You have not yet learned that in life you have to be like everyone else. The perfect mediocrity; no better, no worse. Individuality is a monster and it must be strangled in its cradle to make our friends feel confident. You know, I have often thought that gangsters and artists are the same in the eyes of the masses. They are admired and hero-worshipped, but there is always present an underlying wish to see them destroyed at the peak of their glory.

Near Penn Station, next to the Amtrak tracks, squatters have been living for years. Marc Singer goes underground to live with them, and films this “family.” A dozen or so men and one woman talk about their lives: horrors of childhood, jail time, losing children, being coke-heads.

It’s now on Google video:

what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I’ve ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response was there anything that could even be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

Met Rick. You know, that rocked more. Wearing the pimp hat and feather though and the cane? Does he think he’s Gerry Ryan now or something?

Good to see the blogternity there too. Big up to fab movies site Movies.ie too. How many of the audience will go and see it again and more than once? A lot I’d say. How many straight men will not find Christian Bale hot but will have a man crush on the Joker?

Oh and I’m on the road at the moment so blog service will return soon enough. I challenge y’all to do your own fluffy links.

Evidence? The latest pop video from a female pop sensation is all about kissing girls. Now, 99% of pop music by female stars is listened to by gay men, with the other 0.5% listened to by prepubescent girls before they discover bad moods and wearing black and the other 0.5% by “Other”. Everyone knows this. Well everyone that’s not dumb. You saying you’re dumb, eh?

So remember, if you’re a gay man and watch this, it’s all about trying to turn you away from kissing boys and kissing girls. And we all know where that will lead! So be careful out there. I guess we’ll expect even more fag hags hanging around gay clubs now. Hoping. Just hoping. Maybe he’ll like you now. Cos of the song. One more week to keep that hope going.

But worry not, you can always regay yourself with the Dublin Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, now called Gaze. Starts July 31st. I really hope they don’t have Norris again talking shite at it.
