Back in 1984 or so, in the heady days of Phoenix gay hot spot Hotbods, you could count on seeing a young guy decked out like Boy George , with an LP on his head for a hat and plenty of rag-cloth dreadlocks. Everyone called him “Trashdance”, and I don’t think anyone ever knew his real name. I thought of “Trashdance” when I talked to actor Ben Martin , who plays George in...
Morning all. Just a quicky to show you some of the cards that I made the other night. Coloured a couple of images in yesterday but ended up swearing at my old lappy (I was relegated to that one as hubby was on this one) and watched telly most of the night starting with Star Wars and then we watched Adam Sandler in The Wedding Singer. That bloke makes me die laughing but I don't really know why - maybe...

I think it's safe to tell you, without spoiling the movie, that The Men Who Stare at Goats includes a couple of scenes with Jeff Bridges and George Clooney dancing around. The scenes are amusing and a little strange -- why are soldiers dancing? But they did fit consistently with the film as a whole. However, I was reminded of moments in movies that aren't musicals, but suddenly shift to some crazy...
Will Hasbro bring its "Micronauts" toys to the big screen...with J.J. Abrams producing? According to the Wall Street Journal, that's but one of the many toy-themed projects in development.
George Clooney: magnificent idiot . You can forget about Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler and all the rest: George Clooney is the best actor in the world if you're looking for someone to play a credible idiot . A George Clooney idiot is shallow and utterly self-involved, but he is a complete person—a complete, shallow, self-involved person. Traditionally, Clooney has saved his best idiots for the...
