From "Milk" to "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert," the Gay and Lesbian Entertainment Critics Association, of which I'm a proud voting member, has released the Top 10 Best LGBTQA movies every non-LGBTQA must and should see! And I agree with all the selections. Some are brutally and politically honest, some are just fun but all speak volumes about the history of LGBTQA in and around the world of cinema!
Here's the complete press release with the aforementioned list! Do you agree?
November 24, 2015 Hollywood, Ca.: Just in time for the holidays, as they say . . . the Gay and Lesbian Entertainment Critics Association (galeca.org) today announced its memberships picks for their second GALECA Ten Best list: The 10 Best LBGTQA Films GALECA Every Non-LGBTQA Person Should See!
Oscar winners to community classics to modern independent discoveries theres a movie for every persuasion here.
Critics from the 120-member organization submitted their personal choices for the list, selecting titles from a list of guidelines. The picks had to be feature-length (70 minutes or longer) narrative films released theatrically in the US. TV movies, documentaries and short films were not eligible.
Our primary goal was to present films that we thought not only best reflected LGBTQA life and history but which were also cinematically compelling and even groundbreaking. We weren't looking for a traditional list of feel-good, positive portrayals of our world. We looked for love and stars. Laughs and scars. Bad boys, mean girls and veritable wars. We looked at it all.
The films on this list run the gamut, from realism to sensationalism to eye-catching stops in between. They may not always be the most perfect representations of our community, but they are facets. The sheer diversity in this list showcases just how broad LGBTQ entertainment journalists interests and influences reach even via such a narrow category!
Here, in alphabetical order, is:
GALECAs Ten Best LBGTQA Films Non-LGBTQA Person Should See!
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert: Twenty-one years ago, Australia brought the world this tale of the outlandish and endearing adventures of two drag queens and a transsexual, a trio who blaze a trail across the Outback to a drag performance at the continents center. Mitzi Del Bra (Hugo Weaving), Felicia Jollygoodfellow (Guy Pearce) and Bernadette Bassenger (Terence Stamp) embarked on a clandestine journey fueled by an infectious disco soundtrack (Gloria Gaynor! ABBA!) that would be at home in any good club.
More than portraying drag queens with a sensational truth, director Stephen Elliots joyful film glimmered with vibrant visuals and Oscar-winning costume design that remain influential today. Yet amid the lip-syncing, frock-wearing and smack-talking irreverence is a simple story of three men. One wants to be there for his son (Weaving). One wants to escape the misery surrounding the departure of an accepting husband. One just wants to explore life outside the cesspool of the big city without realizing that finding safety so far from home isn't as easy as it seems. A holiday parable, if you will.
(U.S. release date: August 10, 1994. Running time: 104 minutes. Fox Home Entertainment.)
Boys Dont Cry: A provocative milestone in LGBTQA cinema, co-writer/director Kimberly Peirces knockout feature debut relays the true-life story of Brandon Teena (Oscar winner Hilary Swank). Born Teena Brandon, as a young trans man Brandon assumed his male identity and went out looking for love, peace and harmony in the politically repressed community of Falls City, Nebraska. Living in the closet, Brandon found little peace and harmony, but he did find love in the form of a woman, Lana Tisdel (Oscar-nominated Chloë Sevigny). His love and his time here would be short-lived.
Upon release, Boys Dont Cry opened up widespread dialogue about gender identity, violence toward the LGBTQA community, female sexuality and a lot more that, frankly, too many take for granted as par for the discourse in todays discussion about queer identity, theory and rights. Let your conversations begin.
(U.S. release date: Oct. 8, 1999. Running time: 116 minutes. Fox Searchlight Pictures.)
Brokeback Mountain: Modern audiences have become increasingly more accepting of gay relationships on the big screen, with much of the credit going to the decades-spanning Brokeback Mountain. Painted with humanity and genuine emotion by master filmmaker Ang Lee, the film followed two ranch hands, Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal), as they find love and fairly graphic passion on a bleak mountainside in 1963. Returning to the normal" world, over the years they find their hearts crushed by the strictures of society.
