Chris stayed safe ... and warm.

Oh, yeah, I guess he could have looked out for Brooke too - eh.

You fellas are so tame! I’m afraid my fantasies are much raunchier. My fantasy would be about Chris going down on some leering, balding, cigar-chomping producer to get a part in a movie. It would end with a big, sloppy cum load all over Chris’s face..

Sometimes it involves him offering up that perfect ass.

^Barry Diller.

R595 That ass deserved better than some small-dicked old fat fuck!

That How Did this Get Made? Podcast episode on this movie honestly is really one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever heard.

They spend like 25 minutes discussing the scene in the trailer park near the beginning trying to figure out the relationships between the characters and I’m not sure if they really make any headway.

Jason Mantzoukas: I can’t figure out who people are to each other!?!? I’m not kidding!! Who’s the main character!? Whose story is this movie telling!?

[quote]Has anyone seen Blue Lagoon lately? It’s appallingly bad. Chris is sexy though. No denying that.

Bitch please, beautiful music, amazing island shots and gorgeous naked people. You're no fun.

In describing THE BLUE LAGOON as "appallingly bad," I don't think the poster was referring to the music, the photography, or the physical beauty of Atkins and Shields. I'm guessing he meant the direction, the script, and the acting. And I agree.
