More Antigay Remarks From Jerry Lewis

Comedian Jerry Lewis, 82 currently in Australia for a stage show that takes a retrospective look at his career, has gone and done it again.  Mr. Lewis after a news conference last Friday, asked to comment on Australia’s most popular sport while miming swinging a cricket bat effeminately, responded: ‘Oh, cricket?  It’s a fag game.’  This comes hard on the heels of his last year’s anti-gay comments made during his annual telethon for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

The comment and gesture broadcast on Australian channel Network Ten’s telecast last night has The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and the Australian Coalition for Equality calling for an apology.

Saw V: Slow, Painful Death!

Halloween may be round the corner, but there are better ways to get the goose bumps than watch Saw V’s signature gruesome deaths.  The film is about five people, who awake to find themselves faced with a painful ultimatum.  Collared and attached to a pulley system, they can either free themselves, or risk decapitation fighting each other.

This fifth film of the series focuses more on storytelling than trying to shock viewers with blood and gore.  There is only one scene early on in the film that evokes a desired reaction in the clearly bored audience.
