Reaching to the Choir
From travelling religous road-shows to Battlefield Earth, shilling to the service is nothing new. Part of Passion of the Christ's $370 million domestic gross came from "grass roots" marketing aimed at repeat viewings from church groups.
Now these groups can pay more. According to the AP wire, Sam's Club will offer 50-DVD "penance packs" of Passion of the Christ for $898. That's just $17.96 a Passion pop. Get your customized INSERT YOUR CHURCH'S NAME HERE video slipcases, then sell it back to the choir at $30 even.
Secular movies aimed at the "grass roots" market could also benefit with a 50-pack and customized slipcases. Yes, we're talking to you, Fahrenheit 9/11 and Day Without a Mexican.

Last year's Matrix sequels opened a Pandora's box of crass synergistic tie-ins with the simultaneous release of TheAnimatrix. The straight-to-DVD comp ofanime shorts awkwardly complemented themovies with long backstory expositions andquestionable character introductions. Since
producers had the time between flicks, itgave animation's finest the time to sculpt somewhat decent entertainment.
Screw entertainment, something clicked withThe Animatrix that had nothing to dowith entertainment. Now three major summerreleases come with their own DVD toons. TheShrek DVD comes with Shrek 3-D,
fifteen bonus minutes of new content. TheChronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury, a standalone DVD release, features titularstar and veteran VO talent (Iron Giant)Vin Diesel. Van Helsing: The London Assignment is the animated prequelstarring the voice of Hugh Jackman (although
everyone knows VH sucks without David Lee Rothor Sammy Hagar). While these cartoon adventures take food out of Saturday morning cartoon
executives' mouths, it does broadenthe "myths" of the franchise-ready characters.
While I haven't succumbed and grabbed thesefrom Best Buy's impulse aisle, I think theymight be better than the Star Wars
Holiday Special. Marginally.
Why stop there? Here's a few suggestions for summer toon tie-ins:
Collateral Comics. Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx's likenesses return in this space-age sequel. The moody hit man, the gregarious taxi hack, and their talking dog Gulp accidentally fall into a spaceship and get sent to the Dark Side of the Moon, where it's always night. Jay Thomas (Cruise) and Nancy Cartwright (Foxx) provide voices.
Harold and Kumar Go to In-N-Out. West Coast prequel.
Today: The Day Before Tomorrow. Actually a comp of old Captain Planet episodes. Voice talent includes Jake Gyllenhaal's chest.
Brown Bunny Babies. Starring Vincent Gallo's prepubescent trouser snake.
Got a better one? Send it to comments. Winner gets photo of Jake Gyllenhaal.

From: CYNTHIA TURNER'S CYNOPSIS
Fox will launch a new reality series on June 7 called, Seriously, Dude, I'm Gay. In this show, two straight guys try to pass themselves off as gay. In the show, the two guys will be judged by a panel of gay people who will decide which of the two straight guys they believe is actually gay and therefore wins the cash prize of $50k. Raising a red flag on the potential of this series is GLAAD, Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, who allows they have not seen the show yet, but based on the premise it could be potentially offensive and the show "speaks to negative stereotypes." Fox has said they will make an advance copy for the show available for GLAAD to view.
If I was a judge my first and only question would be, "Will you suck this?" End of story.
Why is FOX doing another "Are they gay or not" show the last one they did was a huge bomb. They had to end it before the conclusion of the series.
these "R they gay" shows are a strange reflection of our times. We aren't quite ready to fully accept homosexuals yet. But we are willing to recognize them. On TV they are decorators or over the toop queens.
The RUGAY shows reflect the fear the Americans still have. "IS he a queer?"
TV shows still have punchlines where two men are put in "uncomfortable gay situation." What's so funny about that? Get it on!
MTV has fone a great job of introducing gay life to children. They just show it as regular life. The way too explicit dating show they had where a lucky person gets two suitors on a date and choose one mixed straight couples, interrogated couples, and gay couples.
Teens watching the MTV would accept gay and interracial couples as normal because that's how they saw it on TV growing up.
Instant reader feedback:With your theory, will they also accept going on a date with two people and fighting for a guy?

Do you think I'm Nazi?
FOX NEWS REPORTS ACTOR'S DAD WAS A NAZI
Is that news? Should we know very damaging thins about an actor?
Just when you thought that Keving Spacy was in trouble when he was "mugged" in a park, his brother tells Sharon Churcher (reports Fox News) that dad was a Nazi. (story below)
Most peopele speculate that Spacy is gay. In fact to be "in the know" in Hollywood you have to have a story ready about him and a partner.
"I work at this resturant and Spacy would come just to take out the waiter."
"When I drop off my shirts I see Spacy in the back with the back with the laudrer."
" I saw him walking his dog. It was a little dog in a big dog suit."
I don't know if these stories are true, but this guy sure can get around. When does he have time to shoot subpar films if he's spending all his time being gay?
Today's report is the most damaging. What does Spacy do? Come right out and say, "Ok, I'm gay. please ignore the Nazi stuff."
I feel bad for his brother, the low rent Jermain Jackson of the one celeb family that used a famous name and a family secret to ge this name on TV. He's a Rod Stewart impersonator by the way.

AOL has lowered their prices to $17.95/month to compete with other services. Now if they could just stop knocking me off line and stop pop ups and spam...
However, they're not doing much to inform their loyal customers of the potential savings.
If you call AOL at (888) 265- 8008, you can arrange to have your monthly fee lowered. It requires you to commit to a year of continued AOL service. You also have to have had AOL service for at least one year. You can be assured that this is legit, as they do not ask for your credit card number. It's quick and easy.
Has AOL admitted defeat? They walked around like a peacock and now they've been out done by fast and cheaper services.

