Reel Asian Film Festival
Nov 24th - Nov 28th
Toronto's Asian film fest is on again! A quick look at the schedule includes titles such as...
Not to mention the very excellent docu series, Chinese Restaurant. Can YOU resist? Someone want to fly me to Toronto?
Toronto’s Reel Asian Film Festival (Nov. 24-28) has a tendency to be ahead of the curve. Take last year’s festival, which closed with Ann Marie Fleming’s charming and moving documentary the Magical Life of Long Tack Sam and also featured films from such filmmakers as Greg Pak and Jane Wong. This year’s festival will, once again, try to cram as much Asian film (11 features and 43 shorts, but who’s counting) into five days as humanly possible.

Homosexuality is not 'normal.' On the contrary, it is a challenge to the norm; therein rests its eternally revolutionary character. Note I do not call it a challenge to the idea of the norm. Queer theorists - that wizened crew of flimflamming free-loaders - have tried to take the poststructuralist tack of claiming that there is no norm, since everything is relative and contingent. This is the kind of silly bind that word-obsessed people get into when they are deaf, dumb, and blind to the outside world. Nature exists, whether academics like it or not. And in nature, procreation is the single, relentless rule. That is the norm. Our sexual bodies were designed for reproduction. Penis fits vagina: no fancy linguistic game - playing can change that basic fact. However, my libertarian view, here as in regard to abortion, is that we have not only the right, but the obligation to defy nature's tyranny. The highest human identity consists precisely in such assertions of freedom against material limitation. by free online poker
