For the love of Ewan McGregor: New Autobiographical Comedy, “Beginners”

For the love of Ewan McGregor. I would cut off my left pink for this man (I don’t use it much anyhow).

 

One of the things that impressed filmmaker Mike Mills most when he directed Ewan McGregor in his new autobiographical comedy, “Beginners,” was that the actor “has an open heart. It’s hard to find in a straight guy, like an emotionally available, emotionally vulnerable, emotionally willing to be vulnerable straight guy. It’s really hard,” he said last year during the Toronto International Film Festival.

“When I watch the movie, I kind of fall in love with Ewan.”

Accidental Bear Interrogates Bruce LaBruce; “Hollywood is Dead.” (Q & A)

It is rare that you get to chat with someone you consider a legend and has influenced your life. Well slap my ass and call me Judy, I just did. Bruce LaBruce is brilliantly off key and sharp. Bruce’s film No Skin Off my Ass  skated me through a blurry time in my life by inspiring  me with  images of homocore-queer-skinheads and exposing me to a side of gay culture I could honestly relate to other than Jack Tripper from Threes Company. There is nothing cookie cutter about Bruce and he has kept true to the integrity of his art. I imagine Bruce like myself would find beauty in a mud puddle in a dirty parking lot. That takes an untrained eye and nothing thousands of dollars of art school can teach you. My interview with Bruce is direct and to the point, no fluff. I suggest you draw yourself and bath, get a little tipsy, do some poppers and slip into the water and enjoy our chat. What happens below the water is your own business.
