Weekend Recommendation: "You Got Your Film Festival in My Kink" "You Got Your Kink in My Film Festival"

Readers in Chicago should make all attempts to head to the touring version of the CineKink film festival 

Like all good portmanteaus, the name on the tin describes it well. CineKink "[celebrates and explores] a wide diversity of sexuality, the films and videos in this sex-positive and kink-friendly showcase range from documentary to drama, camp comedy to artsy experimental, mildly spicy to quite explicit – and everything in between." CineKink Chicago is showing at Chicago's  Leather Archives And Museum, but don't let this imitate you like you're a newly-out kid shuffling his feet outside not sure if he should go inside or not; in fact,  I'm fairly certain that being kinky is not a requirement for attendance, so you can leave your gear at home.  

Due to work schedules, PunkAndy and I will only be able to attend Friday night's opening film.  I'll probably be there by my lonesome on Saturday - especially for Saturday evening's collection of shorts Yes, Mistress which includes "Libidoland" -- created by Chicago's very own (and Logopolis's very favorite) King is a Fink (pictured left).  I'm not saying that all the other films won't be great, but I can speak to this one and it is awesome.

Below is Libidoland's trailer:

Doctor Who Continues to Invade America

In what is probably related to the show's filming in the US (which according to this document (via GallifreyBase) the starts its principal photography in Utah tomorrow), Craig Ferguson is having Matt Smith (the current Doctor) on as a guest tonight.  In preperation, he had another special guest yesterday evening.

If you'd told 12 year old American me who desperately tried to get any little sliver of information about Doctor Who and held on to all of it with dear life (like the time I saved a copy of a clue when it was on Jeopardy), that he had to set up his TiVo because the guy who played the Doctor was going to be a guest on an American network talk show on the night after a Dalek made an appearance, he would have freaked the fuck out.

(He also would have been damn impressed about the TiVo.)

• How To Get Out of Jury Duty
  "CLEVELAND (AP) — An Ohio man was excused from jury service after mentioning he was friends growing up with serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. John Backderf was among prospective jurors being screened last week by a judge in Cleveland. He was asked: "Has anyone you know ever been convicted of a crime?"

  Backderf responded: "I had a close friend in high school who killed 17 people."

  It's not often you get to use the 'JeffreyDahmer' and 'funny' tags on the same post.

The Five White Characters in Every Tyler Perry Movie

I'm pretty sure the very existance of this video would trouble a younger version of me who would get up on his high horse and list how the reverse version of this list exists in every mainstream movie except those done by Tyler Perry.  And he'd be right.  But he also didn't laugh as much.*

* Actually, he laughed quite a bit.  Just quietly and among people who also wouldn't be offended.  Hi Allen! Happy late birthday!
