Washington will get its gays married, by Joe!  And Starbucks, one of the longest supporters of gay rights, publicly announced last month that they supported this bill (along with other Washington-based corp giants like Microsoft, Nike and Google).  As well they should!  The company knows to keep its one trillion sassy gay baristas happy, [...]

Written by Guest Writer Marcus Kaye The Oscar nominations were announced bright and early Tuesday morning, and I, much to my own surprise, was up to watch them. I needed to tune in, of course, to ensure that Sarah Jessica Parker got her rightful nomination for War Horse and that Bridesmaids swept the announcements. Like [...]

  Hey folks!  Please accept no post today, as my dog is very sick at the moment, and I must attend to him.  He is okay now and is taking medicine.  Jack shall have Jill, and naught shall go ill.  In the meantime, thank you for your readership, and as we’re trying to grow our [...]

I am not a football watcher.  I don’t know what a sports is, nor do I watch the ball that is kicked with the foot, despite 90% of the game, nay the ultimate goal, being to hold the ball with your arms.  I fancy myself more of a football listener, in that I have heard [...]

  My phone saves me, then makes me suffer as soon as I set it down.  In the two years since owning a smartphone, I have developed a new psychology.  I can’t be sure yet if it’s a positive change, but I do know that there’s no going back.  We will never get our email [...]

Written by Guest Writer Marcus Kaye How the hell have we already made it to the end of 2011?  I hope it was as fantastic for you as it was for myself, Adam Sass, and movies.  As you may know, I love lists.  My walls are covered with them.  My work desk.  My computer.  My [...]

‘CARNAGE’ FILM REVIEW written by guest writer Marcus Kaye If there’s one thing that Academy Awards winning director Roman Polanski’s Carnage has it’s Oscar pedigree. Starring Jodie Foster (Two time winner with two more nominations), Kate Winslet (1 gold man and another 5 nominations), Christoph Waltz (who walked off most recently with his statue for Inglorious Basterds) and John [...]

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 [...]

Kickstarter.com, for the uninitiated, is an artistic endeavor fundraising site that is extremely effective in getting the word on your project.  Sometimes it’s theater, sometimes it’s film, sometimes it’s art, sometimes it’s music. ….That’s pretty much it.  I’m sure you could get a Kickstarter for a building or a pricey medical treatment, but this is [...]

Written by Guest Writer Marcus Kaye Shame is a drama about a sex-addict that garnered an NC-17 rating and director Steve McQueen doesn’t beat around the bush (of which there is plenty, thank you Carey Mulligan). Opening on star Michael Fassbender in the buff, Shame, crosses the boundaries between narrative and pornographic filmmaking. The only difference is, the [...]

1: And There Will Be a Bleak Indie Featuring a Strong Young Female Performance (Martha Marcy May Marlene — in theatres) …And She Will Never Again Appear in a Film with a Budget Under $100 Million 2: And There Will Be a Dynamite Film with a Commanding Lead Actor (The Iron Lady — Dec. 28 [...]

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 [...]

William S. Burroughs!  Happy Thanksgiving!

From the desk of Adam Sass, P.I. November 19th, I can’t get this stench out of my office.  Like rotting vegetables.  My dog lost control of his bowels again last night.  I thought he was housebroken.  Then again, I used to think a lot of things that aren’t so anymore.  God damn, this stench is [...]
