Catching up in TV LAND

2007-04-14T10:20:00.000-07:00

ANDY BARKER, PI: After the second episode of this NBC sitcom, I lost interest (as did the rest of the U.S., it seems: BARKER has been bandished to Saturday night)

THE RICHES: I made it to the first ten minutes of Episode 3 before I realized how much I hated this new F/X network show. Sorry, Minnie!

TOP DESIGN: I LOVE LOVE LOVE Project Runway and I HATE HATE HATE Top Chef. TOP DESIGN fell somewhere in between. I completed this show from beginning to end and it was just okay. I hear Cycle 4 of RUNWAY is in the works, WHEW! I have SHEAR GENIUS on stand-by. BRAVO, Bravo!

ACCEPTABLE TV: Check this one out if you are into the whole YouTube craze. Basically the show is 5 episodes of short tv skits. Viewers then vote on their favorites. The two highest ranking shows return for Episode 2 the following week. It's pointless, but addictive. From the mind of Jack Black, if that helps.

CLATTERFORD: I have been slowly getting more into this BBC America comedy from the terrific Jennifer Saunders. Not for everyone's tastes, but if you like British humour, you just might like Clatterford.

JUICED: The Choice is Yours!

2007-03-18T09:09:00.000-07:00

Viewers of JUICED: THE NEED TO BREED will have the choice to see the sex scenes with music or see the sex scenes with no background music. If you choose to watch the movie without the music you will still hear the natural sounds and moans and groans. I know not everyone likes background music pumped into their porn - I, in fact, am completely mixed on the topic. At times, I just want the naturalness of sex, but at others the music can certainly facillitate a scene and make it more powerful. In any event, the CHOICE is yours to make. HAPPY STROKING, guys! And girls, hope you enjoy the hell out of it, too! ;-)

THE RICHES/ANDY BARKER

2007-03-17T07:58:00.000-07:00

THE RICHES: After only seeing the pilot episode, I have to say that I am curiously intrigued about this new FX show. At times it was a little hard to stomach (it can be really funny...really harsh...and sometimes violent), but that mix, though disjointed and uneven at times, gives it a notoriety all it's own. I'd like to see the dark humor amped up even more, however. I think it will take a few weeks to find it's legs, but once the characters are firmly established in their new roles, I think the show will earn A status. For now, a B+

ANDY BARKER, P.I.: I enjoyed this new Andy Richter comedy, and it was great seeing ELLEN's Clea Lewis and ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT's Tony Hale back in action. The series is laugh-track-less and is shot single-camera (no studio audience) style. So you will have to laugh on your own without the help of canned laughter or a studio audience (THANK GOD!). Again, as with most pilots (i.e., THE RICHES), I think the show needs to settle into it's groove before I can make a final analysis, but so far, so good. B

JUICED: THE NEED TO BREED video preview...

2007-03-10T14:28:00.000-08:00

...is now up and running on the www.cre8tivejuices.com website.

Also, the master of the movie was shipped off today for duplication. So now its just a matter of a week or so before the copies come back to us and then we can start satisfying some cocks out there. ;-)

Re-Visiting My TV Faves...

2007-03-10T06:40:00.000-08:00

The 2006-2007 TV season comes to a close in just 3 months. So I thought I would take a look back on my Early Fall Favorites before they aired and how they are doing now. First, STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP, 30 ROCK and THE CLASS have all under-performed, as we all know. In the best position to get renewed is probably 30 ROCK. I doubt STUDIO 60 will come back, especially if NBC picks up another low-rated critically-adored show called FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS instead. Or who knows, maybe all 3 NBC shows will bite the dust. Personally, I would love to see CROSSING JORDAN and LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT get canned. Other NBC early casualties were KIDNAPPED and TWENTY GOOD YEARS. The BIG success story for NBC this year was HEROES, which also happened to be one of the shows I was most excited about seeing. Over at ABC, the big show for me was UGLY BETTY, and it rocked! I also had hoped BROTHERS & SISTERS would be another good-trashy soap opera, but it's more boring-family-drama soap-lite instead. And after a few early episodes, I bowed out of it. But it has done so-so in the ratings, and ABC will likely pick it up again. MEN IN TREES also has a shot at renewal, especially if OCTOBER ROAD (replacing it on Thursday nights) tanks. However, if OCTOBER does really well, ABC may make a decision to keep it instead (or maybe WHAT ABOUT BRIAN will exit). In any event, ABC has some awesome new drama pilots in the works (GREYS ANATOMY spin-off, FOOTBALL WIVES, DIRTY SEXY MONEY, CASHMERE MAFIA). ABC's comedies THE KNIGHTS OF PROSPERITY, BIG DAY, HELP ME HELP YOU, IN CASE OF EMERGENCY: all HORRIBLE! And does anyone even remember THE NINE, SIX DEGREES or DAY BREAK? No, it's probably a foregone conclusion that ABC will be cleaning house at the end of the season and adding some awesome high-concept shows to replace them next fall. CBS had the least to worry about at the start of the season: they only premiered 4 new shows: THE CLASS, JERICHO, SHARK and SMITH. Only SHARK has made the Top 20 during this winter season, with JERICHO losing out to AMERICAN IDOL and now in danger of not making it back for round 2: ditto THE CLASS. On any other network, THE CLASS and JERICHO would be successful enough, but with so few holes in CBS' schedule, SOME shows are going to have to exit so that newcomers can come in. And SMITH is already gone. FOX had a bad fall (again): STANDOFF, VANISHED, TIL DEATH, HAPPY HOUR, and an entertainment-law drama that I can't think of off-hand, nor do i care to even go find out (I mean, is it really worth it since it's been cancelled anyway?). The only show worth coming back is TIL DEATH. I would like to see it paired up with ACTION NEWS to create an EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND-alum hour: Brad Garrett in TIL DEATH and Patricia Healey in ACTION NEWS. At The CW: the newcomer RUNAWAY. Already gone. So overall, not a great year for the nets, with HEROES, UGLY BETTY and SHARK being bright spots.

My connection to UGLY BETTY's Wilemina

2007-02-28T08:36:00.000-08:00

Okay, this one is kind of embarrassing, but here it goes. Back when I was in high school I was discovering my attraction toward guys. It haunted me that I might be gay, so I went through an 8 month period where I did not jack off thinking about guys. Instead, I could only jack off to looking at pictures of women. It would sometimes take me an HOUR to get a hard-on looking at nude girl pix. And the only porn I had access to was the one magazine that my Dad had in his drawer: the infamous Penthouse issue featuring Miss America Vanessa Williams posed on the cover with George Burns. I can still see the future UGLY BETTY actress fully nude and macking with another unknown female actress. I can't tell you the number of times (and HOURS) spent looking at her naked in order to get a boner just to prove that I wasnt gay. WRONG! Not only am I gay, but now its conceivably possible that Miss Williams has seen me naked too. Sure, highly improbable...but still possible. (WINK)

MY FIRST TIME...

2007-02-26T14:07:00.000-08:00

SEEING A MAN'S ASS in a movie: was Peter Gallaghers fine hairy and toned butt (and cock, for that matter) in SUMMER LOVERS. I remember catching it on HBO when the peeps were asleeps. Other childhood butt memories I have are of the Arab prisoner who gets stripped naked, turned over and has his hairy cheeks spread apart in the Diane Keaton movie LITTLE DRUMMER GIRL, the character Meat running naked from the flophouse in PORKY'S, the teens running bare-assed down the street in THE HOLLYWOOD KNIGHTS and Richard Gere showing off his beautiful behind via a jockstrap in LOOKING FOR MR GOODBAR (yet another Diane Keaton movie).

JUICED: THE NEED TO BREED

2007-02-24T17:14:00.001-08:00

It happens in a second.
A thought. A photo. Even one word can trigger It.
Anytime. Anywhere.
It's magical and it's powerful. And perfectly natural.
It's The Need To Breed.
Eight totally raw scenes with 12 totally horny, cum-hungry models. "JUICED: THE NEED TO BREED" is CJ's first all-sex release of cock-sucking, cum-eating, ass-licking, finger-poking, bareback-butt-fucking action.
Sean Storm, Drew Peters, Erik Austin, Colin Knight, John Kelly and Jarred James all have one goal: Each wants to get his butt JUICED! And Brad McGuire, Chris Neal, Kevin Slater, Bo Knight, Aaron Young and Ian Rawlings all have one urge in mind: The Need To Breed! Together, these tops and bottoms come together to create an incredible hardcore masterpiece to be enjoyed over and over and over again.
Do YOU have the Need?

BEST PICTURE pic

2007-02-24T09:05:00.000-08:00

Unfortunately I can't TRULY pick the Best Picture of this year's five nominees because I never got a chance to see BABEL. With that aside, of the other four contenders I would have to name LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA as my favorite. But first, the other 3: I know LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE has all this front-runner buzz going on, but I just fail to see how this movie got to be in this contest at ALL. Yes, it's cute and has some really nice , ahem, little scenes, but the movie didnt make me cry, and as a comedy I sure as heck don't remember laughing all that much. The ending had too much of a Feel-Good vibe going on for it, too. This movie may deserve a Spirit Award, but not an Oscar. And I know it was flawed, but the shut-out DREAMGIRLS was a superior movie to SUNSHINE. Next up: THE DEPARTED. This was a very violent movie, though it was, ahem, executed very well by Scorcese. But again, was it the best picture of the year? Hardly. I reviewed THE DEPARTED a few months back in my blog, by the way. I can't say I was, ahem again, blown away by the movie, but I am okay with it being in the Top Five films. I just don't think it deserves the win. Finally, THE QUEEN. This movie was really entertaining. Director Stephen Frears did an admirable job of handling what could have been caricatures of Tony Blair and Queen E. Instead, I was handed insight, albeit dramatized, into the lives of these larger than life people. I also liked the blending of the real-life footage of Diana and those close to her. It all combined to make an effective time capsule of the tragedy of Diana's death and the media circus that soon followed. Give Mirren the statue, definitely. But the movie just didn't feel BIG or IMPORTANT enough to win Best Picture. That leaves me with my choice: LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA. This movie did the amazing: it actually had me rooting for the "enemy" (the Japanese, circa WW2). Eastwood did an amazing job making me feel for and finally understand that ALL soldiers (be them American, Japanese and, more timely, Middle Eastern) have fears, have families, and have faults. This is the type of movie that we should force our Commanders In Chiefs to watch ad nauseum so that they can GET IT, already! LETTERS was moving, gripping, poignant, refreshing and the Best of the five.

AWESOME BLOG : CHECK IT OUT!

2007-02-24T07:27:00.000-08:00

I just checked out Hollywood Deepthroat's blog: http://hollywooddeepthroat.wordpress.com

A few weeks ago, HD got some of my own blog readers curious as to who he is. So I did some digging of my own and found his site..and LOVED IT! It has the perfect mix of Gay Hollywood (Remember Danny Pintauro of WHO'S THE BOSS? Wanna see him naked?), Gay Porn (it was fun seeing Pete Ross's video clip - who happened to nail my ass raw in San Fran in 2004), and a cool devotion to guys in the biz (even the straight Eric Balfour types).

So if you love Entertainment, and if you love Porn, and if you love Men, check it out.

OK! My Random HOTTIE LIST

2007-02-23T16:03:00.000-08:00

I flipped through the pages of the February 26, 2007 issue of OK! Magazine and chose these guys as HOTTIES:

*"CRASH" co-star Ryan Phillipe (Page 10)
*Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz (Page 11)
*TV Producer David E Kelley (Page 31)
*Greek heir Stavros Niarchos (Page 35)
*"LOST" stud Josh Holloway (Page 35)
*Simon Cowell (Page 47) Just Kidding
*"Entourage" producer Mark Wahlberg (Page 57)
*Lenny Kravitz (Page 67)
*O.C. stud Adam Brody (Page 84)
*The best 007 Daniel Craig (Page 92)
*"The Amityville Horror" hottie Ryan Reynolds (Page 98)

Q: And who of the above would I MOST want to fuck my ass?
A: Ryan Phillipe, followed by Daniel Craig and (un)-wrapped up by Ryan Reynolds

CINDY: "LOST"....and Found!

2007-02-23T11:08:00.000-08:00

After a lackluster Fall, ABC's LOST is slowly gaining some creative traction again. I am still jonesing for more screentime to the original cast, but I have to say that Juliet is a great add. But best of all is the return of one of my favorite characters: flight-attendant Cindy. She was seen in the pilot, then made a brief return in the second season when the Tailies showed up. She then was abducted - never to be seen or heard of again - until last week when she resurfaced. I just hope another year doesn't have to go by before we get a look at Cindy once again.

THE SARAH SILVERMAN PROGRAM...

2007-02-20T05:58:00.000-08:00

Funniest. Show. Ever.
Okay, so maybe I shouldn't say that. I don't want to get a lot of angry posts on why people think it isnt.
Instead: Funnest Show On Television Right Now.
Hmmm..but wait. Someone is probably saying: "I thought Sean said Ugly Betty was the funniest show on television", or "I thought Sean said that How I Met Your Mother was the funniest show on television", or " I thought Sean said that Little Britain was the funniest show on television" (actually that last one was for the funniest sketch comedy show on television).
Perhaps I should just say that THE SARAH SILVERMAN PROGRAM is funny as shit.
There, now no one can argue about THAT. (Um, at least I HOPE).
;-)
SARAH SILVERMAN: COMEDY CENTRAL: THURSDAY NIGHTS!!!!

