Saturday Sinema - Hellbound: Hallraiser II

Feel the burn... 🔥🔥🔥  

Picking up right where Hellraiser left off, Hellbound: Hellraiser II expands upon the terrifying universe created in Clive Barker's original film - taking the story into the very depths of Hell itself. Having escaped the clutches of Pinhead and the demonic Cenobites, Kirsty Cotton (Ashley Laurence) awakens to finds herself detained at the Channard Institute, a hospital for the mentally ill. But her torments are far from over - the chief doctor at the institute is determined to unleash the powers of Hell to achieve his own twisted ends. Hellbound: Hellraiser II is one of the most celebrated horror sequels of all time, offering a vision that is both more gruesome and fantastical than its predecessor.

Monday Motivation

Feeling It
Michael Shinafelt

While heading into my last two weeks of wearing a cast to recover from surgery I began pondering my life overall and you know what? It's been a good one. "Yes" rather than focus on the fact that I have lost some of the shape I worked so hard for, I chose to focus on the fact that I really haven't lost that much. (it's true, it didn't  go down as badly as I thought it would) -

Thus today's Monday Motivation is Gratitude. Gratitude comes when you meditate and clear your mind of all the BS that doesn't matter. It takes a strong person with a lot of will power to do this because in a Social Media age everything is pretty under a microscope and most things are magnified to hold more weight than they actually do.

So while in a calm state I made a check list of things I am grateful for, Gratitude. What are those thing? None of your business 😇 Trust Me the process is one that should be practiced everyday to achieve the outcome one wants of it. That would be to be a happier person so you can attract what you want in your life and shut down the rest of it.

Just do it! When you tend to your own well being it reflects to the universe and gets magnified back at you. Would I lie to you? No way...!!!

PS  Some additional wisdom, beware of petty narcissist, they are insidious 😲

Blonde Oprah

Mrs. Which, I Presume...
Oprah Winfrey

She's back and she's blonde, get used to it. That's correct peeps Oprah Winfrey is giving you blonde ambition in her latest opus A Wrinkle in Time. She plays a character named Mrs. Which, is she a good one, or a bad one? We will find out on March 9th, unless you have read the novel, well then I assume you already know the answer.

For those of us unfamiliar like me here is the storyline:

"Following the discovery of a new form of space travel as well as Meg's father's disappearance, she, her brother, and her friend must join three magical beings - Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which - to travel across the universe to rescue him from a terrible evil"

Sounds pretty standard, but here is the ahem, wrinkle that makes this guy want to go see it:

"The movie, is about what it means to be a source of light in a world in which darkness seems only to proliferate. It also makes the case for thinking independently when conformity is the norm." 

Yes the perfect antidote to the times we live in.

Oprah is quoted, saying:  

“I felt like we were making the new Wizard of Oz for another generation.”

Color me very intrigued...Blonde Oprah on a Blue Monday indeed!

Ponyboy: "Nobody Wants To Die On Christmas, Unless They Have To"

Ponyboy: Whose Package Is Bigger?
l-r Charles McVey & David Zey

Merry Christmas Peeps! I could not pass up the Holiday Season without posting one of my favorite modern Christmas songs by art fag alternative rock group Ponyboy.

This writer is a  HUGE Ponyboy fan and I have promoted them heavily here on Entertain Me. The group consists of two brilliant musicians/artists/raconteurs Charles McVey and David Zey. Their music is unapologetic, edgy and brutally honest.

"I'm Gonna Kill Myself On Christmas"  addresses the issue of LGBTQ suicides around the "happiest time of the year." While satirical in it's approach the underlying message is loud and clear.

Christmas is not only about giving and family. It's about being thankful. Please take the time to be grateful and give thanks to the universe for what you have and to realize there are others out there who are in pain.

If you are one of those people who is hurting please reach out to others for help. Trust me it's out there and people are willing if you ask.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Enjoy the video after the jump!

