First post of 2010

Today’s latest news. It’s been a long
battle here in Hawaii. The public has
long awaited the decision of the court
of Hawaii and the courts have voted yes.
Homosexuals do have the right to get
married. Judge Kevin Chang’s ruling has
made history in this country.

Of course, that's from the first 5 minutes of the movie, where Arthur turns on the radio (to the ever popular Plot Exposition station) and happens to catch the above news report Ben told him about.
And as you recall, Ben and Arthur's plans to "fucking go to Hawaii" are thwarted when they learn that the court's decision was overturned - leading to Arthur's hissy-fit ("This country fucking sucks, it just fucking sucks! Ooooooohhh!") and their going instead to that alternate Vermont where palm trees flourish.

Well, the Hawaiian Senate has passed a civil union bill. Perhaps Ben and Arthur could have waited, oh, seven years?

Anyway, I haven't posted here in a while, and I just thought I'd add that.

As you might know, Part 1 of the movie was taken down from YouTube. The distributor, Ariztical (which owns CultureQ Connection), made a copyright claim, which they have every right to do, and YT pulled Part 1. So far, the other parts are still online, and Part 1 has been re-posted, but all the comments that originally accompanied Part 1 are lost.
A couple of years ago YT user "erectushomo" was the first to post B&A in its entirety. YT took down all parts, acting on a copyright claim by some German company that had nothing whatever to do with the film, not Ariztical or CQC.


Here's Part 1 reposted:


And look, there's the tripod!