"SEE YOU LATER, DECORATOR"

2007-02-09T09:32:00.000-08:00

Is exactly what I would have said if BRAVOs TOP DESIGN was a terrible knock-off of it's mother PROJECT RUNWAY. Instead, I am hooked on this reality drama. It's amazing what a better budget can do, since the similarly themed HGTV DESIGN STAR bombed creatively last year. As for Bravo's now-trifecta of reality wonders (RUNWAY and TOP CHEF being the other two), it nearly rivals RUNWAY in entertainment value. The challenges are fun, the judges are inspiring (though none of them are Simon Cowell-mean). I hope host Todd Oldham gets a little more engaging, but for the time being he makes a pleasant Tim Gunn quasi-clone. As of this blog entry, nine designers remain. As each person leaves, the head judge adioses with 'see you later, decorator'. That part is a little cheesy, I admit. But overall TOP DESIGN feeds my jones until PROJECT RUNWAY returns.

ADAM GAY VIDEO DIRECTORY

2007-02-08T17:20:00.000-08:00

THE ADAM GAY VIDEO DIRECTORY
SPECIAL EDITION 2007

Hey everyone! I bet you are surprised to be receiving a STORM ALERT, aren't you? Well, I actually haven't gone anywhere. Instead I have been writing my blog for two-plus years now and I active and proud of my 6-year old Yahoo Fan Group. So instead of writing monthly STORM ALERTS I have instead decided to send the newsletter out on a Need-To-Know basis. And this first issue back is ALL about the recent 2007 Adam Gay Video Directory, which happens to be the bible for porn stars and fans alike.

'STORM SURGE' MAKES HISTORY!
*THE STORM CHRONICLES: EPISODE 3: STORM SURGE just became the FIRST bareback movie to ever be reviewed in the Adam Gay Video Directory. I flipped through the AGVD today and I didn't see any other bareback movie reviewed: just ours! It made me so proud to see it in the pages that the 3 out of 5 stars it received barely registered. To have a bareback movie get this kind of attention is a HUGE breakthrough for performers and studios in this genre. I know its just one movie, but maybe next year it will be five..then maybe ten. Then other deserving bareback studios such as Treasure Island, HDK and Helix can start getting some serious attention to. You see, bareback movies are not looked kindly upon in the condom industry.
*Did you know that bareback movies are not eligible to win awards at the Gay Video News Awards OR The Grabby Awards [But they are eligible to win awards at the European Gay Video Awards, to be handed out in May]
*Did you know that studios such as Titan and Rascal and Michael Lucas won't hire a model if they have done bareback? [This IS starting to change however as more and more popular models are doing both. Soon, there might not be enough condom-only performers to even perform in them]
*Did you know that the trade publication Gay Video News will run bareback movie ads and will list when a bareback title gets released, but they will NOT review and rate them? [Yet straight bareback porn is regularly reviewed and are regularly nominated for awards]
*Again, I am totalllllly happy to have STORM SURGE in the AGVD, and I can appreciate most of the criticism: except for this one item. In the review it is said that at three hours "a bit of pruning would be prudent for future installments" I guess I dont understand this. The reason I made the movie 3 hours was because I thought the value of buying this movie would be more with it with the more content on display. Am I missing something here? I encourage people to email me with their reactions. I mean, do you guys want our movies to be only 90 minutes or 2 hours?

THE AGVD PARADE OF STARS
*The first time I ever referred to myself as a porn star wasn't in 1999 (when I shot Frat Boy Sean & Friends), or even 2000 (the year of Man Academy). Nope, my first self-proclamation of being a porn star was when I saw my pic and bio in the 2001 edition of the AGVD. My ONLY movie released in 2006 was STORM SURGE, so I anticipated not making it in the bible for the first time in 7 years. WRONG AGAIN! Next year won't even be a worry since I will have Centaur's MARINE CRUCIBLE 2 on my resume - even if the AGVD suddenly stops running bareback reviews (I will find out what the reaction to STORM SURGE was and then will share once i find out)
*Every year when I buy the AGVD I like to go through the STARS section and count the number of guys I have had sex with. The number kept getting larger and larger until a couple years ago. Once I started doing all the bareback titles, none of my co-stars were in the directory. So now each year it dwindles. But here they are anyway:
*Joshua Adams (I fisted him in HOLE SWEET HOLE)
*Brendan Austin (We were in the 6-man scene in GAY DREAMS 2)
*Jay Black (He fucked me rooftop in GAY DREAMS 2)
*Michael Brandon (He fucked me like crazy in PARTY IN THE REAR)
*Alex Brawley (He sucked my cock in a scene in DIRECT DEPOSIT)
*Maxx Diesel (He pounded me in TRY ME ON FOR SIZE)
*Brent Everett (He fucked me in the gang bang finale of NAVY BLUES)
*Jason Hawke (He fucked me in SEX PIGS, VOL. 1)
*Bo Knight (He fucks me in the upcoming JUICED)
*Tony Mecelli (He nailed me in THE SEEKER)
*Chris Neal (He fucked me for a rawdition for inclusion in a future CJ MEDIA flick)
*Brad Rock (He fucked me in HARD AS ROCK)
*Pete Ross (He fucked me off-camera once)
*Taurus (He fucked me off-camera once)
[That brings the total to 14 this year. I think it was over 20 last year]

THE AGVD MOVIES
*I only made one movie last year, STORM SURGE, which you already know made into the directory. However, I also made a fisting movie for Raging Stallion called HOLE SWEET HOLE at the end of 2004. The movie was officially released at the end of 2005, making it not available in time to be printed in the 2006 AGVD. This year it made it (look for a photo of me fisting Joshua Adams in the included pic)

AGVD CLASSICS
*Every year the Adam Gay Video Directory lists movies from the last 15 years or so that rate as classics. Here are the movies that I was in that are in their "MUST SEE MOVIES" section:
*Closed Set: The New Crew (MSR: 2002)
*Homecoming (Studio 2000, 2003)
*Man Academy (Centaur: 2000)
*Man Academy 2: Rites of Passage (Centaur: 2002)
*Navy Blues: Deeper in the Brig (Centaur: 2003)
*Open Trench 2: Fuck Fantasies (Sports & Rec: 2002)
*Monster Bang #6: Party In The Rear (Raging Stallion: 2005)
*Sex Pigs, Volume 1 (MSR: 2004)
*The Shaft (Raging Stallion: 2005)
*Tight Ends & Wide Receivers, Part 2 (Centaur: 2001)
[However, it is my belief that the following movies were just as excellent: PLAYING FOR KEEPS, TIGHT ENDS PART 1, and GAY DREAMS 2]

AWARDS:
*There is an extensive list of movies and performers and directors who have won trophies at the Gay Video News Awards, The Grabbys, Men in Video Awards, and the Gay Entertainment Awards. My only trophies from the condom world were for my solo scene in OPEN TRENCH 2: FUCK FANTASIES - where I kinda swept the GVNs, Grabbys and Gay Entertainment Awards that year. I don't anticipate ever being nominated again due to the bareback controversy - but then again I never thought I would ever appear in the AGVD again either]

****************Well guys, that concludes this special Adam Gay Video Directory edition of THE STORM ALERT. Look for the next issue of the ALERT in the next couple months. It will cover my newest releases: JUICED from Cre8tive Juices and MARINE CRUCIBLE 2 from Centaur Films****************************

THREE SUMMER BOOSTS

2007-02-06T09:19:00.000-08:00

Sure, it doesnt hurt that all three shows are quality programs, but I have to wonder if three big-screen hits didn't have something to do with successes of UGLY BETTY, HEROES and the on-going success of SMALLVILLE.

First, UGLY BETTY found it's own tone after the success of the similar themed story of a fish-out-of-the-water girl getting hired on to do assistant work at a high-fashion print magazine. To be fair, UGLY BETTY has been around for a long time in various forms in other countries and was picked up to go to series long before PRADA succeeded at the box office. But PRADA's summer success sure didn't hurt BETTY's mojo when BETTY got the coveted Thursday at 8PM timeslot before GREYS ANATOMY on ABC.

Next, XMEN: THE LAST STAND was a huge box office winner last summer. People's appetite to see normal people with various super powers uniting to fight evil certainly didn't hurt HEROES success. But HEROES ditched the tights and went for realism...and succeeded on its own terms. Also, HEROES had a difficult time slot opposite TWO AND A HALF MEN (the top rated sitcom on television) and PRISON BREAK (the buzzed about FOX show that ditched the prison confines). It also didnt bode well for HEROES that STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP ended up being such a dud for the NBC network. Still, HEROES managed to attract a huge audience, making it one of NBC's biggest success stories in the last 3 years.

Finally, SMALLVILLE continues to do well, though I wonder if SUPERMAN RETURNS had performed better at the box office that SMALLVILLE would be performing better for the CW. But at 200+ million dollars, SUPERMAN RETURNS was hardly a dud. And it's hard to mess with hottie Tom Welling. That stud is super Yum!

THE 2007 EUROPEAN GAY PORN AWARDS

2007-02-04T08:21:00.000-08:00

You learn something new each day, I guess. I had a nice surprise today when I found out that STORM SURGE had been nominated in several EGPA's! I'm not sure when the voting ends, but I went ahead today and logged onto www.europeangaypornawards.com and voted. If you havent had a chance to yet, I encourage you to do the same - if not to support me, but to support the awards themselves. A large number of bareback films are in the running, and this seems to be one of the only venues for bareback films to get any accolades for the work that goes into them. As you may or may not know, the Gay Video News Awards and The Grabby Awards do NOT support bareback films - only the condom flicks. And, unfortunately, Bareback Jack stopped running The Spoogie Awards after the 2004 Bareback Jack Awards were handed out.
So please support the European Gay Porn Awards before they disappear, too.
And, if you were a fan of THE STORM CHRONICLES: EPISODE 3: STORM SURGE for the work that Ian Rawlings and I put into it, I encourage you to give consideration for STORM SURGE in the 8 Awards it is eligible for:

BEST VIDEO (NON-EUROPEAN): STORM SURGE
BEST YOUNG STUD FILM: STORM SURGE
BEST STUD FILM: STORM SURGE
BEST HUNK FILM: STORM SURGE
BEST NEWCOMER: Billy Lee London (STORM SURGE)
BEST TOP: Austin Shadow (STORM SURGE)
BEST BOTTOM: Sean Storm (STORM SURGE)
BEST DIRECTOR: Ian Rawlings/Sean Storm (STORM SURGE)

And also vote for these awards that aren't specific to STORM SURGE:

BEST STUDIO: Cre8tive Juices
LA BRANLETTE D'OR: Sean Storm (This award is presented to an individual who has made an important contribution to gay porn)

THANKS!-Sean

Alexis #2

2007-02-03T07:08:00.000-08:00

UGLY BETTY, already my favorite show on TV, just got a whole lot more fun with the addition of Rebecca Romijn as the transgendered Alexis Mead. HOLY COW - the Fashion Week episode that aired last Thursday was a HOOT from start to finish, and the addition of Alexis brings a whole new level of guilty fun in watching Golden Globe winner UGLY BETTY

Hollywood Deepthroat

2007-02-02T13:44:00.000-08:00

I know the Title to this particular blog entry got at least SOMEONE'S attention.

Now, I don't who Hollywood Deepthroat is, and I certainly don't mean to draw too much attention to him (or her) other than to reveal one of my little obsessions, which is I have this curiosity at times wondering which gay actors have watched me get fuck in one of my films. It's hot to think that Neil Patrick Harris - one of my favorite actors - might actually be a fan of mine right back in return.

But of course it wouldn't make sense for an actor to say he is a fan of mine, even if he is already out of the closet. The fact that the work I do is PORN brings with it perhaps an image-tarnishing. And I TOTALLY understand all that. But it's still hot as hell for me to know - or at least fantasize - that a popular actor might have seen me doing the nasty on film. After all - celebrities are people, too. And we ALL have to pop a load SOME time.

So thanks, Hollywood Deepthroat, for being the catalyst to my little 'reveal'.

Hi Julie!!!! Okay...TOP CHEF time!

2007-02-02T07:39:00.000-08:00

So who is Julie you ask? Well, she is someone who found my Blog just when TOP CHEF was ending and PROJECT RUNWAY 3 was beginning. We bonded on that issue,, and I just wanted to say hello and talk about the winner of TOP CHEF 2.

I have to admit I cheated with TC2. I watched the first 2 episodes and then picked it up again during the final 3, which culminated in the win of Ilan. I was soooo frickin disappointed. I wanted Marcel to take it home. Granted, I didnt see him until the end, but of the two I thought Marcel was far more poised than Ilan. Ilan couldnt get enough of taking Marcel down, even smiling with glee when he almost got to pee on Marcel's hand following a fish-sting bite in Hawaii. Marcel was also subjected to physical harrassment when a few of the chefs joked about shaving his hair off. Poor Marcel! I guess I also love an underdog story..and Marcel seemed to be getting picked on by everyone else (again, remember, i didnt see the episodes in the middle so i dont know how much of the harassment Marcel indeed had coming to him)

But on the challenge alone, I feel Marcel stepped out of the box, whereas Ilan played it safe.

In any event, it's over. TOP CHEF 3 has been ordered, by the way.

I Heart Becki and Michael

2007-01-31T07:33:00.000-08:00

Sure, America Ferrara and Vanessa Williams are WONDERFUL in ABC's UGLY BETTY, but equally great to me are newcomers Becki Newton and Michael Juri as image-obsessed catty Kathy's AMANDA and MARC. This duo is my new JACK and KAREN. They have a great wicked camraderie together. Every scene they are in they bring some of the best line deliveries and facial expressions of any new TV characters of the season. In fact, I absolutely LOVE IT when Amanda does her little purring. It's a character trait she has made her own - I love to hate to love her. She isnt pure evil - but she is FAR from being angelic. Whenever she doesnt something aweful, she can usually follow it up with a tic or expression that signifies an underlying pain. As for Marc - sure, he is a stereotype at times and doesn't portray gay men necessarily positively - but HELL TO ALL THE PC CRAP! People like MARC DO exist, and he's damn spot-on in the role. LOVE YA, MICHAEL! And love ya, too, Becki! Keep it Ugly, guys!

