8: The Mormon Proposition is almost certainly a film that will make you angry. That’s the point — it’s a documentary that unapologetically outlines the Mormon Church’s role in (as the film contends, orchestrating) the Proposition 8 campaign in California in 2008 — the infamous piece of legislation that banned gay marriage in the state.
Milk screenwriter (and former Mormon) Dustin Lance Black narrates the story, which mixes the usual “talking heads” interviews with on-the-scene footage from the events at hand, making for an engaging, positively infuriating documentary experience.
The film begins with a decidedly creepy shot of a Mormon church leader, addressing his congregation during a televised religious conference broadcast about supporting California’s Proposition 8. He calls them “a mighty army” and dictates: “Let us be strong in defending our position.” We soon find out that this particular broadcast was akin to a call to arms to the entire Mormon...

As part of the Lost production crew, aside from writing the occasional episode, Gregg Nations is the script coordinator in charge of continuity. That's right, I said continuity when talking about a show that takes place in the past, present, and future – all at once.
Amongst other things, it is Nations that catalogs the minutiae that fans sift through religiously looking for clues to the shows meaning (check out LOSTpedia, the temple constructed to reflect those efforts), along with the various bits of background information on each of the many characters on the canvas, historical figure name dropping, and – as fractured as it may be – the overarching time-line (and for all we know, parallel timeline to boot).
When Disney came to the Lost crew and offered them the opportunity to create a Bd Live feature for the Blu Ray release of Lost season 5, Nations seized the opportunity to suggest an...

Have a question about gay male entertainment? Ask the Monkey! (Please include your city and state and/or country.)
Q: Groeten (i.e. “Greetings!”): Ever since I started to watch The Oc, I was instantly smitten by the hotness that is Benjamin McKenzie. What I was wondering is: what is his stance towards the Glbt community and gay people/fans in general? -- Kevin, Belgium P.S: If you happen to have a super-special Flying Monkey magic spell to have him turn gay and fall madly in love with me, I wouldn't mind!

A: In fact, Benjamin McKenzie already has a gay partner … in his role as a cop on the new NBC show Southland where his cop-partner is a very un-stereotypical gay man.
What does he think of gay folks in real life? Well, the Flying Monkey was a little reluctant to contact Benjamin and ask,...
