The Hokey Pokey Speech: I think we should all call Obama's speech at West Point the "Hokey Pokey" speech. Put 30,000 in, take 30,000 out....

Obama is making a speech! This week! Hard to believe, I know. He so seldom makes big speeches. He'll unveil his jobs plan. Included: Cash for caulkers. I wish I was kidding. Cue up the off color puns and porn titles. The dialogue practically writes itself...

Worker: I've got a stimulus package to deliver...

Not So Innocent Homeowner: Come in. You must be from Cash for Caulkers...

Forgiving the Franklins clip. My best friend made a film called Forgiving the Franklins over a series weekends with no budget. It is a gem. It went to Sundance and was a big hit. It's now available on ITunes (no small feat.) In the film 3 of the 4 members of a repressed Southern family miraculously and suddenly have their sex shame removed...to the horror of the daughter. In this clip the son recounts to his family the sex he had earlier in the day...his first time. I laugh every time.



At least they'll have a Nobel laureate: No Christmas trees in Copenhagen for conference.

Bonus CO2s in the atmosphere: Obama will now travel to Scandinavia twice in two weeks. Just saying...

Bob Barker takes Hollywood. Before his bath Sunday Bob met some friends at the bat cave in the Hollywood Hills to get really dirty...

Religion/Sex/Politics. Let's talk about them all at the dinner table!

Reminder: Sundance favorite Forgiving The Frankins comes out on DVD today. I don't get all wound up about movies here at L.R. much. But this is an exception. From an article titled: What If Jesus Told You to Have More Sex?

Floyd doesn't descend into Dogma by trashing everything that smacks of godliness. According to Floyd, "I do not intend to lampoon Christianity at all. If anything, I wanted to lampoon zealotry. There are good Christians, and awful ones as well. Unfortunately, I think the corrupt kind has had control of the microphone for too many years now, and I think it's time for the other side--my side--to speak up again."

Read the rest.

as they say : Rent it today!
