Sure, the screenwriter calls it "subtext," and director Jack Sholder deflects a few of the more overt references (suggestive dance scenes, New Line president Bob Shaye as a frigging leather-clad bartender) as clues that came to him later, but hearing everyone from Robert Englund to gleefully out leading man Mark Patton discuss what they pulled off on the studio dime is nothing short of engrossing. "All I can say is were were all incredibly naive," one executive says. "Or all incredibly, latently gay. I'm not sure which." If this is what we all have to look forward to in the sequel to this year's turgid reboot, let's get that thing going already.