PAN'S LABYRINTH

2007-01-31T07:18:00.000-08:00

Thank you, Clint Eastwood! By entering your foreign langueage film LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA into the Best Film Oscar category, you have given PAN'S LABYRINTH it's best shot yet of winning in the Best Foreign Language Film category. I was enthralled by PAN in the theater. It is a beautiful adult fantasy tale, albeit a violent one more often than not. By juxtaposing the violence with the fantasy, viewers are left on edge...which makes the fantasy elements all the more wonderous when they show up on screen. I am not a huge fan of war violence, and PAN has plenty of death. But the film stands strong on the fantasy...in fact, one of the creepiest moments is the little heroine being chased by The Pale Face creature. TRULY SPOOKY - yet beautiful at the same time. Go 'PAN'!!!!! I'll be rootin' for ya' on The Big Night! A-

GREASE:You're The One That I Want

2007-01-30T13:34:00.001-08:00

Is anyone else hooked by this new NBC Sunday reality show? I was going to watch American Idol this year, but since there has been so much press on how nasty teh judges are being I have decided instead to devote my MUSIC REALITY time to Grease. It's pretty addictive! I am also going to be loving TOP DESIGN, which starts tomorrow night on Bravo. And coming up I will be giving RULES OF ENGAGEMENT a tryout on CBS, THE DRESDEN FILES on Sci-Fi, THE SARAH SILVERMAN PROGRAM on Comedy Central and EXTRAS on HBO.

Where In The World Is Sean Storm???

2007-01-30T13:28:00.000-08:00

Sorry for the delayed entry. I had a computer crash a few weeks back. I just recently got a new one and am back among the blogging.

Work continues on JUICED. We decided to add one more scene. We didnt have a cover model yet, so we found him, but then we needed to actually PUT him in the movie (otherwise it would have been misleading to show a model on a cover who doesnt appear in the movie). We will be filming this model in the next couuple of weeks for JUICED.

MARINE CRUCIBLE 2 has been shot and will soon be edited for a release from Centaur Films.

That's the news from the Porn side of things! Sorry again for not getting blogged sooner.

OH..and I might be getting a MySpace page up and running soon, too.

ERAGON

2006-12-29T06:48:00.000-08:00

I'm a big fan of dragon movies (with DRAGONSLAYER, DRAGONHEART #1 and the dragon scene in HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE being my favorites..until now, that is). ERAGON is a big-budget dragon-lovers goldmine, even though it's execution, at times, feels like it could have used a little more time or more of a budget in post-production. Still, as dragon movies go (and lets face it: Sci-Fi Channel may TRY to make good dragon movies, but they just don't measure up in the end), ERAGON has a bute of a specimen, voiced by Academy Award winner Rachel Weisz. For those who don't know, ERAGON was written by Chris Paolini when he was just 15 years old. A second book is on shelves now, with the concluding chapter of the trilogy still being written. I havent read the books, and glad i hadn't when I saw the movie. I went with Ian Rawlings, who had read the book, and he was SUPREMELY upset with the film adaptation. As with lots of book-to-film projects, entire sections are left out and even rewritten to fit into a 2 hour piece of work. So I got to see the movie as just what it was, and I give ERAGON a B-

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM

2006-12-29T06:40:00.000-08:00

In the tradition of JUMANJI and ZATHURA comes another similar-themed tale of beasts, warriors and other items of interest coming to life and chasing main characters around a set piece for nearly two hours. But what the first two movies lacked was pure in-your-face comedy- the kind provided by the likes of Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Robin Williams (oh wait...Sir Robin was also in JUMANJI). Now to MUSEUM: the plot, in a nutshell, is Ben becomes the night watchman at a Natural History Museum in New York City where, after midnight, all the displays come to life until sunrise. Mixing themes of father/son bonding, getting the girl, making peace between display items such as cowboys and Romans with high-concept adventure, MUSEUM takes a bit of time to draw you in, but once it does the movie gets better and better exponentially up until the very end. Oh, and Dick Van Dyke gives his best performance in years (not that he's exactly been much since MATLOCK)...but what a treat it must be for him to see himself doing Matrix-like fight moves with Stiller in the finale. As movies go, NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM doesn't achieve anything brilliant, not that it's even attempting to. Instead, looked at as pure Xmas escapism, the movie's a blast. B

BEST OF TV 2006: 5-1

2006-12-28T12:44:00.000-08:00

NUMBER FIVE: HEROES (NBC): All the attention seemed to be focused on STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP on Mondays on NBC when the fall season began. But out of left field came this multi-character hero ensemble (though the success of XMEN and SUPERMAN RETURNS had to have some sort of effect). Each week I become more and more engrossed in this great-looking series. What is even more cool is that the series is very much an adult show and not some kiddie-knockoff. I mean, where else on network or cable television do you get a superhero show that isnt afraid to show people get their skulls sliced clean open one moment and making jokes about jumping into the time/space continuum the next? NUMBER FOUR: LITTLE BRITAIN (BBCAmerica): This import is the funniest sketch comedy show EVER! And that's saying a LOT coming from the guy who's been a fan of Saturday Night Live for 25 years out of its 32-year existence. I have seasons 1 and 2 on DVD and the third season was just released. I am waiting for new episodes to arrive on BBCAmerica. And for optimistic gays: the two lead men who headline the show just got married in real-life. NUMBER THREE: UGLY BETTY (ABC): I had high hopes for BETTY when she premiered in early October, but I had NO clue the show would capture my attention the way it has. First, the look of BETTY has a style all it's own: which is no wonder since the backdrop of the show takes place in a high-fashion magazine world. Second, the blending of comedy and drama is picture-perfect, and the casting of America Ferrara in the lead, and Eric Mabius and Vanessa Williams was nothing short of brilliant. Kudos also to the actors who play the snob receptionist and the gay assistant: I can't remember their names this year, but will surely know them by heart come next year. UGLY BETTY has a strong gay following, and it's surprise why: fashion seems to be in vogue with fag boys everywhere. Just witness: NUMBER ONE: PROJECT RUNWAY (Bravo): Yes, the best show on TV doesnt appear on the Big Five network schedules, but rather on the cable outlet Bravo. This, along with QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY has put Bravo on the map, and with TOP CHEF and TOP DESIGNER picking up the audience leftover between RUNWAY cycles, Bravo shouldnt be losing any steam anytime soon. I dont know when the 4th round of RUNWAY will begin, but I am certainly jonesing for it. My favorite season is Numero Uno, just because it was new and my little secret. The best CAST though is season 2 (Go Daniel V and Andre and sexy Nick!). And it just goes to show you how great a show like PR is when a HORRIBLE season 3 couldnt even stop me from ranking PROJECT RUNWAY as THE BEST SHOW OF 2006! Bravo, INDEED!

BEST OF TV 2006: 10-6

2006-12-28T09:47:00.000-08:00

NUMBER 10: LOST (ABC): This show probably had the biggest fall from grace for me this year. The first 6 episodes focused almost entirely on Jack, Sawyer, Kate and The Others - leaving very little screen time for some of my favorite Losties on the main island. Personally, I could care less about who Kate wants to bone her, nor do I care to see these main characters constantly locked up behind bars and locked into underwater tanks. I also don't want to spend half of my hour in flashbacks. What I DO want is to see this story move forward more quickly. Because if it doesn't, shows like fast-paced shows like HEROES will continue to drive LOST further and further away from my interest. NUMBER 9: DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES (ABC): The novelty of the first season is over...and the nauseum of the second season has subsided. That leaves a wonderful return to form for season three. I have enjoyed DH a lot this year so far, and the only reason it has slipped is because of my desire to promote some great new shows that premiered on the tele this season. So unlike LOST, which I found reasons to complain about, I can't find much at all from Desperate Housewives to complain about. GO BREE! NUMBER 8: SMALLVILLE (The CW): Here's one of those Better-Late-Then-Never shows that I discovered. SMALLVILLE is now in its 6th year, but I just recently got into it after buying the first 3 seasons on DVD. Now I know what all the fuss is about. Tom Welling is BEYOND hot, and the show does an excellent job of creating new interesting stores while continuing to stay faithful to the mythology of Superman. NUMBER 7: VERONICA MARS (The CW): Here is a close runner -up to LOST in the "Losing Interest" department. After two excellent years in high school, Veronica lost her mo-jo when she went to college. The Campus Rapist storyline just ended (YEE-HAW), so here's hoping to a better, more intelligent Second Big Mystery. The fans DESERVE it. NUMBER 6: SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE (NBC): Even though the show is in another creative slump, 32 years is hard to just ignore. True fans of SNL already know that there will forever be creative bumps..that's why we stick them out until the Next Great Ensemble comes together. Already, Andy Samberg is one of my all-time favorite performers, and Amy Poehler is doing some of the best work of her career (whew: Nancy GRACE is spot on). The SNL DIGITAL SHORTS are modern masterpieces and I am looking forward to getting the compilation disc when it comes out. Until then, SNL SEASON 1 found its way into my stocking over XMAS and I will be watching the classics right along with the new output.

BEST OF TV 2006: 15-11

2006-12-24T14:21:00.000-08:00

NUMBER 15: SOUTH PARK (Comedy Central): It's hard to believe that the best cartoon comedy is over 10 years old now (Sorry, SIMPSONS...and FAMILY GUY, and KING OF THE HILL..and the other FOX cartoons). It's SOUTH PARK that keeps me in stitches..it also helps that SOUTH PARK is the most timely: the creators can take a current controversial topic and get an episode about it on the air in weeks (witness the hilarious OFFING of Chef this year). I also enjoyed the recent episode of Mr Garrison getting fucked in all his glory on cable. Bravo! NUMBER 14: 30 ROCK (NBC): I started this fall season with my highest hopes set on STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP because I am a HUGE HUGE HUGE SNL fan. But after two episodes, I tuned STUDIO 60 out. Instead, 30 ROCK was the pleasant surprise of the season. Tina Fey's comedy gets better and better every week...and Alec Baldwin is my comedy idol. He blows most other SNL guest hosts out of the park, and is the perfect fit to this SNL-friendly cast (Rachel Dratch, Tracy Morgan). Now that 30 ROCK is part of the revamped MUST-SEE TV (joining THE OFFICE, MY NAME IS EARL and SCRUBS), let's hope the rest of America soon discovers 30 ROCK, too. NUMBER 13: THE CLASS (CBS): yeah, this show was a disappointment, but it still makes me laugh consistently. It was picked up for a full season, albeit a shortened one (19 episodes instead of the standard 22), which worries me that CBS won't bring it back for season 2. But hey, that's life, and THE CLASS celebrates it with hardy-har-heart. NUMBER 12: MADTV (Fox): It's official: the latest cast ensemble has grown on me enough to watch it regularly again. I was MORE than a little sad after Stephanie Weir and Mo Collins left the show in recent years. It's always been the women that have made MADTV so much fun (and the brilliant Michael McDonald), but HELL if Bobby Lee is the funniest damn comic out there. He is fearless in his attempts to make you laugh (which regularly mean having the guy drop his pants and show his family jewels whenever possible. In fact, a recent skit mocked fun at how addicted Bobby Lee is with his nudism). NUMBER 11: ENTOURAGE (HBO): Let's hear it for the boys! Week in and week out, Adrien Grenier and his posse make LA look horrible and fun at the same time. And Emmy winner Jeremy Piven can blow his load up my ass anytime he wishes (which to him is probably never, but I don't care). The rest of Season 3 concludes in early 2007, and then it's season 4 later on down the road.

BEST TV 2006: 20-16

2006-12-24T14:07:00.000-08:00

Here are my 20 favorite TV shows of 2006. It is an account of shows that are currently in production (though not necessarily currently on the air), which is why we see PROJECT RUNWAY, but not WILL & GRACE. I have blocked things into 4 groupings: here are the slots occupied by 20 through 16. NUMBER 20: THE ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW (syndicated): I tried to get into Megan Mullaly and Rachael Ray, but it was Ellen's show that consistently entertained me and made me laugh. Her show is the perfect program to watch while sweating my ass crackoff on the treadmill. ....NUMBER 19: EUREKA! (Sci-Fi): In 2007 Sci-Fi delivers us THE DRESDEN FILES, based on the books of everyone's favorite wizard/private eye hybrid. I am looking forward to it, but for 2006, I got my Sci-Fi fix by watching the quirky EUREKA. I find Colin Ferguson to be a perfect speciman of a man: he makes me hard as he makes me laugh...PERFECTO! Anyone who has seen DIRECT DEPOSIT, HOLE MILK or STORM SURGE already knows that I like a little humor with my boner. I will admit that the quality of the Eureka's were a hit and miss, episodically. But with a greenlight for season 2, I am hoping the producers will fix what's broken. And this show DOES have some broken parts...but since it IS about inventions, I have complete faith that all will be well again in summer 2007. And before anyone nails me for not mentioning BATTLESTAR GALACTICA on my Top 20 list, it's ONLY because I have yet to see the series. I know it's getting great reviews, and maybe I will start viewing BG next year. NUMBER 18: SCRUBS (NBC): This is year 6, and it's as brilliant as ever. I totally dig the tone of the show: quirky, comedic, and at times dramatic. By now, I know the characters, and Zach Braff is a brilliant talent (GARDEN STATE, anyone?). Hospital shows have always been hard for me to stomach (chalk it up to a year as a nurses aid en route to a failed attempt at a nursing career for me back in 1996), so that's why you won't find ER, HOUSE or the very good GREY'S ANATOMY on my Top 20 List. NUMBER 17: CAMPUS LADIES (Oxygen): Season 2 just kicked off, and it's just as funny as season 1, if not funnier. ANYONE who has ever gone to college and lived in the dorms will appreciate CAMPUS LADIES: it nails it..a believable dorm comedy. I went to Eastern Illinois University from 1988 to 1993 and lived in Taylor Hall and I was involved in campus and hall government. This show takes me back to that time in my life. YEAH! NUMBER 16: GREG THE BUNNY (Independent Film Channel): One of my favorite TV ON DVD discoveries a couple years ago was FOX's too-soon-to-be-canned GREG THE BUNNY with Seth Green. Little did I know that GREG first started out on IFC, and right now is enjoying a third round of independent film spoofs. It's a great way for me to enjoy new content of Greg (and knowing that he isn't just a sock getting moldy on a shelf some where makes me sleep better at night). On IFC, Greg gets to get high, say the F-word and show some flesh (both male and female), on a regular basis. It's 15 minutes of pure entertainment every week (and you can familiarize yourself with Greg with both the FOX show and the IFC originals, all out on DVD)

MARINE CRUCIBLE 2

2006-12-12T10:32:00.000-08:00

I just finished filming my 3-way sex scene for my next Centaur movie two weeks ago. Last weekend I did some B-roll leading into a 5-man orgy scene, and there is a chance I will be involved in one more scene for the movie when production resumes after the holiday. It was great to get to be back in front of the cameras for a major condom film release. The last condom film I shot was THE SHAFT for Raging Stallion back in September of 2004. I have never liked the idea of certain studios and directors black-listing models if the model was found out to have done a bareback movie, so from a political standpoint I will do my best to get at least one condom film out per year: just to show models, studios and directors that the head honchos at the studios can not and WILL NOT control my career. Studios that have an anti-bareback policy in place are TITAN, Lucas Films and Chi Chi La Rue's Channel One Releasing and the ilk. I BELIEVE Falcon has reversed their anti-bareback policy, though I am not certain. Most, if not all, of the other condom studios freely employ both bareback and condom only models...with Raging Stallion and Centaur Films being the two studios that have actively hired me AFTER I have done my bareback films.

