All the World Loves a Lover

it should come as no surprise to anybody that this is the same guy that directed the wacky, newly Criterion Collectioned 'HOUSE' (trailer at bottom of post).

Sleep With Barbara Billingsley, Tom Bosley

Wow, it's like somebody put a damn dirty gypsy DEATH CURSE on the network stars of yesteryear. All of the headlines are mentioning Happy Days, which i personally could NEVER stand. I remember when i was little and lived in nebraska and we had an old tv with no remote and no cable, we watched what was on in syndication. Happy Days was always fucking on. it sucked ass, and me and my little brother fucking hated it. Ron Howard would, of course, go on to make maddeningly middle-of-the-road movies of a similar nature.

Tom Bosley would go on to the glorious FATHER DOWLING MYSTERIES, which i, for some reason, could not get enough of. what a shitty show to fixate on- but like i said, we only had a couple of channels. The only reasons i can think of for liking it so much was my bizarre desire to be Catholic instead of Lutheran (in retrospect, i'm glad that didn't work out, no offense to Catholics) and the fact that Father Dowling had an EVIL TWIN named BLAINE?! so i guess it combined two of my childhood fixations: Catholics, and evil twins.

anyway, yeah. It seems like the Battle of the Network Stars has taken a DEADLY TURN! You best watch your ass, Jean Stapleton!

Sleep With the Angels, Barbara Billingsley

She was fierce in Airplane!. Word.

this is awesome.

nobody EVER comments on anything i write about courtney love or hole, but even if you DON'T like her, this animated short is pretty wonderful and smart and funny. it's only six minutes, you'll enjoy yourself i think. press play.

Riberace!

So the Liberace Museum in Las Vegas is closing on October 17th, and since i won't be able to go, i forced Rob to go on my behalf. He complied, as indicated by the image above. More pictures to follow!

I'm SAD that the Liberace Museum is closing it's doors... it seems like one of those places that SHOULD exist, whether you enjoy Mr. Showmanship or not. And COME ON, this is like GAY GROUND ZERO (along with Stonewall). We're talking about the QUEEN OF ALL QUEENS! It just seems wrong.

there IS a silver, gem bedazzled lining, though- They're taking the show on the road! I've been telling myself that this might be better in a way, because this way ALL the gays of the US will have a fighting chance to see all this shit, rather than just the tacky ones who actually go to vegas (*coughROBcough*).

Corey Feldman Lacks Self-Awareness

BUT i will say that he was in Stand By Me, AND Gremlins AND The Lost Boys AND Goonies, so he's golden until the day he dies. Also, at least it's obvious he writes his own songs, which is more than you can say for a lot of A-list stars that get writing credits (talking to you, Beyoncé).
