OT: Pam Grier/ South Park/ Bareback Mountain
Nancy l. Dylong
South Park's great ideas:
From EW:
Ricky Blitt, the scribe behind the subversively silly new Johnny Knoxville
comedy The Ringer, says he was shocked when he recently came across a post
bashing him on the Rotten Tomatoes website. The post, from an irate South
Park fan, urged the animated show's creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, to
sue the makers of The Ringer (including producers Peter and Bobby Farrelly)
for ripping off an episode of the Comedy Central show in which Eric Cartman
pretends to be mentally challenged in order to qualify for the Special
Olympics - a premise that mirrors the concept of the Fox Searchlight film,
due to hit theaters Dec. 23.
I'm on South Park's side!
Now Pam Grier and blaxplotation movies;
Lifetime television (yes, I said Lifetime!) did a wonderfully funny movie in
the spirit of "This is Spinal Tap" called "Jackie's Back!". It was a story
of a black woman "of a certain age" who was trying to stage a comeback
after being out of the lime light for several years. She was a well known
singer who also did a series of movies in the blaxplotation vein. The movie
is shot as an extended this is your life interview and is just perfectly
done. Jackie is played (brilliantly) by Jenifer Lewis from "Sister Act".
Catch it if you can!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0202409/
And finally, "Bareback Mountain" I caught it today in NYC, and loved it.
Cried like a baby, you could feel the anguish of what these two men had to
endure and their longing to just be able to be what they really were without
fear. To add to the mix, I saw it with my sister, who is a lesbian, and her
companion. They to gave it two thumbs up. The theater was packed, and the
comments from people walking out were all raves.

The story is slightly backwards. It's the Farrelly brothers who are making
all the noise. They'd apparently been working on this story idea for a film
for some time, blissfully unaware of the South Park episode in question, and
now that they're in preproduction and it's been brought to their attention,
they've been making accusations all over town that Parker and Stone had been
approached with their "Ringer" script, which is patently untrue according to
Parker and Stone.

festival where the festival is moved to South Park because it's become
too cliche. The featured theme of the movies shown at Sundance is gay
cowboys eating chocolate pudding. Just in case no one has noticed. I
guess those guys are truly the cutting edge of hollywoods hopes and
dreams. Anyway, check this out with a friend who watches the show before
you start throwing things at me for being the first person to say a
discouraging word about brokeback mountain. <smiling>

Knoxville will never be able to do it as well as Cartman. I love
that little guy!

Discouraging word? I love it! This bunch can take a pun and run with! And I
agree, South Park is cutting edge and they are ripped off quite a bit.
That's why I posted the "The Ringer" item, as another example of an idea
being lifted from the show. Now I'm waiting for the movie about a Christian
rock band that pirates love songs and replaces all the names with Jesus!

Last night they showed the South Park ep titled
"The Simpsons Already Did It." But now it's
beginning to look like South Park already did
it -- which is a little scary, if cool!

"It is the night of the Christmas trees and pies...
'Cause Jesus was born and so I get presents..."
But I think my favorite is Kyle's song about
being a lonely Jew at Christmas, from the first
Mr. Hankey episode.

supposedly condemning promiscuity. I love when hypocrits get busted on

Well, I didn't know. I know some others have been caught over fishing for
that kind of activity while saying something different, but I didn't realize
he had. I'm not of a Republican bent, and for a long time rejected the idea
of gay Republicans at all, I did follow his blog during Election 2004, when
he made a lot of great sense, at least about politics - not about sex.

He made it to my sh*tlist back in late 2001 through 2002 when talk of war
in Iraq was starting for the first time and through the invasion. On
other boards, I was in the crazy minority pointing out how all the info
we were getting on Iraq was bogus, and the gung-hos were using
Sullivan's essays to tell us how wrong and unpatriotic we were.
