I, like you minions, can't wait until all this is over, so what have all of you been doing with your time, well here are some of the things I've been doing, texting and thinking... For reasons only known to them HBO is playing a lot of old movies of late. Sometimes it's great when they play gems like Dangerous Liasons, but most of the time it's, meh My Social Media game has improved of late, there's that In today's episode of My Life With The Chill Pill Cult Alyssa Milano is trending on Twitter at present. It's because she called out Bernie Sanders for putting his ego above the greater good. Wait, don't we already have a President that does that?! If one is unhappy about the way they are depicted in a documentary, here's a hint - stop being a jerk Life Hack: If you keep a glass of wine in each hand you can't touch your face...you're welcome! Kenny Rogers checking out during the apocalypse is the most "know when to fold them" gangsta move I've ever seen The things I will put up your a$$ if you don't STFU, luckily I have a lot of bananas
Woman Crush of the Week - Michelle Pfeiffer as Madame de Tourvel in Dangerous Liasons - Beautiful and heartbreaking. See's Candy has halted production, the line has officially been crossed Employees at Grocery Stores right now should get combat pay Helpful Tip - remember Vegans are the closest thing to grass fed. Think about it, but not too much #quaranpeen
"Cellophane flowers of yellow and green, Towering over your head, Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes, And she's gone" - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, The Beatles While I have never been a huge fan of The Beatles they don't suck either. I woke this ayem with this song in my head. Obviously they did something effective, the tone for the day is set minions. I wonder what comes next??? Closer with Jude Law, Clive Owen, Natalie Portman & Julia Roberts was on HBO last night. I really love that film Today's burning question? Why does anyone need to know the way to San Jose? Asking for a friend... Hitting the 30th Anniversary Screening of John Waters Cry-Baby up on The Montalban rooftop tonight - Yeah, there's that. Lying is the most fun you can have without taking off your clothes, the more you know I wanna hold your gland Surprise of the week - Billie Eilish winning five Grammy's and Lizzo winning merely three Know any lubricant scholars?

Double Dragon (Collector's Edition) coming to Blu-ray / DVD
for the first time ever on January 22nd
All star cast includes Robert Patrick (Terminator 2: Judgement Day),
Scott Wolf ("Party of Five"), Mark Dacascos (John Wick 3: Parabellum),
Alyssa Milano ("Charmed") and Julia Nickson (Rambo: First Blood Part II)
For you lovers of bad films, don't ever say I'm not a giver... 'Tis the Season after all!
From director James Yukich (Shawn Mendes: Live at the Greek Theatre), producers Don Murphy(Transformers, Natural Born Killers), Jane Hamsher (From Hell) and Alan Schechter (Showdown), with a screenplay written by Michael Davis (Shoot 'Em Up) and Emmy® Award Winner Peter Gould (Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad) comes the cult classic movie based on the video game smash hit.
Double Dragon roars to life with amazing special effects, spectacular action sequences, and a knock-about sense of humor. It's the year 2007, and what remains of LA is now ''New Angeles'', a city ravaged by earthquakes, tidal waves and vicious gangs. The evil tycoon Koga Shuko (Robert Patrick, Terminator 2: Judgment Day) is obsessed with finding the two halves of a talisman known as the ''Double Dragon'', which will give him awesome mystical powers. Two teenaged brothers, Jimmy (Mark Dacascos, John Wick 3) and Billy Lee (Scott Wolf, Party of Five) find themselves in possession of the amulet's missing half, thrusting them into the adventure of their lives. With the help of Maria (Alyssa Milano, Charmed) and her vigilante group ''The Power Corps'', Jimmy and Billy must summon all of their courage, resourcefulness and martial-arts skills to stop the villain's malevolent plan.
Eric D. Wilkinson, who oversees the MVD Rewind Collection shares his enthusiasm for this release. "Double Dragon was arguably one of my favorite projects for the Rewind Collection. This release marks the first time Double Dragon will be available on Blu-ray and in HD in North America! Special features producer Richard Schenkman and I worked tirelessly to create some amazing brand new bonus material that includes a feature length "making of" documentary that I know collectors will love. These new bonus features along with some great archival bonus material and the addition of the pilot of the "Double Dragon" animated television series (courtesy of Invincible Entertainment), MVD is proud to present the definitive edition of Double Dragon in a kick-ass (pun intended) Blu-ray + DVD combo pack collector's set."
Crackling with the energy and humor of its two heroes, Double Dragon is a high-octane action spectacular.

What's That On Your Head? A Purple Ankh!
Michael Shinafelt
What's that you say? Why did I draw a purple Ankh on my head? Because today is LGBTQ Spirit Day! A community of which I am proud to be a part of. Support them and take a stand against bullying people, really we do have the power! This was also the week of a movement spearheaded by Alyssa Milano. In response to the whole Harvey Weinstein debacle, those of us who have had sexual violations in our life are urged to keep the dialogue flowing with #metoo if we have suffered such abuse. Well let's start this weeks column off on a note of positive energy, shall we? #metoo The Ankh is the Egyptian symbol of life. I have one tattooed above my right ankle. Thus my use of it this week in honor of LGBTQ Spirit Day. Oooooops! Ryan Murphy did it again, like he always does. As American Horror Story is headed into the home stretch he comes up with some grafted on story line that really has nothing to do with the rest of the show to accommodate a famous person who wants to guest star. In this case Lena Dunham as Valerie Solanas - pointless and boring, I was on Instagram most of the show. You'd think he'd learn, but no. Check out my Halloween chat with fellow horror lover author M.E. Franco https://mefrancoauthor.blogspot.com/2017/10/halloween-time-with-michael-shinafelt.html Did it hurt when you fell from the whore tree and banged every guy on the way down? Salmon spinach salad with tomato & avocado, that is all

I don't know about you, but I feel a need to let off some steam, and ramble. Let's get busy!!! Wouldn't life be more fun if everyone's middle name was "Mother Fuckin'?" Hi, I'm Michael "Mother Fuckin'" Shinafelt, it has a nice ring. Saw Moonlight this week with Naama Kates, amazing/beautiful/brilliant my pick for best film of the year. I am so proud to call Los Angeles, CA my home as 750,000 strong turned out for the Women's March. My regret was I was unable to attend.

Alyssa Milano
Who Wears Short Hair? I Wear Short Hair!
Happy 43rd Birthday to Alyssa Milano ! Alyssa has been one of my grrrrrrlcrushes since Charmed, no not Who's The Boss, I like my women legal.
One of the things I adore about her, is not only her special brand of pretty & accessible. But she is also down to earth and no nonsense. If she believes in something she is not one to trifle with. For example her recent middle finger wave to those who criticized her for breastfeeding in front of others. Hello?! She spends hours in a make-up chair, what is she supposed to do, starve her child?!
So what does one do for your 43rd Birthday when you have it all? Why go pixie or go home! Yes Alyssa took to her Instagram page with her latest version of the pixie look.
About twelve years ago she wore a short do on Charmed. She captioned the image with the following: "Short hair don't care"
Of course her followers went wild pontificating:
"Season 6 Phoebe is back!" one person said.
The late great Elizabeth Taylor also made the mix.
"Remind me of Elizabeth Taylor," a fan wrote.
"You look like Elizabeth Taylor beautiful," said another.
Love you Alyssa missing you on Mistresses!
Look for the Hair Necessities with Alyssa on Instagram:
