Liev Schreiber plays butchest drag queen ever.

The Village Voice's Michael Musto had a chance to talk with Elliot Tiber, about getting the gayer aspects of his memoir Taking Woodstock to the screen.
Turns out before Ang Lee took on the film project, Tiber had passed on working with two film studios that wanted to completely de-gay his story.
And even with Ang Lee at the helm, Taking Woodstock is not exactly Brokeback. Tiber points out that his original memoir contains anecdotes about Robert Mapplethorpe, Tennessee Williams, and Rock Hudson, and none of those made it into the final film.
Musto also spoke with Demetri Martin, who plays Tiber in the film. Martin says that a scene involving his character at NY's Eagle leather bar wound up on the cutting room floor. "I wore a leather vest and tight, dark jeans. But the regulars really did it up!"
Probably the gayest thing that remains in the film is Liev Schreiber's turn as "Vilma," quite possibly the butchest drag queen ever. You can judge for yourself in the clips that follow after the break!
So, thoughts on Taking
Woodstock?
