Gay TV – The history of Homosexuality from “This is Going to Sound a Bit Gay” Hosted by Graeme Smith on Current TV – Starts Thursday July 2nd 2009 at 10pm on Sky 183 and Virgin 155 in the UK.
A look at modern gay and lesbian identity and exploring what it’s like being gay in 2009. From the experience of coming out, to how the gay community as we know it came to be, all the way through to whether or not there is a shared sense of gay identity. Along the way Graeme Smith will be taking the audience on a journey through the issues based on his own experiences and life.
Those of us who have trouble stomaching Karla Sofen as Ms. Marvel don’t have long to wait… Carol Danvers will be back soon enough. Last issue introduced a mysterious female energy being (TOLD YA) that is now seeking communication with Carol’s former teammates.
In MS MARVEL #41, not only does new Ms. Marvel Karla Sofen have to deal with Deadpool, now she’s got the New Avengers coming at her in full force. Prelude to this summer’s epic WAR OF THE MARVELS!
Isn’t it odd that no one is any other Avengers titles has noticed Carol’s absence yet? I’m not sure on continuity of her “death” and what’s been going on in New Avengers. Just have to assume it happens BEFORE events in her own title.
Then in MS. MARVEL #42, WAR OF THE MARVELS begins! Karla Sofen battles for her life in the streets of Los Angeles as an exciting new chapter in the history of Ms. Marvel begins! Guest starring the New Avengers and…someone we can’t tell you about!
Do you think there is another surprise appearance BESIDES Carol? If so, who could it be? If not, why can’t they tell us? – she’s on the cover!
GayComicGeek was so livid about Rob Liefeld’s recent comments, that he resurrected the AngryComicBookNerd and really says it best with this posts title.
And thanks for another Shout-out! Love your reviews! In case you folks hadn’t heard, apparently Rob Liefeld has locked down the threads on this topic at his own forum. I guess he was not getting the usual verbal handjob he has come to expect from his adoring fans. Anyone who runs a forum that way is just interested in hearing his own opinion echoed back.
I’ll keep covering the developing relationship between Rictor and Shatterstar (#46 is out NEXT WEEK!!!), but I’ve given homophobic hack Rob Liefeld too much press already. So feel free to pester him if you like, but barring further developments, I’m going to move on. There is just no sense arguing with a waste of human flesh.
I know these “events” disrupt the regularly planned storylines and mess with rosters, but in this case I don’t think I’ll mind so much. It will be interesting to see the X-Men as renegades again. Plus I’ve always loved Cloak and Dagger so anything that brings them closer to the X-universe is OK with me.
UTOPIA TIE-IN Who are the Dark X-Men and how did they come to be? FIND OUT HERE! Each issue has 3 11-page stories, each dedicated to one of the Dark X-Men and how they came to be part of the team. The first two issues focus on Emma Frost, Mimic, Cloak & Dagger, Daken, Weapon Omega and Dark Beast!
Plus, check out Namor without his trunks. Damn inconvenient steam clouds!
I figured that Joe Phillips‘ sexxxy 3D superhero epic Stonewall and Riot was just the tip of the iceberg and heralded the birth of a new genre and sure enough… now we have Pirate’s Booty (from Adult Source Media)- a gay CGI sex romp set on the high seas… I’m betting the next one will go sci-fi and involve horny gay space aliens and hot astronauts.
Come sail away with Captain Jack Swallows (voiced by Fabioesque straight porn actor Evan Stone) and his crew as they set sail on the rough seas and encounter even rougher hardcore sex along the way! Throw in a spirit who possesses each crew member and releases the inner ‘plunderer’ in them and you’ve got the makings for a raunchy good time.
I think EVENTUALLY we’ll get to a point where CG3D sex will be hot, sexy and natural looking, but I just don’t think we are there yet. The 3D porno productions I’ve seen thus far seem to be significantly behind their commercial counterparts in the areas of motion capture and texture realism. Which isn’t surprising because those things cost MONEY to do well and I doubt anyone would throw that kind of cash at an animated gay porn flick.
So until motion capture get to a more affordable price – I’ll probably stick with porn that has a real human cast. These are interesting as a novelty but don’t really work for me on another level… That doesn’t mean there aren’t some guys out there experiencing the birth of a new fetish. I’d like to hear from them. What do you think?
Billy Brandt was born Jerry Jack Wardrop on April 9, 1979, in Flint, Michigan. Now I really can’t be sure if this on-again-off-again-on-again pornstar is active in the industry at the moment. But since most of what I’ve seen from him in recent years has been forgettable, I put him out to pasture (among excellent company) in this category when i listed nominees for my very first Legendary Studs of Yore poll. He is next on the list I created from the final tally of votes (followed closely by Jake Andrews and Tom Chase who should also show up soon).
Billy’s semi-recent scene bottoming in the Falcon’s well-hyped role-swapping fuckfest Top to Bottom was good, but in my opinion, the muscled beefy tattooed bad boy he’s become just isn’t as hot as the ridiculously well-defined boy-next-door on-the-make he was in his first role starring in the 2000 Falcon Studios epic Absolute Arid (his scenes from that epic and No Way Out more than nominate him for Legendary status and his role in Phil St John’s Getting it at the Rave cinched it). He entered the porn industry after a patron at Starz in South Bend, IN (where he was stripping) suggested he send photos to Falcon Studios, which led to the role in Absolute Arid and which made him an instant fan favorite.
I’d love to see him prove me wrong with a new scene that shows him stepping up to REALLY own this badass image he seems to be aiming for, but I think he tried that in Top to Bottom, and it was hot, just not as hot as his early Falcon work. I also was never really all that impressed with what I saw of his Pacific Sun work. I saw Billy Brandt Lost on Sex Island and Angel Blue but I stopped hopefully picking up his movies after that. Let me know if I missed something. The From Top to Bottom Scene is all I’ve enjoyed from him since Getting It at The Rave.
Anyone who has seen his stellar scene with Dylan Reece in Absolute Arid knows can tell how much Billy Brandt likes to have his ass eaten. It is really something to see his angelic face (at least it was when he started out) moaning in ecstasy. He consistently has the same earnest response to a good rimming, and it’s hard to tell who enjoys it more – him, or you.
Here is Billy being interviewed by former Porn actor Brad Benton…
Considered "gay for pay," (he is a father of 3), Barndt appeared in a2003 episode of Sex TV which included a segment on that topic. He had previously appeared on television on the final episode of Ricki Lake, other porn stars on the show were Michael Lucas and Chad Hunt (who were unimpressed with Billy).
Like most others labelled gay-for-pay, Billy usually prefers the top role. Exceptions are his scene bottoming in From Top to Bottom, an Aim to Please DVD bonus scene being Topped by Jeremy Jordan and his supposed "final" bottoming performance – bending over for Brad Star at CockyBoys.
Billy Brandt’s filmography is sparser than most other Pornstars with such a dedicated following. He really could have been one of the biggest names in porn had his career unfolded differently. Sporadic absences from the adult industry due to a serious injuries from a 2004 car accident as well as from a bout with drug abuse severely stunted what could have been an unparalleled meteoric rise to stardom.
