Arreat Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 http://www.hollywood.com/news/detail/id/3582536 Boys, our prayers have been answered. Beyonce and Longoria in Lesbian Love Affair By WENN| Friday, November 10, 2006 Beyonce Knowles HOLLYWOOD - Hollywood sirens Beyonce Knowles and Eva Longoria are teaming up on screen to play lesbian lovers. The pop star and Desperate Housewives actress have been approached to star in period piece Tipping the Velvet, to be directed by Sofia Coppola. Based on a raunchy Sarah Waters novel, it tells the tale of an 1890s music hall star and her lover. Longoria says, "Yes it's true, we're talking about doing that. It's such a wonderful novel, a beautiful love story. Knowles adds, "We've had Brokeback Mountain so the time is right for this divine novel to get the same treatment." We just need to endure Beyonce's terrible acting LOL
jon_hill987 Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 The BBC already did a version of that. They didn't cast a "pop star" for the lead though... This will be the worst thing since... ever!
Pie™ Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 I don't see anything bad with two young healthy women being intimate.

IG-64 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Wouldn't it be better for the gay community if they kept sex out of it? In fact, I think it would be better if they kept sex out of movies in general. I mean you can imply it but we don't need to all see it. Sex is supposed to be a private, sensual thing; not open for all the world to see. Personally, I think watching a sex scene at the theater with all those people around is just creepy.

I'd say something to the effect of "Sex rools, u dork!" but that would be offensive and disrespectful to the corpse of cinematic drama and story.
El Sitherino Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 I remember a time when sex in cinema was capable of holding some value. Now it's simply a tool to make an otherwise straight to video movie a blockbuster.
manoman81 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 So....what you're saying is that Hollywood is really out of ideas? Nothing like kicking a dead horse and trying to get guys out of their basements to go to the theaters... Stepping down from my soapbox, Eva is a gorgeous woman. Beyonce, not so much...

edlib Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 I'm not sure I fully understand... the overwhelming interest most folks have in this movie has to do with the fact that we might get to see a little bit of simulated sex between 2 women, a fairly attractive white woman, and a fairly attractive African-American one? And we need to wait for this movie to be produced and released WHY??!? Gather round now, children, and listen closely to your kindly uncle edlib while he explains a few things about the workings of the World-Wide-Web... Without the promise of sapphic action between 2 currently popular celebrities, there's probably no way this film could ever get made.

Jeff Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 I kind of doubt the movie itself will be any good but it will probably still be a huge hit because of this.
edlib Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 TK-8252 said: Hawt. Indeed. But my point was there are plenty of opportunities to see the same thing out there, if you have a web connection. Probably just as simulated... but in many cases, appearing less so... if you catch my meaning. (Thank those crafty kids with their Photoshop skillz.) Or if you don't mind non-celebrities... even more chances to see the same thing with no simulation. Please don't make me have to spell it out.
Totenkopf Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 @Pie,BB, CO--I agree, so long as it's with me. Last I checked it was much more fun hands on than as a spectator sport. Also, agree with edlib's take on theatrical version of movie, though cable more likely to host that kind of thing. Either that, or art houses and film festivals.
BongoBob Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Whoever goes to see this movie for the theatrical value is insane. That's like going to see Snakes On A Plane for a deep plot instead of for the lulz.

Considering everybody here has access to modern society's sum total production output of pornography with the touch of a button, the female Brokeback thing will more than likely seem very tame by comparison. Still, I can think of a lot worse things to be looking at for two hours than Beyonce getting frisky with Eva Longoria...gay cowboys eating pudding being one of them...

Sabretooth Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 In my naive opinion, this seems to be a rather horrible excuse for a celebrity porn video.
