Frodo and Samwise in the LOTR Trilogy
These two furry-footed “friends” don sweater capes and go on a camping trip, sharing approx-imately 9.3 hours of screen time exchanging doe-eyed looks. And if the fact that the climax of one of the most successful franchises in movie history ($3 billion at the box office, 17 Oscars) is Sean Astin carrying Elijah Wood like newlyweds crossing the threshhold wasn’t enough to set off our gaydar, dialogue like this would: “Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? Do you remember the taste of straw-berries?” Awww.
