"Kate Winslet’s performance as a concentration camp guard in The Reader has been the subject of much debate over the past week, though little of the discussion has actually concerned her craft. The argument lies in whether or not this specific performance should be considered for the lead or supporting actress category. Furthermore, if Winslet ends up in the latter, will it be due to “category fraud?” That is not a legal term and this is not a legal issue, but it is an important topic for this year’s Oscars. The significance of the matter likely extends even to Winslet’s ability to sleep at night, as she may fear the high possibility of her becoming “the biggest loser among actresses in the history of the Academy Awards.” Category fraud may be defined as an attempt to deceive "

"What's the AFI Project, you ask? For more information, or if you just enjoy my bemused ramblings, read here: http://www.spout.com/blogs/pip pin06/archive/2008/3/1/25756.a spx Midnight Cowboy is on the following AFI lists: The Original Top 100 (#36)100 Greatest Film Songs (#22 - "Everybody's Talkin'")100 Movie Quotes (#27 - Enrico 'Ratso' Rizzo: "I'm walking here! I'm walking here!")The Revised Top 100 (#43) For some reason, I was unable to procure Midnight Cowboy from acquaintances, relations, or my beloved Netflix, so, as temptation makes it so easy compared to the more daunting task of trying to scout out a hard or digital copy of the movie a bit more legitimately, I procured the film another way. Yes. It's been a week since I've watched this film, thanks to the opening of "A Wonderful Life" at the Grand Rapids Civic Theater, in which I play many roles (your general ubiquitous ensemble type member). Buy a ticket today! I knew very little about the film, except fhat it receive ... "

"Are you a supporter of gay marriage? “I know nothing about it. I don’t follow that.” Why doesn’t it interest you? “The same reason heterosexual marriage doesn’t seem to interest me.” –From Questions for Gore Vidal in The New York Times Magazine, 6/15/08. Amen, sister. One of the perks of being queer is that you’re not expected to engage in unnatural acts like high school proms and monogamy. So in honor of the hedonistic right to our own guilt-free, queer Mardi Gras, here are some subversive suggestions that will get you in the mood and take you back to that more innocent, less commercial “Over The Rainbow” time. For vintage gay porn nothing beats George Butler’s Pumping Iron (1977) – and not just because the governor of California unapologetically indulges in a big fat phallic joint straight to the camera. Ostensibly a smackdown between pre-Governator Schwarzenegger and pr "

"One of Jon Voight's first films, this was the one that kicked off his film career. This would be the film that also exploited Dustin Hoffman's true acting talent. This would also be the first X-rated film ever to win an Oscar for Best Picture (although by today's standards, it would barely even be rated-R). This would also be one of the first great films that kicked off one of the best decades of American film, the 1970s. I'd been dying to see this film for some time. It was a landmark film in so many ways and it was great in so many ways. It's a story about a very positive, though very naive boy from Texas named Joe Buck (Jon Voight) whose past haunts him and wants to escape his hometown Texas life (and his past) for a life of sex and gigolo-ism in New York City. He finds that the New York life isn't all it's made out to be and he struggles, all the while getting hustled himself and having to subject himself to the pains and horrors of a small-town kid ... "

"This is the film that opened the gate for films like "The Panic In Needle Park", "Drugstore Cowboy" and even "Requiem For A Dream". Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight shine in their respective roles, and while the film feels a little dated (thanks to some not-so-subtle direction by John Schlesinger) it's still an interesting time capsule to the mind set of the era. As Roger Ebert says, this is a good movie with a masterpiece trapped inside. I think that sums up my feelings exactly about this film. 'Nuff said. "
