Not exactly what we were looking for.......2007-08-16
Bought this book for my wife. She said there was more info in it about the actresses themselves than the characters or the show. Depends on what you are looking for I guess, my wife is more into the show than the real lives of the actors.
I really didnt like the book.......2007-08-15
It wasnt what I expected and it was really boring me and I am a BIG Golden girls fan!!
Girls are back (they have never went away)!.......2007-01-16
Nice book for all true fans of the Golden Girls. Concentrates though too much on the "Girls" meaning in gay culture etc. trivial information. But even I as a devoted fan got a lot new information about the history and especially the creation of the show.
GREAT BOOK FOR ALL FANS!.......2007-01-06
I love the Golden Girls so when I heard about this book, I knew I had to have it! It's informative,fun, and a lot of laughs! I love this book!
Re-tread fan.......2006-11-28
I used to watch "The Golden Girls" along with several other sitcoms. I really hadn't watched it in a while, but after reading this book, I am an energized fan! I loved all the trivia, backgrounds and insights on the characters, writing and the development of the show itself. This is a fun book to pick up and re-read. It is extremely well-written and layed out with lots of interesting sections and surprises. I highly recommend this one!

Great Guide to Independent Gay and Lesbian/Queer Cinema.......2004-09-14
Although now a little out of date, this gem by "The Queer Movie Poster Book" (2004) and "Homo Promo" (DVD, 2004) documents the explosion of gay and lesbian films large and small since Stonewall. Particular notice has been afforded small films and shorts which before the Internet and DVD were nearly impossible to find outside Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Film Festivals. This book served as the foundation for PopcornQ, now part of PlanetOut.com, the indispensable online resource for those who love Queer movies. Belongs on the shelf of both serious students of Queer filmmaking, and the interested filmgoer alike. The only downside, I suspect due to an academic publisher: no photogaphs from the films. Recommended.
Book Description
If there was a moment during the sixties, seventies, or eighties that changed the history of the women’s film movement, B. Ruby Rich was there. Part journalistic chronicle, part memoir, and 100% pure cultural historical odyssey, Chick Flicks—with its definitive, the-way-it-was collection of essays—captures the birth and growth of feminist film as no other book has done.
For over three decades Rich has been one of the most important voices in feminist film criticism. Her presence at film festivals (such as Sundance, where she is a member of the selection committee), her film reviews in the Village Voice, Elle, Out, and the Advocate, and her commentaries on the public radio program “The World” have secured her a place as a central figure in the remarkable history of what she deems “cinefeminism.” In the hope that a new generation of feminist film culture might be revitalized by reclaiming its own history, Rich introduces each essay with an autobiographical prologue that describes the intellectual, political, and personal moments from which the work arose. Travel, softball, sex, and voodoo all somehow fit into a book that includes classic Rich articles covering such topics as the antiporn movement, the films of Yvonne Rainer, a Julie Christie visit to Washington, and the historically evocative film Maedchen in Uniform. The result is a volume that traces the development not only of women’s involvement in cinema but of one of its key players as well.
The first book-length work from Rich—whose stature and influence in the world of film criticism and theory continue to grow—Chick Flicks exposes unexplored routes and forgotten byways of a past that’s recent enough to be remembered and far away enough to be memorable.
Customer Reviews:
History lesson.......1999-09-26
Rich is a major figure in recent feminist film history, so it's great to see her book out. Still, I'm not sure that the combo (old essays + autobio narrative) works. Like a lot of people, I just read the personal/dishy stuff. The essays on their own didn't seem to hold up, or maybe they get lost in the flow.
Of course, I appreciated learning the context for the texts, but I felt they could have been better as two separate books (since Rich clearly has a lot to say about her past).