Ledger and Gyllenhaal, both nominated for Oscars, are superb crafting scintillating portrayals of tortured gay men at a time that the general public demeaned and isolated them. One the most famous and influential gay dramas ever made, the Brokeback Mountain speaks achingly to the power of love, regardless of gender, and to the unhealthy mandates of a society that builds itself on prejudice and hate. And the ending puts it in the ranks of classic tear-jerkers like Splendor in the Grass.
(Release date: December 9, 2005. Running time: 134 minutes. Focus Features.)
Hedwig and the Angry Inch: The film version of John Cameron Mitchell's stage musical, about an East German singer who attempts to come to terms with the botched sex-change operation that left her with an "angry inch," has rightly developed a cult following. Taking musical conventions and turning them on their bejeweled ear, the movie digs its painted nails into an infrequently celebrated subculture and winds up more than enlightening.
Starring Mitchell in the title role, Hedwig angrily, but astutely, observes the state of gender identity at the turn of the 21st Century, long before the transgender rights movement went into full swing. It's a rousing, intense experience powered by original, hard-pounding rock tunes that demands at least one viewing even if said intensity seems initially off-putting. Sorry Dr. Frank-N-Furter, but this is one triumphant, and wicked, little musical.
(U.S. release date: January 19, 2001. Running time: 91 minutes. New Line Cinema)
The Kids Are All Right: In the end, all any of us can hope for is a little piece of this world where we can build a family and live the life we've always wanted. Co-writer/director Lisa Cholodenkos The Kids Are All Right vividly paints the portrait of a suburban family whose peaceful veneer is cracked by curiosity and doubt. Starring Oscar nominees Annette Bening and Julianne Moore as a lesbian couple whose two children (Mia Wasikowska and Josh Hutcherson) seek out and insert their biological father (Oscar-nominated Mark Ruffalo) into their dynamic, the film tackles common issues facing many modern families.
Equally strong performances from Ruffalo, Wasikowska and Hutcherson make this a wonderful slice of modern-family life, albeit a slightly idealized version. Anyone who champions a functional and loving world will find Kids perfect long-weekend company.
(U.S. release date: July 9, 2010. Running time: 104 min. Focus Features.)
Longtime Companion: That title suggests coziness, but Companions subject matter and effect is profound. Exploring the AIDS epidemic at a time when film was too afraid to even utter the acronym, this drama, set in the early 1980s, features a group of gay friends as they come to terms with the mysterious disease that is killing them off. The panic and the outcry within the community contrasting, the prejudice and willful ignorance on both sides . . . this is a true tragedy.
The films cinematic importance cannot be understated. The films studio release, at a time when the fear of AIDS was reaching a nadir, was something of a marvel. Another brick in the wall of hate crumbled. Knowing this film is tantamount to feeling enlightened and enriched.
(U.S. release date: May 11, 1990. Running time: 100 minutes. Samuel Goldwyn Company.)
Maurice: Who doesnt love a clandestine period romance compliments of Merchant-Ivory productions? In 1909, Maurice (James Wilby) meets fellow Cambridge student Clive Durham (Hugh Grant). At first each man is unsure if the other is, well, you know . . . and its not like they can ask around to find out. As the two negotiate their feelings, the pressures of society mount until one of them spoiler ahead capitulates to the bourgeois society and enters into oh, dear a lovelorn marriage. The remaining bachelor moves on, hoping to find the love that does not bare its name.
Director and cowriter James Ivorys adaptation of E.M. Forsters novel exquisitely captures the love and longing of young gay men in Edwardian England. From the sets to the scenery to the (Oscar-nominated) costumes, the film is loaded with such style, one may wish it were once again those grand ol repressive times. Viewers will relish, though, the progressive-thinking capper. Sit down, swap out Downton Abbey, and pass the cognac.
