audience or a gay male audience?
Fascinating scenario about the S&M Jesus. That one is going to keep me occupied for a couple hours.

I don't necessarily think Tom Cruise is gay and I definitely don't care but that kind of film (Gun / Thunder & ESPECIALLY stallone films) have something of a blatant homoerotic quality to them... Not that there's anything wrong with that - I personally just find it all a bit tedious.
 
I'm pretty sure it was designed to attract a female audience but you never know...were you excited by those movies?
 
I guess if Tom Cruise turns their wheels. Personally, I'm not a Tom Cruise fan.

Viggo Mortensen, Hugh Jackman, Sean Connery... those guys turn my wheels.
 
That's a good question. At one point there were rumors that Cruise was gay. But the "beautiful" model-like drivers in Days of Thunder certainly can be interpreted either way.
In Mel Gibson's "The Passion Of The Christ", several critics commented that the grotesque, sadistic beating scenes were done explicitly for gay men.

What do you think?
 
I've never seen "Days of Thunder", but in "Top Gun", he had a female love interest. Hollywood is liberal enough that if the movies were targeting a gay audience, they most likely would have would have had gay characters.
