Dreamweaver queer artists recently paid tribute to Sigourney Weaver here at a special gallery exhibit in NYC. Why I wasn't warned of this and could therefore help spead the word, I do not know. Love my Sigweavie.
The Advocate... Sigourney Weaver responded to the tribute.
It means so much to me that my work has been relevant and encouraging to the LGBT community. I support each and every one of you to be exactly and gloriously who you are and all you can be. The planet needs your individuality and talent and power to make it a more humane and respectful and fantastic place, where everyone is valued and celebrated equally.

In Contention keeps us abreast of what's happening with the MTV Movie Awards. I always forget about those but they were so fun ages and ages ago before they got completely coopted by the mainstream. I mean Jesus, in one of their first years they gave a prize to Wes Anderson before anyone knew who he was.

Talking about Thatcher and the movies: Has anyone seen Glenda Jackson's Parliamentary... ummm... eulogy on Youtube? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDtClJYJBj8)
In a universe in which all members of all Parliaments were legendary and two-time Oscar winning actors, Parliamentary debates might actually be worthwhile...
It is always a thrill to listen to Glenda Jackson.
PD Meryl, we love you, but please stop praising Thatcher as a role model for women.
Thatcher would have been please to know a black woman was defeated so the over privileged white woman could receive another accolade in her name.
The isolation that Streep is granted certainly takes her out of the conversation for women in Hollywood and their struggles against systematic sexism. Also, her shit taste, is pretty vanilla.
MTV Movie Awards is where I first heard of Wes Anderson and was the reason I rented Bottle Rocket. They've fallen a long way.
I still want a Breakfast Club sequel where they go to their high school reunion and get locked in that library... except, of course, with cellphones you can't really get trapped anywhere as mundane as a high school library anymore.
