Any Activity Where Balls Fly At Your Nose


For a brief moment I thought that maybe I should lead this post introducing the trailer for Luca Guadagnino's tennis-threesome movie Challengers with one of the shots of Zendaya flanked by her co-stars Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist, all of them kissing on the edge of her bed, since that shot is the truest representation of what this movie will be. But... I mean...

... come on. I didn't actually have any choice here. Self-determination is a ruse! We are all in thrall to the universe, especially when "the universe" is represented by Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist next to naked in a sauna together. And Josh... he's really showing that towel who means business, isn't he? God I love him. Wait what are we talking about?

Okay okay Zendaya, you get that one. You can check all of our previous posts on this film Challengers right here -- naturally we've been posting since Day One... hell, Day Minus Fifty more like. Just watching this trailer we understand what Luca meant when he said there would be queerness in here. Just how queer I suppose we'll have to see but this shot...

... is obviously giving me some extra ideas. Okay so the bsics, in case you need them: Challengers is about three tennis pros who fuck. The end. It stars those three, it is directed by Luca Guadagnino, and it is out on September 15th. And here is the trailer:



What do we think? Tell me in the comments, and I made a gif of
every single shot of Josh & Mike, so hit the jump for those...

RE Josh O'Connor--Until the top of his head caves in OR his toes pop off. Whichever happens first.

This trailer is a gay man's wet dream. Multiple shirtless shots of The gorgeous male co-stars, a glammed up Zendaya, and Rihanna. Plus that shot of Joahie and the banana...

As a huge tennis fan and a fan of all three actors -- I am PUMPED. Also I just saw Faist in the production of Brokeback Mountain in London and he is just so (gorgeous and) PHENOMENAL. Can't wait to see more of him.
