There will be no Screen on the Green this year because, well, Piedmont Park is busy with other stuff and there's that pesky sponsorship issue that has plagued the popular film series for a few years after some people were wounded by real-live gunfire, not the kind in movies.
But have no fear, some in Atlanta's gay community — as in the Evolution Project — is picking up the slack and will screen "The Devil Wears Prada" on Sunday at sunset as part of its new "Queens on the Green" series. And what better "Queens on the Green" film is there to start things of than a little Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway bitchy realness.

Despite the recent focus on bullying in schools, many LGBT kids face their worst bullying at home. Take your pick from new films about these two kinds of bullying – or see both.
Old school meets new in “Leave It on the Floor,” a refreshing musical set in the ball scene immortalized by Jennie Livingston in “Paris Is Burning,” or at least its West Coast equivalent.
It begins when the mother of the teenaged protagonist, Brad (Ephraim Sykes), finds out he’s gay and throws him out of the house. (It’s OK. He steals her car.) Brad lands on his feet and discovers another kind of house in the ball scene, where his guide is Princess Eminence (Phillip Evelyn) of the House of Eminence.

Gay filmmaker Patrik-Ian Polk of “Noah's Arc” and “Punks” fame will release his latest feature “The Skinny” for a special one-week showcase in Atlanta.
“The Skinny” centers on a group of four young black gay men and their best lesbian friend who arrange a reunion in New York City a year after graduating from Brown University.
Though the film is a comedy, Polk says that serious issues affecting the LGBT community are addressed in the film, including HIV/AIDS, infidelity and date-rape.

When Jesus said, “Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for a friend,” cosmetic surgery was not an option.
Genesis P-Orridge (of the industrial bands Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV) and Lady Jaye Breyer had the nip/tuck option and took it.
Rather than having children together they decided to “create a new person” by having themselves surgically altered to look like each other.

Judging from available information, there will be as many LGBT faces on movie screens this spring as on the committee drafting the Republican platform. Even Focus Features, which gave us “Beginners” last year and “The Kids Are All Right” the year before, has nothing to offer.
While hoping for some surprises, we’ll mention a few titles that still should interest our readers.
Fresh from their Oscar triumph with “The Artist,” The Weinstein Company has two films with Atlanta dates to be announced. “Bully” is the documentary about school bullying that’s stirred up a storm because of the Restricted rating that will keep unaccompanied youngsters from seeing it.
