Last week's batch of de rigueur politically incorrect entertainment involved attention-grabbing "trannies" and "->-bleeped-<- hags," plus a drag queen in love with a lesbian and a real-life lesbian rock star who became a straight woman when her girlfriend transitioned to a man.
And you wonder why I don't get jaded?
The Tribeca Film Festival rocked with Ticked-Off Trannies With Knives, Israel Luna's controversial film shot in Dallas–Fort Worth about a group of transsexual entertainers who are brutally attacked on a group date and turn into ass-kicking "tranimals" to fight back. The grindhouse homage is very Faster, Pussycat Kill! Kill! meets Charlie's Angels, but at the screening, Luna told me he was actually inspired by I Spit on Your Grave and an obscure Linda Blair vigilante film called Savage Streets.
