- Best. Trading. Day. Ever. (Xanadu cast ringing the NASDAQ closing bell earlier this week)
- Out actor Richard Griffiths to reprise his Equus role on Broadway. Oh, and that naked wizard kid, too.
- LGBT documentary series In the Life will receive the Academy's Ribbon of Hope Award for their coverage of HIV/AIDS issues on World AIDS Day (December 1st). Big congrats to In the Lifer Daniel Karslake (whom we recently interviewed about his film For the Bible Tells Me So) and his colleagues.
- 30 years ago today, Harvey Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, becoming the first openly gay person to hold that office. He was assassinated a little over one year later along with Mayor George Moscone. There are currently two biopics in motion about the gay rights pioneer, from gay filmmakers Bryan Singer and Gus Van Sant.
- Anyone see the John Cusack thriller 1408, about the haunted room? (crickets...) Ever-amusing Dan Savage pulled the same trick in visiting the hotel defamed by shamed, hustler-lovin' Republican Washington rep Richard Curtis, and it's just as scary/hilarious.
