In the second segment of our video blog this week (watch the first one on Lesbians and Ladies Rooms here), Lori and I rate and review the movies and TV shows we watched in the past 10 days or so, which include the new Harry Potter movie Order of the Phoenix, Gray Matters, Puccini for Beginners, Girltrash, Hell's Kitchen(Fox), Army Wives (Lifetime), Baldwin Hills (BET), Greek (ABC Family), Entourage (HBO), The Closer (TNT), Standoff (Fox), and the History Channel documentary The Star Wars Legacy.

Yes, I realize it looks like Lori and I did nothing but watch TV and movies this week, but we're discussing a few TV episodes from the previous week, too, and it's not very often that a Harry Potter movie and two lesbian movies get released around the same time. If only they would put a lesbian in a Harry Potter movie, our life would be complete!

You'll notice a few differences in this segment: We didn't use captions because it would have taken WAY too long, since we covered so much ground in this one — and as much as I like doing this vlog, I don't want to give up my entire Sunday for it. But we'll still use captions whenever it makes sense (which will be often).

We're also using this segment to introduce our new Bunny Designation System (BDS), which is sort of like a rating system, but with bunnies. It's hard to explain, but basically ... Lori likes bunnies. And it was better than anything else we could come up with. So if you don't like it, no chocolate from the Easter Bunny for you this year! … continue reading

Since her six-year run on Saturday Night Live as the silliest superstar in the room ended, Molly Shannon has made a career of small, scenery-chewing roles. She has brought her fearless brand of wacky winsomeness to everything from TV shows like Will & Grace and Sex and the City to films like Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and the recent lesbian romantic comedy Gray Matters.

Now, Shannon is back in the spotlight with her first starring film role since the 1999’s SNL spin-off Superstar. It’s the indie romantic comedy Year of the Dog, the directorial debut of screenwriter Mike White (Nacho Libre, School of Rock, The Good Girl), which premiered at Sundance this January. The trailer looks cute enough, with Molly playing a sad, single secretary who is looking for new loves of the two- and four-legged variety.

The film also stars Laura Dern (where you been, girl?), John C. Reilly and Peter Sarsgaard (as a romantic lead? Uh, did anyone see Boys Don't Cry?).

But what’s the deal with straight girls and dogs? Apparently, every decade has its go-to romantic comedy star. The '80s has Molly Ringwald, the '90s had Meg Ryan and the '00s have Rover.

Will lesbian filmmakers follow suit and begin making Sapphic romantic comedies filled with cats? Can Must Love Whiskas be far behind?
