Guinevere Turner says she and Rose Troche are working on a sequel to Go Fish.
I have an inordinate amount of love for that movie (hence its tagline has become the title of my blog), despite the fact that, as Turner herself describes it, it's just a bunch of women talking, and despite its unconventional elements. Or maybe because of those two things. At any rate, I adore it, but I wonder how exactly a sequel would work. Go Fish was not big on plot. There isn't exactly more to the story, you know? I guess it'll be like revisiting the characters 15 or so years later, and seeing what they're up to now? Or something?
Anyway, it doesn't sound like it's coming down the pipeline any time soon, since Turner said in the same interview that she's aiming to write and direct a lesbian rom-com (that is not GF2) in 2009. I look forward to both.
Speaking of Turner, I wonder if Gabby Deveaux will appear in the L Word spinoff? She told Andrea Meyerson that she's shooting at least one episode of the sixth season, and since Alice is featured in the spinoff, might not Gabby be tagging along?

Laughing Matters: Next Gen
The latest installment in Andrea Meyerson's comedy-documentary series Laughing Matters is out on AfterEllen. I thought it was pretty good, but I felt like Bridget McManus got short-changed on screen time. Is that because some of her material is too X-rated? Or am I just being petty because I was really only watching it for her and Gloria Bigelow?
Logo did post extra footage (including one of Bridget's dirtier jokes) online, along with clips from the previous films in the series. My favourite will always be the original, with Suzanne Westenhoefer.
In other comedy news, I really enjoyed the opening sketch of yesterday's Saturday Night Live, with Tina Fey as Sarah Palin and (of course) Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton. I actually love Tina and Amy together so much that I'm thinking of renting Baby Mama, even though I saw it in the theatre and it was really not great. I only watched SNL this week because I heard Tina was guesting -- I generally avoid it for two reasons: one, I don't usually laugh at anything but Weekend Update, and two, I'm too disturbed by the fact that Andy Samberg and I have basically the same hair.