R.I.P. Andy Dill

2006-12-12T10:29:00.000-08:00

I was saddened last week at the passing of my GAY DREAMS 2 screen partner Andy Dill of meningitis in San Francisco. Andy and I had GREAT chemistry on the set. He not only got my cock bone hard, but when we weren't bumping our privates together, he had me laughing at his sense of humor. I think I am still in a bit of shock here... I will miss him dearly.

MARCUS ALLEN: The Latest...

2006-12-01T09:34:00.000-08:00

Man tells family he killed for cashBy Howard Pankratz Denver Post Staff WriterArticle Last Updated:11/29/2006 06:10:31 PM MSTTimothy John Boham was being sought by Denver police in connection with the murder on Monday, Nov. 13, 2006 of John Kelso. (Denver Police)A male model who acted in gay sex movies told his family he killed Denver businessman John "JP" Kelso because he wanted the $100,000 to $400,000 Kelso kept in his household safe, according to court documents. Timothy J. Boham, 25, said he planned to use the money to go to South America with his girlfriend, he told his mother and sister shortly after the shooting, the records allege. But he said his plan went awry when Kelso refused to open the safe, and there was a brief struggle during which he accidentally shot Kelso, according to the records. Boham told his family that when he cut the safe open it was empty and "so he had done this for nothing," according to a police affidavit. A subdued Boham appeared in Denver County Court on Wednesday where he waived the reading of the charges against him, which include first-degree murder and aggravated robbery. His preliminary hearing was set for mid-January. Police were called to Kelso's home in the 3600 block of East Seventh Avenue on Nov. 13 by one of Kelso's employees who said he had found Kelso in the bathtub. Kelso had a gunshot wound to the head, police said. Kelso was founder of Professional Recovery Systems, a Denver collection agency. Boham was one of Kelso's employees. Police said in the affidavit for Boham's arrest that friends and co-workers told them Kelso had, in the past, hired male escorts to whom he presented gifts. The co-workers believed that Kelso had developed a relationship with Boham, the affidavit said. Police were able to track Boham with the help of Katherine Boham, Boham's sister, and his mother, Susan Stone, who called police after they had talked to Boham. They told investigators that Boham told them he was going to Mexico and gave officers Boham's cell-phone number. Authorities were able to track the phone to Phoenix and then into Mexico. On Nov. 14, Denver Detective Randy Denison received a phone call from Boham, who had called the detective at the urging of his mother. Court documents said that during the conversation, Boham admitted shooting Kelso during a robbery attempt. He also told Denison that he had disposed of bloody clothing and handcuffs in a creek in southeast Denver and that he had thrown away the safe, jewelry and a gun just off a trail near Sedalia. Boham was arrested Nov. 16 near the Mexican border in Arizona by customs officers.

HAPPY FEET

This CGI movie may not be the best film of it's type on the market, but it's certainly not the worst either. I can't say there is TOO much of a plot, but there ARE a lot of singing and dancing penguins on display. It's definitely a feel-good movie, but it's not exactly Masterpiece Theater. B-

Marcus Allen arrested for Murder

2006-11-25T14:04:00.000-08:00

Okay, so real life isn't always pretty. I am not sure if anyone knows or not, but last week gay porn star Marcus Allen was arrested for murdering a gay business owner in Denver. Back in 2003, Marcus Allen shot his first gay adult film: THE HOMECOMING, and I was the first guy he had sex with on film. So it came as a BIG surprise when I read the news that a guy who once had his dick up my ass might have murdered another guy. On the set, Marcus wasn't easy to work with. He and I had no connection, and it was a difficult scene to finish. That same day the Space Shuttle Discovery blew up, so I was already on edge. But I did my job, got paid, and went home. Fast forward to last week and now Marcus will be going to trial for murder. Holy Crap!

MY TV TOP 5: Revisited

2006-11-22T07:10:00.000-08:00

Okay, the fall season has ended and we are now moving into the holidays (which means lots of repeats and lots of Xmas specials) before the midseason replacements show up in January. I thought I would take a moment and let you know what I am liking and what I am not. But first: MY TOP FIVE SHOWS ON TV: 1. DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES (ABC). This show reinvented itself this season, leading up to the amazing Hostage Episode in November that claimed Nora. The season-long mystery in year 3 isn't as intriguing as Season 1, but it sure as hell victors over Season 2's Basement Lock-up storyline. If I had to gripe about anything it would be that I am tiring of the Susan/Mike storyline. But Bree is having a GREAT year (again).....2. UGLY BETTY (ABC). America Ferrara is fantastic in the lead. What sets this show apart is it's visual panache. The Mode Magazine people and their clothes aren't just beautiful, but the set pieces themselves offer scrumptious eye candy. And Vanessa Williams is PERFECTLY cast as Wilhemina. One hour comedies are rare, and the fact that my top 2 favorite shows are hour-long comedies is rarer still. 3. HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER (CBS). I refused to even watch this show last year. I guess the title didn't jump out at me, or whatever. But I was on board with MOTHER since episode 1 of Season 2, and it's so frickin funny. If you loved FRIENDS, this is the best closest thing like it on TV to fill that void. Season 1 is out on DVD today. 4. HEROES (NBC). I grow more addicted to HEROES each and every week. It's a surprisingly mature approach to superheros. Seriously, when you watch HEROES you have to be prepared to see people with their heads carved open and their brains spilling out, people getting their skull impaled by a knife-sharp twig, sternums being pried open, etc. etc.....okay, but dont let that put you off (or, turn you on, in some cases)....the show has amazing visuals. It also keeps the action moving along, unlike..... 5. LOST (ABC). This show USED to be my favorite, but I think I am getting bored with it. I mean, is anyone else tired of the flashbacks? They were used to good effect in the first 2 seasons when we didn't know who these people were. But in season 3 we have a pretty good idea who everyone is. So whereas in the past each flashback fleshed out a character, in season 3 the flashbacks just get in the way of moving the present day story ahead. I mean, SIX EPISODES aired in the fall season. And WHAT really happened exactly? Jack, Sawyer and Kate are STILL locked away on that second OTHERS island, and everyone else gets about 2 minutes of airtime each week. I feel like it's been ages since I've seen Charlie, Claire, Sun, Jin, Hurley....seriously, LOST needs to get back in the game. Or maybe I want the show to lose even more viewers. That way, once ABC loses enough viewers to the point where they cancel it, we will then get all our answers resolved. Okay, maybe I DONT want that to happen, but I don't see why the producers can't do a better job with Bigger Reveals. So WHAT if we they tell us what the Big Mysteries are all about. I'll STILL watch the show. The castaways can STILL be lost on the island even if they know what's going on. Further, NEW mysteries can always turn up , too. Writers are talented people...RESOLVE some things already, people! Then get on with NEW mysteries. Because I'm F*R*U*S*T*R*A*T*E*D!........okayyyyyy...so, what shows disappointed me this year (and, no, I STILL LOVE LOST): THE CLASS (CBS). I had really high hopes for this show. It was cute in the beginning, but after a few viewings I noticed that there were only a few of the 3rd-grade classmates that I really liked. And LIKING your Friends, er, Class, is important, ya know? I think to save this show, some of the mates have to go: namely the gay guy. God, he ANNOYS me with his whiny voice and selfish ways. I could NEVER date a guy like that. And even the blonde newscaster with her daughter Oprah needs to be axed, too. UNFORTUNATELY that would mean the demise of the show's best character: the blondes "so gay he doesnt even know it" husband. Okay, so who DO I like? Easy: Jason Ritter is cute and funny. And his bantering with Lizzy Caplan is growing on me. Lizzy frustrated the HELL out of me in the beginning, but she is starting to become infectious. Her wheelchair-bound sister is also sweet and original, but the red head who she is falling in love with gives me the major creeps. And that leaves the best part of THE CLASS: Andrea ("JOEY") Anders and the carpenter guy. They are sweet and HOT (think Rachel and Joey). But it may be too late: the show is underperforming on the number one network on TV (CBS), and that means it's easy candidate for cancellation........STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP and 30 ROCK (NBC). Neither show lived up to the hype, with STUDIO 60 being the more obvious BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. To be fair, I have tuned into the show since Episode 3. I just grew too tired of it. The head writer takes it ALL too seriously, and the 'funny' skits that we see aren't even funny. They make the SNL skits they are based upon look Shakespearean. Still, if you are one of the STUDIO 60 fans you will be happy to know that NBC picked the show up for a full season. Somehow I don't see the same thing happening to 30 ROCK. It failed when paired with TWENTY GOOD YEARS, but performed even poorer when moved to Thursdays opposite GREYS ANATOMY and CSI. I know NBC is trying to rebuild it's Must See TV Thursday comedy block, but its a little too little and a little too late. NBC's best bet is to create a new 4-comedy block on a different night, because lets face it: NBC just doesnt have the momentum on Thursays anymore. .....JERICHO (CBS). I never really DISLIKED this show. In fact, I may have given up on it too soon. I hear that it has gotten better in recent weeks, and its doing great for CBS in it's timeslot. But I would be lost to tune in now. So I am going to wait until the First Season DVD comes out and watch it then.......VERONICA MARS (The CW). I don't know what's quite not right this year, but my beloved VERONICA MARS is no longer the slick, enjoyable, entertaining crime caper that I had fallen in live with from Years 1 and 2. I went to a public university, so i dont know if Hearst College is representative of a small college, but I just don't feel the vibe of her being in school. And where has Mac (Tina Majorino) been? I still support the show, but it no longer demands my immediate attention. In fact, I have 2 episodes sitting on my TiVo right now that (eventually) I will get to. Good News, though: VERONICA MARS IS up 7 percent from last season, and The CW just picked it up for a full season. .....TOP CHEF (Bravo): I guess food just isn't as exciting as designing dresses. I think I will wait for Season 4 of PROJECT RUNWAY (or Season 1 of TOP DESIGNER) before committing to another Bravo Reality Show.

TV TOP FIVE: Revisited

2006-11-21T13:04:00.000-08:00

Come Out, Come Out, Whoever You Are

2006-11-21T13:02:00.000-08:00

It's refreshing to see the number of celebrities who have announced their homosexuality in recent weeks: Lance Bass ('N Sync), T.R. Knight (Grey's Anatomy), Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother), and now Kristanna Loken (Terminator 3) and her girlfriend Michelle Rodriguez (Lost)

Confused

2006-11-21T07:33:00.000-08:00

In recent months, Mel Gibson ranted some anti-semitic remarks while drunk and, just a few days ago, Michael Richards from SEINFELD saw his career take a nose-dive (well, his career was already dried up to begin with) when he shouted 'Nigger' ad nauseum to a couple of black guys at a Laugh Factory concert. BOTH instances are appalling, and I wont see a Mel Gibson movie ever again. As for Kramer, I am broken-hearted at this man's abuse of his platform to shout out this hatred to a live audience. And I am sure that most of you (Indeed, I would hope ALL of you) would agree with me. But now comes the CONFUSION for me: a few weeks ago Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey got into a fight on the set of GREY'S ANATOMY after Isaiah threw out the word 'Faggot' (relating to TR KNIGHT recently coming out of the closet). The altercation got press, Wash apologized, and the producers didn't fire Mr Washington for his actions. Now, hmmmm.... what's wrong with this picture? With Mel and Kramer, the press went wild with "their careers are over...they're done, finished...or in the very least, they will have to do some major PR work to overcome this". And I agree, when you call someone a 'Nigger', you abuse the very being of that person. It's fueled by hatred, pure and simple. But when you call someone a 'Faggot', you are ALSO abusing the very being of a person, and hatred is still at the fore. So I ask: Why did Washington get away with it? Why isnt HIS career over? Is it MORE acceptable to call people a 'faggot' than it is to call them a 'nigger'? In my opinion, they are both equally offensive. Even typing the word 'faggot' and 'nigger' makes me cringe. SO....if Mel Gibson and Michael Richards are going to have to own up to their verbal assaults, then I say Isaiah Washington must, too. Okay, I will get off my soapbox. I apologize if this entry bothered anyone, but I just had to get it off my chest, because it pisses me off for ANYONE to be called names based on their sex, religion, race, body shape, height, etc.

