My Guity Pleasure 'Gossip Girl' Returns Tonight

Listen to This Shit for Brains Newt Gingrich: Obama May Hold 'Kenyan, Anti-Colonial' Worldview

as stated over the weekend this man is an american born and bred home grown terrorist.

he is inciting riots and worse. where are the 9/11 19 when we need them. o frack they died! those morons killed the innocents when their were real anti muslim americans to attack.

Song of the Day: 'I Know Him So Well'

'i know him so well'

two men...

and two women...

Remembering Claudette on Her Birthday

claudette colbert....france's greatest export to the states. claudette personifies what a film legend is. she spanned all of the movie experience. from silent films she easily and gracefully moved to talkies. from black and white she became more enchanting with the move to color. and from the big screen to the small screen she rounded out her career with the mini series 'the two mrs. grenvilles'. oh yeah there were the broadway triumphs too. claudette is gone to her peace but lives forever on celluloid. she won one oscar ('it happened one night') but deserved at least two ('since you went away').  i was first introduced to her work via 'since you went away' on television. it remains in my top ten of all time favorites. heck it also introduced me to the wonderful jennifer jones, joseph cotton, robert walker and guy madison. what's not to love!

her well deserved oscar was for 'it happened one night' and at 74 years old it is still one of the best comedies ever made. it defines classic film.

her 'cleopatra' still makes elizabeth taylor's look like a high school performance by an understudy.

'the sign of the cross' is still a risque romp filmed and released before hollywood had a 'standards and practice' rule.

'midnight' is another classic comedy. a wonderful romp really.

there are soooo many more but i'll single out 'the palm beach story', 'imitation of life' and 'three came home' also among my favorites.

so here they all are together. i'm rating them ****stars apiece as they all withstand the test of time. they need to be judged by the era in which they were filmed. they are classics all.

so thank you claudette for your grace, your charm and you forever enduring performances.

R.I.P.

Happy Birthday Jackie

Song(s) of the Day

the song of the day is a triolo of andrew lloyd webber songs sung by audra mcdonald, judy kuhn and marin mazzie. the songs are 'love changes everything', 'i don't know how to love him' and 'an unexpected song'.

What's On My Mind Today

9/11 of course is on my mind. my heart and spirit is with the family and friends of the victims of 19 terrorists. 


i spit on the ashes of these 19 men.


however it is also a time to think about the homegrown american terrorists that walk among us. the graves i hope one day to piss on...although i think my piss is too good for them!


he half governor sarah palin
sean hannity
michelle bachman
michelle malkin
the most unreverend terry jones
glenn beck
the orange man john boehner
rudi guilliani


the list goes on and on...so starting today we should take a look at the terrorists that have a voice...not the holed up ones we don't know of but the media savvy and public terrorists...


today's home grown terrorist is the madman from gainsville the most unjudeochristian terry jones.

'Playing for Time' ****stars

one of the best tv movies (1980) has been released this month. the extraordinary talents of vanessa redgrave and jane alexander raise this holocaust drama above most holocaust films. it is a gift that someone finally saw fit to give it a dvd release.

Song of the Day: 'Ring Them Bells'

when liza was liza...'ring them bells'

What's on My Mind Today: Can You Believe This C*NT?*

IT is commemorating 9/11 with a 'celebration' with the he IT in alaska and to be part of it you need to pay up to $250.00 to attend. these two douche bags are making money off the victims of the twin tower horror.

i repeat all you non-republicans better get out and vote this november. i'll say it every frackin' day if i have to. we are not here to merely be entertained.

i refuse to call it a bitch anymore as that is an insult to every female dog in thw world who are so frackin' far above this *unt .

Song of the Day: 'Crucified'

army of lovers...'crucified'

Happy Birthday Colin the Great

i am one of those who personally feel colin was robbed of the oscar this past season for 'a single man'. oddly enough the more i read the more i notice how many officiendos and film lover's agree with me. so up next it's 'the king's speech'. the film and mr firth are being widely praised and lauded at the massive amount of film festivals now happening. so maybe colin will get what he was robbed of this past season by giving the oscar in 2010 to the 'sentimental' favorite last time out. we'll see.

here's a clip from 'the king's speech

 

Song of the Day: 'Bad Romance'

lady gaga and 'bad romance'

thanks ezra

She is Such a Joke! She is Also Why We Must Vote for the DEMOCRATS in this Off Year Election

I  Just Love Making Fun of This Pig with Lipstick

she is emblematic of the far right whack-jobs

it's greatest hits

it's such an ass. this is perfect!

it's an idiot

yes the moron is an IT!!!

