It’s nice to know that I’m reading award winning books. The Lambda Literary Awards were annouced this week and a few books that I’ve read over the past year made the winner’s list.
Best LGBT Children’s/Young Adult: Hero by Perry Moore
Best Bisexual: Split Screen by Brent Hartinger
Best Men’s Romance: Changing Tides by Michael Thomas Ford
Also, Ann [...]
Bob Fosse made a movie all about himself with 1979’s All That Jazz. Roy Scheider played director/choreographer/writer Joe Gideon. The parallels to Fosse’s live are unmistakable. Fosse had a heart attack while working on his 1973 film Lenny, which is portrayed here. The stage show Fosse worked on in the same time frame was Chicago, [...]
Reading Towleroad during lunch, I came across this ad that Macy’s ran in the L.A. Times today.
It made me warm and fuzzy to see a huge retailer like Macy’s step up with this kind of ad (you can click on it to see a larger version that is a bit easier to read).
From what I’ve [...]
Tickets for this fall’s staging of Equus starring Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths (he plays Harry’s uncle in the films) went on sale recently. I’m stunned at the top ticket price of $116.50. Even the cost to sit in the top/back of theatre is $61.50.
I realize this is a limited run (September through [...]
I had no idea the Red Wings/Penguins series would be such a blow out. The Penguins are down by two games, which I did expect because stats show the Red Wings usually win at home. What’s surprsing is that both games were shutouts: 4-0 on Saturday and 3-0 tonight. The series moves to Pittsburgh on Wednesday and Saturday [...]
A thrilling afternoon at the movies as May Movie Mania continued with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I admit, even with cool trailers and some decent advance buzz, I was leery of this movie. Neither George Lucas or Steven Spielberg have the best track records for summer movies over the past [...]
The Detroit Red Wings opened the Stanley Cup Championships at home last night against the Pittsburgh Penguins. It was a great game as the Red Wings took the series lead 1-0 with a 4-0 victory. It should’ve been 5-0, but the Red Wings had one goal disallowed because of supposed goalie interference. It was a [...]
Back in February I read Blood Prince, the first of Tanya Huff’s Blood Books series featuring private investigator Vicki Nelson and her vampire partner Henry Fitzroy. I liked that book a lot. Well, I just finished the second book, Blood Trail, and I like that one even more.
This time out Henry asks Vicki to help [...]
With the finals of the Stanley Cup Playoffs starting up tomorrow and my two favorite teams battling it out for the championship title, this week is the perfect time to roll out my favorite hockey film of all time, Miracle. The movie, released by Disney in 2004, looks at the 1980 USA Olympic Hockey Team, [...]
Could there possibly be anyone more fierce than Morgan Fairchild? I just watched The Seduction (1982) which made me think of Paper Dolls, her super glitzy short-lived soap from the same era. I taped all the episodes when they aired on SoapNet a few years ago. It has to be one of the most guilty of [...]
