HIstory Boys

Witness the British History Boys trailer and take note of a front- and-center hetereosexual coupling scene. (Which was in the play -- it just feels a bit more pronunced here.) And no intimations of ball-fondling, although there's a nicely rendered gay version of "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered." (Which is also in the play.) Loads of sunshine-lit photography. I for one am looking forward to not only hearing but digesting every line of dialogue, which you can never quite do from the 22nd row of the orchestra, even when you cup your ears.

You know that episode of "South Park" where they keep saying "shit" and the counter at the bottom of the screen lets you know how many times they say it because they're just so darned proud at their audacity for saying "shit"?

You should do the same thing with "ball fondling" for the rest of the fall, Jeff. I have a feelin' you're gonna be saying that a lot more.

Oh and I have to say that the trailer seems amply homoerotic (or homosocial at the very least) to me...
