"Music for a future age

Don't be square be there
All good clean fun
Whatever that means

Antmusic for sexpeople
Sexmusic for antpeople
Get off your knees
And hear the insect prayer" - Don't Be Square, Be There, Adam and the Ants

Joan Collins knows good clean fun, whatever that means. Here she is between takes on the set of the 1977 movie Empire of the Ants making out with one of her co-stars...

The insect prayer indeed....

A Little Of The Old In-N-Out

Michael B Jordan & Oscar

It's National Cheeseburger Day and ironically I am going to imbibe in one after I screen a new music video by an artist I do PR for later. 

Thus I thought it fitting it be celebrated with my favorite burger in Southern CA, In-N-Out!

Behold Michael B Joran post his Oscar win for Best Actor in Sinners partaking one of their delicious burgers. 

Here's a little history. It’s tradition for actors to go to In-N-Out after the Oscars. Jamie Lee Curtis did it. Ang Lee did it. Vanity Fair actually serves In-N-Out at their Oscars party. Just to put the post Oscar meal in context.

Hey you don't have to win an Oscar to get cheesy today.

Go out and have a cheeseburger your way.

Yummy!!!

Woman Crush of the Week - Kathleen Turner who was nothing short of amazing in Peggy Sue Got Married. Fact: she did receive an Oscar nomination for Best Actress for her performance.

It ain't got a thing, if it ain't got that sling! Think about it, but not too much

Hump Day & Chill

Sarah Michelle Gellar & David Boreanaz
 At The Emmys

The Emmys, like every award show had it's highlights and it's downright cringe moments. 

Rather than accentuating the negative we are going to Hump Day & Chill to the positive. One of my favorite high points of the evening: Buffy & Angel reuniting, and it felt so good!!!

"Yes" I am a Buffy The Vampire Slayer stan and to celebrate the slayers 30th anniversary Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz reunited to present the Emmy for outstanding lead actor in a limited anthology series or movie. 

They joked about the shows premise, Buffy and Angels age difference. Took a swipe at the pilot for the new Buffy series which was announced and never picked up. They also acknowledged the loss of cast members of the beloved series over the last two years.

Nostalgia is indeed for geeks, of which I am one.

Hump Day & Chill!!!

With the resurfacing of Mitch McConnell and the shape of pretty much everything these days. Rose McGowan as Amy Blue in Greg Araki's awesome film The Doom Generation precisely sums up my Current Mood:

Frankenhooker

On October 13, Synapse Films will release director Frank Henenlotter’s Frankenhooker in separate 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray editions.  

Frankenhooker blends over-the-top horror, dark comedy, and gleefully twisted practical effects into one unforgettable genre mash-up. When grieving medical student Jeffrey Franken (James Lorinz, King of New York) turns to some highly unconventional methods to bring his fiancée Elizabeth (Patty Mullen, Doom Asylum & Penthouse Pet of the Year) back, things quickly spiral into a bizarre and bloody nightmare. Equal parts outrageous, hilarious, and gloriously unhinged, Frankenhooker remains a singular staple of ’90s cult cinema. 

The cast also includes Louise Lasser (Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman), Shirley Stoler (The
Honeymoon Killers), and John Zacherle (legendary TV horror host Zacherley). A few of the actresses who eventually provide limbs for the new Elizabeth include Lia Chang (Big Trouble in Little China), Charlotte Kemp (Playboy Playmate of the Month, December 1982), Jennifer Delora (Robot Holocaust), and Heather Hunter (AVN Hall of Fame). Co-writer and director Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case, Brain Damage) reimagines the Frankenstein story with his signature blend of twisted horror and dark comedy. 

The 4K Ultra HD edition of Frankenhooker features an all-new 2025 Dolby Vision 4K restoration, created from the archival uncut original 35mm vault materials. The Blu-ray edition marks the film’s return to Blu-ray, presenting the complete 85-minute uncut feature in its acclaimed new 2025 restoration. 

The special features include audio commentary with director Frank Henenlotter and make-up effects designer Gabe Bartalos; A Salad That Was Once Named Elizabeth - Patty Mullen featurette; A Stitch in Time: The Make-Up Effects of Frankenhooker - Gabe Bartalos
featurette; Turning Tricks: Jennifer Delora Remembers Frankenhooker; Jennifer Delora’s Frankenhooker Photo Scrapbook; and the theatrical trailer. 

“If you see one movie this year, it should be Frankenhooker.” — Actor Bill Murray
