I haven’t been this excited about a cartoon since I first saw Justice League (Later Justice League Unlimited). Marvel’s new Wolverine and the X-Men (I understand the reason his name is out front – but still, isn’t that like having a “Hulk and the Avengers” cartoon?) cartoon looks AMAZING!!!! So many familiar faces!
Apparently it has been airing in Canada and overseas for a few months… Any non spoiler comments/reviews?
The LOGO network’s website has added new Rick and Steve the happiest gay couple in all the world. If you missed season 1 – pick it up. Its a twisted comedy smash up of Queer as Folk and an irreverant sitcom as acted by Duplo block toys. Worth watching. I bought Season One and would definitely recommend it.
Check out Green Goblin jr (and Milk love interest) James Franco and his cute little (I’m guessing definitely younger) brother Dave as they impart words of wisdom about Sense Memory, Green Screen Acting and Scene Work.
Prince has always mixed spiritual overtones in his music, yet it took a Kevin Smith special to shed some light on this once popular icon’s evolution into a practicing Jehovah’s Witness. Evidently Prince believes it his duty to enforce his views of salvation on others when not spontaneously demanding the purchase of a camel at three in the morning.
There does seem to be more to this “black hatred” toward the gay community than media spin. Self-professed comedian DL Hugley admitted his conflict on the measure during his attempted CNN facsimile of Bill Maher’s popular HBO program. Even stars like Forest Whitaker and Don Cheadle belong to the Film Independent organization that donated funds in support of Prop 8. Why did blacks and Hispanics vote in strong numbers for a proposition to repress another minority? Jesus.
We all love Jesus. He usually has blond hair, blue eyes and tight abs when Mel Gibson isn’t busy obscuring all of that by bloodying him up and killing him in his movies. I don’t know why Mel hates Jesus so much. Spirituality can be an important force in centering an individual. It sure has helped minorities through some inconceivable times. Personal enlightenment has now been replaced with irrational superstition that is preventing gay men and women of some basic civil rights. God and religion have become a child’s binky for grownups.
Religion and gay rights can easily coexist as long as these “non-profit” organizations aren’t funding political initiatives (I’m talking to you, Mormons). Nobody intends to force churches in opposition to gay people to perform their marriage ceremonies. Nobody is trying to teach gay sex in schools either. The only indoctrination comes from the Christian community. Maybe they are mistaking their own tactics for ours. I could care less how a church or individual feels about my life. I just want the opportunity to live it the way I see fit – a way that doesn’t hurt anyone and has the same legal protections as others gay, straight, black, Hispanic, married or single. This battle is about more than marriage, it is about equal opportunity.
Let’s be honest here; this isn’t really about God. He’s merely the justification for the prejudice so bigots can sleep at night. This is about what everything else is about in this country – the kids. That’s why the advertising in Prop 8 focused on children. The leading website on the subject (preservemarriage.org – I refuse to link to them) has admitted to the fact that they don’t want to legitimize gay families. They really aren’t concerned about the “definition of marriage” as they claim. These zealots are worried about trying to explain their disapproval of thriving gay people and families in their community to their children without sounding intolerant. Ultimately – it’s about hate.
I love classic Prince music. He wrote “When U Were Mine” for my favorite singer Cyndi Lauper (who would likely kick his ass now) and other such Christian favorites such as “Cream”, “Get Off”, and “Pussy Control”. Should we forgive Prince? Maybe it’s just the syphilis talking. Let’s not forget the popular “Little Red Corvette” where he boasts his reuse of condoms. That would certainly do it. I’m not saying he actually has an STD but it would make sense for this crazy talk. I don’t even know where you’d buy a prophylactic for a dromedary.

I never really planned to do this blog all by myself. When I first started it, I kinda hoped for more comments and perhaps even some like minded peeps across the globe who might want author privileges. In the past Buttersboi has had some insightful and occasional scathing comments and also sent me some great rants that I turned into posts, but when he sent me his tirade on the munchkin formerly known as Prince, I felt he’d earned his own byline… Welcome to HeroesNHunks, Buttersboi, i hope you survive the experience.
And be sure to e-mail me if YOU (yes you!) might like to contribute sometime?!?!?! Got something to say about Comic Books? Sci Fi? Gay Rights? Human Sexuality? Entertainment? Politics? Action Figures? XXX Feature Films? or Pornstars? Than by all means – drop me a line at fanboi@heroesnhunks.com