KANYE WEST: BOO!

2006-11-15T11:31:00.000-08:00

Is it just me, or is anyone else amazed at how large Kanye West's ego has become? He joins Mel Gibson on my growing list of artists that I refuse to support (by watching their movies or buying their CD's). I already knew Kanye West had a big ego, but he just knocked out of the park by his recent storming of the stage at the MTV Europe Music Awards. Artist JUSTICE VS. SIMIAN won for Best Video for "We Are Your Friends". As he accepted his award Kanye took the stage and interrupted the winner's moment in the limelight by saying how his "Touch The Sky" video deserved to win. REGARDLESS, DUDE! YOU LOST! GET OVER IT! AND GET OVER YOURSELF! By doing what you did, you look like a fool, you made the WINNER's moment not his own, and YOU end up becoming a bigger LOSER than you were before you opened your mouth. Umm, Kanye WHO???

SNL comes to DVD

2006-11-14T13:58:00.000-08:00

On December 5th, one of my dreams is finally coming true. The entire first season of Saturday Night Live is being released on DVD, shown in their complete 90 minute entireties. The complete second season of SNL is also coming out that same day. For me, i have been a fan of SNL since the early 80s, when I was permitted to stay up late and watch it. I have never seen the original shows in their entirety except for the 1 hour condensed versions seen on Comedy Central and E! So I am indeed very excited for the opportunity to get to see the 'classic years'. Ultimately I am looking forward to the Eddie Murphy years most. To date, SNL has released Best Of compilations of their famous stars and hosts. FINALLY the 'real deal' is coming!

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER: Best Comedy!

2006-11-14T07:31:00.000-08:00

Which, I know, isn't saying much when there are so few comedies even currently running on the Big Five anymore. But after watching the "SWARLEY" episode - with it's Crazy Eyes storyline - I laughed my ASS off (and I was in a piss poor mood before watching the episode). The jolts of laughter were well-needed, and I had to reflect: i don't think I have yet to see a BAD episode of this under-appreciated sitcom. Maybe with Neil Patrick Harris coming out of the closet last week there will be a curiousity factor for new audiences to tune in. I can only hope so! I LOVE THIS SHOW, and I hope you will give it a shot, too. It's brilliant! So the best HOUR LONG comedies on TV: UGLY BETTY and DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. And the best HALF HOUR comedies on TV: just one: HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. (Though THE OFFICE and MY NAME IS EARL are certainly well-done, too: They just arent my favorites)

WHITNEY

2006-11-07T15:42:00.000-08:00

Just saw some recent photos of Whitney Houston in the current issue of OK! magazine. She is looking amazing, and my prayers go out to her that her recovery from drug addiction is a successful one. But MOST importantly, I hope her co-dependency on Bobby Brown is over. It's hard enough for one addict to recover, but when you are recovering with another addict, it becomes increasingly hard (especially when the other has a relapse and pressures you to join in). Trust me, I know.

3 Reasons to watch DAY BREAK: And 3 Reasons Why Not

2006-11-07T06:06:00.000-08:00

ABC has a new show starting November 15 called DAY BREAK. I am on the cuff about committing to it, but there is one very big reason TO watch that overrides everything else: TAYE DIGGS. This man is a GOD in my book. I fell in love with him when he guest starred on WILL & GRACE last year. And I have wanted to carry his babies ever since. The second reason to watch is because there isn't anything else to watch in it's timeslot. LOST is vacating the hour until February, so give it a try. The third reason to watch is because of it's unique GROUNDHOG DAY hook. Taye has to relive the same day over and over. It will run 13 weeks, and if it survives all 13 weeks the day WILL END, promises producers. If DAY BREAK comes back for season 2,, a new day will have dawned. So...in our ever-serialized tv landscape, THIS show will have a resolution at the end of the season, a la FOX's 24. Okay, so that's 3 reasons to watch. And here are 3 reasons not to watch: First, the show has a serialized format, and in a season that has seen KIDNAPPED, RUNAWAY, VANISHED and others like them disappear quicker than Free Bareback Porn, will DAY BREAK's resolution ever see the light of, well, day. Second, actually there IS something else to do during the show's timeslotted hour at 9 PM Eastern Time Wednesday nights: CBS's CRIMINAL MINDS. The uberviolent procedural has been edging out LOST in the ratings this year, and with the flop THE NINE following DAY BREAK, there really isn't a hit show to draw people to the network for the night. Third, can the idea of living the same day OVER and OVER and OVER again keep viewers intrigued without growing stale and boring. So weighing the pros and cons to DAY BREAK, I have to give the show a shot: after all, I want those babies!

Review: MARIE ANTOINETTE

2006-11-05T20:12:00.000-08:00

Now THIS is the kind of period piece type of movie that I can enjoy. What makes Sofia Coppola's film so unique is that it juxtaposes the etiquette of the time period with music from the 80's, and the result is surprisingly effective. For most of the film, MARIE ANTOINETTE is treated as a whimsical comedy, with Kristen Dunst and Jason Schwartzman speaking with their own American accents. One of my favorite moments is when the decandent cookies, pies, pastries and whatnot of the day are presented MTV-style to the tune of Bow Wow Wow's I WANT CANDY. This is an indie art ful (that was booed when screened at Cannes earlier this year), and as such I have to grade it on those merits. Maybe it's not as refined or polished as a big studio commercial film might be, but therein lies more of the charm of this underdog. I guess you either will love it or loathe it. I loved it. A-

TIM BURTON'S A NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS - IN 3D

2006-11-05T07:37:00.000-08:00

Ready for a new theater-going experience? Then check out the 3D updating of A NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. The 3d is advanced, the glasses are ACTUAL glasses instead of the red and blue cardboard pieces of crap from yesteryear, and the whole event had me giddy in the aisles. Disney is releasing another movie in digital 3d in 2007, and I have to say that, if this all proves successful, the future of 3d movies is here. THE MOVIE: B+; THE 3D EXPERIENCE WITH THE MOVIE: PRICELESS.

Show Me THE BUNNY!

2006-11-01T13:05:00.000-08:00

I just had two items of interest come my way last night. FIRST, one of my favorite socks, Greg The Bunny, is coming back for another round of movie spoofs at the Independent Film Channel starting in mid-November. I first fell in love with Greg when I bought GREG THE BUNNY-THE COMPLETE SERIES on DVD 2 years ago. Then last year IFC delivered a batch of Greg The Bunny movie spoofs (which were just released on DVD last week). The second batch of movie spoofs begins with the spoof of Charlize Theron's MONSTER..............The second bit of awesome news is Bravo just announced that TOP DESIGNER debuts in 2007. This reality show is hosted by Todd Oldham and comes from the same producers who delivered PROJECT RUNWAY and TOP CHEF (how's that, Julie?)

My Ass Is Getting JUICED!

2006-10-26T16:45:00.000-07:00

Alrightee...this coming weekend is going to be a production weekend for my company Cre8tive Juices. We are flying Billy Lee London here to bottom for a new model who has a nice huge 10 incher. And while he's here, Mr McInches will be poking my ass, too, for some extra content. My footage with Mr 10 Inches won't be a full scene, however. Still, I am looking forward to having him fuck me til he creams. His scene with Billy Lee will appear in our next release: JUICED! You can sample Billy Lee already in STORM SURGE: he was the bottom in the Leather Masters 3-way Scene. www.cre8tivejuices.com

TV ON DVD: What I Still Need...

2006-10-24T14:30:00.000-07:00

I recently finished skimming through this book on TV SHOWS from the 1950's to the present and I wrote down all the shows that aren't yet out on DVD that were favorites of mine. Here, in alphabetical order, are the shows I still want to ownon DVD if they ever get released: ALICE (so far only a Best Of DVD exists, but I want the Complete First Season)....BOSOM BUDDIES (a very young Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari in drag)...FAMILY TIES (I am really surprised this one isn't on DVD yet)...THE HOGAN FAMILY (This was one of my favorite family comedies of the 80s)...IT'S A LIVING (Remember this one from the 80s? It was a comedy about waitresses at work on a revolving restaurant atop a skyscraper)...THE LOVE BOAT (I know, I'm a freak. But I GOTTA own this one!)...SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE (I want all 32 complete seasons on DVD..NOT these Best Of compilations that currently occupy space at Best Buy)...SILVER SPOONS (This one came out when I was the same age as Ricky Shroeder was in this early 80s comedy)...SQUARE PEGS (This one was, like, TOTALLY AWESOME!)...THE WONDER YEARS (I think music rights issues are slowing this one down from getting released)...AND HERE ARE SOME RARE ONE-SEASON WONDERS AND RARITIES that you may(and most likely MAY NOT) have heard of: GOING PLACES (a comedy with Heather Locklear), HARPER VALLEY PTA, THE BRADY BRIDES, JOANIE LOVES CHACHI, OTHERWORLD, THE PAUL LYNDE SHOW, SUPERTRAIN, WE GOT IT MADE and WOLF LAKE

BOX PIX

2006-10-21T10:34:00.000-07:00

I have decided to reveal my box office must-see pix for the weekend EACH WEEKEND til 2007. I am basing my top box office must-sees from early reviews I have read and from my own desires (let's face it: REAL reviewers's reviews mean jack shit some times). SO, for the weekend of October 20/21: MY TOP PICK: MARIE ANTOINETTE. First off, Entertainment Weekly gave it a glowing B+ review. HOWEVER, the film was largely booed at Cannes this year (alas, mostly from the french). I'm a fan of Sofia Coppola's blending of 18th-century history with early 80's New Romantic pop music (New Order, Atom Ant, Bow Wow Wow, The Cure: WHEW, if nothing else the soundtrack is going to ROCK when I buy it). I'm also a fan of Kirstin Dunst (hard to believe it's the same little girl who kissed Brad Pitt in INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE) and Jason Schwartzman (great in FREAKS & GEEKS, not so great in BEWITCHED). I think this movie is going to have a fast-pace hardly found in traditional period pieces, and cinematography hints to be amazing. SECOND PLACE: THE GRUDGE 2 (opened last weekend). I don't know about you but previews to GRUDGE 2 were pretty intense. True, this means jack shit (hmm, that word again) on tha actual final product. Indeed, Entertainment Weekly (EW) gave it a so-so C+. But it's that time of the year when scary movies have clout, and Amber Tamblyn has some serious spook-film pedigree (the original THE RING). This movie should do some decent business - at least until SAW 3 opens next week. THIRD PLACE: RUNNING WITH SCISSORS. This Anette Bening flick might be JUST quirky enough to be entertaining, but the glum subject manner doesn't jump out and make my asshole twitch. EW reviewed it with a C. PICK FOR FOURTH: THE PRESTIGE. This is the big-budget magician movie starring Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale. It's also from the acclaimed director Christopher Nolan, who helmed BATMAN BEGINS. I was one of the few who didn't get all that entertained by BATMAN BEGINS, though I surely see the quality in it - and I am happy the director took that movie and gave it his own flavor. But honestly, I can't separate THE PRESTIGE from the ILLUSIONIST - I thought it was the same movie, only with a name change. However, it scored well with EW: a B+ FIFTH PLACE: One of the highest-profiled movies of the weekend is Clint Eastwood's Oscor follow-up: FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS. Even if the movie had scored well with the critics (it didnt: EW gave it a B-), I would be hard-pressed to go see it. I am just not a big war movie fan. And it appears to have bloody battles ala SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. With the war in Iraq ongoing I guess I am just not up to go escape to the cineplex this weekend and have "real gore" thrown at me (though I WILL take in "fake gore" from GRUDGE 2). And those are the TOP FIVE PICKS OF THE WEEKEND from Sean Storm.

Loving LOST...

2006-10-20T11:02:00.000-07:00

The first season of LOST was a brilliant depiction of people who crash-land on a mysterious island and try to figure out where they are, WHO they are, how will they survive the island and how will they survive each other. Very little was revealed about the island itself, which left many viewers, well, lost. Then came the second season: and though it was entertaining, it progressed slowly and spent too much time merging the tailies with our core crew and figuring out who the 'others' were. Not to mention the seriously unpopular Ana Lucia character getting in the way - and on our nerves. But then at the end of the second season something BRILLIANT happened: the show got really exciting all over again. The whole 'hatch' mystery was resolved, we met The Others, and Ana bit the dust. And so season 3 begins: and I am basking in new revelations and new mysteries: it's as if the first 2 seasons SLOWLY built up to something BIGGER than just an island with a hatch: there is a whole community of people living on this island. AND there is a HOTTTTTT newcomer in the form or Rodrigo Santiago (or something like that). The show will air uninterrupted for 6 or 7 weeks, then take a hiatus before returning uninterrupted in February for the rest of the season. Hands down, LOST is the Best Drama on television.

OFF THE LEASH: Disgusting Television!!!

2006-10-19T13:30:00.000-07:00

It takes a rare piece of shit program to get me riled up enough to actually tell people to boycott watching it. Perhaps that's because I have learned from past examples like the Christian rights watchdog groups always losing in their efforts to get homosexual programming banned by drawing huge attention and ratings to said programs. But dammit, LIFETIME really went to the dogs with their, ummm, "original" reality show OFF THE LEASH, which takes a look into a doggie talent agency in LA called Le Paws. It's only obvious to me that the show is scripted and fake. The owners of the dogs are all disgustingly hammy for the cameras and psychotic as hell. No person on this show has a sliver of diginity....nor does anyone on the show exude any real love toward their pets. OH, and the people at Le Paws make it a point to say that they are only in this for the $$$ that the dogs (slaves to their owners and employers) will bring them. The 'trainer' of the dogs is always throwing a hissy fit and is never actually training the dogs...and the dogs are always 'trained' as a group with their obnoxious human owners always present. The only reasons to watch this show is because of the dogs themselves, but even they are given precious little air time... and I'm sorry, but no amount of airtime in hell is going to keep me tuned in week after week to watch the assholes (the Le Paws employees and the pet owners themselves) depict their 'dramas' for the cameras. I could stomach one episode and about 10 minutes of the second episode before I said ENUFF ALREADY! As a pet owner myself, I owe it to myself to not support this teletrash!

