Ever Wondered Why A Woman Would Be Reluctant To Accept Your Help

This video shows a utopia where a woman can do what she did with no problem, a place where men are always helpful and polite, and a woman is always safe. It does a good job of showing why women feel scared even when guys are trying to be helpful. Not all men are like the men in the video, and women know that, but a woman doesn't know a man's intentions when she first encounters them.

If you watched this video and kept thinking, "Why is she talking to them!? Why didn't she just call her mom!? Why did she let them give her a ride!?!?" the way you're feeling is how victim-blaming happens. She had no choice, really, but to accept help from these men. And if they hadn't been helpful, it would not have been her fault. Remember that. –Up Worthy

This Skiing Video Is So Bonkers

This professional skier knows no boundaries.

Candide Thovex conquers France's Val Blanc resort in a mind-blowing clip titled "One Of Those Days 2." He races in and out of what appears to be forbidden territory and straight into the crazy zone.

The French skier's amazing daredevilry -- combined perhaps with sharp editing and a staged moment or two -- provides pure adrenaline-charged entertainment. And it's carving up the Internet: Millions have viewed the clip since it was posted Jan. 15.

One YouTube user best summed up the footage by writing it was as if Thovex were skiing through a video game.

We couldn't agree more. -Source: Huffington Post

Roddy McDowall's Star-Studded 1965 Home Movies

For lovers of classic Hollywood, nothing compares to the extraordinary home movies made by gay movie star Roddy McDowall in the summer of 1965.

McDowall had an open house at his Malibu beach home every Sunday afternoon, and everyone who was anyone showed up. A-listers like Judy Garland, Natalie Wood, Jane Fonda, Paul Newman, Julie Andrews, Anthony Perkins, and Sal Mineo can all be seen in the movies laughing, chatting, and splashing around in sexy swimsuits — Hollywood royalty simply enjoying each other's company on a sunny beach day.

The popular child star of How Green Was My Valley, Roddy McDowall grew up to be an accomplished adult actor in Cleopatra and the iconic Planet of the Apes films. He was also a fairly openly gay man who was close friends with almost every star, mainly because everyone trusted him and knew that he would never tell tales — and Lord knows he could have! McDowall died from cancer at age 70 in 1998.

With so many huge stars in town making movies, the summer of 1965 is the stuff of Hollywood legend. In addition to filming Inside Daisy Clover with Natalie Wood and Robert Redford, McDowell was also making Lord Love a Duck with Tuesday Weld. While Lauren Bacall and Paul Newman were making Harper, Simone Signoret was in town shooting Ship of Fools with Vivien Leigh. Meanwhile, Julie Andrews had just won an Oscar for Mary Poppins. Because all of these famous people adored McDowall, they flocked to his Sunday open house for hot dogs and beer. Everyone felt safe, protected, and free to be themselves.

These films are fascinating time capsules of Hollywood in the late '60s, and it's almost impossible to pick a favorite moment from shots of Lauren Bacall posing, Rock Hudson sticking out his tongue, and a buff Sal Mineo gyrating for his host. I'm especially fond of the stunning footage of Lee Remick, ravishing star of Anatomy of a Murder and Days of Wine and Roses, who died so young.

If only some enterprising filmmaker would turn all this footage into a feature length documentary! But even without sound, McDowall's home movies might be the most fascinating cinematic find in years.

Do yourself a favor and watch these casual glimpses into Hollywood history below. If you love old movies and movie stars, it doesn't get any better. –Source: Gay.net

Musical Group Of Elderly Men Conduct A Spontaneous Performance On A Plane

The passengers on this plane were in for quite the treat when a group of elderly men decided to pass the time by singing a song. The plane had been stalled for more than an hour because of maintenance and I have no doubt that the passengers were getting antsy. The plane was headed from Indianapolis to New Orleans and just so happened to be carrying Maine barbershop quartet Port City Sound. The quartet is made up of Walt Dowling, Fred Moore, Jim Curtis and Jim Simpson, men with a passion for music. Flight attendant Kari Mann was quick to whip out her phone when she realized the quartet had burst into song. It's obvious from the video that Mann wasn't the only one who felt compelled to capture the beautiful moment on camera.

Port City Sound won the Senior Quartet Championship for Maine and New Jersey. The quartet performs concerts in the northeast where their harmonies have garnered quite the following. It's hard not to love these guys especially when they use their beautiful harmonies to entertain a plane full of anxious passengers.

Here at SF Globe, we love watching everyday-people perform gracious acts like this. We hope you enjoy this video as much as we did. Don't forget to tell us what you think in the comments section below! -SF Glob

Lauren Bacall Sings And Dances In A NYC Gay Bar In Broadway's 'Applause'

Lauren Bacall won a Tony for her performance in Broadway's "Applause." Here's a rare video clip of the late, great icon singing "But Alive."

Bacall was part of the original cast. "Applause" ran for 896 performances, from March 30, 1970 to July 27, 1972.


"It's very 70s, and truly a classic. Just seeing Bacall play the gay diva and sing and get flipped and flung around by the guys is worth the price alone," the YouTube video notes read, adding, it "had been filmed for TV two years after it opened on Broadway. That special only aired once on network TV and has never been seen again. This is just pure fun, especially if you love stuff like this."

Pure fun, indeed.

The New York Daily News writes of Bacall and "Applause":

    The show's book writers Betty Comden and Adolph Green crafted the story for her, and noted in the souvenir program: "When Miss Bacall enters a million-watt bulb miraculously switched on inside people's heads. And when her she lets out her dirty, throaty laugh ... the occasion becomes a celebration of life."

    Her second Tony came for headlining "Woman of the Year," a musical version of the Katharine Hepburn-Spencer Tracy movie.

The CD of "Applause" (image, top) is still available on Amazon.

Lauren Bacall passed away at the age of 89 [ back in August, 2014]. –The New Civil Rights Movement
