Prints that I really do mean to buy some day. If someone else buys them for me before I get round to it... I owe them. Or they forgot to get me another present and looked here for suggestions.

Excuse for a journal - prospective Doctor Who

Journal Entry: Tue Sep 16, 2008, 2:34 PM
Yay!


"[on being Karen's personal masseuse] Every day I come in here and I touch your naked body. We don't talk, there's no emotion - I'm acting like a straight guy and it's making me sick. I took an oath in front of God and my mother - I'm here, I'm queer: get used to it." - Jack McFarland


Apparently, Russell T Davies, the man once judged 'the wrong sort of gay for scifi' and reviver of the Doctor Who TV series, has suggested who he would like to play the Eleventh Doctor after David Tennant leaves. RTD, who has just passed the exec producer baton onto Steven Moffat (an incredible writer, responsible for delights such as "The Empty Child" and "Blink") has suggested this man:




Russell Tovey.

You may never have heard of or seen him. For me, I could never forget his brilliant performance as Rudge in the innumerable incarnations of Alan Bennett's The History Boys (the immortal line to Frances Delatour, "History, miss? It's just one fuckin' thing after another."), producer Ben in Rob Brydon's Annually Retentive, Tintin on the West End (give the guy some credit) and the smaller part of valiant Midshipman Frame in the Christmas special of Doctor Who, "Voyage of the Damned" (yes, the one with Kylie in it... *sigh*).

I'd love him to play the part - great actor, young, regional accent and so forth ("Lots of planets have a North..."), but I highly doubt he'll get cast. Why?

The great British public won't like a gay Doctor.

We'll all sit down for a couple of weeks and enjoy his adventures, and after a few episodes, lots of little kids will say, "I want to be like the Doctor!". Then they'll see a photo of Russell Tovey and his boyfriend together and start asking questions. In will flood the letters of complaint.

"Dear BBC, we are concerned middle-class parents who can't handle the reality of homosexuality in our society, and are unwilling to explain real life to our kids. Therefore we protest at the casting of the new Doctor, a straight man should have got the job. Yours sincerely, Some Twit."


Sigh.

Please, read this: "What the Science Says – and Doesn’t Say – About Homosexuality". ESPECIALLY point 9. The paragraph about Paul Cameron on page 26, the founder of the "Family Research Institute".

Now judge who should be rounded up and kept an eye on to stop them spreading.


Stuff that makes me glad dA exists.

Wow... =Alizee103's work is thrilling to behold. Introduced to me through *DBIPhotography's journal feature, this is some truly wonderful human photography. Instant :+devwatch:. Her gallery is a true journey in photographic style too, showing her evolving motives in pictures.

Some people are so dense they create their own gravity well.
Wow... that is belated. :D You won't know me since I wasn't using this name, but I was a member of HG forums for a while. Haven't been there for several years. I went by the name ebdong there, and senior acolyte Jayhawk watched over some of the areas I regularly visited :).