(U.S. release date: Sept. 1, 1987. Running time: 139 mins. Lorimar Home Video.)
Milk: Featuring a thoughtful, tour-de-force performance by Sean Penn (Oscars choice for Best Actor), director Gus Van Sants biopic of civil rights icon Harvey Milk the first openly gay person to be elected to office in California (in 1978) and who was later assassinated by a former colleague stands as a supremely affecting biopic.
Politics, betrayal, love, lust, jealousy, suicide Milks story was all there in the halls of history, and the screenplay by Lance Black (also an Oscar-winner) brought it to vivid life before our eyes. James Franco charms as one of Milks lovers. And, yes, Josh Brolin chillingly evinces the icons killer Dan White. But Milks message of courage lasts on and on, instilling an image of its firebrand subject as fun, big-hearted, confident and persistent. Hes good company.
(U.S. release date: Nov. 26, 2008. Running time: 128 min. Focus Features.)
My Beautiful Laundrette: Set against the backdrop of Thatchers tumultuous and reactionary England, director Stephen Frears film tells the tale of two lovers, Omar (Gordon Warnecke), a Pakastani, and his old friend, Johnny (Daniel Day-Lewis), a local gang member. Thanks to Omar, the two begin to run a laundry matt together. But this is lower-class England, where there is always trouble looming for immigrants and young, gay men.
Featuring Hanif Kureishis Oscar-nominated screenplay, My Beautiful Laundrette sets itself in a milieu where most films, let alone gay films, fear to tread. Its characters are real working class people with real, hard-to-fix problems. Laundrette also put Day-Lewis, in just his fourth film, on Hollywoods hot list. For good reason! (U.S. release date: Sept. 7, 1985. Running time: 93 mins. Orion Classics.)
Weekend: One Friday night, Russell (Tom Cullen) and Glen (Chris New) meet at a gay club. The two go back to Russells and have sex. From that night on, these two strangers begin to develop an intimate and somewhat intellectual relationship, delving into the nature of identity and love over the course of a weekend. Russell and Glens encounter will leave an indelible impression on each other and viewers as well.
The youngest title on our list, writer-director Andrew Haighs second narrative feature was also GALECAs Dorian Award winner for 2011s Film of the Year and LGBT-Themed Film of the Year. Obviously, we dig this film. What more do we need to say?
(U.S. release date: Sept. 23, 2011. Running time: 96 min. IFC Films.)

Its finally here! The last chapter of The Hunger Games saga! Is Mockingjay Part 2 a worthy entry to the consistent series? Does it end with a whimper or a bang? Take a look at my review!
Here's the film's synopsis from Wiki:
With the nation of Panem in a full-scale revolutionary war, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) confronts President Snow (Donald Sutherland) in the final showdown. Teamed with a group of her closest friends including Gale (Liam Hemsworth), Finnick (Sam Claflin), Cressida (Natalie Dormer) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) Katniss goes off on a mission with the District 13 unit as they risk their lives to liberate the citizens of Panem, and stage an assassination attempt on President Snow who has become increasingly obsessed with destroying her. Although rebels - including fellow victors, Johanna (Jena Malone), Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), and Beetee (Jeffrey Wright) - now control most of Panem, the Girl on Fire must still overcome one last challenge to win President Snow's "game" - to conquer the Capitol at the risk of losing her friends and loved ones. The mortal traps, enemies, and moral choices that await Katniss will challenge her more than any arena she faced in the Hunger Games as she realizes the stakes are no longer just for survival they are for the future of Panem.

Johnny Depp to Receive Desert Palm Achievement Award at 27th Palm Springs International Film Festival
Whether he likes it or not, Johnny Depp is going to be a part of this year's Awards Season for his mesmerizing portrayal of Whitey Bulger in "Black Mass" (See my review right here).
