I know I've been a little out of the loop these past few days, with the internet issues and the site upgrades, but has anyone else seen the trailer for 2012? There is a whole subculture surrounding the year 2012, the last recorded day of the Mayan calendar. The year 2012 is supposed to be the year the world ends.
(I tried to find a movie poster, but apparently there was another movie by the same name, and I'm not sure which poster goes with which movie, so in the spirit of accuracy, I'll just leave it off the post.)
Watch the trailer after the jump.

Kathy Griffin, in what may be a first strike, interviews David Archuleta for myspaceTV. Archuleta turns eighteen next month. Maybe I should put up one of those countdown clocks . . . .
Jump to it.
I might be a little late to this party, but did you guys see Emma Thompson on David Letterman the other night? She followed that woman who was bitten by a fox while out for a jog and, when the fox wouldn't let go, she wrapped it up with her hoodie. While it was still attached to her arm. Yeah.
So, Emma recreates the scene during her entrance. Spontaneously. I haven't been that freaked out by Emma Thompson since her performance in Dead Again.
Watch the seizure after the jump.
Pork really outdid himself with this one. Yes, it's Roxette's "It Must Have Been Love." It was a number one hit for two weeks at the end of april 1990, which, honestly, doesn't sound right to me. I feel like it was a number one hit for six years straight.
Watch, listen, and love after the jump.
Race to Witch Mountain. Yes. A remake based on the most amazing movie ever made, Escape from Witch Mountain. I watched the trailer from the original, and in my memories it was a lot less Disney and a lot more terrifying. I'm not all that into The Rock, but push come to shove . . . .
The plot summary:
Race to Witch Mountain is a thrilling action-adventure about a hard luck Las Vegas cab driver Jack Bruno (Dwayne Johnson), whose life is thrown into chaos when apparent 'runaway' teenagers Sara (AnnaSophia Robb) and Seth (Alexander Ludwig) jump into his taxi. He soon realizes his two fares are children with exceptional paranormal powers whom he must protect as they elude a collection of ruthless enemies.

I thought I'd take just a little break from politics in The Media Bar (don't worry, I'm gonna be catching up today on the politics I missed out on yesterday with my fucked up internet, so don't you worry about any politics shortage here).
Today, we are having some dinosaurs! How cool is this? The National Geographic Channel featured a dinosaur mummy encased in stone! The mummy might contain fossilized bones and skin tissue, and possibly muscle and organs. It's like when that researcher discovered soft tissue in a dinosaur fossil. Only bigger. And better.
Watch it after the jump!
The ladies of The View have had a lot of important things to say about Prop 8, and the issues surrounding this have been complicated, but Elisabeth is beginning to be purposely spread lies. This is the last shred of bigotry that the right can use to focus what remains of their ragtag party. What a disgusting thing to use hatred as a rallying point.
The View needs to get a smart gay person on the panel to discuss this. I'm thinking Wayne Besen.
The video after the jump.
Wake Up With These!
The Rachel Maddow Show:
Okay, Arianna Huffington guest-hosted for Rachel Maddow last night. I think we can all agree that Arianna's performance is another reason to love Huck Maddow.

Beyonce and Beyonce and Justin Timberlake
"Single Ladies" (1:56)
This is the real video mixed with the SNL parody.
Watch them all after (you guessed it) the jump.
Movies:
First trailer for the new Star Trek. I was never really a Trekkie (except maybe Voyager), and yeah, it's kind of geeky of me, but it's JJ Abrams. Remember Lost? And how gay is that EW cover.
Get gay and geeky with me after the jump.
Politics:
Obama's First YouTube Fireside Chat. With all the Prop 8 information coming in, I didn't get a chance to watch this until last night! I thought maybe some of you missed it, too.
I feel like we're going to be referring to our President-elect as "Papa Obama" by the end of the year. "Papa," we'll ask, "what do you think should be done about GM?" Feels kind of natural.
Watch after the jump!
Television:
Now, I am one of nine people in the United States who know that Bonnie Hunt has a daytime TV talk show. So imagine how surprised I was when I saw that not only was Madame Secretary Hillary Clinton on the Bonnie Hunt Show, she was on the Bonnie Hunt Show doing a "Gypsy" tribute. (Honest to God, for the first 6 seconds I was convinced it was her!)(00:24)

Politics:
4 Prop 8 videos
Melissa Etheridge's wife Tammy Lynn appears on Oprah and attempts to singlehandedly destroy the right for gays to marry. Best line from Lady's Brunch Burger Award-winner Tammy Lynn: "I don't care about the word 'marriage.'"(9:45)
Wanda Sykes comes out! Yup, the woman who convincingly argued that everyone getting fucked in the ass might just save all marriages has come out! Best line in her coming out speech? "I'm proud to be a woman. I'm proud to be black. And I'm proud to be gay." (4:24)
Ashton Kutcher on Bill Maher. Best line from Kutcher: "It's unconstitutional!"
A Mattachine Society-era Michelangelo Signorile puts on the best display of rational thinking so far by any of our gay spokespeople. Best line from Signorile: "Are you going to let me talk, Maggie?"
And then there's medavog, the youtube user who uploaded what could possibly be not just the best Prop 8 video out there, but very possibly the best video of any kind in the past six months.

And then there's medavog, the youtube user from my hometown of San Diego who uploaded what could possibly be not just the best Prop 8 video out there, but very possibly the best video of any kind in the past six months. Favorite line: "The Berlin wall, to name a few."

Politics:
It's been a Kotecki kind of week. Whenever I get down or feel bad or wonder if I've made the right career choice, I can count on Politico's James Kotecki to inspire me to put aside my own troubles and focus on the the less fortunate, like James Kotecki.
Music Video:
Tracy Chapman
"Fast Car"
"Talkin' 'bout a Revolution"
We're gonna have two music videos today because when I was doing dishes last night, I got to thinking about Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car." Probably because of its mix of hope and sadness, knowing that you deserve better. And then I got a little pissed and started thinking another Tracy Chapman song, "Talkin' 'bout a Revolution." So I'm serving up both.
