Puhleez help us oh Lord! Not only must we fight the homophobic world at large, we have to be wary of homophobia in the guise of gay films! “Taboo” is just one such film.

The year is 1865 - the location is Kyoto, Japan - and the scene is a samurai training school where new recruits are being tested with their fencing skills. These samurai warriors are to keep peace in a Kyoto which is being sorely tested

Q Comedy Staff Writer — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:26:29 +0000

In a climate when most truth is inconvenient, trusted veteran weathergirl/comic Kate Clinton tracks the rapidly changing affronts of homophobia, the high atmosphere clashing of religious and secular systems, the aftermath of hurricanes of government neglect and the low pressure of despair. Unlike other reporters, content to report from the comfortable studio of complacency, she reports in her little yellow slicker of comedy, buffeted by the winds of war, almost blinded by the driving sleet of sexism. Based on her daily analysis, and long range study of weather patterns, she forecasts the high pressure of working for peace and that it will indeed get lighter toward the daybreak of justice. Tracklist includes Miss Construe, Guest Worker, Buckshot Lunch, Croc of Gold, [Hucka] Bee Colony Collapse, Fagadoodle, I 8 Suze Orman, and Deadline Comic.

Thay-uh always so … so … boring. So much “day-in-the-life” style and not enough DRAMA. An this queen needs her drama. Yes. Ta is a victim of American movie pablum.
