Matt Bomer confirms that he lost Superman because he was gay

Understandable.

Anyway Bomer should shut up about this because he more than anyone should know that people do very weird unethical things in order to get cast.

Everybody already knew this. Why is it a story again?

Don't come for me, I was just protecting my taint.

Because Bomer made it so. This is the first time he is talking about it. This is because he wants an Emmy.

Previously it was only talked about because Jackie Collins of all people made it public.

He lived it, but you, a complete stranger knows better. OK then.

Bomer has beautiful eyes.

Given how shitty the superhero movies have been, he maybe dodged a bullet

Oh, this is just one more of the never ending reminiscences by multiple people of Why I Did Not Gert : Scarlett O'Hara, Rhett Butler, James Bond, Batman, a Marvel character and on and on.

As long as the OP felt the tedious need to go through this as if from a judge's bench, let's help fix a few things:

[quote]Finding out he was gay certainly did not help him.

Oh, dear.

[quote]But if they really wanted him they would have just had him go in the closet

Oh, dear.

[quote]rival for the role (nobody else wanted it.)

Oh, dear.

[quote]So it would have been Fraser’s agent’s prerogative to out him.

Oh, dear.

[quote]already gotten several injuries

Oh, dear.

[quote]continued to do Fast and Furious movies, and of course this led to him being burned alive in a car.

Oh, dear.

R9 if you're going to cunt, at least do it correctly.

I put this post you wrote into ChatGPT:

[quote]"Please explain everything grammatically wrong with this post: "Yes, men are violent more often, but that's not the point here. Women committing violence against men still receive more passes than men do, not that anyone committing assault should get any passes, period). Our culture generally accepts women slapping, punching, pinching, shoving and otherwise doing harm to men. It's in homes and on the street, and part of tv/media tropes. How many doctoral theses have been presented on this topic, versus the ubiquitous academic pummeling going on concerning normative male domination and subjugation, historical patterns and current crises in othership encapsulation challenges and the self-selected paradigm of gender-based hierarchies?"

Here is an analysis of the grammatical issues in the given post:

1. Unclear Antecedent: • “Yes, men are violent more often, but that’s not the point here.” • The phrase “that’s not the point here” is vague and could be clarified.

2. Redundant Use of Commas and Parentheses: • “Women committing violence against men still receive more passes than men do, not that anyone committing assault should get any passes, period).” • The comma before the parenthesis and the closing parenthesis is unnecessary. Parentheses should not be used here.

3. Inconsistent Tense and Agreement: • “Women committing violence against men still receive more passes than men do, not that anyone committing assault should get any passes, period).” • “receive” should match the subject “Women.” Also, it would be clearer to use the present continuous “are committing” to match the ongoing nature implied by “still.”

4. Misplaced Modifier: • “It’s in homes and on the street, and part of tv/media tropes.” • The subject “It” is unclear. It should specify what “It” refers to.

5. Run-on Sentences and Sentence Fragments: • The sentence “How many doctoral theses have been presented on this topic, versus the ubiquitous academic pummeling going on concerning normative male domination and subjugation, historical patterns and current crises in othership encapsulation challenges and the self-selected paradigm of gender-based hierarchies?” is overly long and convoluted. Break it into clearer, shorter sentences.

6. Unclear Subject and Verb Agreement: • “How many doctoral theses have been presented on this topic, versus the ubiquitous academic pummeling going on concerning normative male domination and subjugation, historical patterns and current crises in othership encapsulation challenges and the self-selected paradigm of gender-based hierarchies?” • The subject “How many doctoral theses” does not clearly connect with the rest of the sentence.

7. Inconsistent Use of Capitalization: • “tv/media” should be “TV/media.”

8. Ambiguity and Complexity: • The phrase “othership encapsulation challenges” is unclear and overly complex. Simplify for clarity.

Here is a revised version of the post for improved grammar and clarity:

“Yes, men are violent more often, but that’s not the point here. Women committing violence against men still receive more leniency than men do. However, no one committing assault should receive any leniency, period. Our culture generally accepts women slapping, punching, pinching, shoving, and otherwise harming men. This acceptance is evident in homes, on the street, and as part of TV/media tropes. How many doctoral theses have been presented on this topic compared to the numerous academic discussions about normative male domination, subjugation, historical patterns, and current crises in gender-based hierarchies?”

This revision addresses the grammatical issues and clarifies the argument.

I also asked it why somebody who makes so many grammatical errors feels confident about correcting other people's grammar.

It can be perplexing when someone who frequently criticizes others’ grammar makes grammatical errors themselves. Here are a few possible reasons why this might happen:

1. Lack of Self-Awareness: They may not realize that their own grammar isn’t flawless. This lack of self-awareness can make them blind to their own mistakes while being hyper-critical of others.

