Now playing on Sundance Channel: From naughty films to brutal ends

Ah, lovely, fragile February. While the groundhogs can’t seem to make up their minds on just how much winter we’ve got left, those of us on the East Coast are still waiting for that alleged season to start. But, regardless of what the mercury tells us, it’s still hibernating season (and, well, fighting off the flu season), so we’ve got some killer indie movies lined up to get you through the next week:

Robert Redford talks Sundance Channel and our ‘independent spirit’

Robert Redford didn’t just create the Sundance Film Festival, he also started Sundance Channel (thanks for that, btw). So when he stopped by to catch up (and make sure we were all doing our jobs correctly) he opened up about the challenges starting a channel pose for someone so rooted in the indie world. It all worked out and now Sundance Channel is expanding the audience for the types of films Sundance was started to foster. It’s always nice to hear the boss say you are on the right track. Check out all of what Redford has to say on representing the ‘independent spirit’ over on our video page, or right here:

Watch the latest from Park City: Only on Sundance Channel

By now you know that Sundance Channel is set to have Park City locked down over at our Sundance Film Festival site. But, you can also catch coverage on-air by tuning into 10 DAYS OF SUNDANCE, a program that will provide viewers with unparalleled access to the films, celebrities, events and buzz from the festival. 10 DAYS OF SUNDANCE kicks off on January 20th and continues through January 29th, airing nightly from 6-8P E/P.

Sundance Channel will present the network’s largest ever multimedia experience at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival with robust on air, on site and online activities in order to provide unprecedented access to those attending the festival and for fans at home. “Sundance Channel HQ” will offer a one-stop shop for exclusive Festival media coverage, insider events, musical performances, celebrity news, and guests can unwind and recharge while enjoying the many Sundance Channel HQ events.

Sundance Channel greenlights new, original non-fiction series PUSH GIRLS

Docu-Series Explores The Lives Of Four Women As They Tackle Everyday Challenges, All While Living With Paralysis

Push Girl \’pu̇sh ’gər(-ə)l\ noun, definition:
a) A fierce, fearless female who is not helpless, hapless or hopeless.
b) A powerful woman who might be confined by a wheelchair but does not let her paralysis confine or define her life.
c) A person who sheds their handicap and faces life head on.

In the same way “Murderball,” winner of the 2005 Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival, took the lid off the competitive world of “wheelchair rugby,” Sundance Channel is bringing an unfettered, uncensored glimpse at what it means to be sexy, ambitious and living with paralysis in Hollywood with PUSH GIRLS, a new original non-fiction series from producer Gay Rosenthal (“Ruby,” “Little People, Big World”).

Tonight on GWLBWLB: Hurricane Brent rages on and Peter hits a tiny snag

Being a gay dad in Nashville looks hard. We’re guessing Peter is the only gay parent in his daughter’s class. Hopefully we’re only seeing the most dramatic tidbit of this conversation here, because we want to see hugs in a situation like this. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

A Very Stanley Kubrick New Year’s Eve

Just admit it. You don’t really want to go out on New Year’s Eve. It’s amateur hour! Someone will probably puke on you and you won’t be able to get a cab. And if you don’t live someplace with cabs there is a good chance 90% of people on the road will be drunk. Do yourself a favor and stay in. We’ve got you covered with a Stanley Kubrick double feature.

This week on GWLBWLB: Keeping your head in the game

There is only one shopping day left until the next GIRLS WHO LIKE BOYS WHO LIKE BOYS. Sherrié is off to New York with Shane for her record release party. But while she’s worrying about knocking everyones’ socks off, he’s got relationship drama on the mind. Will Shane get it together for their big night?

Fights are fun — Peter’s dangerous addiction to Drama

We’ve all got problems, especially around this time of year. And if your biggest problem is that your pregnant best friend likes to go to bed at 10 p.m. and can’t get drunk with you…then consider yourself lucky? We’ve already got a drunk uncle crashing on the couch, a sibling in the midst of a nervous breakdown and a mother who swears she’s not coming over unless her three teacup Yorkies get to sit at the dinner table. C’mon Peter, you’ve made THREE babies, you must know how this works.

