I Can Be Anything I Want

"Back to nature, it's human nature

Getting on back to

I think I'm done with the sofa
I think I'm done with the hall
I think I'm done with the kitchen table, baby

Let's go outside (let's go outside)
In the sunshine" - Outside, George Michael 

Stop hiding your magic! Happy Pride Month!!!

The amount of beautiful things in your life depends on your ability to notice them

You've heard of Panic At The Disco, wait till you hear Crying At The Orgy, discuss

If you think I'm mean...wait until I don't like you, the more you know

Had lunch on the patio of Marix in West Hollywood, CA yesterday, resplendent 

A computer can never be spiteful or horny. Therefore a computer must never make art, that's all

The Invite looks quite intriguing, looking forward to seeing it tomorrow

Why would Satan torture people in Hell for disobeying the same God he disobeyed? Think about it, but not too much

Woman Crush of the Week - The incomparable out queer icon Cynthia Erivo, nobody does it like her!

After getting what you manifested, ask for discipline to keep it and wisdom to multiply it

MAGA = Make Algae Great Again

Ready for another week of crippling anxiety and a nice ass???

Inflation has gotten so bad it takes two Karens  to speak to the manager, there's that

Madonna & Connor Storrie

Madonna + Connor Storrie + Paris Fashion Week = Pride Month. "Yes" I stated Pride Month, honestly what could scream it more than a gay icon and the star of Heated Rivalry at the Saint Laurent fashion show in Paris during Fashion Week??? I ask you? I'm waiting!

Thus we are going to Hump Day & Chill to the last Wednesday of Pride Month in style. 

"Ladies with an attitude, fellas that were in the mood, Don't just stand there, let's get to it, Strike a pose, there's nothing to it" - Vogue, Madonna 

Show your Pride - Hump Day & Chill!!!

Tell Me Why I Don't Like Mondays...

Adrienne Barbeau & Friend
"The Crate"

Hello Monday...

The look on Adrienne Barbeau's face in the segment "The Crate" from Creepshow a horror anthology Directed by George A Romero circa 1982 illustrates how most people feel about today, Monday.

On a personal note Mondays really don't hold any particular weight with me as a day of the week. But for those of you it does I get why.

Here's what "The Crate" is about: 

The Crate: Based on another Stephen King story, this fan-favorite segment follows a timid college professor (Fritz Weaver) who discovers a ravenous, ancient monster trapped inside an old crate beneath the university stairs and uses it to deal with his demanding, abusive wife (Adrienne Barbeau). 

Have a great week and be weary of any crates you might come across...

"Some Like It Hot"

Here's a meme of Marilyn Monroe with matching dialogue straight outta one of my favorite films of all time Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot.

On top of being quite funny Some Like It Hot is also very subversive. Marilyn steals the movie as Sugar Kane a singer and ukulele player in an all girl band.

What could be better than classic Marilyn Monroe on a Saturday? I ask you? I'm waiting...

"Soylent Green"

On July 28, the dystopian science fiction masterpiece Soylent Green makes its global debut on 4K UHD.

The greenhouse effect has ravaged Earth’s climate, leaving the world eternally hot and crops unable to grow in the year 2022. People survive on Soylent Green crackers manufactured from plankton, while a population explosion has crammed 40 million people into New York City. The poor and downtrodden sleep on staircases and in basements, while the wealthy live in luxury apartments and eat real food, including beef. NYPD Homicide Detective Robert Thorn (Charlton Heston, Planet of the Apes) investigates the murder of a rich man in a secure skyscraper. Police researcher Solomon Roth (Edward G. Robinson, Little Caesar) picks through the clues to uncover a motive for the killing. The cast also includes Leigh Taylor-Young (Jagged Edge), Chuck Connors (Old Yeller), Joseph Cotten (Citizen Kane), and Brock Peters (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home).

Special features include a 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible); original lossless mono audio; optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; an archive audio commentary with director Richard Fleischer and star Leigh Taylor-Young; a brand new audio commentary; archive on-stage interviews with Charlton Heston and Richard Fleischer at the BFI; A Look at the World of Soylent Green; MGM's Tribute to Edward G.
