Shortbus IMDb Censorship Update

n an email I received today from Shortbus writer/director John Cameron Mitchell, he tells me that on January 9th, the IMDb agreed to remove the adult label from Shortbus, but a check again today shows the site has not followed through. [...]

IMDb Censors Shortbus Listing

As of this posting, the Internet Movie Database is censoring its search results by preventing certain films from coming up in the regular results of a search of the database. Apparently, it’s been classified as “Adult,” along with The Sperminator, The Poonies and On Golden Blonde. Can anyone say “Horseshit?” [...]

2006 indieWIRE Blog Poll

In response to fellow blogger Tom Hall’s call to arms, as well as the 2006 indieWIRE Critics’ poll I am posting my year end list. I have violated the rules laid down by Mr. Hall and indieWIRE because I felt like it and because I have trouble following directions. I have doubled the performance categories and thrown some runners up, as well as a few “worst of the year” mentions. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: my blog, my rules! [...]

Shortbus Opens In NYC

3rd Shortbus Cannes Video – Ça Plane Pour Moi!

John Cameron Mitchell, Justin Bond and the Shortbus All-Stars (my name) kick things up a few notches with this rollicking duet. Again, I plead for the existence of a full recording of this night! p.s. Those of you familiar with David Bowie’s Earthling tour may see an eerie resemblance in the initial still from this [...]

2nd Shortbus Cannes Video – Shoo Bee Doo Bee Doo Wop!

Shoo Bee Doo Bee Doo Wop! Jay Brannan overdid it at the soda shop…. [...]

Shortbus Party At Cannes – 1st Video Blog

One of the fun things about any good film festival is the sheer number of parties and this year’s Cannes was no exception. This year I picked well on two occasions, the first of which was the party for John Cameron Mitchell’s Shortbus. [...]

Cannes #3 – IFCtv.com – “Marie Antoinette”: Let them eat fluff.

Yesterday I emailed my third Cannes post for IFCtv.com from Madrid during a layover and my ever patient editor Alison Willmore posted it quickly and even came up with a snappy title that I forgot to add! Read on! [...]
