Dub-ya: A Tragedy of Words to be Played out on the Big Screen

From Ion Cinema.com:

The heavy weight bout to take place on the 4th of November finally has its pair of marquee names confirmed. Hopefully, during the forthcoming six months-worth of trash talk between the Obama/McCain camps, the media won’t lose sight of the person who’ll be giving up the oval office seat. What these two candidates are fighting for is someone else’s huge mess and come October, Oliver Stone’s already highly publicized W. will remind the world on the type of person who had trouble picking up after himself.

Written by Stanley Weiser, this focuses on the life and presidency of George W. Bush and how he went from ‘being an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world’. This shows Bush’s eventful life — his struggles and triumphs, how he found both his wife and his faith, and of course the critical days leading up to Bush’s decision to invade Iraq…(website)

Dyke March on saturday Pride parade on Sunday

…

There’s more to do this weekend than just the Philadelphia Pride Parade on Sunday:

…

10th Annual Dyke March, Saturday at 3pm. Kahn Park.

’sWHAM! That the sound of a DIY, punk rock, grassroots lesbian fist sinking into the pudgy, bloated, pasty face of co-opted gay corporate whoredom. The Philly Dyke March “is not a parade or a stroll.” It’s a fuck-the-bourgie-pink-dollar-chasing Pride demo/party that attacks “bullshit patriarchy,” subverts the well-heeled flibbertigibbet middle-class “gay” stereotype, reclaims the politics of sexuality for the scruffy, poor and angry and yells defiantly, “You don’t have to pay to be gay!” Who’ll you meet at this fun event? According to the “organizers” (if you’ll forgive the patriarchal slip of the tongue) one might find oneself marching beside “babydykes, mamichulas, gender outlaws, old butches, queer grrrls, dyke daddies, virgin bisexuals, girl scouts gone bad, bulldaggers, crones, nuns on the run [and] lesbian octogenarians.” Sadly, no lesbians trapped in men’s bodies (my own group), because that would just be wrong. Hot damn, there’s poetry to be found in the resistance to oppression. Cue spontaneous mass singing of “You can stick your corporate patriarchy up your arse!” to the tune of “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain When She Comes.” (Steven Wells, Philadelphia Weekly)
