apologies
I know there is a bunch of news about a remake of the movie 'Carrie' to be directed by Kimberly Peirce, but I have been unable to update the site for a while.
I'm going back to school now and I lost my computer when I spilled a drink all over it. And getting sick over the holidays sucked too.
but things are looking up now, and i have a new computer. So hopefully some updates soon!

I almost forgot my login info for Blogger.
I have two new items to update with. The first has details of an upcoming event in Chicago where Boys Don't Cry will be screened:

mockumentary
I've done a bad job of updating this site over the past month. But I did notice something recently that related to my last post back in March. It was about that web series, a mockumentary about the making of a musical of Boys Don't Cry. This article from The advocate says that the web series recently won some awards in los angeles. Maybe it is just me, but I still think this is an odd subject for a comedy.
I was glad to come across this article for two reasons. First because it means I am not the only one that thinks this isn't so funny. And two, because one of the commenter's mentions my site.

Thank You...Next
Huh? I'm not really sure what to think of this, so I'll just copy and paste what the article says:
"THANK YOU...NEXT" is a mockumentary web series that follows a disconcerting creative team as they attempt to cast a musical version of the 1999 film Boys Don't Cry.

interesting
A bit off topic, but kind of interesting.
Electronic Arts defends use of Jim Brown, Sam Keller images in Madden NFL
“If affirmed, the district court’s interpretation of the test would have perverse results. As applied by the district court, the test arguably would not protect any expressive work that uses a person’s actual name or realistic likeness, including films like ‘Forest Gump,’ ‘The Aviator,’ and ‘Boys Don’t Cry.’”
