Kiss me. Can't here. A present from me (and K) to you

[hackthis_archive]

Many many moons ago, kattiya told me of a legend. The legend of James Dean and Paul Newman. Yes, pause. Breathe. The story goes that Paul Newman and James Dean did a screen test years ago for East of Eden, which you know, is a lot of hotass in one place, but the money shot being that they were involved. I was understandably dubious. And then I saw the clip below.

Whether the shenanigans went down before, during or after this test I'll let you judge, but let me tell you, I can't even call this UST. I know couples that don't ignite like this. In fact, let's call it, as kattiya says, "There is stuff happening." You cannot listen to Paul's nervous laugh, see the way he looks at Jimmy, or the way they mention *kissing* and call this straight.

The only straight thing here is the camera angle. Enjoy, babies.

There's a better version of the second half

So. Where is the slash for this? C'mon folks.

Ooh, I remember the "kiss me" part of this clip from The Celluloid Closet, which was a documentary about old school queer Hollywood that's totally worth checking out if you like this kind of thing. The Red River stuff makes me LOL to this day.

I remember seeing the Celluloid Closet at some point. Vaguely. I drink copiously; do not hold this shady memory against me. ;-)
