Psychotic Annoyance TV
Cindy and Heather and Katie are all pregnant! Their lives are a mess! If Katie “wins” she can really use the prize money; that’s why she got pregnant. Which one should get the abortion? You decide! VOTE NOW!!!
How’s that for Concept TV? Gosh, you think they’re doing it just to piss EVERYONE off?
Turning abortion into an online game show
By Kathleen Parker
Sunday, January 31, 2010At first glance, bump-the-show sounds like a reasonable response to “Bump,” the show—a new, faux-reality Web-based docudrama featuring actors trying to decide whether to have an abortion.
Think Jerry Springer meets Oprah meets “American Idol” meets Dr. Oz meets . . . America’s conscience. For the decision to abort or not to abort is up to you, dear audience.
Has the shark just jumped the shark?
The idea for the “show,” which launches Monday, was inspired, of all things, by Barack Obama’s commencement address at Notre Dame University last year. When the president said he wanted “to find ways to communicate about a workable solution to the problem of unintended pregnancies,” executive producer Dominic Iocco conceived “Bump.”
He and co-executive producer Christopher Riley want to see whether stories can succeed where four decades of rhetoric and politics have failed. They fashioned their experiment in a way that would be most appealing to the wired, reality-show generation.
I’d make some remark about Hollywood scraping the bottom of the barrel, but that would be rather trite. But, O.M.G!! Is this where the edge of the “annoyance art” universe is? Is this just soooooooo trendy as to be outside the comprehension of anyone over 22 who doesn’t live in LA? Or is this actual entertainment for a generation of soulless zombies, for whom human life is utterly meaningless, and this is actually a sitcom to them? This seems just half a step away from Running Man, or throwing Christians to the lions. Only half a step.
Ok, maybe two steps, since the “actresses” aren’t actually pregnant. But the concept is chilling. YOU are Caeser. Thumb up, or thumb down? Harden the populace to other’s suffering. No compassion, just death. Load up the Carousel as fast as you can. And give Obama the credit! Death Panels, indeed.
Or is the concept actually valid? Break the taboo, get it all out in the open, force the discussion. Do we need to do that? Seems to me for 37 years we’ve had very vocal opponents on both edges, while the vast majority dwelt somewhere in the middle, realizing that this was a maximum private personal issue, and just kept their mouths shut. But maybe we need to drag it out once again, and get everybody all worked up. Everybody. Because, you know, we’ve solved all the other problems in life and politics, and we need some kind of distraction. Things are just too boring these days.

Avatar hit by accusations of racism. Some folks just have to see race in everything.
The guy who made Avatar is a liberal for gosh sake. Seems like even a sci-fi pitcher-show is now seen by some in terms of race.
Can’t they just watch and enjoy (or if not leave the theater) without seeing the dreaded ‘R’ word? Guess not. It’s a movie. It’s fantasy. It’s make believe. But some just have to sniff around till they find the evidence they have planted in their heads.
James Cameron’s $1 billion sci-fi epic Avatar has been hit by accusations of racism.
By Anita Singh, Showbusiness Editor
TelegraphCritics claims the story of a white US Marine who saves an alien race perpetuates the “white Messiah fable” and suggests that non-whites are primitives incapable of helping themselves.
Hundreds of blogs, YouTube videos and Twitter postings have sprung up on the subject since the film’s release three weeks ago, with one writer dubbing the 3-D extravaganza “a racial fantasy par excellence”.
Avatar is set on a distant planet populated by the Na’vi, an eco-conscious, blue-skinned alien tribe with no understanding of modern technology. A disabled Marine, played by the Australian actor Sam Worthington, is sent to infiltrate the tribe but soon “goes native” and leads them in a defence of their homeland against the white invaders.
He also falls in love with an alien woman, who rejects a Na’vi suitor and becomes his wife. The main Na’vi characters are played by black actors, including Zoe Saldana and Laz Alonso.
David Brooks, a columnist writing in the New York Times, said: “Avatar is a racial fantasy par excellence ... It rests on the stereotype that white people are rationalist and technocratic while colonial victims are spiritual and athletic. It rests on the assumption that non-whites need the White Messiah to lead their crusades. It rests on the assumption that illiteracy is the path to grace.
“It also creates a sort of two-edged cultural imperialism. Natives can either have their history shaped by cruel imperialists or benevolent ones, but either way, they are going to be supporting actors in our journey to self-admiration.”
The ruthless treatment of the Na’vi has been interpreted as a metaphor for the plight of American Indians. Brooks said Avatar followed a long tradition of “white Messiah” movies which began in the 1970s with A Man Called Horse, starring Richard Harris as an English aristocrat who is captured by a Sioux Indian tribe and becomes their leader, and which includes Kevin Costner’s Dances With Wolves and the Tom Cruise film, The Last Samurai.
Robinne Lee, a black actress who appeared opposite Will Smith in the film Seven Pounds, is also among Avatar’s detractors.
Likening the film to Pocahontas – “the Indian woman leads the white man into the wilderness, and he learns the way of the people and becomes the saviour” – she said: “It’s really upsetting in many ways. It would be nice if we could save ourselves.”
Annalee Newitz, editor-in-chief of io9.com, a sci-fi website, said: “The main white characters realise that they are complicit in a system which is destroying aliens, aka people of colour ... then go beyond assimilation and become leaders of the people they once oppressed. When will whites stop making these movies and start thinking about race in a new way?” Cameron strongly denied any racist intent. He said that his film “asks us to open our eyes and truly see others, respecting them even though they are different, in the hope that we may find a way to prevent conflict and live more harmoniously on this world. I hardly think that is a racist message.”
The controversy has done little to dent Avatar’s remarkable run at the box office. It took just 17 days to pass $1 billion in ticket sales – a new record – and to become the second highest grossing film of all time behind Titanic, also

