Voice of Alice in Paranormal Activity 2?

OH.MY.GOD. I just went to see "Paranormal Activity 2" and for the longest time, I could swear Leisha Hailey (Alice on The L Word, for those who think the name sound familiar, but can't quite place it, LOL) was in the movie. Only her voice though!

I am telling you, the teenage girl in this movie sounded SO much like Leisha that it was freaking me out. Leisha Hailey has a pretty distinct voice, but this girl's voice was a deadringer. She did a good job and looks nothing like Leisha Hailey, but you don't see her at first. Anyway, if you've seen this movie or you do go see it, then please leave a comment here and let me know if I'm the only one hearing Leisha Hailey/Alice Pieszecki's voice.

And if you remotely liked the first "Paranormal Activity" you really need to watch the sequel - which is actually a prequel, and I recommend watching the first one (again) before going to see this movie. It was pretty damn awesome!

Fun gay fact: as soon as the movie ended, I did a Google search for "Paranormal Activity 2 + Leisha Hailey" and while nothing came up about her being in this movie, she DOES have a horror movie coming out. She plays straight, but is the wife of a true gay guy icon: Gale Harold! As in Brian Kinney from Queer As Folk. The movie is called "Fertile Ground". See, sometimes two gay icons CAN make a straight couple good. Even when one of the actors are gay IRL - you hear that, Newsweek? I don't think Gale Harold is gay, though I would love to have him on our team. And he's great as a straight ally, in any case. And brilliant at acting gay. ;o)

Have a GREAT Friday... and go listen to/for Leisha Hailey's voice, would you? ;o)

QAF Mama and Mrs. Madrigal both go gay

OH... MY... GOD!!!

So, as always, I make sure to spend my Friday reading the latest installment of AfterEllen.com's "Best.Lesbian.Week.Ever", and then on page three there's a story on upcoming movie called "Hannah Free" starring Sharon Gless as a lesbian!

And I LOVE Sharon Gless... though the movie sounds like a pretty sad and tough lovestory, it's in a "The Notebook"-sorta way, and I ADORE "The Notebook" (makes me cry every single time).

Anyway, I'm all excited about this fantastic woman from "Cagney and Lacey" and "Queer as Folk"-fame playing a lesbian, in a lovestory type deal, when I get to page six and now it's Olympia Dukakis playing a lesbian in the upcoming movie "Cloudburst", which is a roadtrip type movie along the line of "Thelma and Louise"... Could you die?! I am SO excited by this... Mrs. Madrigal (from Armistead Maupin's "Tales of the City", in you're uninitiated) will play a lesbian.

Oh, and her lover of 30 years will be the brilliant Irish actress Brenda Fricker.

I have really high hopes for both of these movies, and simply relish the idea of having movies with lesbian lovestories that don't revolve solely around 20-something girls. I'm a 20-something girl, but I want movies portraying what I'll have with my Wifey 30 years from now - as well as portraits of our lives now, of course. I'm not giving up on that. ;o)