The only flaw was that the author sometimes seemed to have so many axes to grind, even 20+ years later. She's so committed to her view of herself as an outsider/underdog that, when you realize she's been the head of a major funding agency, you get a little suspicious. She's so aware (often justly) of the flaws of other people's positions, but you wonder what she leaves out.
Review from WOMENS REVIEW OF BOOKS.......1998-12-20
Writing about women as spectators of Hollywood cinema, B. Ruby Rich once protested that the choices have been "to identify either with Marilyn Monroe or with the man behind me hitting the back of my seat with his knees." I love that description not just for its immediacy and visceral thump, but because it originally appeared in the New German Critique, a formidable academic journal. Since B. Ruby Rich is neither a Ph.D. nor a full-time academic, her appearance in this journal and her respectability in film scholarship are reasons for optimism about the inclusion of multiple voices in and about feminist film criticism. Rich introduces her book Chick Flicks: Theories and Memories of the Feminist Film Movement with a heartening invitation for such inclusion. "I sincerely believe," she says, "that the people who read GLO: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies (the academic journal where I have edited film and video reviews) and the people who mob the Sundance Film Festival (where I serve on the selection committee) have something to say to each other." This statement reveals Rich's facilitating voice and her remarkable comfort in very different cultural locations. Rich has earned the right to reminisce about the feminist film movement because she has "been there," from Sundance to academic editorial boards, but has not camped permanently in any chic or safe spot. Rich's reviews and essays have appeared in widely-used film theory anthologies and in popular media, including public radio, the Village Voice, Sight and Sound, the Advocate, and Elle. For nearly three decades, she has worked with both filmmakers and theorists, with arts-council bureaucrats and radical culture workers, at consciousness-raising women's film "happenings" and at prestigious academic conferences--that is, not solely with film or film theory, but with the larger feminist movement she names in her title. Chick Flicks is a selection of her essays from 1974 to 1991, each introduced with a prologue situating it in several histories: the independent women's film movement, feminist film criticism, American politics, and the author's own personal history of changes in scenes, careers, lovers, and friends. The latter strategy affiliates this book with recent autobiographical feminist criticism which, at its best, illuminates the continuum of life and scholarship, intellectual and emotional passion; Patricia J. Williams' The Alchemy of Race and Rights (1991) comes to mind, as well as Patricia Mellencamp's A Fine Romance: Five Ages of Film Feminism (1995) and Jane Tompkins' A Life in School: What the Teacher Learned (1996).
Review in The San Francisco Bay Guardian by Josh Kun.......1998-12-17
Perhaps Chick Flicks' greatest strength is the number of ways in which it can be read: as a professional retrospective strewn with delicious gossip, a personal diary of hindsight recollection and revision, a copious document of 70s and 80s feminist film culture, a historical memoir and a memoir of history. But more than anything, it is a textbook for the very reeducation Rich has so enthusiastically championed. ... Chick Flicks is a model of polically rooted, socially coonscious, intellectually challenging--but not intellectually alienting -- cultural criticism. ... The interplay of Rich's personal reconstructions and past and present criticism turns Chick Flicks into Rich's own proactive feminarrative, her own contribution to feminist history that propels itself forward by remembering the past in empowering detail, naming names, giving voice, claiming experiences.
A compelling read bringing together many aspects of feminism.......1998-12-11
Rich's book is a riveting collection of her essays about film and feminism, but it is much more than that too. Introducing each essay is a memoir that tells us what was happening in her life at critical moments as feminism and women's film were developing in the sixties and seventies. This mix makes the history personal and compelling and adds life and context to her classic essays. B. Ruby Rich is a journalist, cultural critic and professor of film whose articles have appeared in the Village Voice, Elle, Mirabella, The Advocate, Out, Time Out New York and many other places. She is funny, engaging, and wonderfully brings the history of feminism and film up to the present moment.

