The 9 Greatest Penis Moments in Movies
Michael Fassbender, however, has no qualms about showing what God gave him. In Steve McQueen's new drama "Shame," Fassbender plays a sex addict who's in the buff so often his body is naked nearly as often as its clothed. In honor of Fassbender's courage to reveal everything, we're celebrating the movies -- and actors -- who've dared to go full frontal.
Let's all be adults; this is not a puerile discussion of the male member. We're merely noting that throughout history, while paintings and sculptures have depicted the nude male body with regularity, film has a limited number of offerings (not counting the XXX variety, of course), whereas leading ladies (even Oscar-winning ones) drop cover again and again.

Opinion | "The Mitchells vs. the Machines" just quietly gave us a kids' movie with a queer lead
The new animated feature from Netflix treats its protagonist's identity matter-of-factly but with care — which is exactly how it ought to be.
“Are you and Jade official?" mom Linda Mitchell (voiced by Maya Rudolph) says to her daughter, Katie (Abbi Jacobson). "And will you bring her home for Thanksgiving?”
When kids can’t see people like themselves in books or on the screen, it is easy for them to feel invisible.
Accurate representation helps people feel less alone, especially people from marginalized communities.
How Peter von Kant Reinvents a Classic
Steven Ryder explores François Ozon’s reverence for the prolific New German Cinema director Rainer Werner Fassbinder by delving into his latest film Peter von Kant
Now, 22 years later, with his new film Peter von Kant, Ozon has not only returned to the wellspring of Fassbinder adaptations, but to perhaps his masterpiece; the claustrophobic yet scrupulous chamber drama The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant (1972). However, whereas Fassbinder’s film was laced with the powerplays between a group of women caught in each other’s toxic orbit, Ozon seems determined to bend Fassbinder’s 1970’s-set narrative in a different direction, not least through the gender-swapping of the titular character and his new romantic obsession.
The Internet Is Rediscovering This Amazing Gay Role Pedro Pascal Played in the '90s
“The point is, we’re gay.”
The clips of Pascal are absolutely everything we could have ever wanted. In them, Pascal’s character Greg gives us a dozen perfectly quotable quips, including: “Maybe he’s still adjusting to being out, not everyone can be ‘Mr. Gay Pride,’” “Please, either you’re gay or you're not, period,” “I’ll make cookies,” “Gay, with a weird fetish,” “And find a better place to hide your porn, buddy.” And perhaps best of all: “The point is, we’re gay.”

JOHN WATERS’S BEST FILMS OF 2022
The twenty-city “John Waters Christmas Show” tour began November 29 in San Francisco.1PETER VON KANT (François Ozon)By far the best movie of the year. Fassbinder’s classic lesbian melodrama is appropriated and remade as a gay Frenchman’s love letter to the original version. Hilariously stilted, often overwrought, but always highly entertaining, this cock-eyed tribute will make you swoon when Hanna Schygulla finally makes an appearance and Isabelle Adjani soon follows. My God, it’s just plain Douglas Sirk perfect.2 EO (Jerzy Skolimowski)Another tribute film, this time Bresson’s Au Hasard Balthazar
