Another Queer Jewish Buddhist

Sunday Morning Music Vid: I've Got You

First time I saw this short film in an audience I was caught up in the emotion of the experience, and clearly the whole audience felt the same way cause when it was over the applause was wild and long. It's the message we all wanted to hear from our parents, and it's the message we want to give all our children, biological or otherwise. Rafi — this is for you:

Sunday Morning Music Video: Fagette

Saw this delightful pansexual romp as part of the short musical films at NewFest this last June. The singer has a boyish charm that reminds me of Ty Greenstein from Girlyman (my boygirl crush, go figure). Enjoy:

Sunday Morning Cartoon: Tribute to Queer Cartoon Characters...

I may quibble with some of the choices, but this video montage in tribute to the queer characters in kid's TV shows and movies (and I would argue that some are not even for kids, really, but it's too much fun to argue) is just hilarious.

Sunday Morning Cartoon: Is It A Choice?

Sunday Morning Cartoon: הזדמנויות

Queer Jewish Animation! From Israel. With a dismemberment that is re-membered by birds, this little stop action cartoon has an almost mythic feeling to it. If anyone can tell me what the song in Hebrew means, I'd be grateful, since all my Hebrew is ancient and liturgical.

I remember back in the 90s when a soil sample suggested there was microbial life on Mars and there was a headline on the Daily News that simply read: Life Found On Mars. I don't think it was anything like this:

Sunday Morning Cartoon: Easter is Gay

And while this queer Jewish Buddhist has been working on the annual Haggadah update, clearly some other folks have the other theological narrative in mind. And they're having fun playing with it. Personally, I feel that if you're going to play with the central story in Christianity, there should be some deeper meaning in it. And this cartoon is lacking in either deeper meaning or even truly deep humor. Nevertheless, here for your consideration is...

Sunday Morning Cartoon: Cucumber Chronicles

I remember seeing this a few years back in the shorts program at the New Festival. It made me laugh then, and it makes me laugh now, though perhaps with more rueful awareness and compassion for all the ways we try to connect...

Sunday Morning Cartoon: How Calvin Klein Ruined My Life

A quick, humorous meditation on advertising, the history of body image and undergarments for gay men. Or straight men for that matter.
