An audience member, not to mention a critic, needs to be on their best behavior when Sir Peter Hall is sitting directly behind them during the opening of his latest production. The renowned theatre, opera and film director doesn’t miss a trick, and he has put his full artistic arsenal to work to create a glorious re-staging of Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute).LA Opera and Hall collaborated on p

Allow me to cut to the chase: Milk (from Focus Features, opening in Los Angeles and New York City on November 26) is excellent, and timely.

The final eight, politically charged years in the life of our nation’s first openly gay elected of

It’s every gay critic’s fantasy: a handsome actor-producer delivers his latest film to your doorstep.

Rep Nadler (D-NY), the liberal congressman from the upper west side of Manhattan, explains to a group of deeply concerned Jews at a Boca Raton Synagogue why Obama stayed in Reverend Wrights' church for 20 years; "mostly because Obama lacked the political courage to leave."

It is a remarkable character who can continue to command audience attention after 45 years, 22 films and six actors in the role. James Bond, Ian Fleming’s British secret agent with a license to kill, is that character.What gay man among us hasn’t lusted after 007 as personified by Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan or the current Bond, yummy Daniel Craig, whose latest adventure, Quantum of Solace, o

On the heels of Breakfast with Scot comes another film that deals with LGBT families, Tru Loved (rolling out nationally over the next month starting this Friday).

In recognition of National Coming Out Day today, this is the conclusion of Chris' three-part series of influential films that helped him in his coming out.In 1997, a film featuring a gay man’s struggle to come out as its main plotline was released and quickly became one of my favorites.

It is most appropriate that the horror-comedy Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer is opening in Los Angeles and other cities a day after media reports that a carcass of the long-elusive Bigfoot has been found.

(Chicago, IL) The Reverend Jeremiah Wright has had a long career of bringing people to Jesus Christ. Now he’s embarking upon a second career, as an author who will push people away from Barack Obama. “Praise be to the black America damning God, I wrote a book!” said Wright, during a press conference where he announced the singing of 3-book deal with Random House.
OneMom has a post on her blog titled, “Is Huckabee Right About Right?” and it got me thinking about an unconsidered and probably a little far fetched theory about Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s outrageous behavior and comments during his recent media tour.
Up until then, Senator Obama was willing to distance himself from a few of the [...]
Black Liberation Theology Does NotRepresent The Black American ChurchNor Does Rev.Wright Represent ChristianityMychal Massie, chairman of Project 21, a conservative black think tank, said he finds Wright's remarks about the black church "vulgar.""There is no black church," Massie told Cybercast News Service . "There is no white church. There's only the Christian church. And if it's not (a Christian church), it's an abomination to God."Massie, who holds theological degrees, said he bases his opinion on the Bible, specifically Acts 34-35: "Then Peter opened his mouth and said, 'Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons. But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.""I defy him to do a study of the word of God and produce anything th

Barack Obama was finally compelled by the course of events created by the Reverend Wright’s performance at the National Press Club to speak out against a man with whom he had felt a genuine kinship. He termed Wright’s comments as “appalling” and a “distractor” to the American scene which requires those of all backgrounds to [...]
I wrote a small piece earlier about the recent firestorm over Jeremiah Wright, but the more I kept thinking about the situation I had more questions. What has exactly changed about Reverend Wright that Obama now feels the need to disown him? Nothing has changed about Wright. He is the same person as before. He has made the SAME EXACT COMMENTS, and why does Obama need to disown him now. I suppose it's because he thought his speech on race was going to just end the contreversy then. Well Wright will stay in the media again, and who knows if this would even hurt Obama, but we need to start holding Obama to a higher standard. His arguement that he makes a superior candidate is because of his judgment, but he is starting to look just like McBush(McCain), and Clinton. Now that Obama is ba
Barack Obama has quite rightly distanced himself from the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., who has some flaky ideas indeed. Whatever else one may think the American government has done or not done, only a moron could think that it might have brought AIDS to black neighbourhoods and that it has conducted terrorism. Obama said of Wright, "I may not know him as well as I thought". That is true of many friendships and relationships.Some are saying that this may be a pivotal moment in Obama's campaign. I can't think why. Just because an ageing pastor comes up with some odd-ball comments, it does not mean anyone remotely associated with him thinks the same. If that was the case, we could all catch this thought disease and end up thinking all kinds of stuff.
If only we were so lucky to see that title fight (my money would be on Wright). At least we get to see them battle it out in words for free through the media.
Apparently Obama is uber pissed at...

I haven’t really understood all the attention that the Reverend Wright issue is getting and have largely ignored it. Then I watched some recent coverage by FOX and MSNBC on Reverend Wright’s speech at the National Press Club event.

Reverend Jeremiah Wright for years regarded Barack Obama as a son whose future was of importance, but today, the good reverend is marching defiantly into the glare of the sun of fame and there is no turning back for the eloquent voice of self adulation.

