I wanted to do a profile of Jeremy Renner, the one-time roommate of Kristoffer Winter, who may or may not have dated my friend Infinite Chazz in West Hollywood. But there are problems: no nude photos except for a j/o video, very little beefcake, and he's extremely homophobic.
Addressing the rumors that he's bisexual because he was living with a man and a woman, he cursed "they're not f*** true!" Same thing when he dumped both to move in with Kristoffer Winters, who may or may not have dated my friend Infinite Chazz in West Hollywood: "Believe whatever you f*king want!"
By the way, his favorite movie is the deeply homophobic Braveheart, which he's seen 35 times.
So I'll review Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters instead. It is inspired by, Remember Hansel and Gretel, the Grimm fairy tale about a father who tries to kill his children by abandoning them in the woods, whereupon they stumble upon a candy house, and a witch who wants to eat them, but they turn the tables and burn her alive?
A very pleasant bedtime story for toddlers.
In Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013), the siblings grow up into a pair of wisecracking, martial-arts-using witch slayers (Jeremy Renner, Gemma Arterton), who travel all over 17th century Germany with their arsenal of gigantic phallic-symbol guns.
On the way, Hansel gets a girlfriend, but he also gets a nice gay subtext with the fanboy Ben (Thomas Mann), touching him repeatedly on the chest, riding with Ben's arms around his waist, and finally inviting him to join the witch-hunting team.
There are frontal and rear photos of Thomas Mann on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends.
Meanwhile, Gretel expresses no heterosexual interest, although she does get an unexpected ally in a gigantic troll (Derek Mears), who also joins the team. In the last scene, they're fighting a "sand witch" in the vast desert of 17th century Germany.
This is a very bloody movie; a scene involving the mass-execution of dozens of witches is particularly disturbing. And I didn't like the anachronistic dialogue ("Awesome!") and technology: they have machine guns, phonograph records, tasers, and hyperdermic syringes. But the people are attractive (at least, all of the good people are attractive), and there's plenty of gay subtexts.
