Hello everyone and hello to all, how are you?
Again start the week with some news quite greedy and almost exclusively, and I wanted to begin to tell you that, apparently, the actor Jamie Bell return to engage the gay audience around the world after its historic and moving interpretation of little Billy Elliot .. .
Obviously the time has passed, and now that the star of Billy Elliot has twenty-five years preparing to make inroads into the gay community in a form quite different. For it is to debut in a film in which she plays Esca, a young British at the time of Roman domination (around the year 140) ... 
The story is taken from the book The Eagle of the Ninth, the first chapter in a long series written - since 1954 - by Rosemary Sutcliff (1920-1992), and said - basically - Bait and friendship between the young Roman Marcus Aquila (played by that big handsome boy by the name of Channing Tatum), in search of the ninth Roman legion, of which traces have been lost mysteriously ... The film is called The Eagle and just recently debuted in the U.S. (in Europe will be in March) ... 
They tell me it is a film that lends itself to a healthy dose of gay-friendly interpretations ... We'll see. What is certain is that I do not be surprised if there was some quote blinking just to gratify the audience appreciates this kind of innuendo (and, it seems, is always growing). In any case it is still nice to see that the interposed Billy Elliot, in time, was held in shape. And speaking of films with protagonists who keep in shape, now I also wanted to tell you that recently in Japan are increasing the films adapted from popular manga in sports, especially those who arrived for the first time in Italy in the '80s in the form of animated series ... From those for girls (which are also attracted a fair result at the time of future gay), such as Mimi and national volleyball ... 
But Jenny the player, who arrived in Italy with the unforgettable symbol pseudo-political sung by Nico Fidenco ("Right, left ... left, right ... The crowd watching, screaming ...") and protests that in recent years has felt the wagons several Italian Gay Pride ... 
As movie making decent starting from sports manga is much easier (and cheaper) to set up productions inspired by manga-rich are difficult to translate in a "live action", lately it seems that the Japanese have discovered a new genre for their film ... A trend that is inspired by manga and anime series that, for years, have made generations of gay fantasies in the bud in our country. As For example, one dedicated to the boxer Rocky Joe , which, having been a sort of forbidden homoerotic dream - especially for his love / hate relationship with the opponent Ricky Toro - from December the Japanese invaded the cinema with his version live ... 
For the record: the demanding title role was entrusted to the singer Tomohisa Yamashita, who on this occasion had to undergo hard training and had to lose nine pounds. I must admit that the latest live versions of some Japanese historians Japanese cartoons have even surprised me, making me reflect on a range of allusions and implied that I had never thought ... Such as in the case of boy Sampei fisherman, in whose charm can also be discussed (no accounting for taste), but which ignored the obvious implication symbolic ... But I have become very clear looking at the poster for the film came out two years ago ... 
I who are mischievous or this is one of the most phallic movie posters of film history? I do not know if the designers have realized what they were doing, but something tells me that it was not just an oversight. It is certain that, soon, will be put into production a film inspired an animated series that really has tickled many fantasies, especially among fans of the future fight erotica, it is also the starting line to the live-action film inspired by 'Tiger Man ... 
Time: on this character and its homoerotic implications hypothetical and / or homosexual you could write for hours, because even the mild character of the protagonist of the first series (Naoto Date) out of the ring is well suited to a range psychological interpretations of interesting ... Especially considering its almost zero interest for women, his attitude almost "motherly" towards children in his former orphanage and the fact that the ring was unleashed like a beast (sublimate instincts unmentionable ?)... Not to mention his eyebrows and his gaze from Bambi sweet ... 
However, assumptions aside, the fact remains that that - with its bloody battles on the basis of half-naked men - this character has sublimated to a number of years in shameful fantasies for generations of viewers ... And I think at some point, the writers must have had even want to joke about it, because they did fight with opponents like Mr. No (you see below) ... 
I know you are thinking it is a joke, or maybe a montage ... But in reality it is what it seems ... However, since this is the blog that shows you what no one else shows you, and I will show detailed evidence here of Here we show the sequence question (and dubbed in Italian, in order to appreciate). Given that certainly is one of the most unintentionally funny scenes in the history of Japanese animation (I wonder if the Italian voice actors were aware of what they were doing ...), I think that gives exactly the extent of what I meant. For the record, a second animated incarnation of the character debuted in the '70s, and - although the women seemed more interested than his predecessor - did not change the spirit of the original series vaguely homoerotic.
addition, the Tiger Man, unlike many of his colleagues animated, did not need a movie to become flesh and blood, because since 1981 there have been several wrestling Japanese who have played the role (of course after the granting of exploitation rights), from Satoru Sayama ( you see in the picture below). 
Currently we arrived at the fifth wrestler in Japan is pursuing the myth of the Tiger: the latest incarnation of the character is that offered by the professional wrestler Ikuhisa Minowa (photo below), which debuted in July as Tiger Man 2010 and is probably the cutest wrestler of all those who have received the inheritance of brindle coat ... 
Some gay Japanese have already started to fantasize about him, waiting for the next film production? It is highly probable, also because this athlete is within the professional wrestling for several years (the Japanese wrestling is different from the American athletes and involves real martial artists), and surely has already offered a lot of interesting material for genre fetishists "wrestling" ... 
In any case, you can bet that the movie has just gone into production a few pleasant surprises in store for gay-friendly, to the delight of everyone - even in our country - have fantasized about Man Tigre (and it is useless to deny it, because I know very well that you did!). Small observation: from USA to Japan all are discovering the immense cinematic potential of comics and cartoons ... So much so that Germany has just come out even the film Vickie the Viking ... 
Italy, however, continues to avoid fish in the comic tradition, even when he could make movies inspired by stories that do not require large investments in terms of special effects. Imagine, then, if someone in our part of the comics would consider even remotely gay-friendly ... On this subject we would be very much to talk about, and probably would be just the tip of the iceberg. The hope, of course, is that things will change for the better as soon as possible ... Although it probably should not hold your breath waiting for that in our part of the world of comics is gratified by such initiatives. the next.