The actor, previously nominated for "Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl," "Finding Neverland," and "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street," infamously told BBC Newsbeat that he "doesn't want to win one of those things ever." Well, guess what? He maybe nominated and perhaps win! Why? Because he's just been baptized by the Palm Springs International Film Festival with its Desert Palm Achievement Award. And that's a good sign as we traverse Awards Season.
This is in my hood and I'll give you reports from the red carpet! Here's the complete press release:
Palm Springs, CA (November 17, 2015) The 27th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival (PSIFF) will present Johnny Depp with the Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actor at its annual Awards Gala for his performance in Black Mass. Each year the festival selects an actor and actress to receive this award. The Awards Gala, hosted by Mary Hart and presenting sponsor Entertainment Tonight, will be held Saturday, January 2, at the Palm Springs Convention Center. The Festival runs January 1-11.
Johnny Depp is one of the most versatile and dynamic actors of our time, said Festival Chairman Harold Matzner. In his latest film, Black Mass, Depp, in a stunning transformation, creates a gripping and multi-layered portrait of infamous gangster James Whitey Bulger. He delivers an astounding performance that has earned raves from both critics and audiences and is sure to garner awards attention. It is our honor to present the 2016 Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actor, to Johnny Depp.
Past actor recipients of the Desert Palm Achievement Award include Jeff Bridges, Bradley Cooper, Daniel Day-Lewis, Colin Firth, Matthew McConaughey, Sean Penn, Brad Pitt and Eddie Redmayne. In the years they were honored, Bridges, Day-Lewis, McConaughey, Penn and Redmayne went on to win the Academy Award® for Best Actor, while Cooper, Firth and Pitt received Oscar® nominations.
Depp can currently be seen in Black Mass, which tells of the unholy alliance between ruthless mobster James Whitey Bulger (Depp) and childhood friend-turned-FBI agent, John Connolly (Joel Edgerton). The bond, forged growing up on the streets of South Boston, would test the limits of loyalty in a town that answers to its own unwritten code. Blinded by ambition, Connolly convinces Bulger to inform on their common enemy, the Italian Mafia. The deal allows Bulger to expand his criminal empire with complete impunity, threatening to destroy both men, their families, and the very city that made them. Based on true events, the film is directed by Scott Cooper and features an ensemble cast, also including Benedict Cumberbatch, Rory Cochrane, Jesse Plemons, Dakota Johnson, Julianne Nicholson, Kevin Bacon, W. Earl Brown, David Harbour, Corey Stoll, Peter Sarsgaard, Adam Scott and Juno Temple. The screenplay is by Mark Mallouk and Jez Butterworth, based on the book by Dick Lehr and Gerard ONeil. Produced by John Lesher, Brian Oliver, Scott Cooper, Patrick McCormick and Tyler Thompson.
Depp is a three-time Academy Award nominee for Best Actor for his work in Finding Neverland, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Over the last three decades, Depps diverse range of roles has made him one of the leading actors of his generation including performances in John Waters Cry Baby, Benny & Joon, Lasse Hallstroms Whats Eating Gilbert Grape,Chocolat, Mike Newells Donnie Brasco, Terry Gilliams Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Ted Demmes Blow, The Libertine, Michael Manns Public Enemies, and several collaborations with Tim Burton including Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood and Sleepy Hollow.

Recently the two coke machines in the back of the store have been removed due to our Coke vendors neglecting the machines [Either the machines didn't work or they were out of everything. Always.] And I rarely, if ever, drink pop [soda, sodapop, depending on where you live] for a variety of reasons [the sugar, the calories, the way it strips the enamel off your teeth, the link to obesity and problems with bone density, etc.] and I found that I really didn't miss it. Oh, I'd have a Dr.Pepper now and then but only on rare occasion. I'm more interested in coffee for my caffeine fix. I love coffee like a fat kid loves cake.
