turns out that the so-called "mark of the beast" is just literally naming yourself something like "mr. beast" or "sauron"

modesty laws prevented showing even one lousy frame of John Waters' PINK FLAMINGOS (1972) in the trailer, so the only footage in it is of people reacting to a screening they just came out of. every single type of extant queer person is contained in the specific sequences I have selected here

Extremely sad to learn per this post from @thecure.com that Perry Bamonte has died after a short illness at home yesterday. Glad to have seen him at numerous points with the band over the years, including the most recent tour.

The Silent Partner is on Kanopy. Wish I'd known that before I started watching on DailyMotion. Their version looks great, but the volume is too low, and at a certain point, the screen froze. Still grateful to DM; invaluable when I was researching films starring Charlotte and/or Serge Gainsbourg.

Great shot of a great set of eyes. As LaBruce notes, "the cinematographer, Billy Williams, shot Women in Love, Sunday, Bloody Sunday, and the Iraq sequence of The Exorcist."

Now watching The Silent Partner, which is living up to my expectations: Canada plays Canada, Curtis Hanson wrote the screenplay, Oscar Peterson composed the score, John Candy a treat as a bank worker, and Elliot Gould and Susannah York bring the odd-couple chemistry. It's also a Bruce LaBruce fave.

Saddened to learn of the recent death of John Varley, a brilliantly talented writer.

rejoice, winter holiday trauma month is almost over!

enjoy what may be your last merry christmas, mister bond

“Went viral” is an old stock phrase in journalism that really does not capture the dynamic of how X dot Com has been tuned to give people like the one specific legislator here the power to intentionally cause this kind of outcome

Will Europe’s new creators of Christian imagery be allowed to push the boundaries of what Christian art can represent and to whom it might speak? Nativity scenes bring into focus two defining questions of our time: who belongs, and how far belonging can stretch.

Homemade caramelized onion dip is delicious, but I'm not sure it's better than onion soup mix and sour cream. Lipton really nailed it with that.
