TV/Movies Megathread

After years of rumours, Colton Haynes (Arsenal from "Arrow") finally came out.

Arsenal? Not familiar with that one.

He is one of the main recurring characters - the mechanic kid dating Oliver's sister.

[Eddie Teach]

I thought his nickname was Red Archer.

Incidentally, I think heteros should now accept that if there are persistent rumours about a male celebrity being gay, there is a 99.99% chance he is gay and it's not our "wishful thinking".

An actor playing a side character in some show I have never heard of? Kind of stretches the definition of celebrity

I will keep that in mind though. Also what does 'persistent' mean in this case?

Oh, yeah, that is always on my mind when watching a tv show.  "Is he gay?  Is he bi? Is that a transgender?".  Always.

Also what does 'persistent' mean in this case?

an increase in gay chatter.

The thing that always crosses my mind when I see this guy is that his head might look normal if he was a foot taller.

Well it got me thinking of that trend in sports journalism, I think in the 90s, where an athlete would be randomly designated as being gay eventually creating enough momentum for him to actually insist he was straight at some point. As far as I know none of the rumors ever turned out to be true but there might have been insufficient rumors.

I saw a trailer for a movie called Bad Moms. Apparently, Mila Kunis is getting mom roles now. /old

[Valmy]

Well she is in her 30s, totally normal age to be a mom.

[Eddie Teach]

She's younger than me.

YMMV but I thought these rumours have actually always proven true.

Unless Troy Aikman and Mike Piazza have gone to hilarious lengths to hide it I think you are wrong about that. And I think Aaron Rodgers had to do that more recently and he isn't.

Also: Christian Laettner

[The Larch]

Well she is in her 30s, totally normal age to be a mom.

And she's actually a mom, she had a daughter in 2014 with Ashton Kutcher.

[Eddie Teach]

In the movie she has a teenager or pretty close.

[CountDeMoney]

I think Aaron Rodgers had to do that more recently and he isn't.

And how.
