That Fabled Lost Scene From “54” Is Eh

Notice I didn’t type “meh”. Because “meh” is the worst. It’s the soul destroyer! Apathy is so gross. It’s just a difference of one letter but such an importance difference. FUCK “MEH”. I rebuke “meh”… My apologies, readers. I’m going on vacation for a couple of weeks (I heard that cheering. Shut up.), so I’m a little tipsy with excitement.

Remember 54? “Vaguely”, I know. Besides Mike Meyers‘ performance as Steve Rubell, it was awful. The one interesting thing about it was Ryan Phillippe claiming there was a kissing scene between him and co-star Breckin Meyer that was cut. Yeah, cuz’ you should remove all traces of gay sexuality from a movie about the biggest discotheque of the 1970s. *eye roll*

(To their credit, they did include Meyers drowsily telling Breckin that he wants to suck his cock.)

Anyway, the scene has surfaced. It’s a rough outtake, so it’s lit like a snuff film but terribly boring. There’s no heat! There’s some crying and bare chests, but where’s the passion? Where are the bulges in the P-Town Pete gym shorts? Where’s the nipple-flicking? This was pre-HIV 70s! These two should have been using a sling and Crisco-ing up each other’s assholes.

The one good thing about researching this post was being reminded of how Amii Stewart‘s “Knock On Wood” is everything. Aw sookie sookie now!
