Hmm. Well I guess I'm not black, hunh?

Jesus H. Mel-Gibson-on-the-Cross am I sick of this
crap! I spent the better part of this weekend ripping
Jesse Jackson a new one (im a piece I'm doing for "The
Advocate") for claiming that the gay rights and civil
rights movement having nothing whatsoever in common.
He seems to forget that without a gay black man named
Bayard Rustin he wouldn't have a platform to speak on
today.

Too bad for him that I have such a good memory -- and
that I'm such a bitch on top of it!

But I digress. I had the great pleasure of meeting
Juanita Moore recently. She's a lovely and remarkable
woman.

It's of interest, but marginally. A few shots that are obviously Sternberg. Others look pretty much Ray -- without his heart in it. The stars twinkle, however....

"Macao" seems genuinely Sternberg-like in most of its visual style. Much of the film is fascinating to look at. I have only seen it on TV, but always enjoy it....
