"The Fluffer" (2001) - The first Gay Film I ever saw, at age 15, is an unappreciated GEM of a Film (full film in link)

I dislike the plot. That didn’t stop me from staying up until 2 AM to see the one half second cock shot, however!

Questions: Where is the gif? Was it a stand in actor or a fake?

Hmmm...

It's weird to me that since this film was released, its director Wash West has gone on to use his full name of Wash Westmoreland and has been the director of successful independent films like "Still Alice," and "Colette."

And its gorgeous star, the model Scott Gurney, went on to be the head of Gurney Productions, which created shows like "Duck Dynasty."

From the photo at r2, it looks like a prosthesis.

Its not a prosthetic, it was a stand in. That was not Scott Gurney.

Scott was willing to do full frontal but directors Richard Glatzer and Wash West (there were two directors R3) felt they should just get someone else to do it, because Johnny Rebel has an enormous cock, so they would have to use a prosthetic as Scott, while most likely not small, is not huge.

Scott Gurney is a Christian Republican Homophobe now that doesnt even like this movie coming up. R3, but I love him still.

I secretly rented this (from a video store!) as a young gayling living with my family because Entertainment Weekly reviewed it.

This was the photo of him I had close to my heart and that inspired me to work out.

R6 I read the review of it AFTER seeing it.

I am not joking when I tell you that I was finding any info I could on Scott Gurney and this movie online.

My understanding is that the idea of a fluffer specially hired for a film apart from the usual actors is a myth.

On gay porn shoots, my understanding was that most usually the actors fluff each other, and if they have a straight performer they have him watch straight porn to get wood.

I tried finding this issue of this gay magazine with him on the Cover but never could

Scott now smh

Hey, R11, I once made the cover of Men's Fitness, TOO, but I don't see you slobbering all over MY knob!

The Aspie Thread Copycat is hard at work again!

Please F/F this redundant pollution. Datalounge already has plenty of Fluffer threads and bitch could have searched/ knew that.

But she’s too busy stealing others’ ideas for social currency. You’re not interesting, unique or special. Why did you need a new thread? Really? Why?!

Mr Schock, that is wonderful, but did you make the cover TWICE?

This was his Exercise Magazine cover in 1996

Who the fuck is the creep at r14 trying to play self-appointed SS officer?

Who the fuck is the creep at r14 trying to play self-appointed SS officer?

r18 he does this shit all the time.

Go to the "Cultural Impact of The Exorcist" thread and hes all over it throwing tantrums.

This is the opening credits to a short lived TV series Scott was on in 1997, called "Push". It was a drama about young athletes, also starring DL Fav Jason Behr and Jaime Pressly

[quote]Scott now smh

If only that were the only problem.

Isn't he the producer of Duck Dynasty - those racist, sexist, anti-gay pretend-to-make-a-buck rednecks?

Maybe I’m sick of people discussing the same, tired shit all the time. Maybe I’m sick of biters “on the spectrum” stealing my ideas for threads.

OOPS! I MENTIONED BITERS!

Better go start a new thread on biters! They deserve their own thread!!!

r20 Scott himself is a Christian Republican that is homophobic and regrets making this movie

R21 Perhaps they're coincidental, or he is now just deliberately doing this for payback now that you continue to berate him. Has it ever occurred to you that others may not share in the belief that these are "your ideas"? There are multiple threads on many topics or subjects, often slighty different in their bent. So bloody what? Who appointed you as editor or consolidator of threads? It's nice to know you're following him so carefully all over the forum (NOT= Creepy). You are still linking to other similar threads, which I notice in other duplicates, and that's great too, but you need to relax your definition of the ownership of ideas here.

Thank you, R23. I was gonna write that I think you're wasting your time, but I enjoyed your careful and thoughtful articulation, so reading your passage wasn't a waste of mine. :)

Moving on, wasn't Gurney the same guy who was briefly featured in the opening credits of Sex and the City?

OP - do you know? I can't find anything on google.

R24 I don’t know. I have heard it was him Long ago in his modeling days

R12 I'd still do him

He was perfect while younger. Gorgeous everything.

Now... no.

The gleeful nuttiness of r14/r21 makes me think it's Matt Anscher off his meds yet again.

