HSM3: I don't see my life as a ballgame anymoreby SilBot (all) Mon 17 Nov 08, 8:26PM 3 responsesHere's my (surprisingly positive) review of High School Musical 3: Senior Year. _______________________________ Are you ready for the most meta musical of recent Hollywood history? Probably not, but you’re fairly likely to see it anyway, if you haven’t already. It turns out High Scho...

Two Years Ago Today Since I Came Outby SilBot (all) Thu 7 Aug 08, 2:15PM 10 responsesI know it's long, but I felt like offering a little bit of background on my coming out story, on my two year gayniversary: August 7 is the one day of the year when I allow myself to be absolutely, unabashedly, one-hundred percent gay. I don't know much about personal courage, living in a liberal ...

Onceby SilBot (all) Fri 1 Aug 08, 10:27PM 5 responsesIn her surprisingly enthusiastic review of the forgettable Hugh Grant rom-com 'Music and Lyrics', my favorite movie critic, Dana Stevens of Slate Magazine, lauded it for being one of these very few films that succeeds in portraying the craftsmanship of song writing. I never quite got her point, unti...

Vlogging The Republican Veepstakesby SilBot (all) Tue 29 Jul 08, 7:35PM 2 responsesAn attempt to handicap the GOP veep search. As always, my English is by no means perfect (I'm Norwegian). Also, both the sound, the lighting and quality is a little off. On that note: Try to enjoy it. ...

Emile Hirsch Is Hot. \'Speed Racer\' Isnby SilBot (all) Fri 4 Jul 08, 7:57PM 0 responsesI should’ve known that nothing good would come out of letting my shallow side get the best of me. Yes, ‘Speed Racer’ lead Emile Hirsch is one of the Sexiest Males Alive. Yes, when I applied the same reasoning to convince myself to see 'Into The Wild', I got one of my best movie experiences this year...

Why Wimbledon Is a Treasure Trove for Gaysby SilBot (all) Sat 28 Jun 08, 2:59PM 2 responsesSports is not exactly the most important thing in my life, but it's still quite important (Damn, that's sounds so sad! Could it be more obvious that I don't have a boyfriend?). There is an absolutely terrific soccer championship coming to a close in Austria and Switzerland this weekend (the Euro 200...

Five Mistakes Obama Madeby SilBot (all) Tue 3 Jun 08, 12:02PM 1 responsesTonight Barack Obama will effectively clinch the Democratic presidential nomination, even though it could still take a day or two for enough superdelegates to rally to his side, and for Hillary Clinton to accept the inevitable. Therefore, this is as good a time as any to point out some things Obama ...

Into The Wildby SilBot (all) Wed 12 Mar 08, 7:24PM 2 responsesIn Norwegian cinemas we are currently experiencing the flood of excellent films that summed up this year's Oscars: 'There Will Be Blood', 'The Diving Bell And The Butterfly', 'Juno', 'Sweeney Todd' et cetera, and I've seen them all in fairly rapid succession, always intrigued, never disappointed. It...

Zodiacby SilBot (all) Sat 8 Mar 08, 12:40PM 5 responsesFilms about serial killers are always a tough sell to me. Usually, it seems like the main ambition is one of two; either to explore the limits of brutality and gore under the current ratings system, giving them a disturbing resemblance to traditional horror flicks; or to desperately try to out-smart...

Imaginary Heroesby SilBot (all) Sat 8 Mar 08, 3:36AM 0 responsesI've written earlier about how I could choose a movie for relatively shallow reasons (i.e., I saw 'Jumper' for the sheer cuteness of Jamie Bell), and likewise I have to admit that I was initially drawn to Dan Harris' directorial debut 'Imaginary Heroes' because young lead Emile Hirsch is incredibly...

Too Good For Their Party?by SilBot (all) Wed 5 Mar 08, 1:00PM 0 responsesWhen this election cycle is over, the Democratic Party could end up blaming 'enthusiasm' for their loss. Had it not been for the fact that the Democrats have to choose between two absolutely formidable presidential contenders, this could have been decided long ago, and their solid, but not very inte...

Spoiler Alert: Nader's Backby SilBot (all) Sun 24 Feb 08, 5:22PM 7 responsesIn an interview with Tim Russert on 'Meet The Press' today, serial presidential candidate Ralph Nader, famous for taking votes away from Democrat Al Gore in the Florida 2000 Presidential Election possibly handing the presidency to George W. Bush, announced he'll run yet again. Although Nader is prob...

Clinton's Coalition Gave Wisconsin To Obamaby SilBot (all) Wed 20 Feb 08, 10:30AM 3 responsesTuesday's Wisconsin primary might well have been one of the most important contests in this year's battle for the Democratic presidential nomination. No matter how hard the Clinton will try to spin Obama's sweeping victory as pretty much what was to be expected, they cannot hide fact that the exit p...

Jumperby SilBot (all) Mon 18 Feb 08, 11:58PM 5 responsesUnfortunately, "Jumper" is not so bad it's good. It's just incredibly bad, period. This being a gay forum and all, I feel I can admit to having exclusively shallow reasons for watching this stupid teleporting movie in the first place. I've sort of had a crush on the talented Jamie Bell ever since...

Romney Loses Reagan Primary, Exits G.O.P. Raceby SilBot (all) Fri 8 Feb 08, 12:29PM 2 responsesYesterday had me wondering wether former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee is really psychic. To laughter and cheers from his supporters, he said on Super Tuesday that the race for the Republican nomination was now a two-man race betweem himself and Arizona Senator John McCain. Less than 48 hours late...
