Last week, I was invited to join the members of the Metropolitan Society for their monthly gala dinner in Fairfield, New Jersey. The Metropolitan Society is the premiere private cigar club in New Jersey, formed to allow free-thinking adults to smoke their stogies without bothering with any "pain in the ass innocent bystanders" (as The Godfather's Clemenza might say). During the festivities I was introduced to Tommy Z, a dyed-in-the-wool Cinema Retro reader who recently started his own web site, PlanetZMan. He gave me a brief tour and I was greatly impressed. In an age of political correctness, Tommy Z is fighting back against the forces of do-gooders who are determined to save us from ourselves. You know, the kind of people who are terrified that somewhere, somehow, somebody might be having a good time. Tommy's web site is an addictive blend of every politically incorrect angle you can think of: from the joys of rolling cigars to an homage to the wonderful world of cleavage. While the site is clearly geared to straight males who think even Sam Peckinpah was a bit too "touchy, feely", it's clear that almost anyone from any walk of life will appreciate Tommy's humorous takes on life. (I particularly love his editorial denouncing political correctness in today's cartoons.) Do yourself a favor and check it out by clicking here
