I think this is less and less of a cliché these days because I know plenty of gay men who are into film but have no interest in old movies. What this line is saying, I believe, is that Marshall is still trying to reconcile his identity as a gay man. He wants to believe he's special, or that he's at least different from other gays. From his experiences, he <i>is</i> different, but does this really set him apart from other gays?Dame Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684030137746709310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435448003077731913.post-20418482569917958832010-06-02T00:12:51.706-04:002010-06-02T00:12:51.706-04:00You know, going with clichés and all, I've had...You know, going with clichés and all, I've had some trouble with this line in particular.<br />When I saw the ep I felt for Marshall but isn't it one of the generalizations made about gay men, that they should like old movies?<br />I mean, other than the people who actually grew up with them, only dudes into dudes are supposed to watch TCM (in fact when I came out several people told me my love of old Hollywood had in fact tipped them off).<br />I know this isn't a scientific fact lol but felt it was a slightly flawed moment. Marshall's younger than us he should know better.Notas Sobre Creación Cultural e Imaginarios Socialeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423835555933819338noreply@blogger.com
