Some of y'all need to consider getting help.
If you still have the hots for him, awesome for you. But some of the stuff some of you write is questionable!

Well, when I say “eat me”, I mean eat me out lol
Also that Scorpio tatt is so uninspired. what a damn shame. May it forever remind him of a large roach on his body. No more shirtless pics of him for me 
He needs to make a comeback, and do all of the full frontal nudity roles offered to him
CMBYN was so well done—don’t wait any longer! I was a big fan of the book prior, and as usual, the book is certainly better, but the movie and adapted screenplay were great.
- oash,
I have no idea who you are or what you look like but you’re so sexy to me simply for reading. So many people don’t read anymore. One of the only books that actually got me hard and I totally agree, the movie did a pretty good job but 9 times out of 10 the books are always better
It was one of those rare cases where the book and the movie complemented and clarified each other. Reading the book was helpful in explaining Elio's confusion, especially in regard to Elio's girlfriend, in the scene where Elio makes a pass at Oliver at the spring and in the trip to Rome.
Hammer's casting was a little odd since he's not what I pictured for Oliver but he was pretty fearless in portraying the character as written in the book.
The book and the movie are two different beasts.
The book is darker and more psychological. Elio may be crazy. The ending rips the bandaid off. It’s like “Endless Love”, or “The Talented Mr. Ridley” without the murders.
The movie eliminated the book’s epilogue and kept it very dreamlike and innocent. As you may have noticed, the movie attracted a huge audience of teenage girls and young women who are a little bit crazy. Had they kept the original ending, where they rip the bandaid off, it probably wouldn’t have had that effect. Minghella’s “Ripley”, which is a masterpiece, had a profound effect in almost every gay man who saw it, because the movie understood the darker aspects of queerness. As did “Moonlight” and “Brokeback Mountain”, two more masterpieces that, ironically, like Ripley, were made by straight men.
“CMBYN”, made by a gay man, is basically a “queer tourism” film for women.
That being said, there is some evidence that a darker ending had been filmed and was eliminated, probably after testing poorly (Guadagnino’s films almost always have tragic endings.)
Anyway back to the subject at hand, Hammer developed a close mentorship with Guadagnino and for some strange reason took his mistress (the one now accusing him of sexual abuse) to Italy to meet him. At this point, I believe Guadagnino learned about Hammer’s, um, dietary preferences. And that was how “Bones and All” came to be. The movie was announced just after the scandal broke, but the rights and optioning and getting Chalamet and Stuhlberg on board would have happened before the scandal became public. Which suggests they also knew, likely because Guadagnino told them.
Now, someone who would do something this underhanded (take a friend’s secret and turn it into a movie) would not have made such a maudlin film as “CMBYN”. So imo, a darker ending was filmed (probably Elio killing himself) and eliminated from the final cut. Look at the endings for all of Guadagnino’s films. “Call Me By Your Name” is the outlier.

I’ll also add that the movie premiered at Sundance, which many people thought was odd because of its pedigree, and its Europeanness. Sundance is for movies like Birth of a Nation or Sorry to Bother You. I remember the first reviews said people were shocked this wasn’t sent to Berlin or Cannes.
I think it was sent to Sundance because the Final Cut was seen as a failure by the filmmakers, because it deviated so much from the film they set out to make (with the dark ending.) They were as surprised as anyone by the euphoric reaction.
