AND, ’S WORTH REPEATG, THERE’S CLEARLY HISTORY.THAT HISTORY IS ALSO A LOT MORE TERTG THAN THE B OF ROMANTIC BACKSTORY WE DO GET THE MOVIE. LIKE OCEAN’S 11 BEFORE , WHICH REVEALED THAT DANNY OCEAN’S BIG HEIST WAS REALLY A PLOY TO PUNISH THE SO OWNER WHO WAS DATG HIS EX-WIFE, TS (JULIA ROBERTS), OCEAN’S 8 IS ALSO SOMETHG OF A REVENGE STORY. DEBBIE, TOO, HAS AN EX; HIS NAME IS CL, HE’S PLAYED BY RICHARD ARMAGE, AND HE’S THE REASON DEBBIE GOT SENT TO PRISON THE FIRST PLACE. BUT UNLIKE OCEAN’S 11, WHICH SPENT A CENT AMOUNT OF SCREEN TIME PUTTG CLOONEY AND ROBERTS’S PELLG AND PLAYFUL CHEMISTRY ON DISPLAY, OCEAN’S 8 N’T SEEM TO CI WHAT WANTS TO DO WH CL. MORE THAN ANYTHG, HE FEELS LIKE A TTOSTERONE-FILLED WASTE OF SPACE; IF HAD NIXED HIM ALTOGETHER, THE FILM WOULDN’T FEEL ANY LS PLETE.

This weekend I saw Ocean’s Gay.

OCEAN’S 8 IS THE GAYT MOVIE OF THE YEAR, LET’S MAKE OCEAN’S 9 EVEN GAYER

(Although, maybe they should nsir a name change…) This fourth stallment of the Ocean’s anchise, featured a diverse all-female st who showsed telligence, bad-assery and, if you exist for homoerotic subtext like I do, lbian love. While (tragilly) no character was openly gay, there was a near paful amount of sexual tensn between Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock) and Lou (Cate Blanchett). Could she get gayer?!
