Okay, all I need to say is that McKennl (Queer Housewife) and Diggerlicious should not go to see I Am Legend with Will Smith.

No, I didn't go, but Abu Felix told me so. And you shouldn't go, either.

Even though it is full of zombies, and therefore would be a natural for Fearsclave and his ilk.

PERSONAL NOTE: Ou, ou, Digger et Balou! Chou- ( Read more... )

So Guma recommended the His Dark Materials series to me way back in February, and I still haven't read it. The movie that's coming out, The Golden Compass, is based on one of the books in the series by Philip Pullman. And here's Pullman being interviewed by TIME magazine:

Pullman sees himself as championing the universal human values of love and ( Read more... )

Okay, it's a Friday, I'm jonesing for Battlestar Galactica and there won't be any until they get around to broadcasting new episodes next year.

But hey, doesn't this kid look a bit like Katee Sackoff, who plays Starbuck in the new Battlestar Galactica series? Sackoff is ten years older than Carly Schroeder, who is starring in a soccer movie ( Read more... )

And I meant to post on it, truly I did, but I was doped up and forgot most of the points I ( Read more... )

Clerks II is out and we want to see it. Meanwhile, director Kevin Smith, a/k/a Silent Bob, knows how to keep his pen in his pants, for sure:

RED BANK, New Jersey - Indie film director Kevin Smith chatted with fans, dispensed wry career advice to aspiring filmmakers and flat-out refused to sign a woman's rear end on Tuesday night when he came home ( Read more... )

Errrrgghh... Digit had to drive three hours off to do family things today & tomorrow, so Abu Felix came over and took me out to the movies (enormous barrel of popcorn), a chain called Tijuana Flats* (a very filling salad and, per Abu, the best burrito he's had in his life), and then Carvel's Ice Cream (dulce de leche - pralines and cream two- ( Read more... )

To help Pocahontas make you cry, a Tokyo theater

will synchronize seven different smells to parts of "The New World," starring Colin Farrell. A floral scent accompanies a love scene, while a mix of peppermint and rosemary is emitted during a tear-jerking scene. Joy is a citrus mix of orange and grapefruit, while anger is enhanced by a herb-like ( Read more... )

Dan Savage has a wonderful essay in the New York Times today about the horror of the Christian Right regarding the mainstream popularity of Brokeback Mountain, and the appalling (to them) fact that one of the missionary-martyrs in End of the Spear is played by an actor who is gay:

Sometimes I wonder if evangelicals really believe that gay men can go ( Read more... )

Eeeeew, oooowwww, baaaaad! I vaguely remembered this being billed as "an eroto-thriller" about a woman who shape-shifts into a black leopard now and then. A buddy who was fascinated by the idea suggested we get it from Netflix. He should be so glad we got it early and spared him.
