Tomorrow, there will be the Roskilde nude run.Here are some videos from the previous nude runs:20062007I couldn't make it to Roskilde this year, so I'm afraid I'll just have to be naked on my own in Oslo... :-) ...

I have now installed openSuse 11, it looks nice and all and works nicely. However in the installasion process I did unfortunatly and very unintentionally repartition the wrong drive. My Windows bootpartition is now gone. This in itself is not the end of the world. However this drive also contained my music and pictures.. in the immortal words of Homer Simpson *doh* (The lesson here is, never install or preform radical system changes when overly tired or unfocused) Music can be replaced and I do have some pictures backed up, but somewhat scattered over a few burned DVD’s, flickr and a USB stick. ...

Nope never…. booom de yada! *humming* ...

As noted in the post on Jay Brannan's concert, he surprised his audience by singing "Bæ, bæ, lille lam" - a well-known Norwegian children's song. Here it is!(By the way, Jay Brannan's album is out now...) ...

Spain easily beat Germany in the Euro 2008 final, and became worthy winners. Congratulations!Goal scorer Fernando Torres deserves a holiday at the beach... ...

Like every other gay man on the planet, I first noticed Jay Brannan as an actor in "Shortbus". He was the one playing guitar in the film, as well as (since you asked) having real sex.As he was coming to Oslo to present a new film and to have a concert, I checked out his music on MySpace and his site on facebook. It's simple guitar-and-voice melodic pop, and I liked it. (Moreover, he is the cutest singer-songwriter in living memory.) So obviously, I had to go to his concert. The concert took place in a boat in ...

I'm having trouble deciding what to think of this movie. I believe that is because the movie is a bit uneven. At times I like it a lot - careful portrayals of vulnerable, young souls. At other times, I don't like it at all, where the same young souls do irrational actions that seem out of character.The movie starts with three young guys escaping prison, one of which (Xabi) wants to be an ETA terrorist. He tries to get in touch with his contact in ETA, but also tries to get one of his friends (Driss) to help him do ...

"I read the manuscript, and thought that if I don't make this, noone else will", Alan Cumming said in his Q&A session after the screening of "Ghost Writer" at The 18th Oslo Gay and Lesbian Film Festival tonight. That is, maybe, not surprising. It is an interesting story, but at points weak to the extreme. And the movie doesn't get better by the theatrical style in parts of the movie, in my mind. But there are also parts that are quite good. The movie tells the story of John Vandermark, who has a habit of inviting young, aspiring artists ...

What this movie does quite well, is to portray the insensitivity to other people's feelings that sometimes result from being in a bit of a mess yourself. Trevor has a drug addict as a boyfriend/former boyfriend, has a friend who's the stereotypical gay promiscuous cynic, a female roommate with no life of her own and a no-brain job. Then suddenly everything starts happening at once, and Trevor doesn't even know who Trevor is in everything.Okay, I know this don't seem like a wonderful film, but it did work quite well. And it's not only because Jay Brannan is quite handsome ...

What a terrible time to be hallucinating and paranoid - a time in which there was so much to be paranoid about, and in which medical science was so terrible on that point.This film, based on the life of Nobel prize winning mathematician John Nash, gives a very strong impression of what it is like to have mental illnesses. He is of course also interesting as a major figure in the development of game theory.A solid film, although even with quality all around, it does come across as a tad over-long.A Beautiful Mind (2001)Directed by Ron HowardMain actors:Russell Crowe ...

Here's the "Oslo Gay Pride Official Song 2008". Not really my style of music, but at least it's worth watching... ...

Here's an interview from last year's Storåsfestival, where a whole bunch of people decided to be naked. Notice how some of the nude guys tried to "steal" the interviewer's bad during the interview... ...

This is a very fascinating documentary about "Vanessa", the girlfriend of Norwegian porn celebrity Thomas "Rocco" Hansen. "Rocco" is most famous for making porn movies with Norwegian "russ" girls - 18-year olds celebrating their end of school.The movie shows clearly lots of problematic areas:

The way in which the girls and boys are persuaded to take part while partying, doing things they may regret for years.

"Vanessa"'s position - trying to convince herself and others that it is totally okay to be the girlfriend of a porn producer and actor, but not managing to convince herself in the end.

The dream of

Otto is, apparently, a zombie. Unfortunately, the society has turned against zombies, and are hunting them down. Luckily for Otto, he runs into a director who is making a political gay zombie-porn movie, where he is perfect for the part.The movie is so far out there that it is actually quite amusing at times. It certainly is not everyone's cup of tea - men are killing each other and then fucking, using the wounds as extra erogenous zones, for instance.Personally, I found the film a bit refreshing after seeing too many happy endings lately. However, partly it actually managed to ...

Two very "straight-acting" gays have to take responsibility of a 11-year-old boy - who acts like a flaming queen. Should they try to teach the child to act more "normal" or should they learn from the kid not to be so f**king "normal" themselves?I enjoyed this film a lot - the people are charming and the problems feel real. The reason for the low score is that I absolutely hated the ending - but I won't go into details on that here, of course.Breakfast with Scot (2007)Directed by Laurie LyndMain actors:Cameron Ansell as Finn O'BrienBenz Antoine as Greg GrahamNoah ...
