Gay for a Day — We were Harvey Milk extras!

Woowoo! Today Chris and I spent the day getting kinda sunburnt and cheering ourselves hoarse in front of Sean Penn* for the new Gus Van Sant movie Milk, a biopic on Harvey Milk, California’s first openly gay elected official.

Stuck he-said-she-said movie review screener!

HE SAID
Unlike Diary of the Dead, the commentary found in Stuart Gordon’s latest is surprisingly subtle. Based on a true story, the film sees a health-worker hit a homeless man with her car following a late night dancing, drinking, drug session. Concerned with the loss of a possible promotion, she opts not to let anyone [...]

There Will Be Blood
HE SAID: An undeniably well-crafted film from Paul Thomas Anderson, but [...]

Teeth movie review he-said-she-said

HE SAID:
I was hoping to compare this to Sexual Parasite: Killer Pussy, but Discotek never sent me a review copy (probably because I panned A Chinese Torture Chamber Story). Still, I have a feeling that what I saw in Teeth was infinitely funnier, grosser, and better thought out and executed than anything in that film. [...]

MOVIE REVIEW [He-Said, She-Said] . Diary of the Dead

HE SAID:
Ty Burr of the Boston Globe said Diary of the Dead played “like Cloverfield for grad students.” I’m sorry to say, Ty, if this is your idea of grad school argument, you’d better ask for a refund on your college tuition. As far as social commentary is concerned, Diary of the Dead is freshman [...]

Never Belongs to Me movie review he-said-she-said screener!

HE SAID:
Nympho teacher
cyborg schoolgirl hooker
penis gun
gay gangster
tiger man
crippled hands
tiger eat da penis…twice
Love makes you do crazy things.
Never Belongs to Me is quite possibly the weirdest film I will see this year. Far from the pretentious weird of last year’s Another Hole in the Head pick, Id, Never Belongs to Me is more the fun and [...]

RonPaul.com sells for $25k

Ron Paul, dreamlogic.net fave Republican Presidential hopeful (totally media-snubbed despite his overwhelming “underground” popularity — amazing record-breaking campaign fundraising and high finish in Nevada), has no affiliation whatsoever with RonPaul.com… well, not yet anyway. Recently, RonPaul.com (formerly a Portland consulting firm) sold on eBay for $25,000. The winning bidder’s id, domaininsider, leads me [...]
