Required Gay Viewing: Paris Is Burning

Being that 2010 marks the 20th anniversary of this iconic documentary I thought it'd be as good a time to talk about my love for Paris Is Burning. For those who don't know (and shame on you gurls who don't!) Paris Is Burning provides a crash course on the black/latino gay ballroom scene of late 80's New York. Legendary house mothers such as Pepper Lebeija, Dorian Corey, Angie Xtravaganza and Willi Ninja--whose vogueing style inspired Madonna's "Vogue" video--as well as ballroom luminaries such as the late Octavia Saint Laurent are profiled about the deeper meaning of the grand balls, homophobia, transsexualism, gender identity and racism.

While the fact that many of the films' subjects have passed since its 1990 release makes it a little sad to watch, I believe this film is invaluable for the way it shows an oppressed minority within a minority finding a way to flourish in a culture that openly despises them. Like other oppressed groups, the participants in the ballroom scene create a safe space to celebrate their differences and provide support, taking the abusive language hurled at them from the dominant culture and refashioning it in way that is empowering. The colorful characters courage to be themselves in an era of AIDS-induced fear is inspiring and a slice of LGBT history that should never be forgotten. Not to mention the litany of classic lines. Here are a few of my favorites:


Pepper Labeija: "Having a vagina, that doesn't mean you're going to have a fabulous life. It might in fact be worse!"

Dorian Corey on reading: "If I'm a black queen and you're a black queen we can't call each other black queens. That's not a read it's a fact!"

Octavia Saint Laurent: "Five hundred dollars for a simple dress."

The ballroom announcer: "God help you, you know how the children are!"

Miscasts

http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/dw/topten/29208-top-8-miscasts

The Distress Watcher has a list of 8 Top Miscasting in Movies.  And, I agree with him for the most part.  I wanted to mention a few from his list. 

Arnold as Mr. Freeze:  Yeah, this makes the movie even worst, and Patrick Stewart should have played the role.  Instead, we get Arnold playing a supposedly intelligent scientist.  I think not, Joel.

Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka:  I have to disagree.  I like the more mean-spirited Wonka.  I’m not a Tim Burton fan, but I think he got this one right. 

Colin Farrell as Alexander:  Couldn’t agree more.  Except Oliver Stone’s movie was doomed no matter who was in charge of the role.  The movie was bloated and poorly constructed.  Just like many of Stone’s recent movies.  Stone made to the decision to cast Farrell and paid the price.  Stone needs to retire. 

Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble:  Rosie really got the voice down and sounded just like her, but the weight thing was major problem.  Betty was very skinny, and then you have Rosie.  To be fair, the current state Rosie is in today, she would have never gotten the part. 

Mother of the year?: Amber Portwood

Mother of the year?

Did she just pull a Chris Brown? 

Again, MTV brings the worst of society to the forefront.  Luckily, I’ve never heard of Amber Portwood until this incident, and I hope never see her again.  But, damn she puts a beating on Stay-Puff guy aka Gary Shirley.  Why is there a reality show devoted to teenage dropouts getting knocked up and hitting people?  Then again, we are getting another season of Kirstie Alley’s reality show on another network…

Amber just seems like an unhappy person.  Every picture I see of her on Google Image has her frowning.  I’m sure Mr. Shirley isn’t happy being with her; hell he’s probably lucky to have one girl interested in him at all.  And, that’s probably the reason why he continues to have a speaking relationship with her.  But, that doesn’t mean he should take that abuse.  I’d take custody of the child and not have anymore contact with her. 

I feel sorry for the child.  For one, she has to be on that stupid reality show.  Two, her parents are these two fools.  Every child born to stupid people like this has to work harder not repeat the same mistakes as the f’up parents.  And, she has all this to look forward to when they rebroadcast these episodes on the Holodeck in 15 years.  Enjoy…

Can we raise awareness through NOT getting pregnant?  Does anyone not use birth control?  

 Yes, ladies, this guy IS single now.  There’s a lot to go around. 

It looks like his girlfriend isn't only one "with child"...

Party Down: Season 2

Party Down: Season 2

The main message for this show is “failure” and “giving up on your dreams”. You will spend the rest of your life regretting the dead-end job you took instead. Hmm, I wonder why this show really speaks to me?

I've been watching the second season of this canceled comedy show from Starz. No one really watched the show mainly because it was on Starz, but don't let that hold you back from watching the two seasons.

