Trailer Park: J. Edgar

Here's the trailer for J. Edgar. Based on the life of FBI founder and cross dresser extraordinaire, J. Edgar Hoover. Staring Leonardo DiCaprio and directed by Clint Eastwood.

This is one of the few movies coming out this year that I'll actually hover into a movie theater to see. What I like about it is the fact that it doesn't seem to be shying away from the bullshit that Hoover pulled in his life as well as all the good. For all his ambition he was also a very bitter, paranoid man, and loved to invade the privacy of others and blackmail them with the shit he found. Reason being was the heavily rumored and by all accounts most likely tidbit that he was a closeted gay man, who also had a habbit of cross dressing. His supposed lover was his number 2 man, who never left his side. You can spot him in the trailer. So I'm glad to see the film actually go there and not just ignore it, as well as the fact that Hoover by and large was a total fucking asshole. DiCaprio will likely be excellent, and Eastwood's direction is always very reliable. So count me in! Movie comes out November 9.

  1. Is Leonardo the only guy left in Hollywood for these types of movies?
