Purple Gene Reviews

'A Day Without a Mexican'

Purple Gene's review of the movie "A Day Without a Mexican" (2004).   [view trailer]
Directed by Sergio Arau….and the nationwide boycott and protest marches called "A Day without an Immigrant":



I woke up this morning at my live/work artist's space in Oakland and went out to get the paper and I looked up 48th avenue to International Blvd…..everything was closed and the streets were filled with thousand and thousands of people carrying American flags and marching down to City Hall to protest the new assault by the wedge issue assholes running our country to criminalize the people who come here for a better life and the people who hire them…..today I woke up to the REAL Movie "A Day Without a Mexican" !!!!!



Sergio Arau made a mockumentary in 2004 called "A Day Without a Mexican"….a rather ribald and over the top attempt to answer the question…"What if one day in California, people woke up and found that all the Mexicans had disappeared!!!!! Nobody to pick the crop in the fields….nobody to do construction labor…..no nannies for all the white kids….nobody working in the body shops and restaurants and road crews and super markets….on and on and on……The result would be utter chaos and the movie shows the economy of California shutting down…paralyzed…



Today, hundreds of thousands of people all over this Country are doing exactly what the movie did…except they're not disappearing…. they are all out on your streets in a show of force to let the world know they are not going to disappear!

I was truly moved when I went up into the crowd today on International Blvd in Oakland…..people pushing baby carriages….cars honking….kids and old folks and young cuties in a spirit of solidarity and patriotism…..I haven't seen so many American Flags since the Vietnam war protests…….



This is the first time in quite a while where I felt really proud to live in Oakland, California, USA !!!!!!!

"Viva la Raza"!!!

Purple Gene gives "A Day Without an Immigrant" ten red white and blue flags out of 10 for being colorful and happy and hopeful ! (The movie "A Day Without a Mexican" gets 5 flags out of 10 !)

No Lawsuits, No Digital Locks On Music

Canadian Musicians

Don't even think about suing music fans.

That's the message a group of musicians - from veterans Blue Rodeo to international superstars Barenaked Ladies and newcomers Broken Social Scene - sent Monday to federal politicians who wield the power to toughen copyright legislation. Some of the proposals being floated could make it illegal to share music online, leading to lawsuits which the musicians called "destructive and hypocritical."

"For a very long time we, as artists, have allowed industry groups to speak on our behalf. We want that time to stop," Steven Page of the Barenaked Ladies said at a news conference Monday, flanked by members of the Canadian Music Creators Coalition.

"We need a seat at the table. We need to be part of this copyright legislation when it is drafted."

Spits Mouthful At Coachella

Madonna

Madonna radically altered her music to attack US resident George W Bush during her appearance at California music festival Coachella, yesterday.

The Hung Up singer thrilled fans with a six-song set in the Sahara Dance Tent, and took a cheeky swipe at the US leader by changing her song lyrics.

During an energetic rendition of her song I Love New York, Madonna roared, "Just go to Texas and suck George Bush's dick."

Set to Help Young Musicians

Fats Domino

Poor health led Fats Domino to cancel an autograph session Monday to raise money for a music charity, but he is still scheduled to perform Sunday at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

The 78-year-old musician had been scheduled to sign autographs for his new album, "Alive and Kickin," just before the Tipitina's Foundation benefit concert.

The album was released as a benefit for the foundation. Tipitina's Foundation helped local musicians find housing and new instruments after the storm.

Sample Service For Free

Napster

Digital music service Napster said Monday it would allow nonsubscribers to access complete songs and then play them, e-mail them to friends or add them to their blogs for free.

Users can listen to every song in the Napster catalog five times each, after which they must either buy it or become a subscriber. Registration is required but asks only for user name, password and e-mail address -- no credit card is needed and no demographic information is requested.

The free Napster does not require any download and works on PCs, Mac and Linux computers via Firefox, Internet Explorer, Netscape and Safari browsers.

Celebrates 90th Birthday

Glenn Ford

Legendary actor Glenn Ford, who turned 90 on Monday, had to cut short a birthday celebration with family and friends when failing health forced him to retire to his bedroom.

The stalwart hero of Westerns, comedies and dramas from Hollywood's golden age of the 1940s and '50s was lucid and communicative Sunday morning, family members said, but his condition worsened in the afternoon.

He has "good days and bad days," said his son Peter Ford, whose mother was tap dancer Eleanor Powell, the first of his father's three wives.

The actor, who moved to California at age 8, was born Gwyllyn Ford in Quebec on May 1, 1906.

Says Farewell to Las Vegas

Harvey Fierstein

Harvey Fierstein's stay in Las Vegas came to a close this weekend with his final performance in "Hairspray," the latest Broadway import to hit the Strip.

