Every year, the Academy rounds up five of the studliest studs working in film today to give them a trophy. Sure there's some acting talent involved, but it's more important to see which crop of gorgeous men have to compete with one another. If we at Dandy Dicks could, we would date them all. But if the Oscars teach us anything, there can only be one. Figure out which of the five hunks up for the top acting prize at this year's Oscars is your chosen gay boy for life.

One of the greatest gifts that came our way this holiday season was another masterwork from the maestro of revenge cinema, Quentin Tarantino. The Hateful Eight, his appropriately titled eighth feature film, is another round of witty, pop-culture-fueled blood spatter. But with all of the gore, it’s easy to forget that his casts include some of the most drop-dead gorgeous men in Hollywood of any era. To celebrate his latest epic, we’ve rounded up eight of his hottest hunks to grace the screen. WARNING: minor spoilers abound.

Am Hermannplatz: A love letter to the lost department store

At Hermannplatz in the German capital of Berlin there sits a grand dame who at the ripe old age of 87 has endured aerial bombardments, stock market wipeouts, foreign invasions, gentrification, the indignities of physical destruction and changing fashion, National Socialism and bankruptcy alike. Barely three years younger than the Queen of England, still she reigns, supreme (if a little deluded) as she surveys her subjects.

Cock ‘n’ Roll!! The Naughty, Bawdy Tale of Long John Baldry

Let’s hope to see the following category on Jeopardy one day: “Unknown Gay British Rock Stars”. It would feature one of the following answers: “This man discovered Rod Stewart.” Or: “The ‘Sugar Bear’ noted in Elton John’s song ‘Someone Saved My Life Tonight’, he actually saved Elton’s life.” Or: “Reginald Dwight took part of this man’s name as his own stage moniker.” Were you to watch, and actually guess, “Who is Long John Baldry?”, you’re lying. Or, damn, you’re good!

ABOUT US

WHAT IS DANDY DICKS AND WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?

And who the hell am I? If you’ve been following the blog at all, you may have wondered out of which horny hole this perverted punk has stepped. I won’t reveal too much – a bit of mystery is sexy, right? But a few things may be in order.

First, I was born in that part of the world that most people think is actually Canada, but it’s not. I was born in Alaska. Who would have thought that place could produce more than oil and Sarah Palin – two decidedly unsexy things.

Second, I’m no stranger to sex on screen. I appeared in two arty porn films with DVD releases: one in San Francisco and one here in Berlin. There may be other footage of me out there, but if so, I don’t know where. And yup, I moved to Berlin from gay ol’ San Francisco, where I learned to be a proper fag and how to be a writer all at the same time.

There’s more from San Francisco coming your way via Dandy Dicks, so stay tuned.

But I left San Francisco. And took my heart with me. Five years now in Berlin and I can’t think of a better place to be. I’ve been making it here as a writer ever since and I’m happy to report there’s no going back.

I think I’ve given you enough of the basics. More you’ll just have to find out either through this blog or a little Google. But I hope with that you stick around Dandy Dicks – for this blog and of course, the boys!
