Dylan McOMG

Published at February 3, 2008 in anti-logic, yum, product review, queer, tv, entertainment and movie. 3 Comments

200802031120Warning: This is a really gay fanboy post that ogles Dylan McDermott mercilessly like a delectable cut of Kobe Beef. He is the hottest man alive, and if you disagree with me, then you are wrong. And possibly a little reeree. Move along, nothing to see here.

The TiVo has an anti-screen burn feature: If you let it sit in any menu area for too long it will switch you over to live tv — whatever happens to be on that tuner. Sometimes I get sucked into crap I would never watch. Like Murder She Wrote. And today, its Yet Another Movie in which the dad moves his dysfunctional family out to the countryside, into a spooky creepy farmhouse being haunted by the previous and late occpuants that only the children can see. I really dislike movies in this vein not only for rehashed storylines, but because they tend to build and release tension with 50dB blasts.

I like a good horror movie, but these bore me and give me a headache, so I don’t watch them anymore. And I think hollywood knows this, and have discovered an effective counter: DILFs (Dads I’d Like To beFriend).

ryan reynoldsFirst it was Ryan Reynolds in The Amityville Horror. He’s a good deal younger than me and very much a one off hotness thing for me. The combination of superhero build, cuts all over his face, being angry all the time, and the Best Beard Ever allowed him to slip through my twinky filter.

dylan mcdermottDylan McDermott , on the other hand… well, I’ve always been a giggling fanboy for him. First in Steel Magnolias, crawling through that crying chick’s window in a pair of shorts with the hottest legs ever, later in Home for the Holidays (this is going to sound stupid) drinking orange juice from a bottle in a way that made my toes curl, (… everything he has ever been in…) and now in this dumb The Messengers movie.

I can’t look away, because I might miss Dylan (aka my next ex-husband) doing something that will make me feel funny in my dangerzone. Like opening a letter, tying his shoelace, using a styptic pencil, or doing his taxes. Damn you Hollywood.

PlanetOut Looking For Highest Bidder / Queerty

Published at January 15, 2008 in sad, death of old media, anti-logic, internets and queer. 0 Comments

PlanetOut’s still struggling! Despite selling RSVP Vacations and splitting its stocks, the gay publishing company - which brings us Out and The Advocate [and gay.com, hello], among others - simply can’t find the cash to stay afloat.

In an effort to keep from going under completely, the company’s reportedly looking for a sugar daddy: · (Read More)

I still own all my PlanetOut stock - I think it was about 500 shares or so that I bought when I left the company—now about 50 after their recent 10-1 reverse split. I’ve kept it because it’s the only time I received an actual stock certificate, and having one with a tricker of LGBT is a cool piece of queer interweb history.

One of the comments on the linked post said “OUT once spoke to all gay men, it now speaks to a small percentage who buy Gucci and other fashion brands that have nothing to do with an average or successful gay consumer.”

I beg to differ that Out ever spoke for all gay men. For a period of time time, those magazines had the benefit of being novel and unique against a landscape of other lifestyle mags, but that time has passed. The changing landscape of queer politics and lifestyle have fractured and commodotized into a thousand different groups. Just like there is no monolithic “black vote” supporting Obama, queers are more diverse than a single, static, unpersonalized sheaf of pages can speak to.

With the web, they have the ability to behaviorally target the specific and varied interests of the reader, providing advertising and content that is relevant to different demographics, rather than just Guccigays. Sadly, PNO (and by extension out and the advocate) did not invest in their technology infrastructure to flex into this new mode of content delivery. They rested on the laurels of the gay.com domain, assuming that would bring in the eyeballs, while their competition became nimble and microtargeted their audiences… and as such, PNO continues its tailspin.

I want to see them survive - partly because of the staggering number of once prestigious brands that could go down with it, partly for the cool people who still work there, and partly because I can see a cool future for them, but they’ll need a massive infusion of strategy and cash in order to do so.

[dupe/repost with a different slug, since i linked to my blog from queerty’s comments and broke the link. duh.]

kniwt: What you haven’t heard about the Colorado church shootings

Published at December 14, 2007 in sad, queer and save the children. 1 Comment

It’s looking like the young man who last Sunday shot and killed four congregants and then himself at Colorado’s New Life Church, Ted Haggard’s former home, was a cast out from their youth ministry, probably because he failed their attempts to make him “ex-gay”.

As noted by Richard Rothstein, Mathew Murray posted on his blog that he had written letters to his mother, complaining that the church had forgiven Haggard, but not him.

Last summer, he wrote, “People like us are going to go to hell, according to Christians.” He lists several reasons why. Reason number seven is bluntly stated, “I’m bisexual.” In other postings, Murray wrote, “… I can never get a female date. I am at least able to get some male action.”

And later, he wrote about confronting his mother about his bisexuality. (Read More)

Dumbledore’s magic wand

Published at October 19, 2007 in books, nifty, queer, save the children and funny. 0 Comments

As if the fundies didn’t have enough to worry about…

[T]he biggest revelation of the night came when Jo revealed to her audience the fact that Albus Dumbledore is gay and had fallen in love with fellow wizard and friend, Gellert Grindelwald. This elicited a huge reaction and prolonged ovation. So much so, it promoted Jo to say:

“If I had know this would have made you so happy, I would have told you years ago.”

She continued, explaining having to slip a note to the filmmakers during a script reading of the sixth film, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” when a small reference was made to a girl Dumbledore was once attracted to had made it into the script. Jo also said after revelation: “Just imagine the fan fiction now.” (Read More)
