Exclusive: Glitter & Doom, an Lgbtqia+ jukebox feature musical told with the iconic tunes of Grammy winning folk duo Indigo Girls, is in production already in Mexico City starring The Mandalorian‘s Ming-Na Wen, Y: The Last Man‘s Missi Pyle, and directed by Tom Gustafson off a screenplay by Cory Krueckeberg.
Billed as a fantastical summer romance, the pic follows a musician who wears charisma as camouflage and a carefree kid about to run away with the circus as they fall in love at first sight. But will 29 days be enough time to fall in love forever? International discoveries Alex Diaz stars as Glitter and Alan Cammish as Doom with Orange Is The New Black‘s Lea DeLaria also starring, and cameos by Tig Notaro and Indigo Girls Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. Wen will play the role of Ivy in the film.
The film is produced by Speak productions...

Awesome. Man, what an awesome episode of TV. Plots moving forward, mysteries coming unraveled, unholier alliances being formed, romances facing real-life challenges, self-aware in-jokes, two high-stakes climactic scenes, and the funniest title gag this show has ever done. Joseph Dougherty, who is also responsible for some of the other most exciting episodes of this show ("Through Many Dangers, Toils and Snares" for one), teamed up with newcomer Lijah J. Barasz on this one, and standing O for those guys; I think "Ctrl + A" was the best episode of season 2B so far.
Rosewood High. After nudging/blackmailing Principal N00b into letting Emily back onto the swim team, Mona is nowhere to be found when the Sharks bring home their giant championship trophy this week. Emily wasn't out of shape at all, I guess, even though she hasn't been on the swim team since "A" poisoned her with Human Growth Hormone all those months ago.

Riddle me this. What do you get when you combine over 10,000 happy lesbians, daily pool parties, nightly dance parties, and enough alcohol to keep Amy Winehouse occupied for five days? If you answered, "I don't know, but where do I sign up?" you wouldn't be the first. Actually, what you do get is the largest lesbian event in the world: The Dinah Shore Weekend in Palm Springs, California.
The desert extravaganza that's been described as "Lesbian Spring Break" is more than gay girls gone wild. I've been to three Dinah's and can tell you it's not for the weak, the straight, or the easily shocked. You haven't lived until you've seen topless girls hanging off a hotel balcony, swinging a blow up doll and waving to Leisha Hailey.
A new feature length documentary, Out in The Desert, promises an insider's look into, not only the dreamy dykes, debauchery and drama,...

Years ago, high-school Josh was obsessed with music from Athens and Atlanta—R.E.M., Guadalcanal Diary, Drivin' & Cryin', the Indigo Girls. One of cassettes (hey, I said years ago) I listened to more than any other was a 1988 album called Rough Night in Jericho by Dreams So Real. It was a perfect gateway for classic-rock-loving junior-high-school Josh to start listening to college radio with gruff, earnest vocals over chime-y guitars.

Now with more gay! Showtime loves gay people. First we had Queer as Folk, where we followed the lives of attractive, successful gay men (and a couple of lesbians sprinkled in for good measure) which pretty much consisted of having sex and fighting. Then we got The L Word, a show about successful, attractive lesbians who also have sex and fight. Myself, being an “L,” I can tell you that the show is nowhere near an accurate depiction of the lives of lesbians...or at least the ones I know. Where are the softball games?...the mullets?...the cats?...the Indigo Girls? Well, in an attempt to document the “real” lives of gay people, or at least a portion of, Showtime is developing Way Out, where we’ll get to watch what happens when gay people come out to their friends and loved ones. It’s what happens when people...

Co-owned by the Indigo Girls' Emily Sailers and award-winning chef Scott Peacock, Decatur's Watershed Restaurant has become a hallmark of gourmet Southern charm over the past decade. And on Monday, Oct. 27, Watershed will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a traditional Southern barbecue helmed by Pitmaster Jimmy Hagood of Charleston, S.C.'s BlackJack Barbecue. It'll be like an old-fashioned harvest festival with games and bluegrass entertainment, not to mention Chef Peacock's own legendary victuals.

PARK CITY - Eight-letter word for the award this Sundance documentary entrant will likely win.
AUDIENCE.
You don't have to finish the N.Y. Times Saturday crossword puzzle in under three minutes like some of us (just kidding) to enjoy this witty ditty about the importance of crossword puzzles. A welcome respite from the high-issue entrants in the Documentary Competition here - Gaza Strip, Death Penalty - that generally bark out at you as "important issue," "Wordplay is a delightful diversion.
In this frothy amusement, filmmaker Patrick Creadon focuses on "The New York Times" crossword puzzle editor William Shortz and the annual American Crossword Puzzle Tournament, he hosts in Stamford, Conn, Shortz designed his own major at Indiana University, dubbing it "enigmatology" because even as a teen he knew that crossword puzzles were his life.
While puzzles are not most peoples' lives, they are truly an essential part. "Wordplay" goes up/down and across on the varied reasons why more than 50 million Americans do a crossword puzzle every week. Filmmaker Patrick Creadon not only fills in the empty spaces but arranges the blocks in such a way that unveils not only the puzzles' addictive pleasures but its origins and aesthetics
Centering on the Competition, Creadon rolls out the long line of different-folks who sharpen their pencils, click their pens or partake in whatever personal ritual applies to their crossword "approach." It's a pleasurable and, sometimes, maddening part of their lives. There is no such thing as a "crossword puzzle"-type, as some might expect. True, there are compulsive nerds who grind away at crossword puzzles like taking an SAT, but the range of aficionados is a wonderfully puzzling cross of lines - class, age, personality. However, those in the math professions and music have their brains wired in such a way as to generally lead the pack.
Smartly mixing puzzle construction arcana with idiosyncratic personal asides, Creadon unspools insider puzzle facts with idiosyncratic asides. He presents a wide range of exuberant puzzle-heads who offer commentary: filmmaker Ken Burns, piano man Joe Delfin, ex-President Bill Clinton, Yankee pitcher Mike Mussina, The Indigo Girls, and "The Daily Show's Jon Stewart, among many others. Each expounds on the particular appeals, pleasures and lessons they enjoy from their daily crossword rituals. Clinton exudes that he tries to start at core places where he knows the answers and builds from there, likening it to diplomacy and political problem solving.
While it's smart, "Wordplay" is not too serious about itself. Under filmmaker Patrick Creadon's sharp approach, the technical contributions are graceful, particularly composer Peter Golub's zesty, sounds which are perfect counter-point to any big illuminations on why these doggone things are so fun and addictive.
