McQ this is actually a crazy thing to come up with and write down

Here's more of that section of the interview.

Let’s talk about this film’s relationship to these other crime films. While fitting very comfortably into the genre, it also tends to amplify some of its standard elements. For instance, the whole male-bonding thing is really pushed to the limits here, resulting in some very homoerotic moments— It’s very homoerotic in the script. Was this something you were deliberately trying to push the envelope on? I have a lot of gay friends and so there’s a lot of gay humor floating around; there’s always just a lot of that sort of imagery going on in our conversations. A lot of it was subconscious. One of the few things from the script that didn’t make it into the film was part of the scene that takes place after they’ve hit New York’s Finest Taxi Service. As it’s written, they’re all drinking beers. McManus says, “My boy with the plan!” to Verbal, and they all start pouring their beers on him. The white foam from the beer is pouring all over Verbal—they’re just foaming all over him—as he’s being accepted by these men. Anyway, a lot of this stuff became apparent afterwards. Hockney, for instance, is one of the more homoerotic characters in the story. When we were redubbing Verbal’s voiceover introducing his character—“Todd Hockney, without a doubt the one guy who didn’t give a fuck about anybody”—we thought about having Kevin Spacey say instead, “Todd Hockney, without a doubt a closet homosexual’,” because, when you watch the film through that prism, he’s such a flamer. Everything is just “cocksucker, cocksucker.” The thing about “I’ll fuck your father in the shower.” “I live in Queens.” It just went on and on and on.

(also just noticed that he made sure to interject and specify that the homoeroticism was in the script, and therefore attributing it to himself. In a lot of his other answers in this interview before this one he does say several times that as a writer he has to give up the story to the director, so there are things in it that he didn't come up with. He's just making sure everyone knows he wrote it as homoerotic.)

#!!!!!#never seen this before and holy shit #i was JUST now thinking about how often his scripts have this kind of deliberate homoeroticism #and how clear it is that his mind immediately goes there #e.g. his rapid fire response in the TFR commentary when tom says he first met ving rhames in a mens bathroom #or writing 'next time i get to seduce the rich guy' and assuming the studio would cut it #interesting stuff #mcq

TFR's first scene with Angela Bassett is the one of the first they shot, all the way back during Dead Reckoning, and therefore is the closest we get to seeing what Tom's hair looked like when McQ saw him at breakfast that one morning

#and it is easily the best he looks in that whole movie... mcq knows his shit

I don't know how to share the special features (and I think they're still incomplete even on Fandango, no specific commentary for just the biplane sequence yet), but I can tell you that during the full movie commentary with Tom and McQ, Tom reveals that he had to sit in Esai's lap for takeoff and landing while filming some of the biplane stuff. That was a highlight for me.

#taking his own photos at these photographed-to-hell events so that they have their own personal mementos of them... warms me heart

Damn it’s crazy that they would be into that

#been thinking about this post for weeks

i think tom cruise DOES Know A Guy who could take out elon but I think he knows them from his decades of stunt work and not through scientology

#when mcq was talking about 'a filmmaker' who 'met with guys in tech' and said 'none of them have empathy'#can't say i didn't think of 🌌✖️#wasn't there some implication that he ghosted elon?

"And I just thought: they have the best relationship in the world. When they go home at night, they probably sit there and have dinner, and do what I got to experience for two hours on set. But they get to do it all the time."

#just remembered this #wild that even the people working directly with them are like #'not sure what's going on there. but good for them!'#mission impossible #mcq #tc

agentfaust

this should not be a surprise to anyone btw he’s in “creative talks” with mcq about literally everything

#“creative talks”#i.e. sitting at the breakfast table mocking the studio execs they had been fighting with on the phone over the pandemic #by repurposing them as les grossman bits

"I foolishly showed Tom Cruise a TikTok video... of a guy, doing a stunt, involving that. And Tom said, "That's awesome! 😀😀😀 I could do that 😁", and I said, "No. You. will. NOT."

#mission impossible #mi8 #the final reckoning #christopher mcquarrie #tom cruise #he's talking about the parachute free fall obviously