'What If': Todd Manning Met Spinelli

 

continuing with the abc soaps 'what if' series we have 'general hospital' meeting 'one life to live'

Let's Talk About Kim

it appears to be time for a kim novak collection. and it is deserved. i love kim novak. was she the best actress ever? no. so what. she was a personality who could act. she was one studios answer to marilyn monroe. did she beat out monroe? no. was she a better actress than monroe? hell yes and most film historians agree. i'm a film historian and i sure agree. so there!

and did i mention she's a beauty.

the collection includes 'bell book and candle', 'jeanne eagles', 'picnic', 'middle of the night' and the truly awful 'pal joey'.

'pinic', and 'jeanne eagles' are among my favorite kim films. they would be joined by 'vertigo', 'the legend of lylah clare', 'bell book and candle' and the 'notorious landlady' in my collection.

but i also give you the following kim films that i like a lot. are they great films. hell no. some are good. some are campy. hell 'the legend of lylah clare' that i listed above is one of the campiest films ever. hey i'm gay. we love campy movies.

so give the collection a try. but avoid the bastardized 'pal joey' that went from a damn good broadway musical to a lousy frank sinatra ego trip of a movie.

i give you miss kim novak

Song of the Day: 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'

fall is upon the northern hemisphere and as the seasons change so do we all change...so i'm going to try and expand things here. so i'm going to give a shot at a 'song of the day'...all i can say is my musical mind and tastes are all over the place...eclectic. so you  will never know what's up next. music is my life. it is in me. it always has been. music, all music, needs to be shared. i'm a virgo thus i believe in sharing.

to start things off is the queen herself, miss aretha franklin, with 'bridge over troubled water'.

What's on My Mind Today

what the frack...this moron the rev. terry jones is calling for koran burning on 9/11. all korans worldwide. a holy book he wants to burn. frackin' idiot! and this good, very good, christian man lives in florida. how embarrassed should i be? just a little bok burnibg celebration to get more of the muslim world to love america even more. douche bag. i have a nephew in afghanistan in harm's way already. i don't need this maniac making things worse for him. ain't christianity great. frackin'right wing numb nuts strike again. he is dangerous. they are dangerous. someone needs to fly a plane into his house and house of worship.

douche bags one and all!

Dusty Springfield

'Beautiful Boy'

michael sheen and the oh so under-rated maria bello in this future 2010 release grabbed me.

trailer

'What If' Dante Met Tess

the real deal here is dominic zamprogna.this guy has the talent and should make a go at the big screen.

'The Back Up Plan': **stars

i have a thing for jennifer lopez in her romantic comedies. i find her absolutely charming in them. even in this bit of a miss and mess she shines. alex o'laughlin is another charmer. they just have a lousy script to work with that's all too formula and familiar.

rent it on a rainy day. it will pass the time.

Pet

i'm on a well needed solo vacation so i'm leaving you with the wonderful petula clark to add some sunshine to your life today.

The Emmy's Redux

if you missed the emmy's you missed a damn good opening number. so here it is.

best bit: betty white and jon hamm

enjoy.

September Recommendations

'charade' is the real deal for me this month. audrey hepburn, cary grant and paris on blu ray. stanley donen's hitcockian thriller is and will always rate A+ in my book. if you've seen it see it again: if you have not seen it treat yourself. it is simply the best.

the first season of 'glee' is released. if you haven't seen it rent it and get ready for season 2 which premieres on september 21. you owe it to yourself.

and then we have season one of 'the vampire diaries' one of last year's best new tv series. i love it and it scores higher with me than 'true blood'.

season 2 begins on september 9th and i'll be there.

it is shakespere, it has kate winslet and julie christie and it's on blu ray. i need no other reasons to own it. i grant it is primarily a kenneth branagh vanity production but what the hell it still has christie and winslet. enuf said!

you needed a subscribtion to starz to see 'spartacus'. this month you can rent or own it on dvd or blu ray. this was an ambitius project and turned out to be one of the best this past season. i say go for it.

'letters to juliet' is a charmer. it's an ice crean sundae on a summer afternoon. amanda seyfried continues to shine even as vanessa redgrave steals the cherry right off her sundae. what can i say i love this type of film as much as most others when done right. this was done right.

last but not least is the first dvd only release of 1964's 'where love has gone'. based on the king of 60's trash novelist harold robbins novel it is a piece of high camp. for fans of bette davis and or susan hayward it is a must. these were the days of older actresses having to do camp or horror films to work. thank the gods this in no longer true. but as both a hayward and davis fan i can't wait to see them go at it again in living color. as far as camp films go it is an A.

these releases will also be available in september:


'poltergiest' one of the best of it's genre on blu ray.

'tommy' the who's rock musical mainly notable for tina tiurner as the acid queen on blu ray.

'harlow' a carroll baker vehicle that is good 'trashy' fun. it was done better as a carol lynley vehicle at the same time which appears to have disappeared. dvd only.


and of course


the fifth season of 'supernatural' will be released on blu ray and dvd. but for your own sake start at season 1
