All I had to do was mention that many fanboys at the Comic Con were disgustingly sweaty from the extreme heat and that a lot of people showed up in steampunk costumes. That was all I had to do to induce dozens of people to send me emails with a link to Goths in Hot Weather. GothsInHotWeather is one of those ironic sites where they obsess about something while claiming not to really like it or care about it. Sort of like Perez Hilton. In case this was not painfully apparently already, the site addresses the issue of some gothic attire being a poor fit for overly warm weather. Humorous concept and domain, but it sort of states the obvious.
If you do not get the play on words in Sean Abley’s Fangoria blog name Gay of the Dead, I’m not sure you are reading the correct site. If you get it, Sean Abley is the creator of the Socket movie and he is writing a column on a gay view of horror. Some of the entries include depressing information such as that teen idol Wesley Eure from Land of the Lost was fired for being gay. The blog is at its best when Abley’s sense of humor shines through. A favorite entry of mine is when he explains how he justified the Friday the 13th box set as a press freebie he needed for writing for The Advocate: “Jason is the gay horror fan’s Judy Garland. A “special” child forced into the spotlight by a domineering mother. In the beginning controlled by the powers that be with little or no regard for their personal well-being. Then incapable of living life without the crutches—a bolt of lightening to get up in the morning, an ax to the head to get to sleep, a vicious cycle impossible to break. In middle-age driven to the spotlight in a pathological quest for the attention that has become their sustenance. Then a string of “comebacks” even though, in their mind, they never left. And in the end, gone far too soon, leaving the world to wonder where they might have gone had their talent been left unchecked.”
According to the UK’s Sun Online reporter James Hyatt, the estate of Dr. Who creator Terry Nation is not amused by the Dalek porno flick which was recently selling on eBay for around thirty pounds. The Abducted by the Daleks DVD apparently includes subdom themed vignettes of Daleks supervising lesbian sex slaves going at it and occasionally groping the girls with their Daleky groping attachments. In the article, Tim Hancock, director of the estate of things long-scarfed, is quoted as declaring “The reason the Daleks are still the most sinister thing in the universe is because they do not make things like porn.” So there you have it. Porn is not sinister because Daleks don’t do it. Or at least they only did it that one time in the 70′s with those hot disco chicks and they blame the ludes and Saturday Night Fever. Drug and Gibb-free, there is no way they would ever have had Dalek relations with those women.
Okay, you’ve celebrated Valentines Day and Lupercalia and now you need the opportunity to laugh about both Hallmark love holidays and fertility. You need look no farther than the the online archive of the old BLT punk rock humor zine I mentioned earlier. The Valentine’s Day/Birth Control issue of BLT is taglined Boyfriends, Lesbians, & Truth. My favorite part includes a recount of why horror effects artist Tom Savini should have worked for Planned Parenthood. Other high points include a lesbian stepmom married to a guy with a vasectomy trying to teach his daughter how to use a condom and a quiz to tell if it’s really love or just too many mind-altering substances.
