Three things:
1. Gay people are still up in arms that Tom Ford’s A Single Man is not being marketed exclusively to them. It started last month, when Miramax released a slightly not-gay trailer and a poster showing Colin Firth and Julianne Moore (but not the far less famous person that plays Firth’s dead lover in the film.)
I don’t know, call me kooky, but I have no patience for people who complain about not being marketed to. It’s not like Miramax is actively turning gay audiences away–it’s a Tom Ford-directed film based on a Christopher Isherwood novel, for God’s sake–so I don’t see what’s wrong with playing up the Julianne Moore character to lure in some non-gay audiences.
Regardless, I mainly want to see it because Julianne Moore’s hair looks AMAZING. (Also, it would be nice to see her in something that took place in the same era as Far From Heaven but wasn’t as completely costume-y and ridiculous as Far From Heaven.)