But then, the coke machine was gone. Suddenly I had Coca Cola on the brain. I've been craving it ever since, I even had a dream about it last night. So today at lunch I bought one of the 20oz. bottles for $1.61 and drank [almost] the entire 240 calories of it. Which is saying something because normally I'm a terrible pop-drinker. I'm the type that will open a can, drink half, and throw the rest away.
I think it's that whole forbidden fruit thing.

Economy Shrinks More Than What Was Expected
The Commerce Department reports that the nation's economy shrank at 6.1 percent pace in the first quarter, worse than economists had expected. While consumer spending rebounded, businesses cut back sharply and U.S. exports saw their biggest drop in 40 years.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
NPR's business news starts with the shrinking economy.
(Soundbite of music)
MONTAGNE: Hopes for a speedy economic recovery were dashed this morning when the Cmmerce Department released its latest numbers on economic growth. The government says gross domestic product, a key measure of an economy's size and health, decreased more than 6 percent in the first quarter of the year. To find out more, we've got NPR's Jim Zarroli on the line.
Good morning, Jim.
JIM ZARROLI: Hi, Renee.
MONTAGNE: Now, that number is more than many economists had expected. Still not as bad a number as the previous quarter's GDP declined, but why so much disappointment?
ZARROLI: Yeah, it's a bit better than it was in the fourth quarter, but really only a bit better. I mean, for all intents and purposes, the economy just didn't improve much at all during the first quarter. And that was disappointing. I mean, we're really at the point in this recession where people are looking for any sign they can find that things are starting to get better. It's the green shoots you hear about. So, you know, you'll have a - a report comes out on, like, on housing sales, for instance, and maybe it says, you know, oh, sales aren't falling quite as far as they - fast as they were last month. And people really seize on this.
And then you have the bears who say, well, wait a minute. You're jumping the gun. This recession isn't over yet. And really, the report that came out today bolsters the bears' case. It's really the worst six-month period since 1958 for the U.S. economy.
MONTAGNE: Why was this decline worse, though, than people expected? What are the elements of it?
ZARROLI: Well, the economy underperformed in a number of areas. Housing construction fell 38 percent. We've seen something of an increase in housing sales this year because people are working through the old inventory of houses, a lot of them distressed properties. But they aren't building new homes. You have businesses that are cutting spending on equipment and software, for instance, on commercial construction. You had a drop in government spending, which might have been something of a statistical fluke. It's sort of counterintuitive, given the government spending that's going on. That should improve as the stimulus spending begins to work its way through the economy.
You also had a big drop in exports. The only reason the trade figures weren't worse this time around was because imports dropped even more. But neither of those is especially good for the economy.
MONTAGNE: So were there any bright spots?
ZARROLI: There were some. And the biggest was - an important one was a surprising increase in consumer spending. It had fallen, I think, 4.3 percent in the last quarter of 2008. It was up 2.2 percent in the first three months of 2009. So people seem to be spending again. That's a good thing, because as you've probably heard many times, consumer spending is a really big part of the U.S. economy. Also - and this is a little bit harder to understand, perhaps -companies - we're seeing a drop in business inventories. In other words, companies have a lot of goods on their shelves. They haven't been able to sell them, and they're beginning to work their way through them. And when they do, they'll start making new products again, and that's when you'll start to see the economy pick up.
Working through inventories is usually a kind of precursor to an economic rebound. So that can be a good thing.
MONTAGNE: And Jim, the Federal Reserve is meeting today, can't hardly lower interest rates anymore. Is there anything that it - any move that it can make in light of this disappointing GDP report?
ZARROLI: No. It can't lower rates. But you're going to see a statement. People will be looking at that to try to get a sense of where Fed officials think the economy is going. Do they see any green shoots? Are they optimistic that, you know, some of the extraordinary measures that they have been pursuing in the past few months to get the economy moving are working. If they - if there's anything positive, people will respond to that. There could be something of a reaction in the financial markets.
MONTAGNE: Jim, thanks very much.
ZARROLI: You're welcome.

