definitely one of the gay literature classics. Plus Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin? Haven't read The City And The Pillar for years and I don't recall much, other than enjoying it. The only Vonnegut I have on my bookshelf is Deadeye Dick (1982). There are two Vonnegut quotes that I have remembered...

1985 was the year of two of my top movies of the 80's (Shoah and Come And See , Come And See is the most disturbing film I have ever seen. And I saw it on the big screen (2001). The scene where the two characters are walking - neck high - through the swamp is the stuff of my nightmares! My choice w...

After a long absence Tracey Thorn, one half of Everything But The Girl, has released a solo album, Out Of The Woods. Being a huge EBTG fan I am thrilled.

Another first: This could be the first time that a film with more than 1 nomination receives no other awards besides best picture (Babel). . But wouldn't the members of AMPAS think about that? That would be look rather ridiculous, right? But if they are seriously planning on voting for Babel then i...

I am wonderfing if Babel and Departed AND Little Miss Sunshine split the vote, will it go to The Queen? I am seriously thinking that this is the year that the vote splitting theory may actually come into play. And I also believe that The Queen could be the most likely beneficiary. Having seen all f...

Main and 14th. I was so disappointed when The Ridge theatre changed from a second-run double-bill theatre to over-priced first-run. Last year for me was the result - I went to see about three movies before Oscar season eventually began! I cannot always get to movies when they first come out and I r...
