DIRT NASTY: Everyone's favorite MTV VJ in the 90's, Simon Rex aka Dirt Nasty, and his tribute to the 1980's. (Possibly NSFW)

MY DICK: Milwaukee clubs have yet to play this song but word has it that NYC has been blasting this over the airwaves to their sweaty masses for months. Go figure. Mickey Avalon and crew (Dirt Nasty & Andre Legacy) bring an enjoyable albeit juvenile tribute to their talent dicks. (NSFW)

PALATIAL REGALIA: This little gem - directed by Nick Goossen - unveils the other hidden talents of Simon. If you have to guess - I'm suggesting, acting. And extra points for those of you that know what palatial and regalia mean. No cheating!

MCDIRT NASTY: This is the sole reason for my re-infatuation with that crusty gay porn making, former MTV VJ, and now Hollywood homo drifter. Favorite line includes Monica and Sigourney Weaver. (Possibly NSFW)

There is certainly something nearly magical about Netflix. Movies continue to arrive in my mailbox day after day and when I'm finished i don't even have to worry about a stamp. But, probably the most exciting thing about the online movie distributor is when you deviate from your natural choices and go with one of their many recommendations. Of these times, I have been both pleasantly surprised and sourly disappointed with my new finds.

Take for instance my most recent film: The Jacket. I was primarily looking forward to seeing Adrien Brody (who I have such a major crush on). I had no idea what an impressive cast this film would unveil before my eyes - Keira Knightley, Daniel Craig, Kris Kristofferson, Brad Renfro, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and SATC hottie Jason Lewis.

If having a great cast isn't enough to convince you to add this to your Netflix queue perhaps you'll enjoy hearing a bit about the plot. Jack Starks (Brody) is a veteran from the first Gulf War where he suffered head trauma and now has spells of amnesia. He returns home to Vermont only to find himself in two situations that will change his life: a mother and daughter are stranded by the side of the road because their car won't start and the mom (Kelly Lynch) is totally drunk so Jack fixes the car only to be accused of trying to abduct the young girl (who also happens to take a fancy to Jack); and later as he is hitchhiking in the dead of winter is picked up by a stranger (Renfro) who gets pulled over by the police and whether planned or simply freaking out shoots and kills the officer (Lewis). Starks is injured in the altercation and passes out in a nearby snow bank only to be accused of the murder himself. He can't remember anything because of his amnesia and is sent to an Insane Asylum where he undergoes a therapy - perhaps more aptly, torture - involving a very primitive looking straight jacket which allows him to travel time once he learns how to control it. There he meets people from his past and present and gradually tries to right what is wrong before his time runs out.

The film is actually quite touching and a few tears may have escaped from my tear ducts before the closing credits finished. It has some of the same qualities as The Butterfly Effect, Donnie Darko, and Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind.

Overall I'd give it a B-. So, if you want to break out of your Netflix rut this film should be a decent adventure. And really, what do you have to lose?

Yesterday as I was surfing the blogosphere, catching up on Pennsylvania election news, and perusing for new gay news I came across Kellee Terrell's Pop Gumbo blog.

I was drawn in to her entry about Michelle Obama. Some of you might remember a few months ago with Michelle Obama said that she was ashamed of the United States for so long but now she is beginning to love her country again. (Or something to that effect.)

Well, Kellee lays out a lot of great reasons many people have lost faith or feel ashamed of the US. Among some of her wonderful points are our horrible job at helping the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

BUT, the quote of the day for me yesterday was this:

"How can you love a nation that allowed for Full House to be on for a damn decade and cancelled My So-Called Life after 12 measly episodes?" (Source: Pop Gumbo)

My point exactly. Thanks Kellee!

According to some sources random strangers David Beckham recently lost a large endorsement from Bic. In protest he decided not to pick up a razor. Ever again.

Well, right after he finished shaving his head.
