ARE YOU QUEER/LGBTQ?

AND/OR DO YOU LIKE COWBOYS?

Yeah… thought so…

I need your help!

I'm a college student working on a creative research project about the queer history of the west and the modern day perceptions and uses of the cowboy as a symbol by queer people. I'm consolidating this information with the tropes and imagery of the western genre, particularly film.

This form is a part of my research because I'm interested in more personal and specific feelings about these topics.

There is no requirement to answer all of the questions and any personal info (preferred names or contact info) will be kept out of the final artwork and writing I do as they are options provided in case you are open to potential follow up questions.

If you wish to keep up with updates on my project or see posts about it then please follow my social media below. You can also contact me through these if you have further questions.

If you know others who may be interested in answering this, please go ahead and share this document with them or simply reblog it. The more responses, the better. Thank you for your time and participation!

The ending confrontation of Day of Anger is always a jarring scene for me because Scott Mary (Giuliano Gemma) is set against the new bar that Talby (Lee Van Cleef) has built and it looks like a surreal set piece for an art movie.

For many reasons I love the scene, and the movie building up to it. I do think that Day of Anger is a rather interesting as a subversive take on the typical arcs of cowboys, whilst also reminding me a bit of Treasure Island.

Goodbyes from Spock in The Lost Years

McCoy's goodbye

Jim's goodbye with spock

McCoy's goodbye scene with Spock was actually really sad. Mccoy having to contain his tears is really sweet :( In the timeline, the five year mission is over, and everyone is going to new assignments or taking shore leave.

Travolta disturbs me..... Anyway follow my Letterboxd :]

Staying Alive (1983)

Directed by: Sylvester Stallone Genre: Romance, drama (horror.. im kidding but really)

CW: SA is mentioned briefly as it pertains to this movie and Saturday Night Fever.

The only thing this movie improves upon it's predecessor, is that it's a much shorter runtime.

Staying Alive attracted me because it looked bad and I was obsessed with how incongruous it feels for Sylvester Stallone to have directed it. The screenshots I was seeing of Travolta scantily clad in torn clothing while arms reach for him were too appealing for me to simply ignore them. In fact, it low-key reminded me of the poster for Barbarella which is a movie I do love the appearance of.

Of course, I couldn't simply watch the sequel to a movie I hadn't seen before, so I first watched Saturday Night Fever from 1977. Saturday Night Fever, faultless it is not, was still a pretty swell watching experience. But it definitely impacted how I was to see the sequel. And how could it not?

When the emotional through-line of the film is class struggles, racism, and especially sexism, then it's hard not to notice how a sequel carries on with those themes.

Staying Alive's solution is largely to ignore these things. Or ignore them in part. There is still some pointing and gesturing at the class disparity between Tony (Travolta) and those around him, especially Laura (Finola Hughes). Sexism is also very much alive and well but, unlike SNF, there isn't really a point to these themes and conflicts being there or a lesson we are meant to learn.

SNF managed to make the character of Tony still a tad likeable despite it all. In Staying Alive I feel none of this goodwill. SNF ended with a promise of change and self awareness. Staying Alive begins with a Tony as problematic as he started. There is something macabre about it to be honest. Between those six years of lost time, Tony spurned Stephanie for good and has now been meandering around Manhattan terrorizing women, jaunting about like a gangly, unsteady gazelle. At times he is borderline terrifying, and you'd expect his character to feel right at home as the dangerous stalker in some horror flick.

Somehow he still has a girlfriend named Jackie (Cynthia Rhodes), whom he decides to cheat on very immediately into this movie. And despite all logic, she still gives him a chance, not only to be her friend but picks up dating him again. And even in the end he cant help himself. He has to kiss Laura without her consent for what? To prove he can? Both women end the movie interested in him, though he decides to commit to Jackie.

On to Laura, she is a pseudo antagonist. She's meant to be annoying and bitchy, but can you really fault her? She has to deal with Tony this whole movie and that is so much to ask of anyone. Her character is so inappropriately handled. Tony expects much from her and ignores all her very DIRECT declarations that she is not at all interested in him in a long term sense at this point. He makes it her fault, and in turn, the movie never sees him serve time for his poor behavior towards her. At times she or someone else will call him out on it, but you never see his character learn from this behavior. After he forces a kiss on Laura, she apologizes to him and he doesn't even bother to say it back himself, which is the LEAST of what he should be doing.

Tony IS the bad guy. He's annoying and rude to her, grabs her and touches her without permission, and is just all around unapologetic for any of it. It feels like he only really stops bothering with her because Jackie's still throwing herself at him, and it gives him a sense of power to see Laura wanting him.

AND THAT'S NOT TO MENTION THE DANCING. SNF almost manages to endear itself to me PURELY for the dancing. Travolta's little disco floor scene (you know the one) is the best part of the movie. In this movie, the dancing is all so meeehhhhh. We spend all this time building up the final Broadway show, and the resulting product was so underwhelming.

If this movie had been about male entitlement and ego, it would have been so perfect, but it's not about that even though it so perfectly depicted it. Feeling like a 2/10 on this one.