The show is comprised of actors and writers that never made it big in Hollywood, so they work at a shitty catering service. They're all bitter about their position in life. Plus, they have to serve people at parties that are rich and famous in Hollywood. The show is the flip-side of the Entourage. It is made up of losers instead of cool people. These are the people serving drinks at the parties that Vince Chase goes to.

Every chance they have to achieve greatness, they fall back to loser-ville.

~The Character of Lydia Dunfree is very much modeled after Sarah Palin it seems. Megan Mullally has this Palin-like character down pat.

~Kristen Bell does a great job as the bitchy manager of a rival catering service.

~The show ends on a hopeful note...sort of.  

ALF is a racist

ALF uses the N-word...

Mr. Alf uses the bad word at the 4:35 mark. I don't remember Alf using that word on the show.  Was this an episode I missed?  

Did a redneck on Earth teach him that word or did he hear it on a rap song? I'm one not the use the word, but this was 20 years ago. It is kind of unnerving to hear a staple of the 80s repeating the N-word over and over again. That's like Prime from Transformers smoking crack.

Actually, it was a little strange seeing Alf attempting get Andrea Elson to have sex with him. Then again, have you seen this picture of her?

John LaMotta, an actor on the show, doesn't care and really hated working on that show. From Vulture, (( "I thought the show Alf was a piece of shit ... worst work I ever did."  )). Actually, most of the cast hated working on the show, and Max Wright (Willie Tanner) really hated the show. I guess he hated being upstaged by a damn puppet.

Yeah, it is a little shocking hearing Alf use the N-Bomb, but I was more offended with him tricking me into buying that horrible videogame. He needs to apologize for that.

Yes, I used to own this terrible game. Alf, you owe me some money.

Oh, did I mention that you can beat the game in seven minutes?

Shoulda' Been A Single: SWV "Anything (Extended LP Version)"

Yes, the remix is fiyah--from the "doo doo" harmonies to the "Get Up And Dance" horn sample (which was also sampled by KRS One for "You Must Learn"--get up on ya' music knowledge yungins lol:)--but the slower extended version is just as good, in a different way. With the slow, sexy bassline, Taj and Lelee's sultry backing vocals and of course Coko's one of kind vocals, this track could've held its own with the other ballads ("Weak" "Right Here (Human Nature Remix)" off the trio's 92' debut It's About Time.

And while we're on the subject, what has become of the quiet storm? I mean I like to take it to the club as much as the next gay, but have the current crop of female artists forgotten the power of the slow jam? Seriously, where are the new "Red Light Specials," "Don't Let Gos," "One In A Millions" "Soon As I Get Homes," and "Anytime Anyplaces? Yes I'm looking at you Janet--"Come Back To Me" with a good ballad Ms. Jackson! But I digress. Get into the song below:

Old Fart "Hover Hands"

There has to be a word that crosses Cute and Hot, and I'm not talking about the old guy either.

Come on, old dude, don't pull the Hover Hands at this moment. This is probably the best thing you're going to ever see in your twilight years. Touch those hips.

By the way, what is wrong with the camera? Was the camera being dropped as it was taking the photo? Was the cute/hot chick and the old guy going into warp speed just as the camera was being flashed.

Community: Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas

Community: Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas

Somehow, Abed's world changes into a stop-motion Christmas special. So, he goes on a “magical” journey to find the “true meaning of Christmas”.

This episode is brilliant and it makes fun of all those Christmas specials and even progresses the overall Community. The stop-motion FX brings back memories of those fun specials.

Abed goes completely crazy and turns the world around him into a twisted brain-fart. And, yet the episode is filled with some heart-warming moments as the characters look for the meaning of Christmas. And, at its core that's what the episode is about under its clever references. And, this is coming from an agnostic guy.

I really need to watch more of Community.

There are many great moments worth mentioning.

-A Christmas terradactyl: This was a great way to combine the coolness of dinosaurs and Christmas.

-Humbugs: So, these bugs eat people that are cynical. I guess I'd be the first one they'd eat.

-Lost gets a jab: Yep, the writers of the show throw in a bash of sorts to the makers of Lost for good measure. I loved it.

-Snowman Chang: Who thought Chang could be so much cooler as a freaking Snowman?

-I could have used just one reference to Davey and Goliath though.

Old Lady loses control of her wheelchair and takes down a girl in the process.