R28 just ignore the nut. He follows me Thread to thread harassing and anything I post he throws a tantrum about.

Thank you for this! I hadn’t seen it since it came out and I rewatched it.

This is the one that ends with the homage to the ending of The 400 Blows, right? I lump this one in with "Circuit." Two depressing films.

R30 did you really rewatch? Cool

R31 huh?

R31, watch the end of "The 400 Blows." It's the same ending shots.

If they made a sequel, where would each of the three main characters (Mikey/Johnny Rebel, Sean and Julie) be in 2019?

I always assumed Mikey would be dead by now unless he cleaned up his act and remade his life in Mexico with a woman that takes him in.

I love Scott Gurney in this. Very handsome and natural.

But Michael Cunio as Sean was very cute and someone I would go for more if I wanted to date. Scott Gurney is better for a one night stand

Fun fact, married Scott Gurney and co-star Roxanne Day almost fucked more than once. They would get drunk together all the time.

Richard Glatzer told me that himself.

Also said Michael Cunio is one of the kindest, sweetest people, which made him hotter than Scott to him and Wash West.

"Circuit" was hotter for me, because the two leads had such incredible bodies. They were both pretty cliched as far as narratives go--though it is still jawdropping to me that Dirk Schafer's friends persuaded him that he HAD to show a happy ending for some of the circuit party-attending characters as well as a sad one for the others, since (they argued) many people go to circuit parties regularly and have a great time do not have problems with drugs. of course, Schafer died in real life from a drug overdose while parked in his car....

A flawed but very interesting film.

Why does no one acknowledge that Adina Porter and Debby Harry are in this?

And a cameo from porn legends Chi Chi LaRue and Ron Jeremy

I liked Mike Cunio the best. It was that coming of age story of being in love with a dumb as brick soulless jerk. Funny and sad. The porn industry was portrayed as just wacky! Doubt that.

The porn industry can be wacky mixed with a lot of bad.

Sean was in life with “Johnny Rebel” and his image. By the end he saw him for what he really was, and that’s shown when he finally calls him “Mikey” in Mexico vs Johnny.

Also, every time he looked in a mirror he saw Johnny Rebels image, even while making out with that guy he picked up. In the end, he looked in the mirror and finally saw himself again.

He was completely in love with the image of Johnny Rebel.

Johnny Rebel should have been a real porn star.

Scott’s ass was so tight

r23 = r24.

The Aspie Redundant Thread Copycat is known to delete his cookies and use multiple accounts to talk to itself and spam phony words of support for his own, very nerdy intellectual property theft and noisemaking. He counterfeits popularity just like he plagiarizes threads.

As I have already explained, the "So bloody what" is that the Copycat Thread Thief is stealing other people's thunder. Person A will start a thread about a pop artist, or merely mention one in a relevant discussion that others find interesting, then Thread Thief will immediately steal -- YES, STEAL -- that idea and start a whole, new thread about it trying to capitalize socially and impress others with somebody else's observation. Copycat Thief doesn't love or know artwork — he loves namedropping what others do to get attention and seem expert. It's very Single White Female.

Just because nobody has a copyright on subjects doesn't mean 73 EXORCIST THREADS IS TOO MANY EXORCIST THREADS and there's a social parasite at large.

And I don't presume to be an editor, r23. How warped and revealing when somebody equates giving credit where credit is due to being an "S.S. Officer."

The Aspie Thread Copycat appoints me the policeman every time he rips off my ideas. And I will continue to expose his cheapness and phoniness, with proof of the locations on Datalounge where HE JUST REPEATED WHAT ALREADY HAS A DISCUSSION until he knocks it off, fucks off or limits his involvement to the original discussion like he's supposed to.

Pollution and plagiarism are bloody, buggery, bleedin' big deals!

R44 that’s actually very false. My cookies are in tact.

Stalker ass.

All new "Single White Female" thread in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

R46 you’re twisted. Go away. You’re always all over every thread I’m on, even if I don’t create it.

You’re like a stalker. Why not just block me? Oh you won’t, because you’re obsessed.

Can you post any dicks from the film in a new OP?

Huh?

Watching it now

Love this movie

The ending reminds me a bit of Midnight Cowboy. Not the plot so much as the tone of the movie.

I love this movie for some reason lol. Not “good” but I adore it. I’m always entertained by the “coming of age” story.