Give your pet a QUIRKY little Christmas

We spoke to your dog. And he’d really appreciate it you didn’t buy him some sweater for Christmas. It’s just, you know, he thinks it is really undignified to dress an animal up like that. But, and I swear these were his words, the folks at QUIRKY came up with a pretty great pet problem solution that would make an excellent stocking stuffer.

Now playing on Sundance Channel: Unwrap MARIE ANTOINETTE on Christmas Eve

This week on Sundance is adults only: intense films about violence, sex, and parties, almost all praised for stunning visuals. And on Christmas Eve, Santa is bringing MARIE ANTOINETTE, with all of the ribbons, candy, and costumes you would expect for such a festive occasion.

Get more GWLBWLB: That went swimmingly

There are a few situations when it is OK to lie on a first date. If your date asks an inappropriate question, for example, it’s ok to fib instead of dodge. And if you met online, but your paramour looks and acts like a completely different person in the flesh, it’s ok to smile and nod before you run away, never to be seen or heard from again. This week’s deleted scene, however, has got to mark the first time we’ve ever heard anybody lie about not being able to swim.

APPROPRIATE ADULT’s Emily Watson nominated for a Golden Globe

Congratulations to Emma Watson on her Golden Globe nomination for Sundance Channel original movie APPROPRIATE ADULT. Watson’s Janet Leach is up against some pretty heavy hitters in the Best Actress — Miniseries or Movie category. It’s a Brit-heavy competition featuring Kate Winslett, Mildred Pierce; Elizabeth McGovern, Downton Abbey; Romola Garai, The Hour (which stars APPROPRIATE ADULT’s Dominic West); and some American lady named Diane Lane, CINEMA VERITE.

This week on GWLBWLB: Cops and crushes

A night in jail, a girl-on-gay-boy crush and ripped men in Santa speedos…well, it’s all in a day’s work down in Nashville. This week’s GIRLS WHO LIKE BOYS WHO LIKE BOYS is one part Law and Order and two parts Christmas cheer.

Get more GWLBWLB: Getting ready for the holidays

We get it. You came here hoping for an extra bit of Jared’s sex tape. You’ll have to go digging around on the Internet to find that yourself (and then post a link for us, obviously). We’re not doing that because we want to end up on Santa’s nice list. And we’re not the only ones getting ready for the holidays. Sherrié and Shane have a little Christmas single they’ve been working on.

West and Watson wow just about everyone in APPROPRIATE ADULT

If you are anything like us, you can’t wait to see more of Dectective McNulty looking like Creepy McCreeperson. But, if you are not one of the legions of fans ready to tune into APPROPRIATE ADULT on Saturday night then perhaps we can convince you.

The power of a good tip

The next time you are in Nashville you have GOT to stop by the Red Lobster. If Jared and Tenisha are any example, the servers are, obviously, way more fun than the food.

Born this gay: Tomorrow on GWLBWLB

Missed periods! Questioning your sexuality! Jesus! No, you have not been transported back to the worst year of your life (junior year of high school — trust). It’s just a sneak peak at what we’ve got in store for you tomorrow night on GIRLS WHO LIKE BOYS WHO LIKE BOYS.

American Idol alum, and bonafide pop superstar, Adam Lambert knew it was time to bring his wardrobe from trashy-tacky to fashion forward.

Get more GWLBWLB: See Brent’s other side

brightcove.createExperiences(); Well, that was awkward. If Jared wasn’t just subjected to the worst first date in history then we’re not sitting here eating leftover pie for breakfast (again). But, Brent isn’t always a total mess. The guy runs PR and organizes events for half of Nashville. He even manages to keep his pants on most [...]

Be thankful for our issues

Bedazzling for the Lord — Check out MORE GWLBWLB

So, what do you think of Shane’s Jesus t-shirts? Well, we’re never going to turn down something sparkly, but perhaps they were a bit…much? Sherrié certainly seemed to think so. Everyone is entitled to their own spiritual journey, so let’s check out the journey that brought us these fabulous shirts. They certainly didn’t just emerge fully formed and perfectly bedazzled, you know.
