from hattie mcdish on SF

"Friends spotted the actor Laurence Fishburne with a blond male date/companion half his age this weekend at a GAY club on Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood. They actually hung out and spoke to him for a brief time and said he seemed comfortable, and was not hiding the fact that he prefers boys."

Um, on a related topic, I was thinking about the big climactic
scene in the original Matrix -- between Neo and the Agent, Smith.

Even though they use guns in the alternate universe, Neo does
not resort to guns to destroy Agent Smith. Instead, he penetrates him.
Picture the scene in your head -- doesn't Neo plunge his fist into
Agent Smith and enter him, causing him to burst?

Think about the double entendres in that.

^ I love you avatar, Brit!

I always thought Laurence Fishburne was kind of pretentious, starting when he went from being known as "Larry" to "Laurence" (to get more "serious" roles I assume, Morhpeus?). But gay is a new one.

Huh. Interesting. I'm rather shocked too....

CherryDarling · January 20th, 2006, 07:12 PM

Whoa...this one came out of left field. Never would've guessed.

NawdleZouss · January 20th, 2006, 07:20 PM

Damn...guess I don't stand a chance.

Too well spoken to be straight. Always enunciated properly, almost prissily. That, and there was NO chemistry between him and that woman in the matrix sequels at all.

never seen him kiss a woman either, on film.

CherryDarling · January 20th, 2006, 08:13 PM

Grimm, I never thought about it from that aspect...hmmm, very good point!

VelcroJumper · January 20th, 2006, 09:48 PM

No way, remember he had a sex scene with Ellen Barkin in that shit movie, The Company. Although, now that I think about it, he didn't seem into it and talked through the whole thing. Hmm.

and isn't he the one who always shows up wearing a kilt? LOL

mia981 · January 24th, 2006, 07:22 AM

Oooh, I loved her in Serenity and FireFly. I didn't even know he was married....
