The promo video for my book, Why Are You Atheists So Angry? 99 Things That Piss Off the Godless, is out! I had more fun than a barrel of monkeys making this video. Especially the part where… well, you’ll see. It was a challenge, trying to distill the essence of a whole book into a [...]

Dream diary, 9/24/11: The Nude Version of “Sideways”
September 24th, 2011 
Greta Christina I dreamed that I was watching a version of the movie “Sideways” that was exactly the same as the original, except that all the actors were in the nude. The main thing that was surprising about this, apart from the fact that it existed, was that both Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church had extensive [...]
I have my archives!
September 16th, 2011 Greta Christina I have my archives from my old blog! They’re here! With comments and everything! They’re even in the right categories! Images and videos didn’t make it over, and there are a handful of posts that didn’t make it and that I’ll have to put in by hand. (For some reason, it didn’t like my posts [...]

Sex, Love, Revenge … and Atheism? Finally, a Big New Film That Shows Non-Belief in a Positive Light
June 24th, 2011 Greta Christina “The Ledge” is smart, riveting, complex, emotionally engaging, visually gorgeous… and best of all, almost entirely unpredictable. A young man walks toward the ledge of a tall building. He is clearly filled with trepidation and even terror; at the same time, he has an equally clear air of purpose and resolve. That resolve: To jump. [...]
The People I’ve Slept With
June 14th, 2011 Greta Christina This piece was originally published on CarnalNation. The movie is now available on DVD. A young woman is talking to her newborn baby. “I love sex,” she says. “And some people thought it was a bad thing. But I’ve learned that a slut is just a woman with the morals of a man.” Sudden, screeching [...]
The Kids Are All Right
February 21st, 2011 Greta Christina This review was originally published on CarnalNation. The movie is now available on DVD, and it received four Oscar nominations, including on for Best Picture. Are queers just like everyone else? Are queers just ordinary human beings, with the same hopes and fears and neuroses and dreams as everybody? Or are queers fundamentally different from [...]
“No Strings Attached”: Sexual Convention in Transgression’s Clothes
January 28th, 2011 Greta Christina This piece was originally published on AlterNet. Is Hollywood exploring the frontiers of modern sexuality… or simply reinforcing the same old standards? Well, it could have been worse. I suppose. You may have seen the saucy, sexy previews and ads for the super-hyped new movie, “No Strings Attached.” Paramount is clearly pushing this film, not [...]
Natalie Portman’s ‘No Strings Attached’ Sex: Is Hollywood Finally Ditching Its Repressive Attitude?
January 21st, 2011 Greta Christina You may have seen the saucy, sexy previews and ads for the super-hyped new movie, “No Strings Attached.” Paramount is clearly pushing this film, not as just another romantic comedy about women hunting for marriage and men succumbing to its sweet inevitability, but as a daring, edgy, ultra-modern exploration of the “new” relationship models: casual, [...]
Sex in the City, But Lost in the Desert: Sex and the City 2
November 9th, 2010 Greta Christina This piece was originally published on CarnalNation. Honestly? It would have been a lot easier to write the Marxist/ anti-capitalist review of “Sex and the City 2″ than the sex review. And I’m not even a Marxist. There is a bizarre dearth of sex in “Sex and the City 2″… and there is a lavish [...]