The 51-year-old actor-playwright gave his final performance at the Luxor hotel-casino as hefty housewife Edna Turnblad on Sunday.

Taking Fierstein's place as Edna is Paul Vogt, a "Mad TV" sketch comedian. He teams up with Eddie Mekka, who played Carmine "The Big Ragoo" Ragusa in the TV series "Laverne & Shirley," in the role of Edna's husband, Wilbur.

Addict/Hypocrite Facing Drug Tests

Pigboy

Rush Limbaugh must submit to random drug tests under an agreement filed Monday that will dismiss a prescription fraud charge against the conservative commentator after 18 months if he complies with the terms.

He also must continue treatment for his acknowledged addiction to painkillers and he cannot own a gun.

The agreement did not call for Limbaugh to admit guilt to the charge that he sought a prescription from a physician in 2003 without revealing that he had received medications from another practitioner within 30 days. He pleaded not guilty Friday.

"Do you think if there was any real evidence, we would have reached a settlement?" Limbaugh lied Monday on his radio show.

VH1 Schedule For Fall

'Breaking Bonaduce'

VH1 is bringing back "Breaking Bonaduce" and a fleet of other returning series to its bustling "Celebreality" Sunday block, the network said.

"Bonaduce," a chronicle of the turbulent times of radio DJ and former "Partridge Family" child star Danny Bonaduce, will return in October for a second season with eight episodes.

VH1 will stock "Celebreality" in August with new seasons of "Flavor of Love," which will go into its second season with 10 episodes, and "Celebrity Fit Club," which is going into its fourth season with such dieting celebrities as Carnie Wilson, Nick Turturro and Erika Eleniak (eight episodes).

Also returning this spring for a second season is "My Fair Brady" and "VH1 & IFilm's Web Junk 2.0."

Dean of Hollywood Lawyers

Bert Fields

When A-list stars have legal troubles or need to negotiate seven-figure movie deals, they often turn to powerhouse attorney Bert Fields.

The 77-year-old legal legend has built a reputation as one of the most feared litigators in Hollywood while working for Michael Jackson, Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg and other celebrities.

In recent months, prosecutors have been investigating his involvement with private investigator Anthony Pellicano, the suspected kingpin of a wiretapping ring accused in a federal indictment of threats and blackmail while digging up dirt to help clients in legal disputes.

Fields began working with Pellicano in the early 1990s and has acknowledged being a subject of the ongoing investigation. He denies knowing about any questionable tactics by the private detective and is now waiting for prosecutors to decide whether to charge him.

The World War II Medal of Honor, right, received by Charles Coolidge is shown in its case April 12, 2006, in Signal Mountain, Tenn. Coolidge received a fake version of the five-pointed bronze star, left, when he sent it off to be reconditioned. Coolidge got flimflammed out of his medal _ at a military reunion of all places _ when someone offered to help recondition it and gave him back a fake version of the award. The FBI tracked down Coolidge's real Medal of Honor from a man who was selling and trading medals in Ohio.

Behind-The-Scenes Drama

'Desperate Housewives'

The top producer on ABC's hit comedy-drama "Desperate Housewives" walked off the job late last week and may be replaced next season.

Tom Spezialy, the show's executive producer/showrunner, exited Friday after an unspecified falling out. According to sources, things calmed down over the weekend. With only a few days of production left on the series' second season, Spezialy will return to work on Monday, said a spokeswoman for Touchstone TV, which produces the series.

In Memory

Harvey Bullock

Harvey Bullock, a writer for "The Andy Griffith Show" and other TV comedies, died April 23. He was 84.

He served in the Navy during World War II, writing and transmitting fake radio messages designed to mislead the Nazis.

Bullock spent five years writing for "Andy Griffith." In the late '60s, he and writing partner Ray Allen also collaborated on the screenplays for the comic films "Who's Minding the Mint?", "With Six You Get Eggroll" and "Don't Drink the Water," which was adapted from a Woody Allen play.

Bullock and Allen also worked together on scripts for such TV series as "The Flintstones," "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and "Hogan's Heroes." They were executive producers of "Love, American Style" and creators and executive producers of the animated early 1970s series "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home."

In a photo provided by the San Diego Zoo, two male red river hogs make their debut Monday, May 1, 2006, at the San Diego Zoos Wild Animal Park. The piglets and their parents can be seen in the Nairobi Village. The red river hog is found in Africa. It is named for its reddish brown fur, and the fact that it often wades through water. These pigs are active both day and night and are good swimmers, holding their tails above the water. They can also swim underwater, catching a breath every 15 seconds or so.
