"Soylent Green"

On July 28, the dystopian science fiction masterpiece Soylent Green makes its global debut on 4K UHD. Director Richard Fleischer (Fantastic Voyage) creates a police thriller set within a desolate future where humanity is bursting at the seams. The Limited Edition release features a brand new 4K restoration from the original 35mm camera negative by Arrow Films, hours of special features and newly commissioned extras. A Blu-ray edition will also be available.

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. Robinson's 101st Film; the theatrical trailer; image galleries; and a collectors' booklet.

Michael's Musings

"Nasty, Nasty Boys, Don't Ever Change"
Michael Shinafelt

"Hey! Who's that thinkin' nasty thoughts? Nasty boys!

Sit in rooms where people talk about dreams, not other people

Went for an In -N- Out burger yesterday in Hollywood, the more you know

OK, so imagine we are arguing and I throw a cockroach in your face

BTW if Trump gets any more incoherent, the right wing evangelicals will claim he's speaking in tongues, there's that

Can I call you galaxy without the LAX, think about it, but not too much

Woman Crush of the Week - Charlie XCX saw her film The Moment and now she has a new fan!

Stopped by Hustler Hollywood yesterday on the Blvd IYKYK

Hump Day & Chill

Joan Rivers

Pssst! In case you aren't in the loop June is Pride Month and what better way to celebrate it than a Hump Day & Chill with the late, great Joan Rivers

Joan is seen here celebrating Pride at the Sydney, AU Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras in 2009. She loved and was beloved by the community.

During these challenging times I really miss Ms. Rivers. Her razor sharp wit and pointed humor is something that would be a welcome respite, right here, right now.

Thus let's Hump Day & Chill in memory of Joan Rivers today.

Happy Pride Month!

You Seem Pretty Sad...

Hollywood, CA

Here is a photo I shot of a mural promoting Olivia Rodrigo's latest album "You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love" in Hollywood, CA

So are you enjoying her latest? I know I am. 

Olivia is officially the most bad ass Gen Z artist out there to me because of her duet with Robert Smith of The Cure "What's Wrong With Me."

"Went to the doctor and she said I was fine

But every movie that I see makes me cry
It's like somebody put a weight on my chest
I should talk to a friend
But I can't get out of bed
My head is spinning and my stomach is sick
Say I'm in love, so it's hard to admit
I can't eat, I can't sleep
I think you're what's wrong with me" 

Mic Drop!!!

Walking In LA...

Saw this while walking to my local 7-11 in front of DeSano Pizzeria in my hood. The juxtaposition is what caught my attention.

Let's face it, one of these things is not like the other. DeSano Pizza isn't trash at all, it's delicious!

How this ended up in front of the Pizzeria is beyond me, so I simply accepted it and moved on. 

Carry on, as you were...

Thought Of The Day

What? Me Worry???
Michael Shinafelt

When I came across this while surfing, the Internet not waves. I thought this is it! This is my thought for today, and every day.

One of my new mantras as it were. Oh, what is it? Glad you asked:

"Worry Is A Misuse Of Imagination" 

Think about it, but not too much...

Mic Drop!
