What I think I'm trying to articulate here is that McDonald doesn't just look at movies with a queer male gaze, but with a highly skeptical eye for heteronormativity and its attendant ills, misogyny included.
From your excerpts above it sounds as though part of his technique for doing so is to adopt the narrative tone of "here we see another artifact from the exotic culture of the Straights." ;)
It is impossible to take two steps on Tumblr without tripping over someone perving on Tom Hiddleston. It took me about ten seconds, for argument's sake, to find an equivalent appreciation of Duryea.
Hell, years ago I found the website (http://www.lchr.org/a/10/nk/) of someone who likes Peter Lorre even more than I do, which is to say, to a frightening degree; I think they also ship him with Margaret Hamilton. Also it claims to be part of the "Yiffy European Actors Webring."
