With my assistance, Heidi gives a tutorial on shooting the infamous horror shower scene, explains why romantic comedies are just like slasher films and finally announces to the world that she is in fact GAY (even though she really isn't).

Confused? Then watch the episode figure it all out.

HOUSE BUNNY Film Review

I'm a big fan of Anna Ferris because she has no problem making a jackass out of herself. She has great comedic timing and an array of zany facial expressions. So to support her I rented HOUSE BUNNY.

The movie was terrible and funny at the same time so I'm going to call it "terribly funny".

Anna (yes, we're on a first name basis) plays Shelley, a Playboy bunny, who is tossed out of the mansion, she has nowhere to go until she falls in with the sorority girls from Zeta Alpha Zeta.

The movie has some very bizarre moments but here's 5 reasons you should see this "terribly funny" film:


#1. Hugh Hefner's bad over-acting. I heart him.

#2. A. Katherine Mcphee karaokeing to "Like a Loser"- a rendition of "Like a Virgin" p.s. She's pregnant in the film and nobody mentions or seems to care who the father is. AWESOME!

#2. B. Rumer Willis' "Forrest Gump" run and the shedding of her metal body brace. Why the hell is she wearing it in the first place- nobody knows.

#3. When the elderly start dancing and swinging their canes and walkers around.

#4. When Anna (yes, we're friends-in my mind at least- I thought we covered that already) says, "The eyes are the nipples of the face." Shakespeare couldn't have written it better.

#5. Anna Ferris, Anna and her plethora of skanky costumes, Anna's monologue about her heart not really being located in her skull, Anna getting severe leg burns while attempting to reenact the Marilyn Monroe scene over the manhole, Anna screaming, "Sweet balls!" as she's staring into a man's crotch, Anna, Anna, and Anna!

LENA HEADEY stars in GHOSTELLA

It's finally here! The season finale of Ghostella's Haunted Tomb starring the incomparable Lena Headey.

The "terrifying" episode is called TOP FRIENDS and Lena's character proves she will do anything to be the only one left standing.

ENJOY!

p.s. Give some love to the director, Stacie "Final Girl" Rockstar Ponder, because she totally KICKED ASS in making this film!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween bitches!
I was out in the world today watching the numerous pedestrians dressed as Sarah Palin..ooo...scary...and I am getting so excited that it's the official night of trick or treat.

My special treat you to is my Halloween episode of Brunch with horror film director Stacie Ponder. If you haven't already seen it then check it out:

Night of the Living Brunch 2

I look gay

This morning I put on a pair of track shorts, an old teeshirt, threw my hair in a messy pony tail and went for a walk. After I was finished I stopped at Starbucks for a grande unsweetened ice coffee (my favorite) and started walking home. I crossed the street and a beautiful african american woman in a suit came up to me and said, "Do you know where there is a Coffee Bean store?"

I responded, "Well, there is a Starbucks right behind us." And shook my cup in the air indicating that's where I purchased my amazing beverage only moment ago.

She said, "Thanks! The reason I stopped you was because I knew you would know since you're gay. And I'm gay too by the way. See you later."

umm...what? She knew I was gay? Did she know I was gay because of my appearance or because I was rockin the Starbucks which is AWESOME and gay people are AWESOME. Basic math would say that AWESOME + AWESOME = Super AWESOME!

I'm still confused by my street meeting but the moral of the story is: I look gay and I'm proud of that.

Ingredients for the best milkshake EVER!

Here is the recipe for the bestest milk shake ever:

1 cup Silk Lowfat Soy Milk
1/2 cup Starbucks Java Chip Ice Cream

Put above contains in a mug and stir until awesomeness has occurred.

p.s. FUCK YEAH!

Cactus Meat?

I just finished watching IRON CHEF and the "challenger" made a dish with "cactus meat" I didn't know cactuses had meat! Did you?

Please let me know if there are other meats on this planet that I'm unaware of.

FU, F.O.T.G!

Tonight I watched the 1976 sci-fi horror film Food of the Gods (F.O.T.G) so I could participate in the fabulous Final Girl's film club. Just one glance at the amazingly bad dvd cover and I was ready to go!



Giant rats, enormous killer chickens and evil wasps!!! Now that's my kinda movie.

The film begins with a voice-over from Morgan, a professional football player/ horseback riding MacGyver. Morgan quotes his father's wise words on the upcoming animal apocalypse. When my dad and I talk it's usually about my mom or the condition of his front lawn.

Morgan and his friends head to a small Canadian island for some harmless deer hunting. All of a sudden one of the guys gets attacked by a swarm of giant wasps and when I write giant I mean GINORMOUS PLASTIC BUGS! Morgan hears his screams in the woods and discovers his friend swollen from the stings and covered in neon orange fake blood...soooo scary...

Morgan goes to find help at a near by farm but no one is home so it only makes sense to go snooping around inside the barn. But be careful Morgan because the barn is inhabited by ENORMOUS KILLER CHICKENS! (This bit was totally stolen from the 1970 Italian creature feature, La Cosa Nei Boschi.)

What has Morgan gotten himself into? Why didn't he just stay on the football field? And why is a professional football player wrestling with large chickens in the first place? Wait, sorry, there are too many questions that will never be answered.

Don't worry, Morgan escapes the killer chickens and finds the an elderly woman in the farm house. Introduce: Mrs. Skinner, who I nicknamed Country Suzy. Country Suzy is an old whack job religious freak that tells Morgan that God is the one who made the animals big. cuckoo cuckoo

Country Suzy shows off her husband's supply of gooey goo that he found bubbling in their back yard. Not to confuse that goo with their other supply of goo, God's goo is put into jars and labeled F.O.T.G. Country Suzy is BRILLIANT!
We soon find out that when Country Suzy feeds the animals God's goo it makes them huge and really pissed off.

The movie has everything a bad movie needs:
-A suicidal pregnant women.
-Rats that pop through windows like a game of Whack a Mole.
-A flat tire in a thunderstorm.
-A female bacteriologist (yes I said bacteriologist).
-Country Suzy dies fighting a rat with an axe.


Then the big crescendo of baddassness comes during the final fight scene. The rats have swarmed the house, the pregnant woman is about to explode with a baby and then the bacteriologist turns to Morgan and says, she wants to MAKE LOVE. (WHAT!!!!!!!!) And the best part is Morgan turns her down. This is way too awesome for words.

I would encourage you all to see this bad bad bad movie but during the rat fight scenes the rats really looked like they were getting injured. So I googled the movie and found out that during the making numerous animals were abused and killed. Rats were shot and drowned. This makes no sense because all because the effects were so ridiculously fake except for the animal torture scenes. Therefore I HATE this movie and you should too.

But first please read Final Girls review and send her some lovely feedback but seriously don't rent this movie because I don't want you to support animal torture like I unwittingly did.

An All New GHOSTELLA

Happy Labor Day! On this festive American holiday a new episode of GHOSTELLA has just been posted on AfterEllen. Today's show has an all star lesbian cast with Rita Mento, Jackie Jones, Karman Kregloe, Cat Davis, Candy Kerns, Courtney Jackson, Corpsela and me.

Ghostella, AKA the best online show EVER, makes me laugh, cry and piss myself! I don't piss myself because I'm scared I just drank too much coffee today.

WATCH AND ENJOY

Rita Mento made me tacos.

Rita was kind enough to come over today and make me a veggie taco plate that consisted of faux taco meat, lettuce, cheese, jalapenos and salsa.

I heart Rita.
I heart tacos.
I heart hearts.
