Holiday movies worth dying for

My favorite gossip website, Dlisted.com, posted a story about a man in a Philadelphia movie theater who shot someone in the arm on Christmas Day for talking during a showing of BENJAMIN BUTTON. The victim was taken to the hospital and shooter was arrested. He was charged with with attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons violations.

I hate when people talk during movies but that seems pretty extreme. I was planning on going to see a movie on Christmas day but nothing looked appealing. So instead I stayed home and watched A CHRISTMAS STORY on TBS. A CHRISTMAS STORY is an awesome movie but not worth dying for.

Here's a list of my favorite movies that I'm willing to get shot in the arm for (*My right arm though because I'm a lefty)

1. AMELIA
2. SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN(I LOVE claymation)
3. OVERBOARD
4. *Not a movie but the box set of 6 FEET UNDER
5. BATMAN THE DARK KNIGHT
6. BOURNE trilogy
7. LEGENDS OF THE FALL
8. ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF A SPOTLESS MIND
9. ELIZABETH
10. THE LORD OF THE RINGS: The Fellowship of the Ring (I'm not risking my life over the second and third movie)
11. DROP DEAD GORGEOUS
12. PUNCH DRUNK LOVE
13. ELF
14. ANGELS IN AMERICA
15. FARGO
16. THE USUAL SUSPECTS

What, if any, movies would you risk your life for?

This is newsworthy?

Dear Santa Claus,

Dear Santa Claus,

It's me Bridget! As you kow I've been good all year which was really difficult because I hate most people.

Speaking of hate, I hate HATE! More specifically I hate the California voters that voted YES on Proposition 8. Proposition 8 is discriminatory and hateful. And now the Prop 8 proponents are seeking to nullify my marriage and the marriages of the other 18,000 gay couples that legally married before prop 8 passed.



So Santa, there is only one thing I want for Christmas this year. I want all the people who voted Yes on prop 8 to die a slow, lonely and painful death because they are assholes.

Love,
Bridget

P.S. Michelle Obama is really HAWT!

ReRejected

Did anyone else watch ABC's "talent" show REDISCOVERED?
*Note I have quotes around the word talent.

The premise of this Donny & Marie-hosted (are they still alive and why are they still working? How come Cher and Streisand keep retiring and we can't exterminate these Mormon Botox-filled freaks?) depressing show is that five child stars that never "made it" deserve another chance at fame. They get that shot, then four of them get re-rejected by an ABC studio audience.

Here's ABC's write up:
"In "Rediscovered" we'll look back at the original casting tapes of five aspiring child stars. Contestants who have been chosen to be "Rediscovered" include a banquet manager, an insurance marketer, a holistic therapy salesman, a real estate assistant and a building contractor. The chosen few will be flown to Los Angeles with their families to perform live in front of an audience, after which the live studio audience will pick their favorite."

I was so confused watching this trainwreck of a show. Where? What? Who? How?
And then I ended up feeling bad for these exploited wannabes but mostly I felt bad for my talented writer friends that can't get jobs on scripted televisions shows because stupid reality/talentless show like these get made therefore eliminating scripted television shows.

GAWD I miss the COSBY SHOW!

p.s. Ba humbug!

ThunderCats HO!

When I was a kid I was obessed with the HEMAN and ThunderCats cartoons. Below is a faux trailer for ThunderCats the movie staring Brad Pitt and Hugh Jackman.

BRUNCH WITH WORKOUT'S BRIANA

Happy Sunday! My last new BRUNCH of 2008 was just posted on Afterellen. This week I'm in bed with Bravo's WORKOUT Season 3 vet, Briana Stockton.

Briana shows me the finer points of fitness and even demonstrate some ab and ass-ripping exercises. Who knew jumping rope while wearing a wig could be so challenging?

Briana also shares the benefits of a raw food diet and we sample a delicious green concoction of spinach and bananas....yum yum. Tune in to learn all about Briana's plan to whip all of you unruly, hung over lesbians into shape with her fitness classes this spring at The Dinah!

Switzerland YCTTA video

Hi guys- Happy Friday!

PART 1 of "YOU CANT TAKE THEM ANYWHERE" Switzerland has just been posted on Afterellen.com. This video covers the biggest city in Switzerland, Zurich.

We had a brief but action-packed stay in Zürich, which included lots of shopping (the Frietag building, made of recycled materials, was one of the most interesting shops we visited), dining on delicious foods (the vegetarian restaurant, Hiltl, was our favorite), and exploring every nook and cranny of the beautiful historic city with the assistance of our incredibly well-informed guide (courtesy of Zürich Tourism). In our down time, we enjoyed our very chic accommodations at The Helmhaus Hotel.

We devoted a whole day to a side adventure at Zoo Zürich, where our brilliant and hilarious (but, unfortunately, camera-shy) guide gave us a fascinating tour of the Zoo's exhibit on homosexuality in the animal kingdom. Thanks to her, we learned a lot about the gay habits of a variety of creatures. As the saying goes, we are everywhere!

We hope you'll enjoy the video devoted to our visit to Zürich, and if you have any suggestions for where we should go on future trips back there, let us (and everyone else) know!

Tune in to AE for Part 2 of YCTTA Switzerland...

Wanda on LATE NIGHT

I love Wanda Sykes and I also appreciate Jay Leno but last night on LATE NIGHT I was very disappointed with Wanda's interview on the show.

It's wonderful that Wanda has "come out" and is acting like a gay leader because gay visability truly matters but I'm wondering is it too little too late? Where was Wanda before the passage of Prop 8? She DID speak out against gay discrimination and her support of gay marriage BUT she didn't make any big announcements, like her being gay and married to a woman, to help support the cause or get people to change their conservative minds until after the vote and everything was said and done.

During last night's LATE NIGHT interview, Wanda and Jay discussed prop 8, a day without a gay and Jay (who is gay friendly) joked that he made Wanda gay because he hit on her.

Jay also joked that if lesbian couples went to straight men's houses and had sex in front of them then maybe straight men would support gay marriage. ummm...what?

I do realize this comment was made in jest and I hate being a stereotypical critical lesbian but I was truly offended by that remark. The entire point of prop 8 and gay equality is that we don't want to be discriminated against and treated differently. Do you think if Ben Affleck was the guest Jay would ask Ben and his wife, Jennifer Garner, to go "make-love" on some stranger's floor?

I want my relationship to be respected just like I respect straight couples relationships. My monogamous lesbian relationship shouldn't be disregarded as a straight guys fantasy of long haired long nailed femmes.

Once again, I commend Wanda for spending her interview time discussing gay issues. But it would have been helpful to promote an organization that is currently fighting back to overturn prop 8 like the COURAGE CAMPAIGN. LATE NIGHT has a huge audience and if the gay and gay friendly people knew where to go now with their donations and support then it could really make a difference.


p.s. I truly respect Wanda and Jay. I'm just overly sensitive when if comes to me and my wife's civil rights.