Film School
I just finished watching Tom Horn, Steve McQueen’s 1980 eulogy to westerns, and perhaps to himself. He died from mesothelioma just a short time after the film was completed. At first, this seemed to be a confused film, especially with the dream sequences/flashbacks Tom Horn has while in jail. They were totally unexpected. But I quickly adapted. McQueen’s Tom Horn is a rough man mostly by necessity, a man past his time, a survivor of the “raggedy-assed Old West” who finds himself a fish out of water in the duplicitous early 20th century, but still tries to do what he knows best, which is hunting down the bad guys and outgunning them. But he embodies The Cowboy Code to the letter without even trying. I doubt if Horn has 200 words of dialog in the whole film, not even speaking up in his own defense at his rigged murder trial, stoically knowing that the verdict is going to be whatever those in power want it to be. And in homage to that same Code, this little gem of a film is a distillate; it’s everything a cowboy movie should be, boiled down to the leather hard essentials, but with a realistic worldview that eclipses the standard moral tale. Which may be the ultimate moral tale anyway: do your best, but things are going to happen anyway. Linda Evans puts in an appearance as the school marm romance interest, looking nice but more than a bit weathered; another layer of realism on the old genre. And what would any western be without Slim Pickens? He’s in there as the Sherrif, not aww-shucks-ing it up for once, just a decent man trying to do a decent job but out of his depth in the new world order. It’s a shame Gabby Hays wasn’t still alive to find a niche roll in here too, but frankly it would have been little more than a cameo. There is no comic relief in this one. McQueen was always best as the anti-hero, and those types are best showcased against a dark backdrop.
I got the DVD from my friend Doc, who either loves the film because he owns the same kind of rifle, or bought the same kind of rifle because he loves the film. No matter. The big 1876 Winchester in .45-60 is just as huge in real life as it is in Horn’s hands. Big Medicine, and in Horn’s hands it drops rustlers and their horses with aplomb. And scares the daylights out of the townsfolk. Heck, all the guns shown and talked about are right for the period, from the black powder arms to the top-break S&W/H&R to the big old Colt Walker to the Krags the National Guard carries to the never seen “German automatic” that one of the lawmen alludes to having [ie a broomhandle Mauser]. Blew my mind, remembering that Once Upon A Time Hollywood knew how to do that right. They even need reloading after 5 or 6 shots, and the pistoleros can’t hit for shit past 35 yards. A miracle.
I haven’t seen a real western in ages. No, that latter day bang-bang crap like “The Quick and the Dead” doesn’t count. In today’s era of zillion dollar CGI and PC subtexts, watching this one was a step back in time to a simple score, a simple and natural mise-en-scene, and a small cast telling a simple story that turned out to have a deep and complex message.
This film pretty much bombed in theaters, since westerns were tired out back then, but it’s worth renting. You get to see McQueen at his effortless best, filling out a role and not trying to be Steve McQueen for once. But you know the man is dying. You can see it in his face and the way he moves. But just like Horn, he soldiers on because it’s all that he knows how to do, accepting the future without quite knowing what’s going on or how he got there. You might have to rent a few John Ford and a couple Clint Eastwood westerns ahead of time to refresh yourself with the genre, so that you’ll recognize the 90 minutes of art that this one is.

