One More Thing Before We Go: More Noah’s Arc
Somehow it didn’t occur to me to post the trailer for the delightfully awful-yet-awesome Noah’s Arc in my post about the upcoming movie yesterday. So I’m correcting that mistake now. Here’s the preview for Noah’s Arc: Jumping the Broom.
Perhaps it should be titled “Noah’s Arc: Jumping the Shark?” I know fans were let-down that the show wasn’t picked up for a third season, but this is kinda silly.
This show has always been one of those entirely embarrassing guilty pleasures that you don’t dare admit to anyone that you actually WATCH – not because you like it, but because you can’t believe it will get any campier or unbearable (and then all of a sudden it does.) Yet, like a train wreck, you can’t take your eyes off of it once you’ve started an episode – though I often have a hard time making it to the end of a 29 minute episode without groaning, so I’m sure a full-length 2 hour movie will feel like having a Caesarian section.
On the whole, though, glad the show did well enough to make it to 2 seasons, despite the ridiculous wardrobe, the overwrought dialogue and the ham-handed plots – as David Alan Grier would say, “Have you LOST your damn mind?!”
And what’s with the curious lack of white people in this “gay black world” – none of the main characters dated anyone outside of their race. I guess the same was true on QAF, though…
One last punch while this bitch is down – Jenson Atwood’s hair makes him look like a whacked-out version of Gene Wilder in YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN. Not too flattering…

Not true, Charles! Ricky dated that hot Latino doctor with HIV from “My So Called Life” for like 3 whole episodes! But Jenson’s hair is kind of a mess in this. I’ve like that style on other guys, but somehow it’s just not working on him. Bring back the cornrows!
Yes, you’re right, Wilson Cruz was on the show as Ricky’s “love” interest (insert sarcasm here.) I caught an episode last night where he guested.
Which brings me to another observation – after dating & breaking up with Wade, Noah kept meeting these really great guys who absolutely adored him & would have taken a bullet for him, yet he would always sabotage the relationship & his own happiness becausing he was still “carrying a torch.” True, none of the other guys had Wade’s perfectly arched eyebrows, but sorry, if I have to suspend my disbelief any more I’ll get a hernia.
On an entirely selfish note, I’d kill for Noah’s lips, shoulders and arms.
And yes, bring back to the cornrows.

Oh Charles, that storyline nearly made me stop watching during the last season. I hate when EVERYONE that the main character comes across falls in love with her or him. So annoying and really lazy writing.
But I’ve seen women pass up perfectly great guys because they were still pining for the last one, so I didn’t have to suspend my disbelief for Noah’s actions.
