I begin a new segment on Stay on Fountain with a picture of Lisa Simpson, my official Corporate Watchdog logo (until I get a cease and desist letter from Fox Entertainment). I’m here to ruin your Amazon shopping experience today. You like those discounts, yes? Got a lot of Christmas presents this year from the [...]

If the hippies and lefties of the late 60′s / early 70′s knew that a 20-something gay guy in West Hollywood would one day soon be referring to that time as “a simpler time,” they’d never stop vomiting. Well, that’s what I’m going to talk about today. A simpler time, which doesn’t necessarily mean a [...]

The Golden Globe nominations came out last week, and boy were we all “meh” here in Hollywood.  Could it be that we are so immersed in all things movies that it ceased to become special?  Are there so many film festivals and film critic circles and newspaper circle jerks that already preceded this Golden Globe [...]

She [...]

“Nobody’s Dirty Business” and “The Plank” by The Devil Makes Three. My friend Drew has recently given me a thorough schooling on modern bluegrass music.  Across two of those mixes, the clear Non-Avett Brothers leader here is The Devil Makes Three.  The key to bluegrass here is the tickling of the ear.  It must fall [...]

Does anybody remember a time when it was normal for opponents of gay marriage to provide this as a viable argument: “Gays can get married.  As long as they marry someone of the opposite sex.” It was a cuckoo crazy time when such an insulting, forehead-slapping, “Oh, I see what you did there” response was [...]

Review by Guest Writer DREW HUNTER First off:  No worries here, mate.  This ship is spoiler-free. Second off: There are two versions of this review – a short one (which, honestly, contains all you actually want to know) and a staggeringly, embarrassingly, annoyingly, cloying, minorly sentimental, long one (which is only here only for my [...]
