The Folks at the Weinstein Company Should be Ashamed of Themselves

Oftentimes I’ll put up a heading that makes you wonder what the article is truly about.  Not today.  Today is a day for blatant statements.

Colin Firth is the star of an upcoming film titled The Single Man.  This is Tom Ford’s — yes, designer Tom Ford — directorial debut and he’s responsible for Trailer #1.  The Weinstein Company is responsible for trailer #2 in which they basically threw visual bleach over the entire preview.  It tells a completely different story of the film; almost all references to homosexuality have been replaced by movie critic quotes.  People who only ever see the second trailer are going to be in for a big surprise when they get to the theater.

Are we still living in a day and age where we have to protect the public from two men kissing?  What the fuck is wrong with Hollywood and how did Tom Ford, a gay man, allow this to happen to his movie?
