Outland at the Film Festival

Last night Ray and I saw the International Male Shorts at the Film Festival. My favorite was an adorable Australian movie with an adorable hero who had curly hair and messy, curly sideburns. He's trying to get rid of a date/trick because he doesn't want him to meet the outrageous dorks in his sci-fi fan club, that is his best friends. Not sure what I liked more: action figures that talk and mock the trick's lame Dr. Who jokes, the cute chub best friend perfect comic timing, the multiple Jodie Foster references, etc. etc.. If you get a chance, see Outland.

feast on sideburns:

very porny bookcover

Check out this dirty cover. My story "Rehab Block" is set in a republic where male homosexuality is dictated by the state and men who want to have sex with women are sent to rehabilitation prisons...There's not really any love in my story's lock-up.

the SF future is here! (& the police are even scarier)

British Police will wear camera on their heads!
"Police officers in the UK are to be given head-mouted video cameras to film incidents and arrests, the footage of which can then be used in evidence.

The Home Office is to give police £3 million to fund a national roll-out of head cameras after regional trials proved they were successful in fighting crime, the Government has announced.

The move, announced by Minister of State for Police, Crime, Security and Counter-Terrorism Tony McNulty, comes after an evaluation of a pilot project in Plymouth by Devon and Cornwall Constabulary." [link]

If only they could put red lights in the cameras and get Jeri Ryan, Alice Krige, and Susanna Thompson to play the cops...
