I'll get this out of the way up front: I'm not much of a fan of romances of any sexual orientation. But I am a fan of cultural curiosities, so sitting through two new polar-opposite romances in a single week provided its own brand of overwrought appeal. While the diverting (though a bit overearnest) Zac Efron vehicle/longform Hgh infomercial The Lucky One is poised to invade the hearts of millions this weekend, another romance of a very different breed opens in limited release in New York City (with a run in La to follow in May).
Going Down in La-la Land tells the story of Adam (Matthew Ludwinski), an aspiring actor who relocates from NYC to Los Angeles to live with his longtime friend and fellow fame-seeker, Candy (Allison Lane).

Going Down in La-La Land | Review - aGLIFF 2011 (Austin Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival)
Director: Caspar Andreas Writers: Caspar Andreas (screenplay), Andy Zeffer (novel) Starring: Matthew Ludwinski, Allison Lane, Caspar Andreas, Michael Medico Going Down in La-La Land, directed by Caspar Andreas, follows the story of young, beautiful Adam (Matthew Ludwinski). Having finished acting school in New York City, Adam decides to move to Hollywood in order to pursue his dreams of making it big as an actor. He moves in with his best friend Candy (Allison Lane), herself an aspiring actress. Candy, however, lacks Adam’s motivation to even look for a job of any sort, let alone an acting gig, much to her husband’s annoyance. Candy’s primary concerns are her looks and having a rich man take care of her, and Hollywood gossip of course. Candy convinces Adam to join her gym with his last few dollars as she regards it as the best place to network. She isn’t entirely wrong about this.

Sean Hayes is set to play Larry in The Three Stooges, joining Will Sasso as Curley. I’ll be honest, if any of the Stooges ever pinged my gaydar it was always Curley, but I can see Hayes in this role – he’s a great physical comedian.
Don’t get any ideas, Mr. Jensen.
Texas is pushing a bill that would require any university that has a Glbt studies program to spend an equal number of dollars promoting heterosexual studies. I just hope they wrote the law as reciprocal, because I’d love to see a bunch of liberal academics decide to explain how 99% of everything in the world promotes heterosexuality, so they need to dump billions into gay studies to equal things out.
Voting opens today fo the MTV O Music Awards, and some of your favorites are up. Head on over and make the gay voice heard!
Torchwood is still the same show,...
