#Play it Cool

[bitter69uk]

Born on this day 84 years ago: luscious, pouting rock’n’roll heartthrob and "British Elvis" Billy Fury (real name: Ronald Wycherley, 17 April 1940 - 28 January 1983). I’m such a keen Fury devotee I’ve even been known to suffer through Play It Cool (1962) the virtually unwatchable cheap’n’cheerful rock’n’roll musical he starred in (think of it as his “Elvis movie”). As an actor, Fury (doomed to die aged just 42) is merely adequate and visibly uncomfortable onscreen, but so moody and exquisitely photogenic it scarcely matters. (Like Presley, in his close-ups Fury clearly favours heavy mascara and eyeliner). For anyone unfamiliar with his music, The Sound of Fury (1969) is his chef-d'œuvre. It represents the closest a UK artist came to capturing the grit of American rockabilly. But I also love Fury’s lush, soaring pop ballads like “Last Night Was Made for Love” and “Halfway to Paradise”.

#20 Déjate querer

A Chris lo abandona su madre con 8 años para dejar que lo crie su abuelo, y después de más de 20 años está convencido de que es incapaz de amar, porque alguien que le dijo que le amaba lo abandonó.

Por eso no se compromete, no sabe qué hacer con alguien después de conseguir que se acueste con él, y desde luego no sabe corresponder, porque no sabe amar. Cuando conoce a Michelle no tiene miedo, ni esperanza, ni nada, porque piensa que será como todas las otras veces.

Chris necesita escribir una historia de amor y no tiene ninguna referencia así que se deja llevar hasta enamorarse casi sin querer de Michelle que tiene los mismos problemas que él, y confunde el amor con la estabilidad, el dinero y la presencia que tiene su prometido en su vida, por ello se niega a enamorarse de Chris.

Cuando ya los dos saben que están enamorados de repente se repelen sabiendo que se juegan mucho si entran en una relación, pero así son la relaciones, darle el poder al otro de que sepa tus más oscuros secretos, los acepte y los quiera.

Comedia romántica que flojea bastante, si no fuera por las historias paralelas que cuentan y en las que podemos ver al Chris Evans encarnando cortos personajes que nada tienen que ver con su personaje en el film, y también le aleja bastante del Capitán América.

Oh Felix

So yeah, Awkward Felix thing #193 in this fic.

He's developed Feelings for Ms. Chloé Brougeois.

He's hedging, still keeping up those barriers.

He makes a sentimonster... and it sounds exactly like her.

That's not an affected speech pattern you can play off.

What are your thoughts on DC and Marvel's queer representation in comics (i.e. gay, ace, bi, lesbian, trans)? Where could they improve? Also, Happy New Years! I hope you're well.

Happy new year.

OK so Truth be told I haven't been reading a lot of comics in a while, and not been keeping up with how Marvel/DC have been doing. I have read some of DC's Pride specials and they were alright. Though the obvious improvement would be to have more than one comic a year for some of these characters, and let the characters be queer in more than just the "safe, non-offensive, pride parade" way. I do think there is better representation in the smaller parts of Marvel/DC, where big corporate doesn't look at or care if it "doesn't fit the brand." I still need to read Galaxy the Prettiest Star from DC's YA line, heard that's good and stars an original trans character. The Gwenpool goes through her Ace journey was cool in the panels I saw, and that was in the Marvel Unlimited web comic series.

Probably the big thing that'd help rep is the same thing that'd help comic stories in general, series that past longer than 6-12 issues. Bit hard to have rep if the book they're in gets cancelled before it can get going. Also any newly created queer characters, supporting characters and the like, tend to disappear when the creative team that made them leave the book/get cancelled. So they end up in comic limbo till things like the Pride Specials happen. We need those characters to stick around.

Also DC need to just make Wonder Woman queer and stop dancing around it. It's all corporate branding nonsense that they don't want their big female superhero to face the queerphobic backlash and lose them profits. So they allow little things, elseworlds stuff, but no mainstream canon queer stuff allowed.

Trying to be cool, not like a gawking sophomore, but he was looking.