From the moment he entered the room, Wright seemed to be looking to stir controversy; he was escorted by Jamil Muhammad, a leader of the Nation of Islam, which contributed to the minister's prominent security detail.
From Inhotep.no [excerpts]: For those unfamiliar, describe the history of the Church Of Satan and how and when it did form? "The Church Of Satan was formed in 1966 by Anton Szandor LaVey on the 30th Of April, the date that has become known as Walpurgisnacht. It stands in any direct opposition to any and all spiritual doctrines. The word Satan by itself, when translated from the original Hebrew, means the adversary. That's exactly what we are. We are the adversary to any and all spiritual religions." Please describe what the definition of a "true" Satanist is compared to the stereotypical devil worshiper, what are the Church's main philosophies? "The Church Of Satan believes you need to embrace this life as the only life there is because once you are dead, you're dead.
Reporters, pundits, bloggers, and other people of ill-repute scrambled madly today to find new ways to discredit Reverend Jeremiah Wright."The best we've been able to come up with so far is a headline stating that an attack on Reverend Wright is an attack on the black church," sighed an anonymous Associated Press reporter. "I know it's weak, but we're working on it.""This is insane. We can't have an opinionated black man running around saying whatever is on his mind. This country is built upon saying whatever is expedient in order to get elected. This guy doesn't care if he's elected to anything. It's one of the most disgusting, self-serving displays of First Amendment abuse I've ever seen," said a well-known Fox News pundit who wished not to be identified."I know how to do it. I'm

On October 3, 1995, OJ Simpson was acquitted of murder. His guilt had seemed so obvious, to some. The verdict shocked and angered scores of millions of Americans.
In the minds of millions of Americans, Judge Lance Ito had presided over a miscarriage of justice that allowed a brutal killer to escape punishment for heinous crimes.
I have generally avoided the Reverend Wright discussion, because I find it incredibly biased, ridiculously political, and absurdly naive. Mostly the conversation is about a black reverend for DARING to imply that America might share responsibility for 9/11, or that blacks in America might still be a little pissed about inequality. I feel bad for Barack that he had to distance himself from a man of incredible intelligence and character.For those that are interested, Rev. Wright took the opportunity to provide an interview with Bill Moyers. You can see a bit of his history as a patriot, a bit about the ministry, and hear him speak about what it means to be a black spiritual leader on the south side of Chicago. I recommend it.
In his interview with Bill Moyers, Pastor Jeremiah Wright blasted the media for failing to provide context to his much-condemned remarks.On today's show I played great portions of his sermons from April 13, 2004 and...

After taking a sabbatical it's good to hear that Rev. Jeremiah Wright is at the pulpit again bringing the masses together to stick it to the man. This story that was first reported on the Chicago Sun Times, and apparently reporters had to sneak into a funeral service. The media was asked to not attend this service, and I think it was wrong for journalists to watch this sermon for the sole purpose of creating new controversy. The Reverend made some remarks that weren't too kind to some Fox News personalities. Rev. Wright had this to say about Fox News. FOX News can't understand that. O'Reilly will never get that. Sean Hannity's stupid fantasy will keep him forever stuck on stupid when it comes to comprehending how you can love a brother who does not believe what you believe." I think it's a

by John Scott (Cape Times) He now has an obligation to live as a man of the cloth, and put aside all that behaviour that got him involved in court cases of an unsavoury kind. We could have a very good reformed sinner sitting in Tuynhuys, dispensing words of Biblical wisdom. The only former government head to be a churchman was Dr D F Malan, the first prime minister when the National Party came to power in 1948. The difference is that Malan studied for many years to be a dominee, whereas Zuma became a minister of the independent charismatic churches overnight, without having to study the Ten Commandments, and that sort of stuff. So long as he now remembers that adultery is a non-no, and that he shouldn't covet his neighbour's house, and especially his neighbour's wife and his neighbo

The Rt Rev Joseph Devine of Scotland, one of Scotland's most senior Catholics, apparently took several swigs of whiskey and started publicly lashing out at gays and Gandalf himself, Ian McKellen!Devine claims that there is a "gay lobby" in Scotland orchestrating a conspiracy against Christian values.

In my last sermon, we began investigating the issue of biblical inerrancy. Before we go on to the next subject and evaluate God's apparant mental illness, let me add just one more point of interest to that subject.Do you think God wants all of us to go to heaven? I have a hard time with this issue as it relates to the fundamental Christian’s inerrant bible—there seems to be more than one answer.2 Peter 3:9 states: “The Lord is ... not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”But then you have the statement in 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 “God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned. “Yeah, yeah…I can hear the chorus now: “You’re taking all of this out of context and twisting it around. Really? But you’re the one who says the bible is inerrant…the absolutely accurate, word-for-word portrayal of the history of God and his people. So which is it? Does God want all of us to go to heaven
Earlier this year, filmmaker James Cameron announced that the tomb of Jesus Christ had been found. He further claimed it proved Jesus had taken Mary Magdeline as his wife and that, together, they’d borne a son. He even had DNA evidence to back up his claims!I watched that documentary with great interest—hoping against hope that it might be true and that the abusive, fundamental portion of the Christian religion might finally begin to crash into reality. I was badly disappointed. Independent of the refutation of Christian pundits which was hastily pushed into the next time-slot as follow up, there was little in the documentary to convince most humans of average intelligence of the scientific validity of any of the findings presented.Fundamentals –1 / Thinkers – 0What’s that?? You take umbrage with my allusion that Fundamentalists aren’t Thinkers?Think again, Friend.And that brings me nicely to my first point:Fundamental Christians, dear souls that many of them may be, have b
