• Brett Ratner Defends Rush Hour 3 with Story of His First Gay Blow-Job?

  Published: August 3, 2007, 4:04 pm

  Tags: New Line, Comedy, Action Adventure, Gossip Controversy, Sequels Remakes, Brett Ratner, Chris Tucker, Rush Hour 3

  Apparently there is a scene in Rush Hour 3 where Chris Tucker has an angry homophobic reaction (played for laughs) to a transsexual who removes her wig after a “sexual interaction”. I haven’t seen the movie so I may be getting this wrong as the contents of the scene are not completely spelled out. When The Advocate questioned

  Photo courtesy of IESB IESB’s Robert Sanchez has never been one to keep quiet. He’s known for his no nonsense tough guy attitude, and is usually very vocal on and off the internet. During Robert’s Masters of the Web panel at Comic-Con 2007, the IESB webmaster attacked Cinematical.com and the blogosphere: “It’s not

• What's Up With Cops Attempting to Shut Down Swizz Beats?

  Published: July 26, 2007, 6:00 pm

  Tags: Controversy

  First off, the cops that are interpreting the following lines as anti-snitching sentiments are clearly off the mark as far as I'm concerned: The city's police department has called for Swizz Beatz to renounce anti-snitching sentiments or it will drop sponsorship of a Peace...

  Yesterday we told you that Rosario Dawson signed on to star alongside Shia LaBeouf in the D.J. Caruso thriller Eagle Eye. This however took Dawson out of the running for Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno, a romantic comedy that had been hand written for Dawson. And now Silent Bob finally speaks: “What can I say? It kinda sucks.

  I've been suffering a bit of writer's block lately which is why I haven't posted as much to this blog recently. My doctor's taken me off my medications I've been on for years to control depression and mood swings (my life's more stable these days and she thinks I should be able to cope without them now). So, while my poor brain goes through the

• Is waterboarding torture? Judge for yourself

  Published: July 27, 2007, 12:42 pm

  Tags: Political, My Opinion, Controversy

  It makes me extremely ashamed to think that my country of Australia supports the illegal acts perpetrated by the USA in the so-called "war against terror". How the USA can claim interrogation methods such as waterboarding are not torture is beyond belief. Just take a look at the following video and judge for yourself:From the page I originally

  Tags: Political, My Opinion, Controversy

  I've been reading the various articles on the web about US Attorney-General Alberto Gonzales' latest testimony (if that's what you call his pathetic efforts) before the US Senate, and the ridiculousness of his answers brought this old cartoon by Australian Stan Cross to mind:Gonzales really has become a laughing stock. Unfortunately, he is also in

  I think this picture sums up the good and bad about America. With children like this young girl maybe there is a decent future for America.Click for full sizeThe sign says:What I learned from BUSH1. Lying is O.K.2. Cheating is O.K.3. Torture is O.K.4. Taking away people's rights is O.K.5. Neglecting the poor is O.K.6. Being a religious hypocrite

  Virgin in the past has been caught out doing the wrong thing (mainly refusing to hire "older" workers - i.e. those over the age of 30). Now they have stooped even lower than that.If a picture of you has been posted to Flickr, then there's a chance that you could be on a big billboard somewhere in Australia, and labelled as a "loser" too.With all

• Aussie political parties criticised over same-sex rights policies

  Published: July 23, 2007, 3:05 am

  Tags: Political, My Opinion, Controversy

  This could be a real vote-winner for the Australian Labor Party if they play their cards right. I think most Australians these days are more open to equal rights for same-sex couples.It's disappointing to see that the current conservative government carries so many prejudices. Whether it be immigrants, Asians, Muslims, or gays, it seems to have a

• I found this to be a very sad story

  Tags: Political, My Opinion, Controversy

  The following article seems to be congratulating these two children on their entrepreneurial skills in setting up a lemonade stand to help pay their dad's medical bills. But I just found it very sad.What sort of nation is one where 12 year old children have to work to help pay their family's medical expenses? I certainly wouldn't expect something

  It's disappointing to see the direction my nation has taken under the stewardship of xenophobic John Howard. We have gone from being a nation that welcomed immigrants and refugees to a nation that turns away those needing refuge from oppression, tyranny or poverty.Australia is the most culturally diverse nation on Earth, with around 25% of the

  Yesterday a leaked call-sheet from the set of Paramount’s Cheese (a code-name for the film which is code-named Cloverfield and 1-18-08) was posted on the internet by NY Magazine [click here to read our coverage].

• Kevin Rudd - you just threw away my certain vote for you

  Published: August 10, 2007, 4:09 am

  Tags: Political, My Opinion, Controversy

  As my disappointed conservative parents would testify, I am a Labor voter through and through. The only time I have ever voted for Australia's Liberal (conservative) Party was way back when I first became eligible to vote and didn't know any better. But I also didn't vote Labor first last federal election - I put them as my second preference as I
