On these platforms? I can promise you I'm not searching for gay shite so it's not my google search data or anything like that.

It seemed to have been ran during every commercial break for "Welcome to Wrexham" on Hulu.

Oh I believe you it must be solely advertised on hulu/youtube tv which I don't use at all.

I haven't seen a single ad through regular cable / direct tv

The audience howled with laughter start to finish, burst into applause at the end and some were wiping away tears as they walked out,” Eichner wrote. “It was truly magical. Really. I am VERY proud of this movie.”


Come the frick on, dude.

Why is he mad at straight people? According to Hollywood nearly everyone in America is LGBTV+, so there should have been hundreds of millions of LGBTV+ going to see the movie. If they didn't go see it they should turn in their rainbow flags and shouldn't be welcome at the next pride parade. He can only be mad at them.

I mean, when Tyler Perry's movies don't do well at the box office is it white people's fault, or is it the black people that didn't go see the movie tailored for them?

I like Rom coms but I don't have an interest in gay romance.

They spent 3x the films budget in advertising. But it's universal they have been doing good. If it were WB they would be in even worse shape

$60 million and if they didn't see ads then they
1. Haven't been to a theater in the last 3 months.
2. Don't watch TV
3. Don't watch NFL
4 don't have Hulu or YouTube.

so the gays need an Aptow style romance comedy for them, so the audience can see actors/actresses/they- thems that look like sound like them


then they're upset when straights arent represented in a movie and dont participate because there are no on-screen representations of them


the logic hurts my brain

While watching the coming attractions for this movie it was pretty disturbing to listen to and watch the older guy fawn over the younger guy while watching him from afar.

It had a strange kind of " Al Pacino Cruising" type of feel to it.

Really demented and perverted.
