If you ever find yourself mad at someone. Put on a cape and be super mad!

FYI Jesus doesn't listen to prayers he listens to jazz, the more you know 

Saw The Invite L-O-V-E-D it!!!

Had lunch with a friend at El Coyote yesterday. "Yes" I experienced the divine

I talked too much not it's time to disappear and be mysterious again

"Bit#h I'm Gagging" - That's all

Bananas in pajamas, discuss...

Sometimes I think to myself: What would Miss Piggy do???

Woman Crush of the Week - Olivia Wilde she did an ace job directing The Invite. I loved every delicious minute of it!

Less toxic masculinity and more Toxic by Britney Spears, indeed

PS What doesn't kill you, still tried to kill you, think about it, but not too much

Now matter what day or time it is there is always a Law & Order: SVU marathon on somewhere

Imagine denying children free school lunch while making them read about Jesus multiplying loaves to feed all?

This is the day...laundry day, and aren't you happy?!

Hump Day & Chill

The Heat Is On
Michael Shinafelt

Hello July...

It's July, officially the hottest month of the Summer, literally. After living the many years I have in Los Angeles, CA it's always been anywhere from 90 - 100 degrees during various parts of it.

So I'm going to dedicate this weeks Hump Day & Chill to the whole month of July. If any month needs it, this is the one.

Instead of an adult beverage might I suggest something hydrating? We're going to need a bigger glass.

Hump Day & Chill!

Pride Month!

Madonna

Today is the last day of Pride Month let us end it on a high note, so to speak with the one the only Madonna!

The Queen of Pop dropped this iconic line during an interview with Graham Norton. Kylie Minogue was along for the ride as well.

"Maybe We're All Gay"

Needless to say it quickly became a viral meme.

Some food for thought as we usher out the month of Pride.

A friendly reminder the month may be over but Pride is all year long.

Served Cold

Gillian Anderson & Hannah Einbinder

They say revenge is a dish served cold...at least the signage states that things are frosty in this image. Well it looks to me like there is no revenge happening in this photo and it's anything but cold, in fact it's smoking hot!!!

The hot twosome here is one Gillian Anderson and one Hannah Einbinder in a publicity photo for their upcoming sapphic horror yarn Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma directed by indie darling Jane Schoenbrun. The tale was a huge hit at the Cannes Film Festival and hits theaters August 7th.

I'm really excited to see this one and can't wait! In the meantime we'll have to make do with being teased by these sexy photos of the two leads

Sigh...

Good Omen

Damien Thorn
"The Omen"

It's Sunday Funday so let's turn a negative into a positive, shall we? We shall!

"Yes" this is Damien Thorn the Devil Child from the 1976 movie The Omen.

"If you are seeing this, the curse has been lifted"

So be it, indeed...

"Falling Down"

On July 21, Falling Down, a transgressive travelog through post-riots Los Angeles, makes its global debut on 4K UHD. Director Joel Schumacher creates a compelling portrait of an everyday man feeling obsolete in the modern city. The Limited Edition release features a brand new 4K restoration by Arrow Films approved by cinematographer Andrzej Bartkowiak, hours of special features and newly commissioned extras. A Blu-ray edition will also be available.

A frustrated William Foster (Michael Douglas, Fatal Attraction) abandons his car during a morning traffic jam and begins walking toward home, only for the city around him to turn his commute into a volatile odyssey. Along the way, Williams gets more and more angry at a city that’s changing into something that he doesn’t recognize. As Foster’s encounters become increasingly dangerous, LAPD Sergeant Martin Prendergast (Robert Duvall, The Godfather) heads out to arrest him instead of taking it easy on his last day before retirement. Prendergast soon learns why Foster cannot be allowed to make it home. The cast includes Barbara Hershey (Insidious), Rachel Ticotin (Total Recall), Tuesday Weld (Once Upon A Time In America), Frederic Forrest (Apocalypse Now), and Michael Paul Chan (Goonies).

Special features include a 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible); newly restored original lossless stereo 2.0 and DTS-HD MA 4.0 surround audio; optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; an archival audio commentary by director Joel Schumacher, editor Paul Hirsch, actor Michael Douglas and others; a brand new interview with screenwriter Ebbe Roe Smith; a brand new interview with composer James Newton Howard; revisiting the real-life Los Angeles sites used in Falling Down; an archival interview with Michael Douglas; the original trailer; an image gallery; and a collectors’ booklet.