Things I don’t do
Top Ten Lists
Nope, not me. Ignoring that such lists have become permanently defiled thanks to Dave Letterman, it’s just not my thing. But it seems to be a New Year’s Eve, End of a Decade thing. So here’s an entertaining list of entertaining films: Nile Gardner’s Top 10 Conservative Movies of the Decade.
Yeah yeah, another bloody boring list. Why bother? Bother, because while the films listed are all fairly apt - he missed The Incredibles but nobody’s perfect - the reader comments are more important than his list. The usual trolls march in and then pee on the carpet ... and reader Spud shows us once and for all that leftists have NO IDEA AT ALL what an actual Conservative worldview is. Watch the troll get eaten alive and come back for more. I’m waiting for him to bite on the latest comment, which suggests that the uber-greenie Avatar is actually right wing blood porn.

More vampires and werewolves?
I don’t do this very often. But today, after I got back from taking mom (and her wheelchair and oxygen tank) Christmas shopping I decided to relax and find out what’s playing at the movies. Since I don’t watch TV I’m usually very uninformed about what’s new at the theaters, so I started surfing the movie trailer websites.
I came across New Moon which is apparently the second in a series that started out with vampires. New Moon introduces shapeshifters, ie: werewolves. It was released November 20th.
Sarah Palin makes a cameo appearance. I just may have to see this one.

What Brigadoon taught me
One of my favorite movies of all time is Brigadoon. Starring Gene Kelly, Van Johnson, and Cyd Charisse.
My earliest memory of seeing it was when I was seven or eight. I remembered the magical village that would vanish in the mist. I had dim memories of the catchy tunes.
Later I tracked down those dim memories. Not so dim now. Here’s what I learned from Brigadoon:
About courting:
Jean Campbell: “Father, how did you feel when Mother agreed to marry you?”
Andrew Campbell: “I dinnae propose to her, she proposed to me.”
Jean Campbell: “But dinnae make you happy?”
Andrew Campbell: “Aye, her good judgement pleased me highly.”
I learned to let the woman propose. That way she shows good judgement, and I don’t get turned down!
Then there’s this scene:
This begs the question of who’s wife haven’t you left alone?Hello to married men I’ve known; I’ll soon have a wife an’ leave yours alone.
If I’m ever a lost American hunter in the Highlands I’ve learned:
Highland Scots are very good at soft-shoe.
Make sure your hunting boots are suitable for tap dancing.
Oh yeah, there was that other movie… An American Werewolf in something or other. Watch out for wolves.

The $5K Prequel
Talk about your indie productions meeting extreme fanfic! This bunch of folks put together a 40 minute film that fleshes out a completely missing part of old J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic tale.
Called The Hunt For Gollum, a film made by fans for fans, that’s exactly what it’s about. It looks, sounds, and possibly even tastes like it was done by Peter Jackson, but it wasn’t. It tells a bit of the story that was only alluded to in the main text, and only slightly touched on in JRR’s appendices. Nicely done! And they did it all for only $5000.
They’ve had a number of public screenings if this film, even managing to wrangle being selected as an Official Selection by Icon, Israel’s International Sci-Fi Festival. It’s also a bit of a gray area whether they have any legal rights to tell the tale. Um, legal rights to tell the tale of a tale that wasn’t really written. So, to get around that, they aren’t selling any tickets. It’s all for free. For the fans. And it’s all on the internet. Cool. About 10,000 people a day watch it, either at the homepage or out at YouTube etc.
Here’s the link. Go ahead and spend the time to watch. I think you’ll find it ... Precious.
By doing a superb job of bringing LOTR to the screen, Peter Jackson opened a big can of worms. While he told most of the story in about 12 hours worth of film, there are still numerous parts of the tale still untold. And with today’s technology, the rabid fan base is out there filling in the cracks. Good for them.
Personally, I want a believable film that explains Tom Bombadil. I’ve read every thing J.R.R. wrote, even the Silmarillion, many times, and I could never quite pin down who or what he is. Some kind of a godling I think, one of those watcher spirits, but of a higher order than the wizards. But not higher in the way that he was portrayed in Bored of the Rings all those years ago, although that would add some fun to the mix!
Hard core LOTR junkies have not only seen The Hunt For Gollum a dozen times already, they’re fully aware that yet another online indie effort is in the wings. Called Born of Hope, it tells yet another unwritten Tolkien backstory, about what happened to the generations of the Dúnedain after the fall of Arnor, their ancient kingdom in the North, until the final Coming Of The King in LOTR. This one will debut in another 2 months. You can watch the trailers for it and stuff here.

