For the Bible Tells Me SoOut on DVD: For the Bible Tells Me So, Rhinoceros Eyes
It's been a while since we've done an Out on DVD post on Tuesday, but the sad fact is that there really hasn't been all that much coming down the gay pike lately. But today there are a few releases of interest...

What I'm thankful for in gay entertainment this year, in no particular order: Neil Patrick Harris on "How I Met Your Mother" – One of the most underrated shows on TV and also one of my favorites. NPH deserves oodles of awards for his scene-stealing role as the self-centered, womanizing (yet still totally lovable) Barney. It’s a performance that’s legen... wait for it... dary! Alex Sanchez’s The God Box – I’ve been on a gay young adult fiction kick recently and just finished Sanchez’s latest. I'm a big fan of his Rainbow Boys series, so my expectations were high going into this one. It didn’t disappoint. I’m always impressed at how well Sanchez is able to blend education and entertainment in his novels without ever making the reader feel as though they're being beaten over the head with the nutritious stuff. Ugly Betty- Much has been written about the show on this site, so I’ll just say that I adore it. It’s the gayest show currently on network television and the most consistently entertaining.
Enchanted – I cannot wait to see this movie. I know it’s not technically gay, but it might as well be: For once Disney is actually poking fun at itself; the adorable Amy Adams (who’s consistently fantastic in every movie she’s in – just watch her Oscar-nominated performance in Junebug and tell me she doesn’t break your heart) plays an animated princess who gets transported to real-life New York City; it’s a musical; James Marsden plays prince charming, sings, and looks damn good doing it; and Susan Sarandon looks like she's having the time of her life chewing the scenery as the evil Gay Film Festivals – For the past few years, I've been attending my local gay film fest. It's always tons of fun and my moviegoing year wouldn't be half as gay without it. There's something heartening about being in an audience of GLBT people and seeing our own stories played out on the big screen. True, independent gay cinema is notorious for having more than it's share of awful films, but the fun is digging up the gems of the bunch. This year, my favorites included: The Bubble, For the Bible Tells Me So, The King and the Clown, Red Without Blue, and The Curiosity of Chance. And finally, I’m thankful for my wonderful boyfriend, Matt. Hey, he entertains me, so I say he counts. Submitted by on Wed, 2007-11-21 15:51. For the Bible Tells Me So makes the Oscar short list
Earlier this week, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences named the 15 films it was considering in the Documentary Feature category. That list includes For the Bible Tells Me So, Daniel Karslake's film exploring the topic of Christianity and homosexuality. Making the shortlist is a pretty big step towards walking away with the big gold guy: the current list of 15 was cut from 70 films. For the Bible Tells Me So's best-known competitor is Sicko. It also faces a number of war-themed documentaries including Body of War, which was co-directed by Phil Donahue. Congrats to Daniel Karslake for making it this far. We're keeping our fingers crossed for him! Submitted by on Wed, 2007-11-21 08:42. The Gephardts talk "For the Bible Tells Me So" on Wolf Blitzer In case you missed it, former Presidential candidate Dick Gephardt and his lesbian daughter Chrissy appeared on Wolf Blitzer last night to talk about their participation in the documentary For the Bible Tells Me So. (That's them in the poster.) We have an interview with the director Daniel Karslake running on the main page today, and I encourage those folks living in cities where the film is playing to check it out, as it gives a long-overdue voice to families and theologians alike who refuse to accept the popular wisdom that faith and gayness are mutually exclusive. And of course it's always encouraging to see a politician (or any parent, for that matter) speak in unconditional support of their gay child. Submitted by on Tue, 2007-10-16 16:03. "For the Bible Tells Me So" opens today
This week I had a chance to check out the new documentary For the Bible Tells Me So, which tells the stories of five Christian families at various stages of reconciling their faith with their having gay children (yes, that's the Gephardts in the poster!) and presents a fascinating discussion about what the Bible really says about homosexuality (from a wealth of resources going all the way up to Archbishop Desmond Tutu). We'll have a full review of the film and a brand-spanking new interview with director Daniel Karslake up next week. But in the meantime I encourage you to see the film this weekend if it's playing in your area (cities listed after the break). Here's a teaser of our chat with Karslake to hopefully nudge you along... AfterElton.com: A documentary about the Bible is not exactly the sexiest, most marquee-ready thing...
