Brian Dannelly [on Carson Phillips’ sexuality] (via heathermione)
Oh my lord, I can’t WAIT to sink my media studies teeth into this film. I noticed EXACTLY this in the trailer and I am so fucking thrilled because this is exactly what I was hoping Chris Colfer would do. I think that this guy is so much more than the angelic gender-bending snivelly clotheshorse that Kurt has become. I think the real Chris Colfer is probably just a witty, charming asshole with a lot of ambition, and that he UNDERSTANDS the role of sexuality in his career (and society at large). He seems to be actively rejecting his neat little GAY GAY GAY box, aka the prison of Glee. He’s evoking a sexless anti-hero here - the BEST kind of young hero, a la James Dean, Artemis Fowl, Holden Caulfield, all the pretty/handsome boys who shined too beautiful for this world and just didn’t fit into the scheme of things.
And I’m sure he’s nice and everything, but I don’t know…I adore him because he obviously kind of hates humanity, or at least everyone who’s not as smart as him. That comes across in this trailer, and even though it might be a clumsy first attempt at acerbic high school dramedy, it still offers something very exciting that we don’t get to see every day: an ORIGINAL VOICE.
YOU SLAY ME CC! FAN 4EVR, BABY.
