So I'm looking up christian bale on IMDB because I wanted to see when something he was in was made, when I notice that he was in something called
Velvet Goldmine. Since it shares the title of a Bowie song I decide to look at it. And this is the first user review I see:
"Slash Fanfiction is when a person writes a story involving two (usually)males characters from a television show or movie in a homoerotic romanticrelationship.And this is what Velvet Goldmine is. A visually stunning, incredibly tastypiece of slash fanfiction. But instead of Kirk & Spock or Mulder & Krycek,it's someone who's a lot like David Bowie and someone who's a lot like IggyPop.Perhaps that appeals to you. Perhaps it doesn't. But despite itsfanfiction feeling, this movie is absolutely visually stunning. The imagerywill last with you long after you leave the movie, your eyes blinking as youadjust to a rather grey drab world. The movie isn't about substance, it'sabout style; about creating and rearranging yourself to fit the time, to fitthe world around you. It's about fluidity, fluidity of gender, personality,ideas, and romance.Because, like all Slash fanfiction, above everything else, it's a lovestory."
Thats fucking hilarious
