Gay Stoner Utopia Ahoy


I told you about Macbeth and True Story of the Kelly Gang director Justin Kurzel's upcoming movie Burning Rainbow Farm way back in January when it was announced that the movie -- about a gay couple of pot farmers in Michigan who got into a big confrontation with the government in the year 2001 -- was going to star Sebastian Stan as one half of the couple. Well now the other half of said couple's been announced and it's going to be Sebastian Stan and Leo freakin' Woodall, y'all. WTF, Justin Kurzel! Sebastian Stan and Leo Woodall as homosexual stoners duking it out with The Man -- are you trying to make our brains explode? Okay maybe not our brains, but some other big throbbing organs anyway. Maybe I should go read the book this is based on? I've purposefully kept myself free of any more details of what happened since I'm unfamiliar with the true story (I did share a photo of the couple on that first post and this is some generous casting) but I imagine it doesn't have the happiest of endings. Such stories usually don't. But if we can't get a happy ending the least we can do in the meantime is watch Sebastian Stan and Leo Woodall paw at each other a bunch.

Justin Kurzels been flirting with queer themes for a while, finally he's explicitly making queer characters the lead

These are the kinds of movies we need right now. Glad Sebastian is getting back to his roots of playing gay. Leo is coming for Josh O'Connor's gay-for-pay crown: gay in White Lotus, bicurious in One Day, gay in Prime Target, and now this!

Sebastian used to date my gay cousin when he was filming Black Swan, he broke up with him when he was cast in that Marvel movie and made him sign an NDA. I can't believe he's still not out of the closet.

My cousin is Bottom by the way. He hates Marvel movies too. 🤣
