One Do Not Go There Blind Vice

Yep, it’s yet another fagola Blind tale. Get used to it, is all I have say—this town’s friggin’ filled to the brim with boy-lovin’ boys who don’t exactly want the world to know that’s how they swing. Except perhaps when their sexuality supposedly prevents them from employment. Take the case with Cress Finesse, one of those hybrid dudes who does it all at one of the studios, including directing films known for their mucho classy ambition.
Howev, Cress’ deal (C.F. has other gigs elsewhere, to be sure) was not picked up at that par-tick place of employment. Understandably, this did not please Cress. In fact, Cress, a handsome enough guy who knows his way around fine-tuning his appearance, felt especially uglied by the unfortunate sitch. So much so that Mr. F went to the powers that be who dismissed him and threatened legal action—sexual-orientation discrimination, to be exact—for not picking up the big entertainment deal at hand. Cress’ employers were more than taken aback. They claimed they just wanted to start moving in a "different direction" than the type of work Cress was famous for. But both parties knew the score: C.F.’s frolicking—and sometimes messy—bedroom habits did play a part in the end. It remained a fella fact the studio higher-ups just weren’t too kosher with, such fools. And even though the reticent execs never thought C.F. would follow through suitwise, they did settle.
Which pleased Cress enormously. So would he have sued? Prolly. After all, Cress is getting on a bit. He’s growing tired of the facade. Gosh, must be the only homo in town who is.




And It Ain't

• Ron Howard
• Mel Gibson
• Daniel Futterman

Oliver Stone Edit: I like my guess but Oliver Stone is married. Even though all the "nots" are married, I'm assuming the person wouldn't be so willing to sue if they have a wife.

Cress Finesse is an aging but "good-looking enough" director with "multiple gigs" (he may also be an actor or be involved in another aspect of the entertainment industry). Known for films with "classy ambition" (this=Oscar caliber films to me.) His recent deal did not get picked up by a studio. Turns out it was because he has a reputation for homosexual escapades that the studio bosses didn't like/want to deal with. So he threatened to sue them for sexual orientation discrimination and the studio settled even though the studio bosses doubted he'd have gone through with the lawsuit. Ted thinks he probably would have sued publicly because Cress Finesse is getting older and getting tired of lying about his homosexuality.

Gus VanZant

Great translation! If Tommy Cruise was aging and a director I would have guessed him...but seeing as though thats not the case....

lets go with the inevitable....

George Clooney (I don't think hes gay at ALL or aging, but he sort of fits the bill...)


Maybe DeNiro?

[Jupiter Jones]

Edit: Guz Van Zant *is* openly gay.

[mamaste]

I thought Gus was openly gay. In any case the "nots" have all been actors and directors/producers*. Clooney is a good choice. Maybe Clint Eastwood?

*Amazingly I actually know who Dan Futterman is.

[happy8]

Clooney

[tkdgirl]

Gus is out? Huh. Didn't know that.

[Geisha]

De Niro directs too

[Fluffy]

All three of the "it ain't"s are actors who have been nominated for Oscars in categories other than acting.

[sparkly]

Oh, please tell me it's not M. Night Shyamalan.

[SweetPea]

So then it's an actor/director.

Kevin Costner won a director award = 1 Oscar
Clint Eastwood won a director award = 2 Oscars
Did George Clooney win for director?

[tkdgirl]

I think its Clooney. He's only won for acting, but he's been nominated for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay.