Letterman
Yeah yeah yeah, David Letterman was blackmailed by the producer of the news show 48 Hours. And they caught the guy. It’s all over the news, yadda yadda. But by “coming clean”:
As part of the testimony, Letterman admitted that he had engaged in sexual relationships with staff members.
“My response to that is, yes I have.
hasn’t Dirty Dave just admitted that he’s guilty of multiple counts of sexual harassment? I mean, aside from the marital infidelity? He’s the boss. And he’s screwing his staff members. Tell me this isn’t an open and shut case worth millions? And about the same amount when his wife now divorces him? Am I the only person in America to have this thought? Because the story is everywhere today, and not a single news source or blog that I’ve seen has asked this question.

Hollywood Loonies
Paula Abdul decided this was the year she wanted an answer — straight up, in the words of one of her biggest pop hits.
As the eighth season of “American Idol” began to draw to a close last spring, Ms. Abdul’s representatives told Fox Broadcasting and two companies that produce the popular series, FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment, that she wanted a significant raise from the $2 million in salary plus another $1.5million in expenses and other benefits that she was then earning a year as a judge on the show.
What she deserved, her representatives said, was a package that would put her closer to parity, if not on par, with Simon Cowell, who earns an estimated $30 million annually from “American Idol.”
In the end she got an offer of close to $5 million a year, far below what Ryan Seacrest, the show’s host, got last month when he signed a contract with 19 Entertainment for $10 million a year in salary and another $15 million over three years for other production deals and rights to his image.
Feeling unappreciated, Ms. Abdul said on Tuesday that she would rather walk away from the biggest stage on television after eight years. Shortly after telling the “Idol” producers that she could not accept their offer, and with auditions of potential contestants for the ninth season scheduled to begin this weekend, Ms. Abdul told the world via Twitter that she was leaving “American Idol.”
A person close to negotiations tells The Times that the producers had offered Abdul, 47, a 30 percent raise and a total multi-year deal worth more than $10 million.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Abdul asked for about $20 million to continue with the show.
She “felt unappreciated” in recent months, The Times reports. Ryan Seacrest had inked a three-year $45 million deal, and Simon Cowell, who has suggested he may leave at the end of his current deal, is already in talks to sign a deal for a reported $100 million a year.
Holy shiite. Ok, on the one hand I can understand her thinking on this. The host and the other judges earn far more than she does, and there is obviously a huge pile of money to spread around. But on the other hand, $3.5 million a year to sit on your ass for a few hours a week and mouth cotton-fluffball encouraging inanities? I’d do that ... let’s see, call it 10 hours a week max ... give myself a nice fat raise ... I’d do that for $25,000. And so would you (assuming that the stage was near your home), and so would 99.997% of the entire population of the planet. $50/hr to do nothing is damn great money. You give me her job, at her current wages and benefits level, for ONE YEAR and I’d be set for life. FOR LIFE. Ok, let’s make it 2 years, what with Obama’s tax plan and all. But still.
Hollywood is insane. They’re even more insane than the ‘roided up performing monkeys of professional sports.

Michael Jackson also dead today
About an hour ago, Michael Jackson died. At first the gossip sites said it was cardiac arrest, but now the hospital and his mother have released a statement.
I really liked his early musical career, but his personal life and his plastic surgery really turned me off.
This was a rumor at first, but it has now been confirmed.

Missed it, miss him
Yesterday, June 11th, was the 30th anniversary of the death of John Wayne.
Talk about a clear moral vision.
Kim DuToit never put a start date on his Pussification essay, but if he had it would coincide closely with this date. Or perhaps it started a few years before that, when Mr. Wayne and his film genre were losing their popularity.
Mary Kendall, over at Big Hollywood, has more:
“When people saw (Duke) on the screen” in movies like The Longest Day, about the Normandy Invasion, Lyles said, “they always wanted to be on his side because they knew that under (his) leadership… they were going to be on the winning team. He was Americana.” Like Reagan, “he made us all proud to be Americans.”

Who said life is fair?
Not much going on that I want to post about today. So this is a steal from the gossip pages, but I added the fashion info.
Actress Heather Graham attends the Dublin premier of her new film The Hangover. Hey, they sent her on a round-the-world publicity junket. I wonder why? 
Now, how’s that for a new take on the classic little black dress? No, she wasn’t attacked by Edward Scissorhands, or a flock of eagles. It was made that way. It’s fashion. Actually, it’s a series of fake “suntan inserts”, probably custom matched to her exact skin tone, so it only looks like she forgot all her undies, again*. A mere $1900 from the new spring collection by Herve Leger. the shoes could be from Cloe, about $500. The clutch? Damned if I know. The result? Priceless.
Ms. Graham is 5’ 8” tall and is 39 1/2 years old. No tattoos, no Botox, no implants, no extensions. And the blond is natural, mostly. Thank you, God.