LESS THAN CLASSY
Two of the main characters from the ABC Sitcom, "Less Than Perfect" sent out emails to all their friends to help save the office based comedy.
Desparate hours! ABC hasn't renewed the show yet. So why not write to everyone you know to get them to watch your show.
Dear all,
I know you've gotten a couple of mass emails from us recently, but none is as important as this.
After a brief hiatus, Less Than Perfect is back on the air, and we need to get the word out to everyone.
As the season winds down and there is still no word on a pickup for next year, now is the most crucial time to have strong viewership. Please, please, please, tune in on Tuesday (ABC 9:30pm, 8:30 central) and forward this email to everyone you know.
Thanks for your continued support. Every TV counts.
Sara and Mischa
PS - And if you're so inclined don't hesitate to write a letter to the president of ABC, explaining why you think Less Than Perfect is the best show on television.

----------------------------------------------------
To EVERYONE in my address book,
Yes EVERYONE. Don't think I'm a total a-hole just yet for sending you a mass email... This one's kinda important (but not really, in the grand scheme of things).
That TV show that I'm on, the one where I play the wacky neighbor / cheeky co-worker, yeah well that show is coming back on the air this Tuesday Night on ABC (9:30, 8:30 central 4/27/04) after a month-long hiatus (the network wanted to test out some show about gay in-laws in our time slot for a while). Anyway, that gay show is back on ABC's "Totally Gay Wednesday Family TV Night of Laughs and Gays and Fun! - TGWFTVNLGF!" and we're back on for the "May Sweeps" ratings period.
See, here's the thing, a few of us in the cast (not me so much) thought that it would be a great idea to let our close friends and family (EVERYONE in our address books) know that the show is back on the air tomorrow night. Anyway, we're a super-tight bunch and where just one goes, we all go (except for when just one of us goes somewhere cool on ABC's dime or to rehab for a while... then it's just the rest of us) so we're ALL emailing our close friends and family (EVERYONE in our address books) to let them know that "the single-funniest show NOT about gay people in America" is back on the air! WAHOO! Well, there is one gay on the show (not me), but you'll have to tune to find out who! (not me)
Past that, I want to thank you, whomever you are, for being in my life for what ever reason that would require that I have your email address. And again, please don't feel slighted for not receiving a more personal email from me. This email is the same one that my dear parents will be receiving, as well as a guy who did some crappy brick work on my home so if you're between those two parties, you're alright with me!
Here's the email that Sara Rue (star of "Less Than Perfect") sent out to EVERYONE in her address book that better explains... why I'm still sitting at my computer.
Thanks,
Will

Christina's own song makes her barf?
Each month I do variety/vaudeville show, "Below the Belt." We are developing the show in LA to take to Las Vegas.
Last night as the host Johnny Fayva was doing his rendition of Christina Aguilera's song, "Beautiful." By the end of the song, he strips to nipple tassels and a g string with hearts on it.
Christina was in the bar. She peaked her head into the performance room where her song was coming out from. There was Fayva in a G string eating food off of people's plates. She proceeded to go right into the bathroom to puke. We'd like to thin k it was Fayva's singing... She was so drunk, she went to the bathroom to puke. She had a girlfriend holding the stall door and her two huge security guards standing in front of the door. Then they tried to leave the restaurant. They were carrying her out the door. All you could see was her curly wig and hat in a sea of people holding her up. Then they brought her back in and she recovered in the dining room with her goons guarding her.
We like to think Johnny Fayva's version made her sick.
here's pictures of the show:

Martha leaves void in Daytime talk.
With Martha going to the can, some stations have dropped her. Others have stay with the guru of crap. KING WORLD says that they will continue to sell her show. That nice of them. Since they have contracts and tapes in the can. Why would they stop?
They'd only stop if there wasn't a demand for it anymore. That's called biznax.
But the question is who will replace the hole that Martha, Sharon Osborne, Wayne, Ricki!, and John Walsh will leave behind next year?
John Walsh: That hole was created By NBC Enterprises to make room for The Jane Pauly show. Walsh was doing ok, and over time he could've replaced Maury and Montel. Pauly won't work. She ain't warm or friendly. too newsie. Her naem appeals to advertisers, but not day time audiences.
Wayne is being dropped for Tony Danza. Even after Wayne won two Emmys advertisers still fled. That's worse than being found guilty for securities fraud. No advertisers? Now, that's a reason to pull a show. I guess Danza can be more appealing than Brady and Pauly. BUt it's another show that will fight over the same guest. Somehow Ellen became the place to bring the A-list celebs in LA. Maybe Danza's appeal will be the same with publisits.

Spalding Gray RIP
I can't count the times I sat through some performance artist's one-man show and thought, "God, why can't this guy be as good as Spalding Gray?" Gray, whose body was found today in the East River, remains one of my favorite performers from the 1980s. Anyone who thinks one-man shows are glorified yapfests should see "Monster In a Box." Pieces about writer's block can be self-indulgent, but I was hooked within ten minutes.
I remember this fantastic article he wrote about him and Laurie Anderson posing for pictures at the bowling alley in NYC's Port Authority, only they couldn't figure out how to look as if they were bowling. His self-deprecating humor will be missed. He deserves better than the ironic dek currently on the SF
Chronicle's website: "Star of 'Swimming to
Cambodia' is pulled from the East River in N.Y."
