October
2006:
Not much to tell:
It's been all too quiet on the Guin front, but she is mentioned briefly regarding the Itty Bitty Titty Committee at 247Gay.com. Website Film Threat also mention Guinevere regarding the Mainstream Kink award Notorious Bettie Page has won.
We may not be updating the site so much in the future (particularly over Jan / Feb 2007), unless people send us specific things they feel other fans want to know. Life is just too manic and the news sources we thought we had are also very busy it would seem. Sorry for any inconvenience.
August
2006:
Bettie Page UK Release and interview:
For those
interested, The Notorious Bettie Page is now released in
the UK (it opened yesterday, though not at all cinemas).

you can read it HERE.

2006 UPDATES:
The UK gets Hung and the site gets a revamp:
Those
of you in the UK who want to see 'Hung' can catch it at
numerous places as the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival
has begun. Catch it at Glasgow Film Theatre 30 July, Filmhouse

As regulars to the site will see, we've finally got around
to finalising the code for the new site, it took many hours,
but we think it neatens things up better than the previous
design. We hope you like it. Lastly, on a bit of a negative
note, Angela has her say on BloodRayne.

US readers) are running The

short. Why is this Guin news? Well as you can see Dani and

on, you know you want to.

publicity shot, we've placed them on the Betty
Page .. er.. page, for you to check out.
Jan
2006 UPDATES:
BloodRayne Gets Frosty Reception:
It's
no surprise to video game fans (such as we are) that BloodRayne
(based on the game of the same name) has had a rather frosty
reception. Videogame films are generally very dire and if
you add Uwe Boll into the mix, they're worse. On the upside
(and of little surprise) is that the writing (done by Guin)
is the one bright flame in an otherwise dull production.
Whew!
Coverage
for Bloodrayne mentioning Guin:
Seattle
Post: What's So Funny About Blood and Sex?
Chicago
Tribune: Movie Review BloodRayne
Screen
Daily: BloodRayne Review
Thanks
to Staci for pointing us to a video interview with Guin
at Horror.About.com
from the BloodRayne premiere. It's short but sweet as they
say.
The Itty Bitty Titty Committee:
Guin
in new film. A full length feature film about a High School
graduate who finds herself after hooking up with some radical
feminists inthe aforementioned IBTC. It stars Clea Duvall,
Guin Turner, Leslie Grossman, Jane Lynch and Tammy Lyn Michaels.
It's being Directed by Jamie Babbett. If you want to be
an extra in the movie email: ibtc.movie@gmail.com You have
to be available in the LA area between Jan 28 and Feb 23.

May
2nd 2005 UPDATES:
GuinTurner.com Ripped Off:
Ok
so we were surfing the net when we come across a new guin
site, cool we think... only to see it's essentially a cut
and paste of our site...nice! Look.. we're kind souls, people
generally say we're 'nice', so why steal? Why not email
us and ASK if you can use our HARD work, we'd REALLY appreciate
that. We're not naming names because frankly that's a little
bitchy and childish, but since we haven't had a response
to our email and the person is clearly a visitor here that's
why I'm mentioning it. Do the right thing ok, a LOT of hours
go into this site. 'Maddys' rant over.
April
14th 2005 UPDATES:

5th 2005 UPDATES:
Note to self.. must try harder! Sorry guys and gals
but it's been a mad few months, I'll try and update more
often from this point forth. Our lovely Detective Debbie
is away in Australia so we're not swamped with the usual
amount of mini updates but we'd like to wish her all the
luck whilst she's there and we'll try and keep the Guin
News coming in her stead.
Guin Not Asked Back For Season 3 of the L Word:
We're
stunned.. and more than a little baffled by this news but
in a recent interview for Lesbian News Guin was told about
the L Word getting it's third season green light and her
reply was... "Well, it's also just been confirmed to
me that I am not being asked back to be on the writing staff
of the 3rd season, for reasons unknown and unexplained to
me, so that's a bummer." .. That IS a bummer!
(thanks to Nea and Lynne
for this info).
Q
& A on the way.. maybe:
In association with Guin Turner Livejournal
we've compiled a bunch of questions for Guin from you guys

5th 2004 UPDATE:
Thanks to Sue we have a very cool Article!
'The
Outtraveler' magazines... 'Lipstick
Los Angeles - The L Word Comes to Life!
This article has Guin out and about in LA seeking out lesbians
who look like those in the L-Word, not like the actresses
but of the same stock as those portrayed in the show. Partly
written in response to criticism on lesbian representation
in the L Word and partly written as a tour guide to LA's
gay girls scene, the article is both funny and informative.
Thanks Sue!
SEPTEMBER
15th 2004 UPDATE:
Lots of mini snippets of Guin news thanks to Debbie!
News
from Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival 2004
Taken from EXPRESS GAY NEWS www.expressgaynews.com
Laughter for the Ladies.
Actress and filmmaker Guinevere Turner was a suprise guest
at Sunday's "ladies who Brunch" programme. Turner's
short film "Hummer", opened the programme. She
tried to comment on the film, though the most telling comment
made by the droopy- eyed turner was that she'd been drinking
champagne since 9 that morning.
More
info on Guin at the Indianapolis film fest, and news that
Guin may star in another film with Director Catherine Crouch
!! Taken from Gayteens.org
Jim
Verraros, star of the award-winning "Eating Out,"
and Guinevere Turner, star of "Hummer," are attending
tonight's kickoff reception for the fourth Indianapolis
LGBT Film Festival. The 7 p.m. reception is at Key Cinemas,
4044 S. Keystone Ave., home of the festival today through
Sunday. They also plan to attend other showings this
weekend. Writer-director Catherine Crouch also will be in
town for the festival. She's shooting a film starring Turner
here and in Brookville in November. At 8:15 p.m. today,
Turner ("Chasing Amy," "American Psycho")
and Verraros, a finalist in the first season of "American
Idol," will introduce their films, with a Q&A following
the screenings. The 10-minute "Hummer" is about
"a woman obsessed with details" who doesn't notice
"the obvious" at a dinner party she throws for
friends. "Eating Out," a comedy that picked up
a $10,000 Levi's First Feature Award at the San Francisco
International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival in June, is
a sexual- identities shuffle, in which a guy in college
pretends to date the gay best friend of a girl in order
to get to her. The 28-year-old San Francisco festival is
the oldest gay and lesbian film festival, drawing about
80,000 people annually.
