so wait, is Jonno gay then?


he just seems like he cant deal with it...if he wasnt such an *beep* i wish jonno and cal would have been together....jonno is so hotttt..lol

reply

Yes, it seemed like Jonno did have "issues" and yes, the actor was just about the only attractive person in the whole movie.

Yes, I killed Yvette. I hated her sooo much. F - flames, on the sides of my face - heaving, breath-

reply

The hell are you talking about? Cal was totally hot. Both Jonno and Cal were hot(before the rape anyway then Jonno was just gross for me).

reply

To me, Jonno is not so much gross but pathetic. All of the gang around Jonno, Cal and the bitchy girl whose name I forget are pathetic, letting their frustrations out on random strangers. But Cal managed to find his way out, while Jonno cemented his desolation by raping Cal.
On second thought, Jonno may have found a way out in the opposite direction from Cal, in that he's now too pathetic even for his pathetic friends.

P.S.: Cal is the hottest guy.

reply

I thought Jonno was more pissed that he wasn't Cal's first.....LOL

reply

He definitely had issues considering he offers a smoking blowback (or whatever it's called) to Cal in the car (str8s do this?) and his member was as dead as the corpses in the cemetary during his sex scene with the harpie. During the rape scene he kissed Cal twice and said I love you so yeah, maybe was pissed that Cal moved on from him.

Gene(points at his arm pit:Get a waft of that,man stink. See if that doesn't moisten your gusset!

reply

Straight people do do blowbacks but generally they will have the joint in the mouth backwards and blow on it so the other person has the roach end. ( Yeah, I know a lot of people that smoke weed!)Anyway, i do think the way he did it was a flirty kind of sexual way though.

Yeah, I think Jonno had repressed gay feelings for Cal.
I agree- his rage came from feeling betrayed by Cal after
seeing the video clip and finding out about
the relationship with the french kid.

reply

Totally agree with atomicgabe and others who expressed same opinions.

reply

I agree, we call blowbacks "shotguns" on this side of the pond and is usually performed as crazyfists described. So, with the absence of the joint between them, it was practically a kiss and probably would have progressed to one if the phone hadn't interrupted them.

reply

Jonno didn't say he loved him. Jonno kissed him on he back of his neck, crying, and whispered, like a typical abuser, "what have you made me do?".

reply

Yeah he was mad because Cal was with other people before him. While Cal was on the ground crying Jonno asked him " who have you been with?" To which Cal responded "everyone but you" which prompted the rape.

reply

Sadly, yes. Men who know who they are don't obsess over other mens' sexuality. The more homophobic a man is, the faster his legs go up in the air when given the opportunity. And your average heterosexuals don't weep and kiss their victims on the neck after brutally raping them.

In 1996, a controlled study of 64 heterosexual men at the University of Georgia found that men who were found to be homophobic were considerably more likely to experience more erectile responses when exposed to homoerotic images than non-homophobic men. For those in the know, it only confirmed long accepted facts. Look at every republican politician caught with his pants down. They all have perfect anti-gay voting records. And they know just how stupid people are when they choose not to believe the obvious. They need to believe the lady doth protest too much because of his strong neo-christian beliefs- not because of his double life.

So ladies, if your man is one of those *beep* this, homo that, f'ing queer" kind of guy, keep your eyes open.

No straight guys don't do this with each other... that was the point. Neither was straight. Cal was closeted gay and Jonno was in denial.

reply

I like that they left that up to the viewer to decide. Rape rarely comes from normal desire; it's an act of violence. It seemed like Jonno could have been sexually confused, but he also could have felt betrayed by a best friend who decieved him. You just can't tell with guys like that..
