Have to thank WickedGayBlog for turning me on to yet another series of amusing webisodes that I should have heard of before… What The Buck? I can’t believe I’ve been missing this guy.
Rapid-fire comedian Michael Buckley has signed a deal with cable network HBO’s digital media offshoot, HBO Labs. Details are sketchy but don’t just expect a cable version of his web show.
“I am sure that my YouTube audience will enjoy seeing me in another format,” said Buckley, 33, in an e-mail interview Wednesday. “And of course, I am hoping to attract a new audience of people who do not enjoy seeing a camp gay guy taking the piss out of [singer] Miley Cyrus.”
I was talking to a friend who put it an interesting way. When you think of Republicans, an affluent white man comes to mind. He’s got money, he’s not oppressed, he goes with the flow. But when you add something like being gay, you have to make a choice - Is going along with these guys just to protect your financial interests worth sending the message that its OK to treat homosexuals like second class citizens in order to distract the nation from this administration’s ineptitude?
I don’t think it is. I think real gay Republicans should find a way to change the party from within. but the problem is, the gay Republicans who ACTUALLY have any power to do so are loathing themselves in the closet or busy in a bathroom stall clandestinely sucking off trade instead of standing up publicly for the rest of us in Washington. To me the Log Cabin Republicans generally come across as sycophantic yes men following their wallet instead of their soul, and I haven’t seen anything this election to change that opinion.
I just watched this again while showing it to a friend and was so amused I had to bump it up towards the top again… But it’s worth watching - and sharing!
Well you can see why the Evil League of Evil accepted an adorable wimp like Dr. Horrible with the likes of these fiendish arch-villains in the talent pool. So break out your darkest duds, hone your super powers and polish your evil magic helmet for your own application… They’ve announced the best applications will end up on a DVD release of Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog.
The Allergen, Captain Shrovewreaker, Short Change, The Parasite (someone should tell him to change his name, it’s taken. He could go by Remora?), and Custodius Rex. C’mon people I think we can do better than these.
Then she PROBABLY shouldn’t be running for the job. I cannot believe Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin asked “what does Vice President of the United States do” on camera with witnesses.
Former beauty queen, Sarah Palin was elected Alaska’s governor a little over a year and a half ago.
She is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest. She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000. She thinks creationism should be taught in public schools. And she doesn’t think humans are the cause of climate change.
I’m hoping she’ll be so offensive to the middle of the road Republicans that they will flock to Obama. I’m not sure why McCain would choose her unless he is intentionally shooting himself in the foot. I would think already being a republican and running against Obama, he would need to worry more about catering to those who might actually vote for Obama than catering to a group that would never vote for him (pro-life, creationism in school bible thumpers). Can anyone explain this choice to me? What is hoping to gain with her, aside from someone whose not as likely to keel over from old age. Even her mother-in-law isn’t sure if she’ll vote for her.
An unexplained industrial accident at Lucasfilm has unleashed hundreds of Star Wars special effects on an unsuspecting San Francisco… See for yourself.
Oh MY GOD! This is the most brilliant cartoon I have ever had the good fortune to personally witness. PLEASE tell your friends! and tell them to tell two friends and so on, share it on you own blogs, show it to yo mamma, whatever. just spread it virally.
I’m not a HUGE reality TV fan. With shows revolving around tanning salons, dog groomers, morticians hair stylists, has-beens and never-weres, I usually say we have had enough so cut it out! But for Margaret Cho, I’ll make an exception.
I hope she makes a success of it. She is a damned funny woman who deserves to be on TV weekly! With episodes about Cho’s celebrity adventures and a cast of friends, family and assistants, the formula seems similar to Kathy Griffin’s Life on the D-List. Well if it ain’t broke…don’t fix it. Check out the pilot. VH1 Thursdays at 11. Here is the pilot!
Queerty has a great interview with Margaret Cho. She covers everything from her inability or orgasm during intercourse and exploits with anal bleaching to the difference between her gays and Kathy Griffin’s gays.
ANSWER: Her (Kathy’s) gays are high end, like her gays are super famous, like Lance Bass, and mine are all bears. I’m a Goldilocks. I’m all about the bears.
As usual, Stan starts out on the ridiculously uninformed side *who wears assless chaps on a cruise to Mykonos? Everyone knows that Greece is too hot for that… a simple leather studded banana hammock is more de rigeur.
… Of course, Stan eventually comes around, in his own way.
I like to keep a lookout for new gay cinema and spotted this scene from After Sex the other day on WayOutWest and it seems worth watching. I may be projecting, but I just don’t buy the curious fratboy trying out for the catcher position before he even has a shot at bat, (Freddy must have some serious game when it comes to seduction lines) but I’ll check it out when I can find a copy and let you know what I think. The movie is a collection of both straight and gay relationship stories. Anyone else seen it?
After Sex is a relationship comedy that uses sex as a background to examine intimacy and vulnerability. It’s a humorous, yet honest look at modern day relationships told through nine couples.
Written and Directed by Eric Amadio. 2007 Freddy (Tanc Sade) and Jay (Noel Fisher)
Through witty dialogue and compromising situations, the film takes us from the beginning of a relationship to the aftermath of one, and examines every stage in between while somehow finding humor within the drama, heartache and confusion of it all.
I;ve been wondering this for myself and I KNOW what the words mean. I think it may be a tough sell since I’d be willing to put money on the fact that a large percentage of the American movie-going public will not know what EITHER word means.
Quantum is defined as: The smallest physically realizable unit of something. Solace is: Comfort or consolation in a time of distress. So basically someone is in distress and someone else shows as little support as possible.
OK I admit I usually think she just comes across as a vapid entitled whore, but this is actually pretty amusing. Crazily enough, her suggestion for the energy crisis seems sound.
Sorry I didn’t post much this weekend. I kind of got sucked into City of Villains’ double XP weekend. If you play in Virtue, say Hi to Spidertwink. Here’s some random goodness I found online today…
How would Republicans like THIS as the cover to the National Review… methinks not much. In case you missed the satirical New Yorker cover that started all this brouhaha… click here.
