TV: Sense8 Finale Date Set

by
Sense8

Netflix will release its two-hour series finale of Sense8 on June 8, the company said Tuesday. “Personal lives are pushed aside as the cluster, their sidekicks, and some unexpected allies band together for a rescue mission and BPO take-down in order to protect the future of all Sensates,” according to Netflix’s description. The sci-fi series from J. Michael Straczynski and the Wachowskis was canceled last year amid reports that it cost about $9 million an episode to produce. But fan letter-writing and petition campaigns prodded Netflix to greenlight a two-hour finale for the show. By Joe – Full Story at … Read more

FILM: New Short Musical Film Takes on Coming Out, Time Travel

by
Closets the Musical

We are all used to the idea of coming out of the closet. But in my new musical, Closets, two teens step into a closet to time-travel in LGBTI history. My original short film, Closets, is about two gay teenagers, one living in 1986 and the other in 2016. Both have the same bedroom and their wardrobe is a portal between the two periods, so they can meet. How Closets came into being I had made my first LGBTI feature films aged 20 to 27. I financed them mainly by credit cards with fingers crossed, and often met with mixed … Read more

TV TRAILER: Season Two of Handmaid’s Tale” This Week

by
Handmaid's Tale

Season two of “The Handmaid’s Tale” (premiering on Hulu on April 25) is off to a great start. As the series moves into uncharted territory, the suspense increases and the personal and political pressures become even more intense. The series is based on Margaret Atwood’s monumental 1985 dystopian novel in which the United States is taken over by theocratic terrorists who establish the repressive Republic of Gilead. Environmental disasters have rendered most women infertile; the women who can still bear children are forced to become Handmaids (dressed in red), reproductive surrogates for the Commanders and their wives (dressed in blue). … Read more

FILM: Mulan Bisexual Icon Removed from Live Action Version of Film

by
Li Shang

Bisexual icon Li Shang has seemingly been removed from Disney’s live-action remake of Mulan – and fans are outraged. Shang won over bi fans everywhere in the original 1998 film, with many adoring Disney’s apparently unintentional creation of a character who is clearly attracted to both Mulan and her male alter-ego, Ping.  As one person has put it, “shang is giving mulan the exact same look even when he thought she was a man THIS BISEXUAL TEA”. But according to a casting call unearthed by Twitter account nerdyasians, Disney has engaged in literal bi-erasure, eliminating the subject of so many … Read more

A Testament Against Hate; Jeff Baker, Boogieman in Lavender

by

I Am The Night; Rod Serling’s Testament Against Hatred By Jeff Baker The fifth season of the original Twilight Zone gets unjustly maligned. The show was showing its age and while there were some classics (“Nightmare at 20,000 Feet”) there were some clunkers (“The Encounter”). One of those episodes deserves a re-examination. “I Am the Night, Color Me Black” aired March 27, 1964, and I have agreed with many that it is a heavy-handed and obvious diatribe against racial injustice and prejudice. Valid concerns in the country in 1964, but Zone had done it better earlier, for example in the … Read more

Queer Eye for the Jedi

Tired of no LGBTI people in Star Wars movies? Well the Queer Eye guys are here to take on the galaxy. Vulture has done a hilarious video mashing up scenes from Netflix’s Queer Eye with scenes from the Star Wars movies. Bobby (poor Bobby) is replaced by Yoda, and Jonathan Van Ness is ready to give Luke some moisture to that dusty beard. C-3PO wanders in during some of the interstitial scenes. Also Jabba the Hut (in a Nascar) hat gets a much needed makeover.

Bisexual Avengers

When Avengers: Infinity War hits cinemas in a few short weeks, dozens of superheroes will attempt to stop intergalactic dictator Thanos from destroying Earth and the very bonds of existence. And all of them are bisexual, apparently.

SPACE: Wanna See the Earth From Orbit, But Don’t Have $20 Million?

by
One Strange Rock

Looking down at the vast curve of planet Earth hundreds of miles below, I can see its white cloud cover stretching over expanses of blue ocean. This may be the closest I’ll ever get to outer space, but I haven’t left Midtown Manhattan. I’m peering at our distant world using a special “space” helmet that re-creates the dizzying sensation of hovering far above the planet. Displayed across my visor — and on those of my fellow “astronauts” in the seats of a small theater — were excerpts from “One Strange Rock,” a new documentary series from the National Geographic Channel … Read more