Jeffrey won PROJECT RUNWAY. Oh, well. For what it's worth, here is the order from best to worst on who I thought had the best presentations at Olympus Fashion Week: 1)ULI...2)MICHAEL...3)JEFFREY....4)LAURA Here is the actual order from best to worst on who the judges felt had the best presentations: 1)JEFFREY....2)ULI....3)LAURA....4)MICHAEL And here is the order from best PERSONAL CHARACTER to worst of the final 4: 1)MICHAEL and ULI tied. They were the nicest of the four presenters....3)LAURA. She definitely had her bitchy side and is no doubt cut-throat, but overall the absolute most vile person of the final 4 (and of all the designers from all three seasons) was JEFFREY. I think Jeffrey had a good collection, though. If anything good comes of his win it's that he is someone who was once rock-bottom in his life shooting up all kinds of heroin and crack and he has been able to turn his life around and win Project Runway. That's an inspiring story. But he still has a long way to go with interpersonal relations with people.

THE DEPARTED

2006-10-18T10:15:00.000-07:00

You know, there really isnt anything billiant about the script to this movie. In fact, there a few loopholes that just don't make sense to me. But what does make this movie brilliant is the BRILLIANT Martin Scorcese. I bow down to this master of direction. He recharged this Good Guys Vs Bad Guys flick, expertly acted by thespians Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon and Leo D! I don't really want to go into the plot, other than to say it contains two moles working on opposite sides of the law (with some key twists that would spoil the film if I were to pass them along). Oh, and since seeing this movie last week I now have a hard-on for guys with Boston accents (mmmm... Mark Wahlberg has never turned me on more). There is early Oscar buzz on this one, so make sure you check it out. I mean, seriously, it's SCORCESE! A-

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVES

2006-10-14T09:16:00.000-07:00

Being a fan of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE is like being a Cubs fan - you are there for your team during the good and the bad (and mostly it's been bad). But every so often your team hits it out of the ballpark and you laugh your ass off. I guess that's why I live SNL so much - it's made me laugh during a lonely high school period, I laughed my ass off (while getting drunk on Mad Dog) during my college years at Eastern Illinois University, I stuck with it during my coming out years, and I even caught it here and there once my live Saturday nights were spent cruising around Sidetracks and Steamworks. And now, SNL is a TiVo staple that joins my other sketchers (THE UNDERGROUND and MADTV). This season we lost Tina Fey and Rachel Dratch (to 30 ROCK) and Chris Parnell, Horatio Sanz and Finesse Mitchell (to budgeting reasons). No one entered the establishment, and right now no one needs to. The cast last year had grown too big...so this year's survivors have more time to develop their chemistry with viewers. Unfortunately a few of the members have been with the show too long, and new blood will be needed by next year to keep the show fresh. Last year's newcomers, however, are doing exceptional work this season (Bill Hader, Andy Samburg, Kristin Wiig and Jason Sudeikis). I have a soft spot for all the cast members (Amy Poehler, Darrel Hammond, Fred Armissen, Kenan Thompson, Maya Rudoph, Will Forte and Seth Meyers) and would hate to see any one go, but I also feel its in the best interest of the series to purge even a few more of the longer-running cast members in favor of new talent. Because what the series needs are more breakout stars like Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, Adam Sandler, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, and so forth to REALLY bring people back. And so far Andy Samburg seems to be the only breakout performer (thanks to his AWESOME SNL DIGITAL SHORTS - LAZY SUNDAY, in particular)

TOP TEN, FALL 2006

Early cancellations: KIDNAPPED (NBC), SMITH (CBS), VANISHED (FOX) and possibly HAPPY HOUR (FOX).

A blog for voyeurs...

2006-10-14T07:38:00.000-07:00

I recently met another blogger online, Mikey, and I just checked out his blog. What I found interesting was his realness, his rawness and his openness toward himself, his life and his sexuality. I felt like a voyeur cruising through it, especially at the various nude shots he posts of himself. If this is something that has caught your attention so far, you may want to check out his blog: http://capt-cavemans.blogspot.com/

BOOK REVIEW: DANCE OF DEATH

2006-10-13T11:25:00.001-07:00

My favorite authors are Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, and I just finished my next book of theirs, DANCE OF DEATH. Most of their books are stand-alone features, but lately the characters of Aloysius Pendergast and his brother Diogenes have been at the forefront, with DOD being the penultimate entry before things conclude in BOOK OF THE DEAD (which I am awaiting to arrive in mail order hardback). What's so frickin great about DOD is that it returns so many characters from their past books: Margo Green (Relic, Reliquary), Bill Smithback (Relic, Reliquary, Thunderhead, Cabinet of Curiosities), Nora Kelly (Thunderhead, Cabinet of Curiosities), Vincent D'Agosta (Relic, Reliquary, Brimstone), Laura Hayward (Reliquary, Brimstone), Bryce Harriman (Relic, Reliquary, Cabinet of Curiosities, Brimstone), Viola Maskalene (Brimstone), Eli Glinn (Ice Limit) and so on. So even though you don't need to read all the books in order to understand DOD (well, you might want to read BRIMSTONE to prepare you), it's a hell of a lot more fun to have read them first. The premise of this book is that SPecial Agent Pendergast's brother is killing off those people closest to Aloysius: which, if you think about it, is brilliant...because all of the people who might get killed off have been major characters in past books who you KNEW wouldnt get killed off. But in DANCE OF DEATH all bets are off and ANYONE could be the next victim. In fact, I was reallllllllly upset a couple of times in the book when a favorite of mine bit the dust. But that's life (er, death, actually). And this book is one of their best. I am actually glad that I am reading them now because the final book in the series (BOOK OF THE DEAD) has already been published - so I won't have to wait long before I know how this masterpiece finishes off.

Bad Numbers

2006-10-12T09:41:00.000-07:00

One of the ironies this season was all of the new shows that featured numbers in their titles. The other irony is that they are all underperforming. Last night, NBC's 30 ROCK and TWENTY GOOD YEARS were the latest TV casualties with a 5.5 and 4.7, respectively. But given NBC's weak line-up of BIGGEST LOSER and KIDNAPPED it comes as no surprise. What DOES surprise is the night's other ratings flop, THE NINE, which follows the mega-successful LOST on ABC. THE NINE only mustered up a 5.7 losing more than half of LOST's audience. ABC had similar results with SIX DEGREES following GREY'S ANATOMY. Don't expect either show to make it to season 2. Also losing ground each and every week is NBC's STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP - a boring, talky, too-serious it sucks look inside the workings of an SNL-like series. The real bummer for me is 30 ROCK. I want that little show to succeed, and I only hope NBC stands by it and gives it another shot somewhere else on their schedule. Then again, with so few success stories for NBC maybe they will. Also look for NBC's 1 VS 100 to premiere tomorrow night.

My Favorite Network

2006-10-11T07:39:00.000-07:00

Ever since the 80s I have been a supporter of NBC (Family Ties, Cheers, Seinfeld, Golden Girls, Spencer, Facts of Life, Friends, Just Shoot Me, The Naked Truth, The Single Guy, 227, Amen, Empty Nest, Night Court, Newsradio, Jesse, Will & Grace, ALF, Frasier - and those are just the comedies!). So it was heartbreaking went NBC went from #1 to #4 in the last 3 years. I realize that these things are cyclical and that NBC will be #1 again one day (and comedies will be number one again one day, too). Until then, though, I have to look at what's on television these days (and which network is entertaining me the most): and that network is the Alphabet network! My three favorite shows are all on ABC (LOST, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, and my newest guilty pleasure: UGLY BETTY). And though I don't watch, GREY'S ANATOMY and DANCING WITH THE STARS are tearing up the charts. Plus, BROTHERS & SISTERS is good and THE NINE looks promising. Some weak spots are the traditional 30-minute comedies (but this is true with all the networks): HELP ME HELP YOU is just average, and THE KNIGHTS OF PROSPERITY, NOTES FROM THE UNDERBELLY and BIG DAY have all been shelved until they can be properly be showcased. ABC also has some serious weaknesses on Mondays (WIFE SWAP, SUPERNANNY and WHAT ABOUT BRIAN) and Fridays (MEN IN TREES). But overall ABC keeps building a few really strong hits each year and I am loving that. As for NBC, they have some really quality new shows (STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP, KIDNAPPED and FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS) - but the shows aren't delivering the ratings. The bright spot, though, is the addicting HEROES. NBC is now starting to rely on game shows (DEAL OR NO DEAL and 1 VS 100) to bring the viewers in. I just hope NBC can downsize the procedurals and start tackling some more quirky inventive shows. Until then, ABC is now my Must See TV!

RAD REVIEW: STORM SURGE

2006-10-08T13:40:00.000-07:00

Year Produced: 2006Reviewed by: ThatGuyYouLikeUsually ships within 3 to 4 business days.Are you up for 3 hours of hardcore, no-holds-barred, barebacknastiness? If you're into seeing hairy holes stretched open toreceive hot loads of mancream, you've come to the right film. Everyhorny bottom man here takes cum up his ass, squirted by masculine,horse-hung studs. In addition to rough and raw fucking, you're in foran action-packed adventure involving underwater sex, self-sucking,cage sex, ass-shaving, interracial sex, dungeon sex, rape, toiletglory holes, rimming, cock sucking, fingering, threeways, toe-sucking, and dildo-play. Plus, there's a fun story line along the way.This film is far wilder than the average flick. The sheer variety ofaction is rarely attempted. Plus, the ambitious plot makes the sexeven more interesting. Don't worry if you've missed the first twoinstallments of this saga. An opening montage brings us up to date onthe plot.The great thing about the anal cumshots is that the top men pull outjust in time for a hands-free orgasm. They don't pull out and thenjerk off a load. They pull out, pump cream, and slide back in, noneof the action obscured by fingers. The orgasms are triggered by thefucking, not by masturbation.The great thing about the men is the size of their packages. Ifyou're familiar with the size of Austin Shadows, you know what toexpect. The other great thing about the men is that natural body hairis standard. Though not every man is hairy, there are lots ofbeautifully furry asses, balls, chests, legs, and arms are on display.It would be impossible to describe everything that happens in thisfilm. Suffice it to say that there is rough sex, but romantic momentsas well. Cum always goes up an ass. By the way, don't miss AbramRodriguez's astonishing solo cumshot 102 minutes into the film: hisentire body has a full-on seizure when he shoots off. It's a realtrip to witness.All in all, "Storm Surge" is quite an accomplishment. For the amountof time and care that went into this film, Sean Storm could havecreated ten separate films. He decided to dedicate himself toquality, and it shows.DVD Extras: Behind the scenes action, scene selection, cumshotscompilation, outtakes, hardcore trailers and previews.

FRIDAY THE 13TH PART ???

2006-10-08T12:55:00.000-07:00

For those who don't already know FRIDAY THE 13TH is being remade by Jerry Bruckheimer. This isn't a sequel, per se, but rather a reinvention of the original material. So I wonder: if a sequel to FREDDY VS JASON gets made (the 11th of the series), does it get called the 12th movie in the series (not counting the remake) or the 13th movie in the series (counting the remake). And what if the remake does SO WELL that a sequel to the REMAKE gets made? Is that movie called FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2 all over again??? Just wondering....! Here is something I DO KNOW: my ranking of each of the movies so far: 1. FRIDAY THE 13TH (PART 1): none of the sequels ever quite captured what the original showed. 2. FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER. I LOVED this movie! It had lots of nudity and was just LOTS of fun. 3. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2: This movie was severely edited down to make an R rating. I would LOVE to see the director's original vision without the cuts because I think the released film was really good - and uncut will be just that much better. 4. FREDDY VS JASON (Part 11): This one had the biggest budget, and was really fun. 5. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 IN 3D: I hated it upon it's original release but have grown fond of it over time. 6. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 5: A NEW BEGINNING: Lots of deaths, not all that great, but it did have a mystery to it unmatched since Part 1. 7. JASON X (Part 10): Jason ends up in outer space. The Jason movies I like the most are the ones at camp, and this one is SO not at Camp Crystal Lake. However, it is kinda fun to see the slasher flick in outer space. 8. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 6: yep, I liked it. HOWEVER, I DID NOT LIKE 9. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 7, 10. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 8: JASON TAKES MANHATTEN and (THE ABSOLUTE WORST) 11. JASON GOES TO HELL: THE FINAL FRIDAY (Part 9).

So FUCKING HOT!

2006-10-08T12:24:00.000-07:00

I often get asked what mainstream actors I would like to have sex with. Hands down, James Franco is my star of choice. I fell in lust with this actor from the brilliant (but short-lived) NBC series FREAKS & GEEKS. He then graduated to film work, turning me on all over again with SPIDER-MAN and the recent FLYBOYS. What I like most about him (and true of other guys like him) is that he isn't overly gorgeous. You can definitely see some physical flaws, which I find most sexy in a man. There is something about a scar or an imperfectional that appeals to me. Guys who are EXTREMELY GORGEOUS somehow turn me off (oddly enough). And of course ANYONE who oozes being stuck-up on his looks is an absolute turn-off. For James Franco, he is undeniably sexy, but also has a raw talent (I believe he won a Golden Globe award for his portrayel of James Dean)....another characteristic that gets my juices flowing. I am more turned on to a creative mind that an intellectual mind. Artists inspire me and thus become a weakness for me sexually. I just find James Franco so FUCKING HOT!

