After the acclaimed trio of “Old Joy,” “Wendy & Lucy” and “Meek’s Cutoff,” Kelly Reichardt was already proving hard to pin down. The three films that made her name (plus her lesser-known earlier works “ Ode” and “River Of Grass”) are immediately recognizable as the work of the director, but very different from each other thematically, if perhaps not formally. Whatever her next move was going to be, it was going to be interesting, but few would have predicted that it would be “Night Moves”—a crackling little suspense thriller/morality play indebted to Dostoyevsky and Hitchcock.

Who are "bad gays"? What's Bradley Cooper's gay appeal? Is there anything to be done to save a dying TV show? Is Nambla a "gay" group? Is Madonna bisexual? Plus, is the Glee Finn/Kurt fan fic "art"?

Q: Who do you consider to be bad examples of gay men? I understand your rational for disliking Perez Hilton, so much so that I agree with your reasoning, but who else do you think has harmed the community, or perhaps does disservice to the community, and why? Are there truly any bad gay men? – Maharajah, West Palm Beach (not yet oil drenched), Florida
A: Well, that's a big fat can-o-worms, 'innit?