Wow, and Colette was infinitely better than that crapfest The Wife with the same plot.

And Colette was real and had lesbians.

He did well for himself, Mr. Westmoreland did.

Have I missed the mention of DL Fave David Pevsner in all of his CLOTHED glory?

He’s not mentioned r55

And who would have thought that Tim Bagley would be an in demand working actor for over 25 years?

Who knew?

Who is Tim Bagley?

IMDB is your friend r58

Watching it again. Love

Bump. A great Saturday night watch.

Great movie. Scott Gurney is ART

Scott Gurney is absolutely beautiful. Or was.

Is it true Scott is a Repug now?

R64 yup. A Christian and hates this movie now

Well, he was exceptionally good looking. Now, not so much. His looks match his Rethuglican views.

I would have sucked Scott Gurney dry

They should have made a sequel

Is Colette any good? I started watching it but seemed rather lifeless. Does it pickup?

R69 what is that?

I think r69 is in the wrong thread.

I found most of the characters in this old film not very credible.

R69, R70 and R71 are making reference to post R3.

r72 huh?

R73 'Colette'.

Some of you are making no sense...

Like so many other gay movies Fluffer is a tragedy with a sad ending (at least none of the leads die IIRC).

I don’t think the ending is sad for Julie or Sean. I mean, in a way it is, but they both finally saw Mikey/Johnny Rebel for who he really is.

Julie was in love with Mikey, the person, but in the end she saw what a piece of shit Mikey really is and she aborted his baby and left. Sean was infatuated and in love with the image and persona that was Johnny Rebel. When he finally saw past that and saw the shitty human that was Mikey (you see this near the end in Mexico when he finally calls him “Mikey” vs “Johnny”) he finally saw his own reflection in the mirror again (literally) for the first time in months and learned a lot about himself and in general from this.

Mikey chose his own path in the end. He was a druggie, cheating manipulative piece of shit porn star that everyone idolized but in the end he was the biggest loser PoS of them all.

Sean was a small town good boy who was very sweet and soft spoken and shy that had just moved to LA to get into the film industry. He was very naive in life and infatuated with the beauty of Johnny Rebel. I felt bad for him in the end, but it was a lesson well learned in life that he needed to learn about people like Johnny Rebel.

So Sean was a dumb but pretty homosexual who got into the industry but still stayed dumb but pretty.

Sean wasn’t dumb. He was just the cameraman and Fluffer.

I felt bad for Sean. He was truly blinded and hypnotized by Johnny Rebel. I have been there. Ugh.

I thought Sean was dumb at age 25 or so and not recognising his homosexual desire.

He clearly did recognize his homosexual desire when he laid eyes on Johnny Rebel. He just was probably in denial at first of it. He was from a small town and just moved to LA. He was new to all that.

So people that do not realize or accept their homosexuality right away are "dumb"?

R83 This is a low-budget movie full of one-dimensional, non-credible characters.

Sean was impossibly pretty, impossibly naive, and somehow, impossibly, gets to be movie director in a mere 45 minutes of screen time.

I realise this film was just soap and never intended to have the honesty and profundity of a William Wyler movie. I accept that. And I do adore the OP's picture of the hunk with the fluorescent tube.

r84 did you watch the movie? None of what you said is true. Sean was never a Director. He was the cameraman for porn and Johnny Rebel's personal Fluffer.

Maybe you should watch the movie before running your mouth. You sound psycho.

R84 clearly didn’t watch the movie.

I love watching this one for some reason.

R24 = r23 from yet another troll account, talking to itself.

R88 maybe. But who cares?

Scott Gurney was sexy as fuck

Does anyone have a good link to either The Fluffer or Circuit? Link in R1 requires you to add an extension and it doesn't work properly. Tried using YouTube and only got clips instead of the full movie as promised.

R91 here is The Fluffer. It has Spanish subtitles but is the movie.

R92, Thank you so much for your link. I understand enough Spanish so the subtitles aren't a distraction.

It’s all on English. You don’t need to read the subtitles since it is spoken in English

I enjoy this movie. Idk why. But I do.

Scott Gurney and Brett Kavanaugh separated at birth.

Scott is a homophobic now

Scott is a very rich hardcore Republican