LOST TREASURE: DEAD LIKE ME

2006-10-01T07:21:00.000-07:00

Sometimes TV is sooooo good that it's destined to be canceled (i.e.: FREAKS & GEEKS, WONDERFALLS, GREG THE BUNNY). And so goes the tale of the brilliant (but cancelled) DEAD LIKE ME. DLM lasted two seasons on SHOWTIME. It's a series that is the very definition of dark humor. In it, our main character George is killed off by a toilet seat falling out of the clouds. She becomes a grim reaper: the newest addition to a group of grim reapers who have to give the bad news to the recently deceased before accumulating "x" number of souls before they themselves can pass on to the next stage (whatever that stage may be). Complicating things are pesky little gravelings that show up and set things in motion. Trust me, you don't want to piss off a graveling. This show is also airing in repeats on Sci-Fi, though much watered down. You will want the DVD version instead because that's where you can get away with F words and bare butts (the lead male had to bend over in episode 4, drop trou and have his manhole manchecked for drugs). If you are a fan of Quality TV, DEAD LIKE ME is worth a look. A-

FALL TV: HEROES and BROS. & SISTERS

2006-10-01T07:13:00.000-07:00

I just watched a couple more pilots over the weekend: HEROES on NBC Mondays and BROTHERS AND SISTERS on ABC Sundays. First, BROTHERS AND SISTERS: it follows DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and is also something of a soap opera. The series was entertaining enough for me to watch the second episode, but JUST barely. Whereas DH has dark humor, B & S is just dark. So far the show is grounded in reality, and it's hard to say if it will delve into classic nighttime soap cattiness (like DYNASTY and DALLAS). Ratings show that B&S lost a HUGE chunk of DESPERATE's audience, so the show is going to have to get a LOT more interesting if it intends to stick around. The better of these two new shows is HEROES. What I liked about HEROES is that, ironically, it DOES take itself seriously. For a change it's nice to see a superhero-themed series go for the drama rather than the cheese. I think if HEROES can maintain the mood and theme established in the pilot then it will have a shot at sticking around the NBC sked for awhile. And let's face it, NBC is sorely in need of some HEROES. HEROES: A; BROTHERS & SISTERS: C+

JERICHO: A second look

2006-09-29T07:11:00.000-07:00

Sorry guys! After the second helping of JERICHO, I rolled my eyes one too many times at the stupidity of dialog and acting that muddies up the high-concept CBS drama JERICHO. I mean, COME ON! - miscast prodigal son Skeet Ulrich JUST saves the life of his ex-girlfriend and her deaf friend from certain rape/death at the hands of two escaped cons and the ONLY gratitude Skeet gets from her is: "disaster always shows up when you're around", or something to that effect. Then the girl just idly walks away from him -even though she'd be already starting stiffen with rigor mortis if he hadn't just saved her (all the while risking his OWN life from an impending radiation rain that put the entire town in peril). The characters are sooooo annoying, and writing is soooo bad, and the reactions these people make are NOT how people would really react to these events. With too many great other shows on TV (Desperate Housewives, Lost, Veronica Mars, Ugly Betty, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, The Class, How I Met Your Mother, Heroes and Brothers & Sisters), JERICHO just isn't worth investing my time in if the writers and actors can't deliver a more realistic approach. And BESIDES, do I REALLLLLY want to spend an hour of my week EACH week watching a depressing story that is ONLY going to get dragged out ad nauseum without any real relief (until the series ends). JERICHO would have worked best as a 8 or 10 hour miniseries, with a definite "end" in sight - but as an ongoing series? Nope. D+

UGLY BETTY is BEAUTIFUL!

2006-09-29T07:03:00.000-07:00

Hands down, UGLY BETTY on ABC is the BEST NEW SHOW of the season! America Ferrara is an amazing talent and DESERVES any accolades she gets for her brave and brilliant performance as Betty Suarez - who happens to be "beautiful" on the inside and "ugly" on the outside. And I use quotes because beauty and ugly are just subjective labels, and to my eyes some of the ugliest people are the naughty, rude, insensitive "adults" already staffed at the mythical MODE magazine offices. UGLY BETTY is a unique series of eye-candy-addicting set pieces, quirky characters, eclectic songs on a varied soundtrack of pop tunes, electronica and mood-setting orchestrations that play a huge factor in upping the drama for the target of tears or ribbing the funny bone for the target of laughs. And UGLY BETTY does an excellent job of getting both: in one such scene Betty has a dramatic send-off speech to her boss, then turns around and promptly falls on her ass for last-laugh gag that sealed the deal for my New Thusday Night Addiction: UGLY BETTY! A+

THE UNDERGROUND

2006-09-25T17:40:00.000-07:00

This is the new raunchy sketch comedy show from Damon Wayons. And since it is on SHOWTIME, Mr. Wayons and crew can get away with just about anything. But just because you can show some tits and ass doesnt mean you are funny. In fact, some of the skits are so laugh-free that I almost tuned out on more than one occassion. But then, every 15 minutes or so comes along a sketch so brilliant that you find yourself glued to the set. Case in point from Episode 1: THE REAL VAGINA MONOLOGUES. Case in point from Episode 2: the skit where the male cast members have holes cut into their pants and their balls are physically and visibly hanging out in all their glory. So overall, the show is just average on the humor-scale. But since this is the first truly daring XXX-rated sketch comedy series, I am hooked.

FALL TV: THE BEST...and THE REST

2006-09-23T19:22:00.000-07:00

After the first week of the season here are the new shows that I am digging: THE CLASS (CBS), STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP (NBC) and JERICHO (CBS). I did NOT like SHARK (CBS) or STANDOFF (FOX). In the coming week I will be watching the following new shows: BROTHERS & SISTERS (ABC), HEROES (NBC), HELP ME HELP YOU (ABC) and UGLY BETTY (ABC). I have REALLY high hopes for UGLY BETTY and HEROES. (oh, and season 1 of MAMA'S FAMILY comes out on DVD on the 26th : hey, what can I say, I love Vicki Lawrence!)

JERICHO

2006-09-23T19:11:00.000-07:00

The originality of a series plays a HUGE part in my decision-making to take on and commit to watching a new show, which is why I am already a fan of CBS' JERICHO. The opening moments of the pilot cut right to the chase: Skeet Ulrich has barely spent 10 minutes on screen before a mushroom cloud erupts in the far horizon. Cut off from the rest of the world, the citizens of this small Kansas town are soon panic-stricken with unanswerable answers to many crisis-situation questions. Further, an additional explosion has taken place in Atlanta, making Jericho not alone in what is going on. To add drama, a busload of convicts have escaped from their crashed bus, with one of the escapees shooting and killing the sherrif of Jericho. The pilot ends with the mayor of the town delivering a 'Stand United' speech that is borderline cheese, but not altogether horrible. The show definitely had some loopholes, but overall I am intrigued. JERICHO left me wondering what's going on...and I wonder how CBS can maintain the goods for an entire year (let alone more if the show is a hit). I fear that if the show is a hit, writers will drag the thing out (as the producers of LOST have done with their show...though LOST is awesome and has many creative avenues to explore: how can JERICHO maintain that same kind of drama and mythology in a single Kansas town). But hey, it's only been one episode, and from the ratings, JERICHO performed decently enough - which means the show won't be canceled as quickly as EMILY'S REASONS WHY NOT did (um, after just one episode). So watch JERICHO and let me know what you think! B

STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP

2006-09-23T19:02:00.000-07:00

Anyone who follows my blogging already knows that I am an entertainment junkie, so it shouldn't come as any surprise that STUDIO 60 was one of my Must-See pilots this year. And after seeing the first episode I am not disspointed. This series does an excellent job of going behind the scenes of a live late-night comedy series on the National Broadcasting System - combining biting drama and scathing satire never seen since, well, THE WEST WING. The creator of that series, Aaron Sorkin, once again is in top form with STUDIO 60. There are a lot of characters and plot points addressed in the first 60 minutes, and I am sure viewers could overwhelmed by it all. But in the end, I was left wanting to see more - and that's the key element any successful pilot strives to achieve. Oh, and Matthew Perry is BRILLIANT! It's going to take several episodes for these characters to grow on me, but I truly believe that STUDIO 60 is worth the wait. A-

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES

2006-09-23T11:29:00.000-07:00

Everybody loves a good comeback story. I just find it hard to believe that a show can go from major phenomenon to major backlash to major comeback (all in the course of 2 years and a month)....that seems to be the going story for ABC's DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. Granted, I have not seen the new third season yet, but critics, show-runners and general buzz has it known that this season is a return to form for the ABC ratings darling. Personally, I enjoyed season 2 and felt the backlash was blown way out of proportion. True, it didn't come anywhere near the fabulousness of season 1, but it was still entertaining (with a wicked second half and an enjoyable payoff ending to the Alfre Woodard storyline). It takes most series (and I am referring those lucky enough to make it to syndication-worthy fourth seasons) a year or two to catch on, a year or two to "peak" in ratings and popularity, a year or two to start getting stale (aka, backlash), and then -if they are lucky enough- a year or two to come back for some ratings glory before disappearing entirely (ahem, WEST WING). For DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES to go to critical hell and back within the course of 2 years (and a month!) is sweet, indeed! It also doesn't hurt that I LOVE the ladies of Wisteria Lane!

SHARK: No Bite

2006-09-23T06:12:00.000-07:00

The only reason why I tuned in to CBS' new show 'SHARK' was to see actress Jeri Ryan. And, though it was good seeing her again in a TV show (my last exposure to her was as Seven of Nine on STAR TREK: VOYAGER), it wasn't enough to keep me glued to my set at 11pm on Thursday nights. The problems with SHARK are 1) I can only stomach James Woods for about 5 minutes (and in SHARK he is in almost every scene), 2) The camera-work is dizzying at times (that old NYPD BLUE/CSI/LAW & ORDER thing goes on A LOT), 3) It's just another TV procedural (which I am SOOOOOO over by now). Still, SHARK (to date) is the most watched new TV show of the season. That's the bad news. The GOOD NEWS is that GREY'S ANATOMY beat up on the season premiere of CSI in their first head-to-head battle of the new season (I think it was GREY'S at 25 mil to CSI's 22 mil). If this trend can continue, HOPEFULLY,the glut of TV procedurals will start to thin out. I think there is room on TV for one CSI and one LAW & ORDER (but not 3 of each). I would much rather see more inventive shows like LOST, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, UGLY BETTY and HEROES get airplay than a CSI: PEORIA or a LAW & ORDER: K9 UNIT.

Sean Storm Videography: PRE-BAREBACK CLASSICS

2006-09-22T15:13:00.000-07:00

Okay, so we have all heard of those Pre-condom classics out there (even the crappiest films ever made seem to get tagged as a classic - grrr). So I have coined the term Pre-Bareback Classic to describe some of the best condom-only films that I have made: MAN ACADEMY 1 and 2, TIGHT ENDS & WIDE RECEIVERS 1 and 2, PLAYING FOR KEEPS and NAVY BLUES: DEEPER IN THE BRIG (all Centaur); TRY ME ON FOR SIZE (Falcon); THE HOMECOMING (Studio 2000); CLOSED SET: THE NEW CREW and SEX PIGS VOLUME 1 (MSR). And here are The Best Of The Rest (all condom-only films): MAN HUNTER (Centaur), THE SEEKER (Studio 2000), FACE RYDERS (MSR), HIS TERRIBLE TWIN (Catalina), HARD AS ROCK (Blue Blake), OPEN TRENCH 2: FUCK FANTASIES (Sports N Recreation). Other Career Films: FRAT BOY SEAN & FRIENDS (Citiboyz), RASCAL'S GRADUATION GANG BANG (Catalina), DIETER'S DUNGEON (SpankThis!) and THE ORGY (Boiling Point Productions)

Sean Storm VIDEOGRAPHY

2006-09-22T15:06:00.000-07:00

To help my fans who are interested in finding out where they can see me get plowed I am sending forth my videography of films. 2006: STORM SURGE (Cre8tive Juices); 2005: HOLE MILK and DIRECT DEPOSIT (Cre8tive Juices), HOLE SWEET HOLE, MONSTER BANG 6: PARTY IN THE REAR and THE SHAFT (Raging Stallion), SEAN STORMS COLLECTORS EDITION (Centaur Films); 2004: STORM DRAIN (Helix), CUMSLOPPY BUTTHOLES (Treasure Island Media), and GAY DREAMS 2: SAN FRANCISCO NIGHTS (Raging Stallion)

TV TREND 2006: SERIALS!

2006-09-18T11:02:00.000-07:00

Oh yes, I am ABSOLUTELY excited that today is the official start of the FALL TV season. I am really pumped about seeing STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP tonight, and I may even re-watch the premiere of THE CLASS on CBS (Thanks for the free preview the other day, TiVo!). Further, THE MEGAN MULLALY SHOW preems today, along with the season premieres of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, TWO AND A HALF MEN and THE NEW ADVENTURES OF OLD CHRISTINE. Later in the week I will be giving reviews of STUDIO 60, JERICHO and SHARK (the sole reason I am watching this one is to see Jeri Ryan out of her SEVEN OF NINES character - I missed her performance on BOSTON PUBLIC a few years back, so for me this is my chance to see her on Earth). Now, the trend this year is serialized TV shows. Sure, there are the pure soaps (like DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES), but even comedy has gotten serialized (BIG DAY). And still other shows take on a serialized format (STUDIO 60) even though they arent offically classics serials. And of course the biggest trend in TV is the year-long 'mystery' (as seen on 24 and the past two seasons of VERONICA MARS). Even reality TV is something of a serial when the cast goes from 12 to 1 in a season. So here are the serials vying for your milk: NBC: HEROES, STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, KIDNAPPED, ER (and to a lesser degree MY NAME IS EARL and LAS VEGAS); ABC: WHAT ABOUT BRIAN, THE KNIGHTS OF PROSPERITY, DAY BREAK, BIG DAY, NOTES FROM THE UNDERBELLY, LOST, THE NINE, SIX DEGREES, UGLY BETTY, GREY'S ANATOMY, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, BROTHERS AND SISTERS (and to a lesser degree MEN IN TREES); CBS: JERICHO (and to a lesser degree HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER), FOX: PRISON BREAK, VANISHED, THE OC; THE CW: RUNAWAY, VERONICA MARS, GILMORE GIRLS, ONE TREE HILL, SUPERNATURAL (and to a lesser degree SMALLVILLE). WHEW!!!

