I haven’t had a chance to followup to my last video & text post re: my vegas trip but just to catch you up, I’ve finally recovered but still in awe of my experience. But unlike finding pubic […]


2 More flicks and then I think I’m movied out. For Now.

You Are My Sunshine:

A lovely and sweet Korean flick HIV romcom between a cowfarmer and a coffee bar prostitute. Um. Yeah. I know it sounds weird but it’s not the strangest film I’ve seen today. Of note, our cowfarmer owns 1 cow. Of note, our prostitute with the heart of gold has some […]


Jonestown: The Life & Death of the People’s Temple

This Film: Fascinating. Just totally fucking fascinating.
This documentary is both stark and intimate in revealling the creation, growth, corruption, and tragic end of of the Jim Jones cult known as the People’s Temple.
It’s amazing to me how a cult of personality can so enthrall people, overtake one’s will, and ultimately take the lives […]


Princess Raccoon (Should be Princess Tanuki)

Princess Raccoon with Zang Ziyi
First off, this film is incorrectly named. It should be Princess Tanuki, not not Princess Raccoon.
Per the ever resourceful Wikipedia
Tanuki (Katakana: タヌキ; or Kanji: 狸) is often mistakenly translated as raccoon or badger, but is in fact a raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides), a canid species native to Japan and other […]


All About Love

What’s more embarrassing than crying so hard in a theater that your contacts pop out?
Sitting in a private cube to watch a film in the press office and sobbing quietly to yourself while watching a film on a flatscreen monitor with headphones on and wiping your face as you sniffle and shake in a puddle […]


Al Franken in 2008! (God Spoke)

Ok.

So with Al Franken’s film “God Spoke” there’s a few givens that one will expect out of the film.
You expect it to be snarky. You expect it to have criticism of the Right. You even concede that of course, it will be very biased. But hopefully you’re tolerant of that.
You do *not* […]


Le Maison Himiko (House of Himiko)

Last night I saw this lovely film House of Himiko during the SFIFF.
There was surely a reason why the theater was packed! Catering to Japanese culture fanatics as well as the GLBT community, this film touches on great points of humanism, acceptance, affection, and the delicate balance of relationships between a number of ebullient characters […]


… In Bed (no, it’s not a fortune cookie film) (En La Cama)

I’ve just come out of my 2nd movie for the SFIFF and wooo… what a goodie.
In Bed

IMHO: A stunning film that is a study of pieces, intimacy at all levels, the lies we tell others, and those that we tell ourselves. The confessions of truth that are hard to swallow, and what the concept […]


Virtual Book Tour!

The Virtual Book Tour is on again and welcome ya’all.
It’s first off, v. cool to have friends in the literary field. They, like, make you want to, like, read and stuff. Stuff on paper even. That’s like, not attached to a power cord to the wall and stuff. Kevin’s cool like that
This latest […]


VBT Stop Today

Hey.
If this reads like ass, forgive me. I feel like ass. There’s been a personal tragedy, got news at 4AM, been crying my eyes out and intermittently swearing in rants and I’m not up to my full snarky game. Or maybe I’m better at the snark cuz I’m at bitchy Mach 10. […]

I’ve once said that certain people were so utterly worthless that the carbon of their body mass would be better attributed towards a tree. Or grass. Or even the mold that grows on cheese after 4 years in the back of your refridgerator.
Now if that tree were cut down and used to produce […]
