Blanc Is a queer in Knives Out Sequel

Is his accent any better?

Why is this follow-up to this movie so ‘hotly anticipated’ when the movie sucked and had no climax nor plot even though all the elements were there and the actors are all admittedly likable?

Just let them have a round table and be done with it.

There's another thread that got here before you. You are too late.

Can we please say he's gay? I hate that fucking working 'queer.'

And Daniel Craig nor his character in Knives Out would identify as queer.

Gay Gay Gay.

r4 This topic deserves its own thread.

There are two reasons I prefer "queer". 1) The word "gay" implies we are not to be taken seriously. Sorry, I do not walk around with an insipid smile on my face. I don't flounce around and I'm not giddy. I'm a very serious man. I believe gay is the new "negro", outmoded and on its way out.

2) LGBTQIA+ is too cumbersome. Give us one word which covers all rebel sexuality. "Queer" is the most logical alternative to the alphabet soup.

R5. 'Queer' is an unpleasant, unattractive, ugly, derogatory, divisive, harmful, hurtful word.

I don't want to own it. I don't want anything to do with it. And no, I wasn't called queer when I was younger. I just hate the word

Gay is perfectly acceptable and has more than one meaning. It does not imply you giddily 'flounce' around as you say. And 'rebel sexuality' has no meaning.

r6 "Rebel sexuality" I was just looking for a different term than "heteronormative".

"Gay" refers to males only. At least in "LGBT" women reject it. Lesbians want their own 'L'. They don't want to be 'G' with us. And what about bisexuals? When I'm with a man I'm a homo whether or not I love women as well.

Sorry, "gay" has to go. If you can think of a better word, I'm all for it. But ever since the 90's and Queer Alliance, "queer" is replacing "gay".

I hate to break it to you R5, but I don’t think that the term “queer” is going to be taken any more seriously than “gay.” “Queer” is much, much ickier.

So… if Daniel Craig’s character is “queer”, and the area chubby girl with purple hair and bad tattoos is “queer”, and the local straight guy who gets aroused dressing in women’s clothes is “queer”, and the lipstick lesbian in a polyamorous relationship is “queer”, and the teenage boy with Asperger’s who is deeply into Anime is “queer”, what the fuck does it even mean??????

r8 "Queer" is the accepted term now among the politically aware. I attended college at UCLA. The LGBT student group there is known as the Queer Alliance. Ditto across the nation.

We're here. We're queer. Get used to it.

r9 It means it's nobody business but mine where I stick my dick. "Queer" covers all of it. It's inclusive without listing every alternative.

Queer erases gays and lesbians.

Go ahead, define what queer means. I guarantee there will be no one left out of your definition, including straights, fetishists, and pedos. That's the fucking problem with the word 'queer'. When something means everything, it ultimately means nothing at all.

Can anyone define "Queer"?

Genuine question.

Let’s be completely honest R11. Gays (men and women) are the only ones that matter in the alphabet soup. The rest are bullshit and you know it.

R13. When you try to make a word mean everything, it means nothing. This alphabet soup mess needs to end. A transgender person belongs in the gay community about as much as a Mormon housewife belongs in a porno theater.

I’m okay with queer instead of lgbtqiaa

But it’s a specific person and not a group, then go with what they are.

Benoit is a gay male character.

PlatonicCaveman's troll career, though already somewhat longer than KatherineTheeGreat's recent blaze of glory, will surely reach the same conclusion as hers before long, i.e. grey strikethrough and red troll number.

On a different note: the character's accent is ridiculous and Daniel Craig was mediocre. The movie was NOT a hit because of him but because of the plot and the ensemble cast. I understand why he wants to do this since he's aged out of real action roles and Bond, but I think the filmmaker really overestimates how much the film's success was about him.

His character is gay; they only reason they're using the word queer is because it's POS HuffPo.

This guy is ugly and he’s a terrible actor

R1 yes, that accent was cringeworthy. I think he was trying to channel Colonel Sanders.

mf.

If gays think that the media’s overuse and casual use of the word “queer” is not going to come back and bite you in the ass, you’ve got another thing coming.

Queer = white, purple hair, overweight, heterosexual

Queers (heteros) will be the death of Gay Rights.

r5 only LGB are sexualities. The rest is all about feelings. We need to revert to simply LGB and the other alphabetties can go off and do their own thing - you too.

I agree, R26. And I never assumed Craig's character in Knives Out was heterosexual in the first place.

Who plays his boyfriend ?

[quote] The movie was NOT a hit because of him but because of the plot and the ensemble cast. [...] I think the filmmaker really overestimates how much the film's success was about him.

Well, this film will have a similar type of plot, and another ensemble cast. I don't think the filmmaker believes the success was mainly down to the Blanc character - he's just using him as an element of continuity, to tie together films with similar but unrelated plots and ensembles.

R29- Fair enough, I suppose, but do continuity characters really develop the way this one would if it turns out he is gay or "queer" or whatever? Does Hercule Poirot change? Does Miss Marple?

What was the taunting line in Knives Out? "NCIS: KFC."

Jeffrey Wright should be cast as the love interest.
