The above clip is a released scene from the new Alien Prequel “Prometheus.” Click here for previous posts and here for the trailer. In the clip, Guy Pearce who plays Peter Weyland discusses his vision of the future. The clip obviously sets up Weyland as the bad guy, but if you’re a fan of Alien [...]
President Obama Talks Values
President Obama talks to unions about the auto industry, and in his discussion, talks about what values really are. This is the president I voted for. I’m glad to see him back.
Democrats for Santorum
I found this video and had to share. Second City Network released a comedy sketch ad campaign urging Democrats to vote for Santorum in open primary states. While I think Obama would trounce Santorum if Santorum did somehow get the Republican presidential nomination, I still don’t know if what this video proposes is a good [...]
Oprah and the Oscars: Jimmy Kimmel Live
I’m a huge Jimmy Kimmel fan, and if you missed his after-the-Oscars show last night, chances are you missed these two funny bits. First up is Jimmy’s last sketch with Oprah. He is pitching some ideas for Oprah’s network, some of which I would definitely watch. I think a Book Club Fight Club and Dr. [...]
20 Years Ago: “Wayne’s World” #1 in Box Office
It’s hard to believe that 20 years ago, “Wayne’s World” hit the box office and became the #1 movie for its weekend release. That weekend alone, the movie grossed over $11 million. I just had to share the “Bohemian Rhapsody” scene, as it’s one of my favorites and a favorite of my college fraternity brothers [...]

Santorum: Obama is a “Phony” Christian
Just when I think Rick Santorum can’t possibly seem any more like scum and any less like a viable presidential candidate, he opens his mouth and spews even more vitriol and idiocy. According to ABC News, at a recent speaking engagement to a Tea Party group in Pennsylvania, Santorum had this to say about President [...]
Marriage Equality: Where Are We At?
There has been a lot of movement in marriage equality recently that I felt it best to wrangle all the information together in one post. We already know that marriage equality currently exists in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Iowa, and Washington D.C. Here’s where we stand in other states. Washington State Most [...]
The New Homeless: Gay Kids Put Out Like Trash
As a parent, I find it difficult to believe that any parent could toss their child out of their home for any reason. But, unfortunately, that is what is happening to many gay youths who come out to their parents. ThinkProgress reports that “There are approximately 1.6 million to 2.8 million homeless young people in the United States and [...]
Second Class Citizen: “I Want to Know What It’s Like”
The clip above is from Ryan James Yezak, a film maker in California. The clip is titled “I Want to Know What It’s Like” and it addresses the plight of those who are bullied and/or discriminated on because of prejudice. It’s a moving video, narrated by actors speaking in poetic verse. The purpose of the [...]