A Passion for Soap Operas.......2006-09-27
The Q Guide to Soap Operas is an enjoyable ride through the world of soap operas. Author, Daniel R. Coleridge, has a lifelong passion for television, particularly daytime dramas, and he enthusiastically shares it with the book's readers. Filled with facts and fun quizzes to test one's knowledge, I found this book to be an informative, seductive look at the soaps.
Soaps with a raised eyebrow..........2006-09-20
Just finished Daniel Coleridge's book, The Q Guide to Soap Operas, and found it lots of fun. I'd always thought I wasn't much of a soap fan, but I got a kick out of the cover and decided to indulge. Mr. Coleridge's style is funny, sassy and very well informed. He made unfamiliar subjects come to life, pointed me in the direction of some hunks and divas worth getting to know, and made me realize that in spite of my doubts, I AM a soap fan... Now how do I tell my friends and family?
It is great you should all buy a copy.......2006-09-20
I thought it was a great book. Very funny and informative.
A Cut Above The Trivial Masses.......2006-09-20
I'm excited about Daniel R. Coleridge's debut book, because it seeks to raise the subject of soap operas to an entirely different, well-deserved level. Instead of being stuck in the typical rut of sugary, mindless, trivial confection -- ala, hairstyles and spoilers -- "The Q Guide to Soap Operas" dares to go in-depth on topics normally never discussed by TPTB [The Powers That Be] or the soap fandom, either on-screen or at the proverbial watercooler.
Such as homosexuality, how it's been treated in soaps from the past to the present, how it's viewed by those in-the-know from the soap media and soap community overall. This taboo topic is handled in a sensitive, intelligent and in-depth manner, worthy of any journalistic endeavor.
And yet, there is fun, trivia and camp overflowing in this book.
Most admirable is the writer's ability to tie in past achievements in the entertainment industry with present practices, daytime, nighttime and mainstream, to continue to make soap operas relevant. Coleridge is a proven journalist able to bring out the most interesting information out of his often famous celeb sources, and do so in a way that is never boring, always insightful, truthful and daring.
He's one of the only journalists around today who isn't afraid to ask those tough questions, yet do so in a way that is least offensive, in-your-face and liable to elicit the most sexy quotes imaginable.
All around, an excellent book debut. I hope to read more from this talent.
DANIEL R. COLERIDGE'S 1ST NOVEL IS AWESOME!!!.......2006-09-20
As a long-time soap fan, I was really excited to hear about Daniel R. Coleridge's book - and I awaited its release with baited breath. I'm happy to say that I was NOT disappointed. This is a complete guide, from a gay guy's perspective, of the soap opera genre. As a queer guy myself, I feel that Coleridge successfully and humorously covered all areas of interest in the soap opera medium for the gay community. I applaud Mr. Coleridge's first book. It's fun, informative, entertaining, and - dare I say - a little bit naughty. (Be sure to check out Chapter 4, "Top 10 Soap Hunks" - - - but be ready to take a cold shower afterwards...especially after reading about Austin Peck's "perky[...]). For all those soap fans - especially the gay ones - who have not read this book, I highly recommend it. It is just a well-written and fun book about soaps, written by someone who loves soap operas passionately and - like me - is not ashamed to shout it from the rooftops!

A fascinating collection of Gay and Lesbian film lore.......2002-11-22
I believe this is Boze Hadleigh's best book on Gay and Lesbian Hollywood. It covers films with homoerotic themes, as well as more openly gay films, throughout the history of film. Although the book was published long before some of today's more explicit gay and lesbian films, it is an interesting historical perspective of how gay themes were gradually introduced into mainstream Hollywood film.
All the films covered are put in the perspective of when they were made, and critiqued based on the extent of the portrayal of the gay characters. Films with both positive and negative images are reviewed, as well as stories that may have only gay imagery.
Boze Hadleigh is a great historian of gay cinema, but he does take a lot of liberty with his interpretations. Still, this book is lavishly illustrated and well documented, and a fascinating addition to any film book library.
Product Description

