WHEN CARREY BONED MCGREGOR
03.20.09I Love You, Phillip Morris, a movie in which Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor play gay lovers, is having a hard time finding a distributor and might end up going straight to DVD. Some people say the reason is that the explicit gay scenes are scaring off buyers. Britain’s Times Online says:
Film industry insiders said the movie, which features a graphic sex scene and frequent references to gay sex, had fallen foul of anti-gay prejudice in America. Britain is one of only a handful of European countries where a deal has been secured to show the movie, which is due for cinema release this summer. The film is currently being re-edited in a last ditch attempt to find an American distributor. If it fails to do so, it will go straight to DVD.
You have to take that with a grain of salt because (1) they quote a nameless source and (2) seem to be congratulating themselves on not being homophobic like us backwoods Americans. CHUD says:
The film, which is very funny and surprisingly touching, does feature explicit gay sex. Really, really explicit gay sex. Involving Jim Carrey. Cumming in a guy’s ass. Yeah, that explicit. [Okay, settle down, I doubt they showed the actual semen]
[Saying the gay scenes are the reason it's not getting picked up] might be a little short-sighted; Phillip Morris has only played Sundance so far, where it got decent but not swooning reviews, and it’s not a cheap movie in indie terms. The film cost about 13 million, so I’m assuming the producers are asking for a [big] chunk of change.
I haven’t seen the movie so I don’t know whether it’s worth seeing, and I don’t think people should be scared off solely because of gay scenes. But I resent the idea that not wanting to watch gay love scenes = homophobic. I have no bias against gay people and I’m willing to sit through gay stuff if the movie’s good, but two dudes kissing is still uncomfortable to watch. There, I said it. Look, I love my grandma too – not wanting to watch her blow a dude on camera doesn’t mean I’m prejudiced against grandmas.


What about two grandmas kissing?
Considering the subject matter, I think the phrase “direct to DVD” would be better.
Most people who love Philip Morris have to say so while covering up their Trach ring, not while taking it in the O-ring
Sweet belt buckle … is that a lion?
If it is, Lion’s Gayte should definitely pick this movie up.
The film, which is very funny and surprisingly touching
It’s really the surprise touching that’ll keep me out of the theater.
I’d sooner suck on a Camel than blow a Phillip Morris. Menthol of course.
WURD
*spins around in chair snapping like Antwon Merryweather
Do the gays always get taken with a grain of salt? I’m so sheltered.
I don’t have a problem with the cumming in the ass thing. But if they cut to Jim reaching for a straw on the nightstand, I’m outta there. I’m no prude, but a guy has to have standards.
“Liiiike a glove!”
Explicit anal sex? Shoulda called it Man In The Moon.
Fabio on the right is FABULOOOOOOOOUS! I wonder how I can get him to smoke my cigarette.
Is it a mystery movie? Do they all get in a van and try to figure out MacGregor’s hair? And is it safe to assume Ewan whips out his dong in this and Angels and Demons per usual?
And who took my shoes?!?
They must have offered this role to Carrey while he was still ‘in character’ for Yes Man.
“Fun with Dick in Phil”
Carrey would work as an enthusiastic bottom or a scary top. Good to keep in mind in this economy.
I wonder what da Staf has to say about this being shown in merry ol’ England. Something tells me he’s the hand candy of gay men everywhere.
Recast it with Rachel Bilson and Zooey Deschanel and I’ll distribute this myself.
<— There you go, momma to be.
Burnsy, I assume by ‘distribute’, you mean ejaculate in the theater?
You know, I smoke cigarettes, but only because I can’t suck dick within 30 feet of a building entrance.
Wait, what?
Are Robert FitzPatrick and Patrick FitzRobert in this? Those guys drink too much.
“Eternal Sunshine of the Spots All Over the Lower Back of Some Gay Dudes Shirt Cause Jim Carey Boned Him In The Ass Earlier in The Closet During Lunch Break”
Sean Penn was originally in talks to play Jim Carrey’s role in this, but turned it down because it was “too gay”.
Ass Ventura? Anybody?
These guys fall in love in prison. So prison rape = love.
By that logic, normal rape = lots of love.
Might have to use that argument at my trial
He, Myself, and I Ream
Every call sheet was labeled as a “Poop Shoot” wasn’t it?
I imagine that watching a gay love scene for many guys would be like watching the video of Joe Namath’s leg breaking over and over. Except, of course, you’d feel it in a different spot.
Cum And Cummer
New up. Much more virgin, but still pretty gay.
Obi-Wan: “I have a bad feeling about this.”
“Look, I love my grandma too – not wanting to watch her blow a dude on camera ”
oh?
/throws away Vince’s birthday present dvd
keyHo, you meant Joe Theisman, bro. And they should have named this “Thruman”.
There, I know nobody will ever read this, but my OCD is happy and I can go on with my day.
“You have to take that with a grain of salt”
You comin onto me fella?

Saw it at Sundance = MEH. The best part of the movie was watching the sign language interpreters in the front act out the gay sex scenes for the deaf people. Being as they were most likely recent BYU graduates, it was HILARIOUS.
