You call yourselves pervy fangirls and fanboys, yet...

...none of you posted about Robert Pattinson kissing another man and doing gay sex scenes for an upcoming movie. It's called Little Ashes, and (making matters substantially odder) he plays a young Salvador Dali, and I bet I'll be able to keep from snickering right up to the moment when he starts wearing the crazy up-swooped mustache. But in that kiss photo linked above, at least, and thus presumably in some of the film, he's clean-shaven.

I just have to chuckle, since a role like that is such a perfect way to discombobulate shallow teen fans. They're used to their heartthrobs doing predictable chick-flicks, action films, and heartwarming family dramas, not moving straight from Twilight to a biopic about an eccentric Spanish painter. For that, RPattz, I give you bonus points.

AND! This is what I like: It is about Dali and Garcia Lorca!!!
Don't care who plays the roles... its about time for more people to become familiar with the name F. Garcia Lorca.

They'll be educating me on him too. I had heard the name, but not read the poetry. Looked up a couple of poems online, though (in translation, of course)--quite appealing!

Hope it's better than that Leo diCaprio film about Verlaine and Rimbaud...

I saw about 20 minutes of Total Eclipse on the gay cable channel Logo and had to switch it off. Even David Thewlis couldn't save it.

Hah, I'd forgotten that was David Thewlis. In fact, I'd forgotten mostly everything about that movie, except that it was a bummer.