IT'S ABOUT TIME!.......2007-10-04
At long last there is a guide to current gay and lesbian films. We've come a long way, baby, from the days when homosexuality couldn't even be mentioned, much less depicted, on the screen. Here in one well illustrated and written book, is a guide that will occupy a permanent place in my library. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next edition. The book has strong points of views, humor and includes controversial opinions from the mainstream press that often differs from the gay perspective. It is comprehensive, and authoritative, but also fun--never academic. What I especially liked about it is that it provides a showcase for new gay filmmakers, even (perhaps), the Andy Warhol of tomorrow. Many of these films were either dismissed or ignored by movie houses, even in such big cities as New York or Los Angeles. Blood Moon's guide fill in the void. Already I am watching wonderful films made by gays and lesbians that I would never have heard about otherwise.
This is a groundbreaking book with tantalizing insights.
Comprehensive and Little Else.......2006-06-27
About the only positive thing one can say about this book is that it does provide a comprehensive list of gay and lesbian-related feature and short films of 2005. Each of these is generally given a page or two (many more in the case of "major" films like Kinsey, Alexander, The Aviator, etc.), comprised of a very badly written plot summary, a haphazard arrangement of publicity photos, and selected excerpts from media reviews. There are a few "special features", such as the editor's best of the year awards, a Brokeback Mountain section, and a Tigerbeatish series of photo montages of "Hollywood Hunks" Colin Farrell, Heath Ledger, and Jake Gyllenhaal. Aside from the cover, the entire enterprise is amateurish, especially the layout, which was done without any regard to the most basic principles of design, typography, or production. It's almost bizarre how poorly put together the book is, especially as even a modicum of design sense could have made it look at least somewhat presentable. So, use the table of contents as a checklist if you must, but if you're looking for a real guide to the gay and lesbian cinema of 2005, you need to look elsewhere.

Very Excellent reference.......2000-01-29
This is a great guide to all those stars. Find out excatly who they are so that you can buy all their movies.
Book Description.......1999-12-21
Superstars does not attempt to be comprehensive in scope. The porno stars profiled are, by the author's own admission, his favorites--"the prettiest, the nicest, the newest and the ones who have treated me with respect." The author, incidentally, is also a gay porn actor in addition to being a writer about the industry. Most of the pretty faces are from videos of the mid-90's, and there isn't any coverage of stars that have retired or passed on. The profiles are interesting but brief. About 100 of the newest and most popular porno stars are included in the book, including Lucas Ridgeston, Kevin Dean, and Ken Ryker. The book includes profiles of porn stars, videographies, a video buyer's guide, and dozens of nude photos.
This book is a waste of time........1998-10-22
This book only reviews people "who have been nice" to Jamoo...poor boy, he couldn't have the balls to write about anyone else in the business. Most of the stuff in here is totally inaccurate, and the photos have been around and around and around and around.
This book is a waste of time........1998-10-22
Talk about embarrassingly simple, this is simply an interview book of one of the greatest greatest directorsin porn and the lame questions given by jamoo, who thinks he used to be a pornstar, are insulting and ridiculous.

Very good reference book.......2006-01-30
For those who are interested in ggay movies, this is a must have book. It is very well written, and researched. One good thing, is that you can locate a movie via a number of way, by title, director, subject, etc.
An invaluable addition to your film library.......2003-04-08
Okay, so there's no subtext here. The editors have simply strung together an alphabetized listing of many (but not all) films touching on gay and lesbian themes. But, if you're wondering where to start in this specialized area, "Bent Lens" provides some pointers. A few caveats: the indices are limited to names of directors and genres (what about the stars?), there is no indication of what is and what is not available on video, and there are some factual errors (James LeGros is NOT the psycopathic killer in "Blood and Concrete," for instance), but Daniel and Jackson have provided a valuable service here, and I'm especially grateful for the wealth of information on the many foreign films--from Hong Kong to Reykjavik--that so rarely reach these shores. Thumbs up from this movie fan.

Wowza Yowza, I agree with Every ONE!.......1999-01-29
This is far better and more in-depth than the first edition, and the author only seems to get better with every version. He's become more eclectic in his choices, my god, there's some kinky stuff in there (read the review on FIREWATER!) and he has smaller companies, like Brush Creek and Titan, not just the BIG obnoxious ones like Catalina, Centaur etc. Can't wait 'til the 2000 version to see what this expert picks! I thought I knew 'em all!