Remembering RENT

2006-09-18T10:01:00.000-07:00

It rarely gets mentioned or talked about anymore, perhaps because 10 years have gone by..perhaps parts of it seem outdated today...perhaps because the subject matter is too dark at times. But while listening to the Original Cast Broadway Highlights in my car the other dayI couldn't help but feel some intense emotions (I think you would have to be almost dead inside NOT to get somewhat emotionally stirred by the music). I know things aren't as grim today as they were in the mid-90's (and I was never affected by any loss of friends to AIDS), but I think it's still important to remember what life was like for HIV-positive gay men before protease inhibitors came along (if for nothing more than to appreciate the advances that have been made in the decade since). Anyway,....I just felt like saying that, for what its worth.

FALL TV: THE CLASS

2006-09-15T13:39:00.000-07:00

Earlier this summer I shared with everyone the Fall TV shows I was most looking forward to seeing. Thanks to a special showing for TiVo customers I was able to preview one of my MUST SEE PILOTS, CBS' THE CLASS. The main reasons for seeing THE CLASS were to see Andrea Anders (late of NBC's JOEY) and David Crane (Creator of FRIENDS). Beyond that, I was also looking for a show to fill in the void left by FRIENDS, and THE CLASS certainly showed promise in the pilot episode. Grantd, the show isn't exactly classic television, but the pilot left me laughing and, most importantly, left me wanting more. I think THE CLASS has a great chance of surviving (it's part of CBS' hit comedy lineup of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, TWO AND A HALF MEN and THE NEW ADVENTURES OF OLD CHRISTINE). THE CLASS includes one out gay character and another gay-acting "straight" character. With 8 classmates (and additional friends, family and lovers in their lives), the show reminds me a lot of SOAP. It will be difficult to juggle all these characters and allow them the time to become more than the cliches that they each currently are. But I am hoping that over time we will see more three-dimensional developments out of this CLASS. MY GRADE: A-

MAG FAG

2006-09-12T16:01:00.000-07:00

My name is Sean Storm and I am a magaholic. In other words, I am hopelessly addicted to subscribing to magazines. In fact, I currently have about a dozen magazines in my bedroom waiting to get read. They keep arriving in the mail faster than I can read and dispose of them. My newest addiction started innocently enough (as all addictions do) last year when I discovered mags4cheap.com. I immediately subscribed to half a dozen mags on the spot. And since then whenever I read a magazine I like, I subscribe to it. And actually it makes a lot of financial sense to subscribe to magazines instead of buying a single newsstand copy. Subscribing can save you up to 80% off in some instances. So, for better or worse, here are the mags I currently subscribe to: ENTERTAINMENT: Entertainment Weekly, Premiere, TV GUIDE, OK!, NOW PLAYING, Giant, Stuff, Interview, Hollywood Life....GAY-THEMED: Out, Genre, Instinct, The Advocate....ADULT: Playgirl.... PUZZLES: TV GUIDE Crosswords, MOVIE And TV Crosswords... MEN'S INTEREST: Details....SPECIAL INTEREST: Fangoria, Sci-Fi Magazine. Grand Total: 19. OUCH!

HGTV DESIGN STAR

2006-09-09T08:14:00.000-07:00

On Sunday night, HGTV will reveal who America voted for to be the next host of an HGTV design show. For those who have watched, gay hottie David is up against sweet and bubbly (and sexy in her own way) Alice. But judging from last week's design challenge, David continues to impress with his talents as a designer. Further, he stepped it up on the Hosting challenge and drove it home. This man DESERVES a show. But even if he loses, it's nice to know that he lives just down the street in Miami. But if David SHOULD lose, Alice is the person I would like him to lose to. The series really got things right and chose the best two designers of the original 10 to make it this far. AWESOME! And, David, if you are reading this blog (and GOD do I hope you are reading this blog...mmmm), GOOD LUCK!

FALL TV Cram Sessions...

2006-09-09T07:14:00.000-07:00

Ah, the beauty of TV ON DVD!!!! Now you can miss an entire season's worth of a tv show and chow it down in one big gulp of a weekend. Last August I bought the LOST SEASON 1 DVD and the DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES SEASON 1 DVD and watched both shows in record-breaking time so that I would be 'in the know' for season 2 of each show. See, how little did I know that during each show's freshman run on ABC would be phenomenal. And it just didnt make sense to tune in half-way through the season. Soooo, I had to painstakingly wait from December 2004 to August 2005 before I could devote my time to each program.....and this August is no different. I actually have 3 shows I am catching up on real fast. The first is VERONICE MARS season 2, which I am half-way through...the other is SUPERNATURAL, which I couldnt access during it's freshman run because my area wasn't picking up the WB at the time. In November I will be buying the first season of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER so that I can then enjoy season 2 of the CBS sitcom (which premieres September 18th- which means the first handful of shows will be sitting on my TiVo for a couple months until the HOW I MET first season comes out on DVD. OY!)...so what shows are some of you cramming up on in preparation for FALL TV 2006?

STILL LIFE WITH CROWS

2006-09-08T20:51:00.000-07:00

And finally, today, I finished reading Preston-Child's tale of small-town Kansas serial murder STILL LIFE WITH CROWS. Again, the authors treat us to recurring character Special Agent Pendergast as he investigates a series of twisted murders in the bowels of the cornfields of Medicine Creek, Kansas. The murders are MOST gruesome in this book, and after coming off THE CABINET OF CURIOSITIES I am wondering if my favorite authors will ever return to their rollicking adventures as put forth by THUNDERHEAD and RIPTIDE. The Midwest characters in SLWC are a little too cliched for me, especially since I am from the midwest myself. But even with the book's flaws, Preston-Child once again know how to tell one hell of a story. And I'm sure that if I ever lived in Illinois again, I don't know if I would ever want to be stuck out in the cornfields again. If not for anything else, Preston-Child know how to paint the environment that their characters find themselves in. All of the senses get detailed with explicitness. SLWC doesn't achieve the same chills as their previous effort, THE CABINET OF CURIOSITIES, but that's probably a GOOD thing for my heart, because I don't think I could have taken anything more intense than what COC presented. Both books are excellent reads.....Tomorrow I will start reading Preston-Childs' BRIMSTONE- which already promises to be yet ANOTHER trip down Goosebump Lane.

THE CABINET OF CURIOSITIES

2006-09-08T20:42:00.000-07:00

EXCELLENT!!!! Up until COC, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child have mainly written books of adventure (MOUNT DRAGON, RIPTIDE, THUNDERHEAD, THE ICE LIMIT), in addition to their most popular (the creepy THE RELIC and RELIQUARY). Bringing back two of my favorite characters from THE RELIC (Special Agent Pendergast and journalist Bill Smithback) was a welcome surprise. But nothing surprised me more than how creepy and harrowing and spooky COC was. This book showed a whole new twisted side of the authors as they masterfully and graphically presented a story about the sinister exploits of a 150-year-old-plus serial killer stalking present day New York City. The grand finale of the tale is SO disturbing that it sent chills through me (and continues to freak me out as I type this out). I don't tend to like extreme-graphic books, so it caught me off guard that my favorite authors would write a book such as COC. But it's so well-done, and so spot on that it actually is among my three favorites of Preston/Child (THE RELIC and THUNDERHEAD being my other two faves). From the opening 'discovery' to the final quote and sentence, THE CABINET OF CURIOSITIES is a creepy rollercoaster ride of prose.

THE ICE LIMIT

2006-09-08T20:35:00.000-07:00

I just finished reading my third Douglas Preston/LIncoln Child book in a row (STILL LIFE WITH CROWS). But let me backtrack 2 books to THE ICE LIMIT and let you all know my thoughts on it, THE CABINET OF CURIOSITIES and CROWS.....First up: THE ICE LIMIT. I have to admit that this book really had me juiced with excitement. The basic premise is about a guy who is hired to find the biggest meteorite to ever hit our globe: and it takes him and several characters WAY down South...right down to the ice limit that leads to the South Pole. But after an engaging first half, the direction of the book goes south, too...and what started out as a promising adventure turns into a revenge story that's been told before (and BETTER) by other authors. I don't want to spoil the outcome, but suffise it to say I was EXTREMELY disappointed with THE ICE LIMIT. It is BY FAR the worst book by Preston and Child that I have read (and to be fair, I have yet to read BRIMSTONE, DANCE OF DEATH and BOOK OF THE DEAD).

And Then There Were Five...

2006-09-08T20:27:00.000-07:00

DING DONG , VINCENT'S GONE!..... Whew, it's about fucking time the RUNWAY judges booted the TERRIBLE designer (Yeah, RIIIIIGHT) Vincent off the show. Now if they would just knock off JEFFREY! I smell a terrible odor and until Jeffrey leaves things just aren't smelling any fresher. It would be a disgrace for him to make it to the Final 3. For starters, he is a terrible example of a human being. True, the editors may have shown us what they WANT us to see, but you realllllllly can't fake the nastiness that spewed from his mouth toward Angela's mother (and Angela). The guy does have some talent, but not THAT much talent. And his arrogance is just nauseating. DAMN, I SURE MISS AUSTIN SCARLETT and JAY MCCARROLL!!!! (Fuck, I even miss WENDY PEPPER!!!!!!) Yes, it's no surprise based on my past bloggings that I am disappointed with this season of RUNWAY. In fact I am already thinking ahead to next season...and speaking of which, does anyone know if Season 4 will premiere in January in time for Olympus Fashion Week, or will it be held back to next summer? OH, and is anyone else revved up for TOP CHEF Season 2?

JUICED!

2006-09-08T20:23:00.000-07:00

The next film from Cre8tive Juices will be titled JUICED!, and it will be my company's first all-sex movie. Four scenes have already been shot (BRAD MCGUIRE and DREW PETERS; BRAD MCGUIRE and SEAN STORM; AARON and JON; BO KNIGHT and SEAN STORM). We still have two scenes yet to cast and film, so if any hottie bottoms or tops are interested - or if you know of any guys wanting to do a film for CJ MEDIA, please send them my way via seanstorm@aol.com.

PROJECT RUNWAY: PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE

2006-08-21T14:51:00.000-07:00

PAST: I am not sure how everyone else feels, but I have to say that this is my least favorite cast of fashionistas of the series, which got me thinking fondly about the past 2 editions. I guess it's an even toss-up between the two if I had to choose a favorite cast. Austin Scarlett was terrific to watch, as was winner Jay. And Wendy Pepper was a GREAT villain. Then Season 2 delivered a great line-up of gay talent: Daniel V, Nick, Where's Andre, and villain Santino. Maybe this was the best? Well, it doesnt matter because I enjoyed watching both casts. However, this season's line-up is chock full of whiners, cheaters and annoyers. I don't even think I have a clear favorite I am rooting for. PRESENT: So, just who AM I rooting for? Laura makes a nice bitch, but I am not sure I want to see her rewarded. I kinda like Angela, but no one else seems to. Robert is just a lazy gay, in my opinion. Vincent is just out and out psycho. And Jeffrey can't get through a single episode without wishing someone would die. FUTURE: So who would I like to see be the final 3? KAYEN, MICHAEL and ULI. Michael seems to have a strong inner self and, to my knowledge, hasnt bad-mouthed anyone else. Uli hasn't either, but I don't think she has the talent to win the show. Kayne has the talent, but at times can be borderline bratty. So, who would I like to win this thing? After a close toss, I am going to root for Kayne, though I would be just as happy to see Michael win it.

By the way...

Does anyone know what Dan Ackroyd has been up to these days?

Is AUGUST the LEAST exciting month in entertainment?

2006-08-14T07:35:00.000-07:00

Think about it: all of the BIG summer movies have premiered (MAY, JUNE and JULY being the big months), leaving wannabe's (SNAKES ON A PLAIN), leftovers (PULSE and ZOOM) and indies (LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE) to come out. And on television, all of the promising summer shows have already aired. And the onslaught of the fall TV season doesnt truly get underway until the third week in September (except for Fox, but they don't really count...just kidding). So that leaves August as being a pretty boring month indeed. So let me take this time to recap what Summer TV 2006 was like: My favorite returning shows were ENTOURAGE and PROJECT RUNWAY 3. My new guilty pleasures were HGTV DESIGN STAR and EUREKA. My HIT-TO-MISS show was KYLE XY (I lost interest after the third episode). My I-just-don't-get-why-it's-a-hit show is AMERICAS GOT TALENT. And my HATED IT show is WORK OUT. Along the way, other shows like HEX, LOVESPRING INTERNATIONAL, HELL'S KITCHEN, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, MAN BITES DOG, TREASURE HUNTERS, LAST COMIC STANDING 4, BIG BROTHER: ALL STARS, ROCK STAR: SUPERNOVA all premiered, but I didnt watch them enough to review them. But the smelliest shows of the summer HAD to be: THE ONE, ONE OCEAN DRIVE and TUESDAY NIGHT BOOK CLUB.
