THE FUTURIST!'s Top 5 Guys He'd Go Gay For

DURING a Twitter "give and take" of comical context, THE FUTURIST! was in a 3-way (let him finish the sentence) 140 character "conversation" with Jeremy Mathews (Buster Keaton Enthusiast) of Salt Lake City, Utah and author of The Same Dame, a blog about film. The other person in this communication was David Quin, THE FUTURIST!'s favorite idle Scotsman. The discussion, of sorts, was started by Quin stating he'd "go gay for" Orson Welles. Of course, if THE FUTURIST! had been drinking a liquid at the time of reading that sentence, he would have performed a spit take of epic vaudevillian splendor. It was soon clarified that David Quin would have "gone gay" for the corpulent bearded Whales, uh Welles, ... not just the younger more svelte and polished Orson of 1941. He said that the sexual alarm bells would start ringing as soon as Welles said he had directed CITIZEN KANE ... no matter his girth. After hearing that, THE FUTURIST! immediately did pour a drink, sip it and then DID do a spit take of Cecil B. DeMille Red Sea parting proportions. Quin pointed out other men he said he'd go gay for including Robert Downey Jr., David Hemmings and the current Doctor Who Matt Smith. Quin asserted, however, he was all heterosexual, but was confident enough with his seemingly straight sense of self *cough cough* to make these fantasy assertions.

This all led to THE FUTURIST! writing that it would be humorous if he and Jeremy Mathews made a list of men they would "go gay" for and create dual blog posts exposing these names of the men. The names were qualified as those in Film, Authors, Artists, etc. So, as part of THE FUTURIST!'s occasional TOP 5 LISTS, which appear here as observations from Utter Despair, THE FUTURIST! presents his list.

THE FUTURIST! and Jeremy discussed whether the men should be of the past or present ... it was never quite determined, so THE FUTURIST! is creating a list that will specify when he would or would have gone gay for the person.

To relax you, dear reader, as you peruse,
let THE FUTURIST! provide some mood music.
This is very psychologically revealing for THE FUTURIST!

THE FUTURIST!'s TOP 5 GUYS HE'D GO GAY FOR

(in alphabetical order)

1. JAMES BADGE DALE

He can be seen currently on the

AMC Television show RUBICON

THE FUTURIST! has been told Mr. Dale was on the

HBO series THE PACIFIC and on 24, but on

that program he sported a shaved pate.

THE FUTURIST! prefers the curly wavy grayish

riding atop his furrowed brow as pictured above.

2. HUGH DANCY

THE FUTURIST! could write more about

what a good actor Mr Dancy is or how he can produce

impeccable American accents or how he looks in Autumnal

sweaters or corduroy or a suit and tie,

but from the picture above, it appears that Mr. Dancy is facially

expressing how perturbed he feels appearing on this list.

THE FUTURIST! will cease and move on ...

3. F. SCOTT FITZGERALD

What more can THE FUTURIST! write?

Who wouldn't want to have cocktails with a sauced up

Fitzgerald and make sexual filthy illusions

about his Great Gatsby?

Oh, he was Beautiful and THE FUTURIST! is Damned.

4. JEAN PIERRE LEAUD

Truffaut's movie creation of Antoine Doinel

was perfectly cast with this somewhat look-alike

of the director himself.

THE FUTURIST! couldn't decide on which to select.

The Director or The Actor?

Wait ...

THE FUTURIST! can't speak French, but

he can say...

Menage a trois?

5. TERENCE STAMP

THE FUTURIST! would definitely Go Gay

for the 60s era Stamp.

Look at him above in that shot from MODESTY BLAISE.

Very handsome and he can be oh so innocent and then devilish.

THE FUTURIST! is not interested in the General Zod Stamp

of SUPERMAN II ... especially when

he was in that black S&M Krypton outfit

and demanded people to kneel before him.

THE FUTURIST! would kneel for him, but

only circa 1965 or so.

AND NOW THE WILD CARD GUY THE FUTURIST!

WOULD GO GAY FOR ...

JAMES McAVOY

Yes, he would be the Wild Card.

Why?

Because he can look quite strange at times ...

like a bug eyed creature with a sickly countenance.

But, THE FUTURIST! would definitely

consider him .... ONLY he if wears a tuxedo.

In this case, the clothes do make the man.

At least, for THE FUTURIST!
