Give It To Bushie by The Hot Blog

You know... a guy has two shoes thrown at him... and comes up smirking... gotta kinda admire that kind of Maverickiness. True, these are the only shoes that have come Bush's way that didn't end up in his mouth, but... seriously folks... tip your...

Raddon Resigns by The Hot Blog

I don't have the time to get into this in any detail, as I am about to catch a plane. And to quickly throw something up would be unfair. But I wanted to leave a space where people can discuss it if they like. And here it is...

One Last (I Hope) Thought On Prop 8 by The Hot Blog

The greatest irony is that so many feel so bad for a nice young man with a family because he might, at some point, lose his job because he helped fund the Prop 8 effort.. But he will not lose his right to work. If people in the film festival business...

The Biggest Change Since The Election by The Hot Blog

The discussion of post partum blogging came up before the election, so I thought I would speak to it... Really, I'm just not watching a minimum of 5 hours a day of political shows, reading 15 websites, clicking on Sullivan hourly, checking HuffPo...

Prop 8 Battle Hits Hollywood's Indie Community At Home by The Hot Blog

The buzz story of the day is not going to go anywhere pretty... The Festival Director of FIND's LA Film Festival, Rich Raddon, came up on a “Yes On 8” donation list this morning. $1500. Rich is a well-liked guy. He is not secretive about being a Mormon...

What Would Harvey Do? by The Hot Blog

There is a kinda crazy idea out there about boycotting the Sundance Film Festival and even more so, Utah skiing, in response to Mormon funding of Prop 8 here in California. Let me be even more direct. The idea of pressuring Sundance or Redford to abandon...

Sweetbitter by The Hot Blog

A beautiful night for America... but here in California, we showed that bias and fear are still well within our grasp. The "gay marriage ban" passed by about 5 percent. I do think that under Obama we will see legislation to make civil unions...

Obama Wins by The Hot Blog

With 207 electoral votes already projected for closed states... add CA's 55 electorals... and Washington State... and you have passed 270. Game over. And he is going to win VA... and others... Why the networks haven't called it is beyond me. It...

A Change Is Gonna Come by The Hot Blog

I am a bit of a mess today... With due respect to the big, angry cynic who lives in my head and wants to cut everything down to the pieces that make sense... with due respect to the politics of all of it, including Obama's calm veneer as a safe black...