2. Cognitive Bias: This individual may experience a cognitive bias, where they overestimate their own abilities and underestimate those of others. Known as the Dunning-Kruger effect, this bias can lead to an inflated sense of competence.

3. Focus on Content Over Form: When discussing or arguing a point, they may prioritize the content of their message over grammatical accuracy. This can lead to errors in their own writing, even if they are capable of recognizing mistakes in others’ work when they are more detached from the content.

4. Overconfidence: They may feel confident enough in their grammatical knowledge to overlook the need for self-editing or proofreading, assuming their initial drafts are correct.

5. Stress or Distraction: External factors like stress or distraction can cause anyone to make mistakes. If this person frequently writes or speaks in situations where they are under pressure, it might affect their grammar.

6. Intentional or Unconscious Habits: They might have developed certain writing habits that are grammatically incorrect, and these habits persist even when they are aware of the rules.

Understanding these factors can help explain why someone might frequently criticize others’ grammar while making similar errors themselves.

[quote] and of course this led to him being burned alive in a car.

It was his own car. He was not on set.

Worst thread ever.

Yes but he was doing in the exotic automobile because exotica automobiles had become part of his brand because he was the star of the Fast and the Furious movies. If he did not continue making Fast and Furious movies because he was now the star of Superman films, he probably would not have been at that event.

Too old.

Matt Bomer confirms he lost Superman because he was openly gay.

fixed for Bambi

R9 we get it, being a substitute 3rd grade English teacher was the high point of your life but that was 50 years ago. Time to move on .

r17 must you bring your autism to every thread

shouldn't you be stimming or something

It's a bird! It's a plane!

It's SUPER DUCKLING!

Faggier than a speeding tina queen!

More flaming than a local hairstylist!

Able to mount wealthy, connected cocks in a single bound!

Superman Flyby (2005) Dir: Brett Ratner

What the professional, non-show biz queers refuse to acknowledge is that even moderately talented dreamboats like Matt Bomer face largely limited career options when they come out as gay.

This isn't to say they don't get hired, but often must create their own projects as the producers of them. A gay leading man type is never the easy path, it just isn't.

R21, Jonathan Bailey is getting starring parts in major motion pictures costing hundreds of millions, as well as major TV shows. He's one of the most in-demand actors in Hollywood right now.

At least he didn't say his dick was too big for the costume, like everyone else who auditioned around that time.

Nothing new. My morals cost me the lead in Cleopatra.

Matt Bomer is, at best, a network TV actor. I know he did that little thing on Showtime, but he is more suited to 3rd or 4th on the call sheet on a CBS procedural.

He would have made a terrible Superman, gay or straight.

R22 Jonathan Bailey radiated sexiness in Bridgerton.

Bomer would have made an excellent Clark Kent but I don’t know how he would have faired as Superman.

He would not have made a good Superman, correct. Superman is odd because he needs at some level to be very visually intimidating. Bomer is 5’11” with a massive head and relatively compact torso.

The correct choice was Paul Walker. He was 6’2, had a relatively smallish head, the face of an angel and broad shoulders which would have let him build out a massive chest. He would have looked fantastic. Unfortunately he listed to Richard Donner for whatever God knows reason, and ended up doing the T&A film Into the Blue.

Oh please. Brandon Routh was an unknown too. It’s because he is gay out and happy.

R18 does being obsessed with projecting micro labels make up for being fat and nuts?

[quote] “We had conversations and by the end of it, the closing thing I said, ‘Do you think I need it, should I do it?’ He said, ‘For what sake?’ I said, ‘Financially.’ He said, ‘No kid, you do it if you want to do it.’ I said, ‘Well I don’t think I want to die as Superman.’ And he said, ‘Well there’s your answer, don’t do it.’ And that was it.”

Gee thanks Richard! He died in a fire instead.

R28 Paul Walker could never pull off Clark Kent. Too jockey with big dick energy. He never get rid of it. Superman is supposed to be fine of course but has to pull off the meekness of Clark Kent.

R30 I have told you many times

Stop posting goddam image reactions of women

We have already determined you do this because you are a woman who is used to Tumblr discourse

Paul Walker pulled off dorky in Pleasantville

He would have been fine

I love Matt but he would have been really wrong for the role.

R33 petit cadeau

R34 did he though?

"Nothing new. My morals cost me the lead in Cleopatra.—J. Collins, OBE"

The irony...

Jonathan Bailey still plays juveniles basically.

His doe-like brown eyes and intense good looks help, and most guys don't have those.

I’m sure his sexuality figured prominently but let’s not pretend he’s God’s gift to acting.

Superman doesn't require much acting.

These new photos are everything! Does Matt have a boner in the first photo?
