If you remember Scott Thompson was in a movie called Another Gay Movie a while ago. Two years ago? Apparently there's now Another Gay Sequel. Trailer below:

Remember when alt.tv.kids-in-hall used to have useful information about things and wasn't overtaken by spam?

Probably not, eh?

The tour is over and while I had a blast seeing them here, it was fun to glom onto some new information. This is what I learned and I'm sure you've all learned it from others.

• They were filming in Austin for something to be aired on Comedy Central (although I know not when)
• They are planning to do a movie together. (I hope it will be great!)
• Scott Thompson will take Scottastrophe on the road. Of late he's only performed this one man show in the Los Angeles area, but he's planning a tour for it.

I feel like I'm forgetting something... I probably am. If I remember I'll come back and add it.

I knew this movie existed. It was one of those movies that were perfect for movie art houses before everything became stadium seating and movieplexes.

It was on the Independent Film Channel (IFC) last night so I decided to watch it because I knew it starred Mark McKinney. This last tour after the show someone was asking him about the movie and he looked to me to see if I knew some factoid he was trying to remember. I had to admit I hadn't seen the film.

Having seen it I don't know if I could have answered his question. This was an arthouse movie. That's the nice, politically correct way of saying it was weird as hell. The story takes place during the depression era, so it's filmed in black & white and made to look grainy like you are looking at an old movie. The daughter of a beer brewer (Isabella Rossellini) decides to have an international contest to find the Saddest song in the World. Mark McKinney plays this sleazy guy who works for her who is trying to 'buy out' the competition.

This film is all over the place. I'm not sure if it's meant to be a drama, or a comedy, or a satire, or a commentaries of life in a depressed era of history. It was just plain bizarre. Mark looks so apart of the era that it's almost eerie. Sometimes you feel like you are looking at a news reel and he blends seamlessly in those reels. He's always been a true chameleon anyway (Mississippi Gary or hell even Chicken Lady anyone?).

Since this site is primarily pretty dead because I work on the other site more... okay make that work on the forum of the site there.

Now I have to see if I can make this the front page. Or have the home just redirect to here.
