Great Moments in Movie Shelves #139

.
Bill Murray making faces is always great, 
no matter the context. (Shelves though.)

Anyway today is the 20th anniversary of John McNaughton's trash-classic Wild Things - I wasn't sure if I was going to get around to marking it but our pal Louis at BuzzFeed wrote up a delicious little ode to the film's queerness and I wanted to reply to him with a gif and then... I couldn't stop making gifs. And here we are. For the record this was the original gif I was set to make:

God this movie is wonderful.

My one issue with it - and I know this isn't a problem everyone shares - is I find the sight of Kevin Bacon whatever the opposite of sexy is. I don't mind him as an actor, but as sex object... nothing, not a twitch. And so the movie's barely skirted homoerotic tendencies have always fallen a little flat for me - no matter how much he flings his big dick around I just can't think of Kevin Bacon that way!

Matt Dillon, on the other hand...

Until Louis mentioned it I had forgotten how gleefully the movie ogles Dillon alongside Neve & Denise. And then I started going through the movie and like I said...

... here we are. I have a bunch of gifs but not really anything to say! Do you guys have anything to say? Well I guess go read Louis' piece and then come ogle my gifs (100% Bacon-free btw). They're right after the jump...

    You call that ogling? Almost always from the chest up, almost always obscured somehow, always wearing pants, etc. Please, I expect more from you. ;)
