It reminded me of all the great romantic comedies I grew up loving — When Harry Met Sally..., Sleepless in Seattle, Tootsie, and Working Girl — but they were never about a gay couple. I love those movies, but I never saw myself in them.

“Queer Maximalism x Machine Dazzle” exhibit at New York’s MAD (the Museum of Arts and Design), Pennsylvania-born Machine Dazzle has long specialized in uniquely flamboyant, eye-popping — and, at times — political ensembles for artists like the Dazzle Dancers (a ’90s performance group of semi-clad strippers/variety show-style entertainers) and Taylor Mac (the successfully subversive Off-Broadway playwright/performer). The 50-year-old designer, born Matthew Flower, put down his BeDazzler for a second to tell Queerty how activism has infused his designs.Hi, Machine.

Hey, remember that time Queer Eye’s Antoni Porowski did a random American Psycho parody for two and a half minutes? Like, what was that about?What it was about was this: back in 2018, Netflix did a bunch of horror-themed short films called Don’t Watch This because I guess it was Halloween back then? And also, why not? Netflix just, like, lit money on fire in 2018!Full disclosure, I’ve never seen and have no intention of seeking out any of the other installments in Don’t Watch This (got it, you don’t have to tell me twice, Netflix!). But the devastatingly cleverly titled “Antoni Psycho” (GET IT? HIS FIRST NAME STARTS WITH THE SAME LETTER AS AMERICAN! JUST LIKE AMERICAN PSYCHO!) is a dazzling mini masterpiece that should probably be in the Criterion Collection, and 100% deserves to be revisited now that it is Halloween Time 2022.Ok, so remember the movie version of American Psycho, which was a book by noted gaybones author Bret Easton Ellis who I think someone told me is maybe a white supremacist or something now? Anyway, this is basically the opening scene of that movie—or at least I think it was the opening scene.