Hypodermic Sally @ Your Service

Hypodermic Sally Will Give You A Prick
Sarah Paulson

American Horror Story: Hotel with Lady Gaga premieres tonight! I wonder if you can do a check in there for your Facebook account? 

Well as much as I am Gaga to see the Lady as The Countess, I am equally stoked to see the amazing Sarah Paulson get to play her darkest character to date in the AHS universe a junkie named Hypodermic Sally.

Once upon a time little Sally had dreams of becoming a singer, but the dream is now over and she is now one of the minions that call The Cortez home.

Given the back story and the characters name I am going to venture to say that Hypodermic Sally is based on real life rock legend Janis Joplin.

I hear Sally has a pretty horrifying encounter with the The Addiction Demon and his drill bit penis. Yeah, you won't want to miss that!

Watch your back tonight! at:

T.G.I.F! "One Step"

One Step

And now for something completely lovely and unique, have a terrific weekend!

ONE STEP is a collaboration between the French director Clément Oberto and L.A.-based electronic composer John Tejada.

Shot in hyper slow-motion with a phantom camera in the Mojave desert, ONE STEP speaks about love, time and life trajectory. 

"After 10 years working with composers, I realized the best way to create a strong match between music and video was to start the collaboration at the earliest stage possible and leave all the doors open," says Oberto.

With ONE STEP, Tejada and Oberto deliver an audio-visual poetry located at the exact intersection between short film and music video.

John Tejada is in the midst of promotion for his upcoming album, Signs Under Test, out via Kompakt on Feb. 3, 2015. Look for the Feb. issue of German Mixmag for the 8-page cover feature (!). Or hear tunes around the globe from the BBC to KCRW.

Clément Oberto has directed and produced a myriad of work, with a peerless vision focused on the creation of distinctive universes for everything from haute couture and art, to commercials and music videos. 

Check out Oberto and Tejada's Collaboration below, you'll be glad you did!

You Know Her Name

I am pleased on so many levels to announce that one of my favorite rock icons from the 90's is truly back with an amazing new single and video.

OK, I love (pun intended) Courtney Love, I love Hole too...get with this program and you can be my friend forever. If you don't want to, I'll still like you, but it won't quite be the same.

Not to mention the flip side "Wedding Day."

Courtney is kicking it with her Rock/Alternative roots on  "You Know My Name" this icon/artist/force of nature is truly brilliant and knocks the shit out of way more paler artists today...I'm not calling anyone out on the mediocre scale who is wildly successful for no Mother F#@king reason, Rihanna..

Lay your pimp hand down, and rock out with whatever you want to pop out with Courtney!

Thank you universe that rebel rock is not dead...Can I get an enthusiastic YES!

Desperately Seeking: Avril Lavigne

Cover Art For Avril's Upcoming Album

It's been a couple of years since Ms. Avril Lavigne has put out any new music, well she's back with a new album due out this fall and she allegedly has wrote and recorded enough new songs to put out another album shortly after, when the grrrrrrrrl werks, she werks!

Up first and now is her single "Rock N Roll" - with a video that is so out there and self indulgent it can only belong to Avril, and I mean that as a compliment, hey isn't that one of the reasons the people who like her, like her?

Actually there is a source for the madness this video draws on, a movie called 'Tank Girl" starring a then known Lorie Petty as "Tank Girl" and a then unknown Naomi Watts as "Jet Girl", yes, time to cue the lesbian subtext. They battled strange/off the wall other worldly creatures in a Mad Max like desert type universe.

The video starts with Lavigne declaring she is a MotherF#cking Princess and proceeds to see her battling bear sharks, knife wielding lobsters and a villain with a head like fly, check. Everything takes place in a Mad Max desert like setting, check. Also the MotherF#cking Princess locks lips with actress Danica McKellar, what would Winnie Cooper think?! Lesbian subtext, check.

Avril Battles the Bear Shark!

Oh and Billy Zane is thrown in for good measure. T.G.I.F! Check out this loopy video that I can't get enough of and enjoy your weekend!
