• Kissing boys on multiple platforms:
  If you've been wanting to try out the boy-kissing of Bully but don't have a PlayStation 2, soon more of us will have the chance to break into lockers and win the hearts of the gay teens at Bullworth Academy. Bully: Scholarship Edition will bring the game to the Wii and Xbox 360 in March with new missions, items and classes. I've only just gotten around to picking the PS2 version for myself and it's a lot of fun ... now if only I could figure out how to stop the camera from changing angles at the worst possible moment.
  

• Those candidates were fast as lightning, it was a little bit frightening:
  This week, Kung-Fu Election seemed to be the webgame that captured the imagination of videogame blogs. The game mashes up a Mortal Kombat-style fighting game with presidential candidates. Hilary Clinton gets to be one of my favorite kinds of fighting game characters: a warrior who can bust heads with a razor fan like Mortal Kombat's Kitana or Fatal Fury's Mai Shiranui. Poor Bill Richardson, to be turned into Street Fighter's E. Honda. At least his special move isn't called the "Robotic Candidate Attack".
  

• Boys who like boys and reading work by girls who like boys who like boys:
  This week, we gave you a look at boy-meets-boy manga with some suggestions for titles gay men may enjoy. If that wasn't enough for you, Canada's Xtra also took a look at YAOI. This one comes from the very knowledgeable Christopher Butcher, who focuses a little more on finding the steamy stuff. We both gave time to manga by Fumi Yoshinaga, which I say is a sign of what a great creator she is. At his website, Butcher also shows us a look at a great cover created by Eric Kim.
  

• I'll go for any excuse to shout out "Allez cuisine!":
  Well, here's even more reason for me to covet a Wii: the interactive gaming platform has an Iron Chef game in development. The blurb for the series mentions Iron Chef America spin-off series, The Next Iron Chef. I'm really curious if that means that Wii users will have a digital Alton Brown or if the game will feature the original Chairman Kaga. Either way, I'm dying to find out if they make use of the Wii's unique gameplay options.
  

• I wonder what kind of Lego buildings this will inspire:
  Back in October, AfterEllen's nogal4u took a look at customized Lego figures. I wonder what she thinks of the news that a set of Lego-eque Minimates figures will recreate characters from The Silence of the Lambs. Yes, there will soon be an official Lego-style Clarice Starling figure.
  



• Dig out those old Fallout 2 discs:
  Here's a way for you Fallout fans can make the time waiting for Fallout 3 go by a little more quickly: take a second replay through the gay-inclusive Fallout 2. Thanks to the Fallout 2 restoration project, you can have a new experience with a familiar game. The project offers a patch that unlocks content that was taken out of the game at the last minute.
  

• Webgame of the week:
  I know this week's entry is a bit heavy on the games but this one is one is a little too cool to hold back ... Cursor*10 is a puzzle game where your moves with your first life comes into play with all later lives. It's like a puzzle game combined with a Doctor Who episode.
  

Yesterday, we looked at a survey of the best film costumes of all time, a list that lacked any iconic men's costumes (as Gwen noted in the comments). Now to some degree, that could be seen as an example of how women's fashion allows for more experimentation, but there are a number of male film costumes that have had an impact on our culture and it seems a shame not to give them credit.

Thus, here are a few suggestions for men's movie costumes that deserve a place among the greatest film costumes of all time, and a poll inviting you to cast your vote for the best. Some of them are from recent films (though nothing as recent as Keira Knightley's Atonement dress) while some are images that have stood the test of time, but they're all memorable.

Tell us what you think of these suggestions in the poll that follows!

Jack Twist's shirt
From: Brokeback Mountain

Jack's shirt is the cornerstone of Brokeback's touching, closing scene where Ennis discovers his dead love's clothing intertwined with his. That reminder of lost love was a powerful image and when the shirts were put up for sale they pulled in over $100,000. The buyer, actor and activist Tom Gregory, called them "The Ruby Slippers of our time" (referring, of course, to the iconic costume pices from The Wizard of Oz) and swore to keep the shirts together, as they appeared in the film.

James Dean's Jacket
From: Rebel Without A Cause

James Dean showed have quite a bit of media savvy in one popular story about Rebel without a Cause. The story claims that Dean's character, Jimmy Stark, was originally supposed to wear a leather jacket but when Dean learned the film would be in color, he suggested his character wear something more colorful. The red, nylon jacket Dean wore became an iconic image for the classic film and for Dean himself. Rebel also featured an unrequited homoerotic relationship between Stark and Sal Mineo's Plato, with the red jacket playing a role in their relationship's final moment.

Daniel Craig's squarecut trunks
From: Casino Royale

One image key to marketing of the prior Bond film, Die Another Day, was the image of Halle Berry stepping out of the water in a bikini. With the arrival of Craig's Bond, however, we got a change in how Bond was marketed to audiences: this time it was Bond walking out of the surf looking sexy in a swimsuit. The movie poster showed Craig in Bond's traditional tuxedo, but Craig's buff body in revealing swimwear was the image we most frequently saw when the media discussed the film. It was the first time Bond's barely-clad body (as opposed to that of a "Bond girl") was the film's most lasting imagery.

You'll notice that this week's Two Gay Guys vlog contains some fancy shmancy upgrades! Freed from the tyranny of being tied to our desktop computer, we actually shoot on location and use all kinds of lame fancy camera work! Alas, our acting skills are, well, you'll see.

Inspired by the coded gay subtext in the new western 3:10 to Yuma, Brent and I discuss Hollywood's long, ignoble history of using gay stereotypes and cliches to make villains that much more dastardly. And perhaps we reenact some clips from Brokeback Mountain along on the way. We're practically dead ringers for Heath and Jake after all. If you squint. And have vision that is 800/800. And glaucoma. Oh, shut up!