Old Lady loses control of her wheelchair and takes down a girl in the process. 

Okay, watch the right side with the old woman in a wheelchair and ignore the children dancing.  At a certain point, the old woman’s wheelchair goes crazy and shoves a young lady’s chair forward! (13-second mark)

You will notice a thud after the two of them disappear in from the screen.  I love the almost non-reaction to the accident by the rest of the crowd.  Plus, take note of the girl being pushed along, she never takes her eyes off the performance.  What a move!

The old lady rolls back, but what happened to the girl? 

By the way, the full video shows more of the layout of the room.  I’m guessing the old lady crashed the young girl into the DJ table or the stage.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm7sbpSm7RA

Rest In Peace Lady T

Legendary singer Teena Marie passed away Sunday at her California home. The singer's body was found by her daughter. She had apparently died in her sleep. According to CNN.com:

While no cause of death has been released, the singer's publicist Lynn Jeter said that Marie suffered a grand mal seizure -- a neurological event, marked by loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions, according to the Mayo Clinic -- a month ago.

Born Mary Christine Brockert in Santa Monica, California, Marie established herself as one of R&B's most soulful vocalists. First signed to Motown Records in the late 70's, the singer amassed a string of enduring hits, including "Behind The Groove," "Square Biz," "Lovergirl" and "Fire and Desire" her 1981 duet with Rick James. She also racked up four Grammy nominations.

The singer's music also influenced younger hip hop and R&B acts like Nas, The Fugees  and Snoop Dogg, who routinely sampled her work. For those who aren't up on Lady T's catalogue of classics here's a quick review below:

Yogi Bear...

Yogi Bear...

Not since the Chipmunks II, have I wanted a movie to fail more than this thing. Were children or adults demanding a remake to the old cartoon show? Nope, but we got the movie anyway.

While the movie underperformed during the opening weekend, it has been doing steady money during the week. So, sadly this movie will probably become a hit. It is currently 13% on Rotten Tomatoes. There are a lot of bad puns being thrown around with the reviewers that aren't that clever.

What does My Cousin Vinny and Sarah Palin have in common? Refutiate?

 Refutiate: Will it ever end

What does My Cousin Vinny and Sarah Palin have in common? How the hell should I know?

Once again, I get another informative comment from an Anon person. This time dealing with Sarah Palin's new word “refuliate”.

This is what the poster said, ((Anonymous said...

She did NOT make that word up.
That word was used in "My Cousin Vinny" back in 1992, during the courtroom scene..
Someone needs to get their head OUT of the basket.))

So, I replied with this, ((So, a fictional movie made the word up and Palin took it as fact? Doesn't that make it worst?

And, yes I loved My Cousin Vinny ))

I'm a little confused. What exactly was the point of the comment? Was he or she defending Sarah Palin? Was he or she defending the writers of My Cousin Vinny and stating that Palin stole the idea of the new word from Joe Pesci? I'm amusing Pesci was the character that supposedly made the word up. Using Pesci (Vinny) to defend Sarah Palin isn't best way to make her look smarter or stupider. But, it does make me remember the very hot Marisa Tomei in that movie, mmm.

And, I'd like to thank the Anon person for informing me that my head was in a damn basket. It is difficult to tell when one's head is misplaced in a basket. Someone needs to get my fist OUT of their face, a-hole.

It seems the word has never existed, and I looked it up on many online dictionaries. Nothing came up, except for my favorite site the Urban Dictionary.

There was one entry, and this is what it says under the term “MissPalin”. ((A misspalin is a misspelling added to a spell checker or the English Language.

Before Sara Palin refused to admit she misspelled "repudiate" as "refutiate", and then claimed that she was like Shakespeare adding new words to the English Language, there was no word to describe a misspelling willfully added to correctly spelled words. ))

If Palin actually kept using it, she could have easily turned her new word into the next “irregardless”. Irregardless is used so much that is has actually become a real word for many. Heck, my word processor doesn't detect it as a misspelled word. But, there are conflicting reports on the validity of the word though.  

Swatch Watches: I remember those now…

Swatch Watches: I remember those now…

They were the Trapper Keepers of watches at the time.

As I was reading Wil Wheaton's blog about him recalling Swatch Watches, I actually remember a lot of girls in my school wore them. Actually, it was considered cool to wear a lot Swatches. 