U.S. GDP Shrinks At 6.1 Percent Pace In 1st Quarter
The U.S. economy turned in a worse-than-expected performance in the first three months of the year, contracting at a 6.1 percent annual rate — far more than the 5 percent decline analysts had expected.
The Commerce Department report on Wednesday came on the same day that the Federal Reserve said it sees signs the recession could be easing. The Fed left its key interest rate, already at zero, unchanged.
The latest gross domestic product figure, which follows a 6.3 percent annualized contraction for the fourth quarter of 2008, underscores that the worst recession since the 1930s could be a long way from over.
GDP measures the total output of goods and services. The Commerce Department's advance report comes as President Obama marks his 100th day in office, a milestone that puts a spotlight on his handling of the recession, which began in December 2007.
The Commerce report showed that business inventories fell a record $103.7 billion in the first quarter, as businesses sought to get rid of unsold stock. The emptied warehouses slashed 2.79 percentage points from the overall GDP figure. Excluding inventories, GDP contracted 3.4 percent.
Widespread Weakness Overwhelms Consumer Rebound
The report also showed reductions in exports, home building, equipment and software. Consumer spending, however, was up 2.2 percent, its biggest gain in two years.
The sharp cuts underscore the toll the recession and the loss of some 5.1 million jobs have taken on the economy, despite the government's economic stimulus plan and the Federal Reserve's move to cut a key bank lending rate to a record low near zero.
The president is counting on his $787 billion stimulus of tax cuts and increased government spending on big public works projects to help bolster economic activity later this year.
The Federal Reserve said the stimulus and the financial rescue plan should gradually help restore economic activity. It issued a slightly less pessimistic statement than at its mid-March meeting, saying that while the economy continued to contract "the pace of contraction appears to be somewhat slower."
But the recent outbreak of the swine flu poses a new danger. If the flu stifles trade and forces consumers to cut back further, it would worsen the recession.
Before the flu outbreak, Bernanke said the recession could end this year if the government succeeds in stabilizing the shaky financial system and getting banks to lend again.

Downing Street announced that Woyin Karowei Dorgu is to be the 13 th bishop of Woolwich , and will be consecrated at Southwark Cathedral on 17 March .
Dorgu was born and brought up in Nigeria, and ordained in the UK . Woolwich , in south- east London , has a significant Nigerian population, many of whom worship in black -majority Pentecostal churches rather than the C of E . At a press conference at Southwark Cathedral , Dorgu said one of his priorities as bishop would be to celebrate the racial diversity of the Woolwich area .
He said he intended to "encourage BAME [black and minority ethnic] vocations and more participation in ministry ". " I will celebrate the diversity in race, ability , gender , sexuality and class … Celebrating our differences is a gift, " he added .
On the same note,the only other black bishop in the Church of England is John Sentamu, now archbishop of York – second in the church hierarchy – who was consecrated as bishop of Stepney 20 years ago.

Nice work,
I have 2 kittens. Kusko and Patcha (characters from the emperors new groove)
Kusko is a Himalayan white with blue eyes, the cutest and most scared cat I have ever seen. Patcha is black and a menace. He likes to give love but at 4 in the morning I do not need him to sit on my face.
Good luck. When they get a few weeks older they become a lot more demanding.

From 1st January 2018, Fire Science Reviews will merge with Fire Technology. All archives for Fire Science Reviews will be available on the Fire Technology website.
To prepare for this merger, new submissions of reviews should be directed to the Fire Technology submission site from 1st September 2017.
By Maria E. Garlock, University of Princeton
Structural Design for Fire Safety is an essential resource for structural engineers seeking knowledge in how to analyze and design structures for fire. It is comprehensive, accessible, well organized, and perhaps the most efficient and effective book for learning about structural fire engineering. Current events continue to indicate that fires can cause significant structural damage, even structural collapse, in buildings and bridges. Yet generally the profession does not have the educational preparation for analyzing such behavior, hence the significance of this book.
