I'M IN LOVE!

It's official, I've met the man of my dreams! Well, I haven't actually met him, but I've seen his face and heard his voice and stepped into his world with this melting music clip! And it doesn't get any better than this! Matt Alber is the most romantic soul on earth, but his emotional resonance is heightened with a clip of style and substance, kinda like Mad Men meets Rufus Wainwright. Imagine this: a barber shop, sideways glances, two men waltzing and a kiss to melt your heart! Now enjoy!

Meet my new buddy—Buddy!

Hi everyone, my name's Buddy! I'm 8-years-old and I've just been adopted by Geoff, three hours before I got the needle because some family got bored with me and didn't want me anymore. Since then I've had a haircut (I was in a pretty bad way) and now I have a great home, a warm bed to sleep on, and coffee every morning at my local cafe (not that I drink coffee, but Geoff does and Jackie who runs the cafe always has a treat for me!!) Me and Geoff are a match made in heaven! (Geoff took this photo of me in my new garden. He's gay and insisted on having flowers in the photo. LOL!) He just had to share!

World AIDS Day—1st December

Tie a Red Ribbon round the old oak tree, and pin one on everyone you know! Tomorrow is World AIDS Day and I'm SO excited that it's the first year I finally get a chance to sell some red ribbons on the street! I have my backpack ready with water and sunscreen and I can't wait! I hope it's an awesome day to raise lots of money!! Wish us all luck everyone!

Song of the Day - Kate Bush’s “Wuthering Heights”

This clip is known as the Red Dress version. There’s another one which I think is known as the White Dress version. Needless to say, they’re both VERY ethereal!

Adam Lambert's Kiss!

Well, I was going to post a video of the kiss and a bunch of sexy shots from the night on my blog, but I'm guessing (and hoping) that everyone's seen it by now, so I thought instead I'd post the classiest pic of Adam I could find, because I want to say I think he did something in his own style...and with style. The definition of style, of course, is arguable, but I define it as someone expressing themselves truly as they are without the intention of offending anyone. Sure, I think Adam wanted to get attention, but I honestly believe that we should be living in an age where two men kissing is no longer offensive. Unfortunately alot of pearl-clutchers out there think differently, and so Adam instantly got upgraded from rockstar to crusader. And I'm happy about that because I think he has what it takes. He's passionate about his sexuality and doesn't pretend to be anything he's not. PLUS he has the likes of Roland Emmerich asking him to record the title track for his movie 2012, which says to me that America wants his talent. The question is, can America accept Adam for who he is, not just his voice? I hope the answer is yes, because some people might learn a few things!

I think the real reason I'm posting this though is because one of the first criticisms to come out of this was from a female journalist who said Madonna and Brittany were allowed to kiss because they're famous, but if Adam wants to be a gay activist he has to become a true celebrity first. I'm sorry!!!!!! Since when do you have to become a celebrity to be a gay activist! Especially if you ARE gay (unlike Madonna and Brittany)! Anyone living a proud gay life is instantly a gay activist in my book—whether you live in Hollywood or on a farm!

With World AIDS Day coming up next week, the best we can do is be proud of who we are and support one another. I wish the rest of the world could be proud of us and support us too. Maybe someday. Until then, keep kissing, Adam!

Lost in Translation - THE SOUND OF MUSIC

Now just for the record, Mother Superior’s line is officially: “Maria, our Abbey is not to be used as an escape. What is it you can’t face?” But sometimes when you’re trying to get the words out quickly, well…



...and then there's this touching and pivotal exchange between Maria and the Mother Superior which I think ended up on the cutting room floor!

Song of the Day - Bjork's "Bachelorette"

I love this clip, it’s so 1920s German Expressionist, so dramatic and surreal! God bless Bjork. She lives by her own rules and nobody else’s—as some photographers and reporters have discovered. Such a temper, but such a talent!

Dissection of an Action Sequence

BEYOND MY CONTROL

I have to admit I’m not a fan of the dinosaur stampede scene in Peter Jackson’s KING KONG, it’s little more than a chase scene with too many dinosaurs, not a lot of reason behind it and no time for the audience to really take in what’s going on. However, the magnificent T-rex scene more than makes up for it.



In this scene, not only is it Kong’s first chance to prove his love for Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts), but Ann herself is forced to make a choice of survival: try her luck alone with the T-rex or put her trust in Kong (who at this point she considers the lesser of two evils) to protect her.

But the truly breath-taking moment in the sequence is the swinging vines. Along with the two T-rexes, Ann and Kong are entwined in the web of vines and swinging helplessly like pendulums while the snapping jaws of the dinosaurs swing closer and closer. This is pure cinematic tension at its best, because the fate of our heroes is completely beyond their control. It’s a case of inertia, and luck, and as an audience we have NO idea what will happen!
