Without giving away too much, just listen to me, please. When I tell you that there's going to be a time very soon where we're going to send important stuff out on that email. And the thing that we're doing is going to be filled up really fast. And then you're going to be upset and you're going to write to me and say, and I just know this for many, so many times this has happened. Just trust me.

Jennifer Coolidge, it's interesting. Her... I don't want to call it schtick. She's really a star, and a star plays themselves in film after film after film. Bette Davis was always Bette Davis, right? There were just different personifications of Bette Davis, different people that that spirit of Bette Davis inhabited. And that's who Jennifer Coolidge is, right? She's a big star.

There is something about her... her performance style, her appetites, that just comes across as kind of gay chaotic that we can identify with, right? She's a little... Not messy in a bad way, just hard to contain herself, right? And she spills out at the edges. And sometimes her characters are, you know, like Stifler's mom, we're self-medicating with alcohol a little bit.

Like, there's greater degrees of substance abuse in the gay community for a reason, and often that reason is about disinhibition and needing to disinhibit. And Jennifer Kluge's whole style is a kind of... I'm not saying she's, like... playing a gay man or sending up gay men, but, like, we recognize ourselves in her and how she moves through the world. You know, in part, she's beautiful.

Like, Stifler's mom was the original MILF. All the boys in American Bible wanted to fuck Stifler's mom. But she's big in a way that women aren't allowed to be big in the same way that gay men, bi men are... same-sex attracted in a way and big in a way that we're not supposed to be big. We're often, gay people grow up, sort of policing our behaviors and actions to rid ourselves of tells.

It's why so many people will write to me when their gay friends come out and say, oh, my friend came out as gay and now he walks different, sounds different, why is he acting gay? And it's like, no, no, no, he was acting straight before. He's no longer policing himself. And that's what I always got from watching Jennifer Coolidge in anything.