Swatches were huge back in the 80s and I mean really huge.  Many of my friends had a few of them.  I myself had those non-Swatches that were Transformer watches. 

I was curious about the origins of the Swatches, so I looked them up on Wiki. It looks like they were created by the Swiss and the name comes from “Second Watch” which means Swatch. This is one of those style trends I'd like to see again.

“I like your Swatch!”

By the way, some of these old Swatches are selling for 300 bucks.

Tron: Legacy

Tron: Legacy

Tron 2 is not a prefect film, and does have some pacing problems, but it is certainly one of the best visual films I’ve seen since Avatar.  The special effects are truly breathtaking.  Even most of the fight scenes are well shot.  The problem with the film is mostly some of the padded scenes toward the middle. 

Tron Legacy is set 27 years after the first film and deals with Kevin Flynn’s son Sam Flynn.  Sam discovers a gateway to “The Grid”, an upgraded world from the first movie.  Just like the first Tron movie, normal programs find themselves being pushed around by mean programs that round them up for various reasons.  Clu, a program created by Kevin Flynn, now rules the Grid with an iron-fist.  Clu is the main bad guy this time around, and he looks like a young version of Flynn. 

In the real world, which is only in 2D, the film shows us Sam as a prankster/hacker guy that seems to live an aimless life.  This probably has to do with the fact that his father left him 20 years earlier.  I also enjoyed the nice little knock against Microsoft with the boardroom scene.  These early scenes show that the digital real world has surpassed the original world of Tron. 

The new world of Tron truly feels like a videogame world coming to life.  We get a good look at this new world through the amazing disc and light-cycle battles.  And, let me just say the light-cycle battle is one of the coolest visual treats in the movie.  Each cycle explosion feels fluid and each zip pass the 3D camera is flawless.  The scene truly displays the masterful work from the CGI creators.  It is a shame we don’t get enough of this kind of work in the rest of the story. 

The story is weakest component that audiences will discover in this sequel.  Some critics call the story thin, but I disagree.  I found the back-story interesting, and wished the writers fleshed it out a bit more.  It feels jumbled and rushed.  Like Avatar, it falls into normal plot clichés and set pieces that aren’t that interesting.  Then, the story limps along during the middle of the film as well. 

The soundtrack/score really stands out and enhances the digital atmosphere of the movie.  The techno/dance Daft Punk composed the score.  I’m surprise how well written the music is coming from a group that is known for catchy dance tunes. 

Overall, Tron: Legacy is a sight to behold with its amazing FX shots and pure fun factor.  It is a real shame the makers of the movie could pace the movie better and write a better story.  Despite its shortcomings, the 3D is good, the FX is excellent, and the music wonderful in Tron Legacy.

Funny Cami Secret parody video

 Funny Cami Secret parody video

I love the parody, but what a stupid concept for a real product. So, are women willing to buy this snake oil?

Here is the real video

From the official site, ((Is your closet overstuffed because you only feel comfortable wearing certain pieces out at night and feel that they are too revealing for the office. With Cami Secret you can take your favorite low cut blouses and shirts and make them office appropriate in seconds. ))

Then, why would you wear low-cut tops at work?  I just think it is a bit of waste to buy a fake camisole.  And, I think camisoles are cute…real camisoles. But, it is only 10 bucks for 6 of them so there you go. I just think if you don't want horny guys looking at your chest, then wear something different.

The only way this product would work was if the ghost of Billy Mays appeared and pitched the product.

“Hi there, Billy Mays here for the Cover Boob! Are you tired of stupid, horny guys gawking at your fun bags? Then try the Cover Boob and...Oxi Clean.”

Side Note the rather busty woman in the ad has a blog of her own and talks about her Internet fame from the ad. Her name is Allison Mosier and she's taking the attention in stride. If my junk was a part of the Internet discussion, I'd feel very uneasy. There is even a facebook page trying to get Mosier onto SNL.

Men Without Hats Safety Dance Remix

Men Without Hats Safety Dance Remix

I have to say that this is one of the better remixes I’ve heard.  Somehow, the “Everybody Dance now,” remixes well with the song from 80s.  I am not sure who remixed this version or even if it is an official remix.

I'm calling BS on this girl. She's a waitress and she's afraid of pickles.

Side note: I love pickles. And I just discovered these spicy cut pickles that are the bomb. I've been putting them on my sandwiches.
