I’ve been seeing previews for The Devil Wears Prada, and as much as I’d like to see Meryl Streep sink her teeth into what looks like a pretty over-the-top role, I don’t think we’ll be spending any babysitting mojo on this one. I’ve heard the story (it’s thinly veiled account from a former assistant of […]
How "movie literate" are you? After rating over 900 movies on Netflix, I figured I must be passably literate when it comes to movies. So when I saw the 101 movies meme, based on Roger Ebert’s list of moves you have to see before you can have an intelligent discussion about film, I thought I’d […]
So much for the great gay lovefest at the Oscars. Our coveted golden boy, like so many other men before, slunk out in the middle of the night without even leaving a twenty on the dresser. But, that doesn’ t mean things necessarily look worse in the cold light of morning, not if you look […]
We finally saw Brokeback Mountain. The first time, Parker got a case of the scoots and we got called to pick him up just before showtime. The second time, it snowed, and out babysitter was trapped in Virginia. But the third time, we finally got to see the movie. By now, I’ve read the story-to-screenplay […]
Margaret Spellings doesn’t like Buster, but she liked Brokeback. And now we have a new way to spell “h-y-p-o-c-r-i-s-y.”
This is funny.
Strong willed Baptist Pastors across this Christian nation have been keeping mum regarding their concerns about the popularity of the new pro-sodomite film, “Brokeback Mountain.” There is an unspoken edict among conservative religious leaders to keep silent their opinions about the film, in hopes to quell the onslaught of misguided popularity that usually […]
And Hollywood, and just about anywhere else that culture, art, and homosexuality intersect. Because they just can’t handle it. I’ve been reading various reports about the controversy that gay actor and activist Chad Allen’s star turn in the missionary flick End of the Spear is causing in fundamentalist circles.
It would be funny if these […]
This is just one of those things I can’t help but point out, because the idea hit me as soon as I read it. The connections are just too interesting not to mention it. Independent Sources leans somewhat to the right, but I check it out every once in a while, and happened across their […]
I haven’t commented yet on the theater in Utah that cancelled its showings of Brokeback Mountain, but Kip notes that the same theater is showing the latest Quentin Tarantino-backed bloodfest, Hostel. (Note: You might not want to watch the preview if you’re at work of if there are children present.)
Watch the trailers for both movies […]
Today, during some rare and much-needed time off and alone, I did something I rarely ever do. I went to see a movie…in a theater. And, as the hubby and I have very different tastes in movies, I took the opportunity to see one we were unlikely to agree on seeing together. (We’re saving Brokeback […]
I finally got around to watching the documentary The God Who Wasn’t There I wrote about it a while back, after learning of it’s existence, and added it to my Netflix queue — moving it to the top once it became available. It arrived yesterday, and I watched it last night once Parker went to […]
RedState .Org has launched a Narnia Hate Watch. How long before they find me, I wonder?
Here at Redstate we have been struck by the level of unabashed odium that the upcoming film The Chronicles of Narnia has already provoked. Not since The Passion of the Christ have we seen such hatred for a film yet […]
As has been noted before, I have a knack for taking rather innocuous social institutions, etc., and reading way too much into them. So, I won’t go into a diatribe about the The Chronicles of Narnia — even as the movie is about to be released — as a propaganda for “muscular christianity,” […]
I’m still fiddling around with The Movies, and finding it exactly the kind of computer game that appeals to me. I’ve never been much for first-person shooters, and I’ve never been very good at them. I’d much rather see what I can create with a simulation game or one that lets me tell stories (like […]
So, I was such a good boy yesterday — meeting and surpassing my NaNoWriMo word quota — that I treated myself to some time playing around with The Movies last night. After going through the tutorial, playing a basic game, and bringing a 1920’s studio to the brink of ruin, I dove into the sandbox […]
