Gay Zombies!!!

(Slightly non-PC). You knew it was coming. No longer alive, and yet they cannot die. Though no self-respecting gay zombie would allow his rags to become stained so.

I Say A Little Prayer

Someone asked me today: What's your favorite movie scene? Not movie, but movie scene. Voici:



It perfectly conveys the tension between Julia Roberts and the groom-to-be, the obliviousness of the bride-to-be and her family, and the friendship dyamnic between Roberts and Rupert Everett in his first major role in an American film.

The movie's largely crap and one of Roberts' weakest, IMO. But this scene is golden. It'd be awesome if there an Oscar for "Best Scene."

Thank You, Matt!

This video (the sequel to Where the Hell is Matt?) makes me smile. Sometimes, I wish the world would just get over itself and just dance. We're all God's children, and maybe one day we'll remember that. Happy Dancing!

And One More Video For Good Measure

NSFW!

Alex Misses The Mark

An interesting video from MoveOn.org. But it's flawed, in a knucklehead way. I totally understand what they were going for - trying to pull at the heartstrings of parents and ram home the human implications of pledging ourselves to decades of time spent in the Middle East.

However, we still do not have a draft, and its not like the mother will have a say over whether little Alex will sign up. The commercial would have been much more effective if the woman had introduced Alex, then said something along the lines of: "John McCain, I hear you saying that you think we should stay in Iraq, and once even said you had no problem with the troops maintaining a significant presence for 100 years. I hope that Americans will think long and hard over what you've said, because when we pledge ourselves to stay in Iraq for decades, we need to remember who we're going to be sending."

And then a close up shot of little Alex gurgling, and perhaps teething on his plastic ring.

THAT would drive the point home.

This Is Your Brain On Hope

Cool video



How sad that optimism is considered so revolutionary...so, dare I say, audacious. I truly do hope that Sen. Obama becomes the next Kennedy (inspiration, Camelot-wise, not assasination-wise).

Wow

A full 84 percent say that the country is on the wrong track. Wow - just wow. A record, to be sure. But wow. I literally gasped when I read this. It seems impossible it could ever get any lower.
