It's SIFF's last bleary-eyed, numb-assed, popcorn-butter-fingered weekend, so if you haven't stopped in for some film-festy fun, you gotta act fast.

Seattlest has a vision of our coming fall. We need to get away. We need some sun, some beaches and some babes. We need a cruise with our affably fat buddy. Man, everyone's so friendly on this cruise. Seems like every guy wants to get close to us - And we were worried about how we'd fit in with the cruising set. Pshaw! Wait, where are all the babes. We saw that bikini team out by the pool, but there seems to be an awful lot of man on this boat. Is this a gay cruise? Were we seriously duped into going on a gay cruise because we were rude to a travel agent? Yep. Gay cruise. Whoa is us. Oh, well, we'll just have to expand our social consciousness, embrace a little inner gay and eventually hook up with the hot (female) social director. Can't hold us down. Not in this terrible Cuba Gooding Jr. vehicle of life, anyway. more ›
