This blog gives a look into the eternal sunshine of my ever roving mind. I consider myself a social critic. I believe in Film, Music, Theatre, Musical Theatre, Gay Rights, the Right to Choose, Human Rights and YES I still believe in Barack Obama. I believe in most things left of center. I don't get any organized religion.They are all a sham. This is the gay pride flag. I am proudly gay. These are the things this blog is about. Love it, like it or leave it. We all have choices.

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.

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.

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 .

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

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'.
