Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves

On May 26, the blockbuster medieval adventure Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves arrives on 4K UHD. The legend of the English nobleman forced into outlaw life shines under the direction of Kevin Reynolds (Waterworld). The limited edition release features brand new 4K restorations of both the theatrical and extended cuts from the original negative by Arrow Films, hours of special features, and newly commissioned extras.


Robin of Locksley (Kevin Costner, The Untouchables) follows King Richard the Lionheart (Sean Connery, Goldfinger) on a crusade to the Holy Land, only to end up imprisoned in Jerusalem. After years behind bars, Robin escapes with the help of Azeem Edin Bashir Al Bakir (Morgan Freeman, The Shawshank Redemption) and returns to England. Things have gone bad in Robin’s absence. The evil Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman, Die Hard) rules as a tyrant, dreaming of wearing the crown. Alongside his vicious cousin Guy of Gisborne (Michael Wincott, The Crow), he steals from the poor and the defiant rich alike, including Robin’s father (Brian Blessed, Flash Gordon). The Sheriff also sets his sights on marrying Marian (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Scarface).

Special features include 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation of both cuts in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible); original uncompressed stereo and DTS-HD MA 5.1 surround audio; optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; an audio commentary with director Kevin Reynolds and actor Kevin Costner; an audio commentary with actors Morgan Freeman, Christian Slater, and others; a multi-part documentary featuring interviews with director of photography Douglas Milsome, editor Peter Boyle, and members of the creative team; an archival documentary hosted by Pierce Brosnan; archival 1991 interviews with Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Christian Slater, and Alan Rickman; Bryan Adams’ “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You” performance at Slane Castle, Ireland; music soundtrack cues; the theatrical trailer; TV spots, an image gallery; a collectors’ perfect-bound booklet; two double-sided fold-out posters; and six postcard-sized artcards.

"Relax, don't do it

When you want to go to itRelax, don't do itWhen you want to comeRelax, don't do itWhen you want to suck it, chew itRelax, don't do itWhen you want to comeWhen you want to come" - Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Relax

Everything can be a sign if you're crazy or horny enough, think about it, but not too much

Caught The Devil Wears Prada 2 this past weekend. IMO it's better than the first, it's a more fully realized movie

I crave souls, but tacos will do for now, that's all

Speaking of tacos, how was your Cinco de Mayo? I spent mine at the world famous El Coyote. Why is it world famous you might ask? It's where Sharon Tate last dined for starters.

When your birthstone is a crack rock, discuss...

The Met Gala was. 

My mantra while writing: Write. Revise, Scream a Little. Repeat. 

FYI you will survive but you will become someone else


Woman Crush of the Week - Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada 2, she gave us a more layered and complex Miranda Priestly this outing...resplendent! 

PS I had dirty thoughts about you. I hope you felt them.

When children are shot in their classrooms, all politicians can offer are thoughts and prayers. When a shooting happens near them, they demand a $350 million golden ballroom to protect themselves.

It's never too late for coconut pie, the more you know

RIP Pioneering mogul Ted Turner 

Yes, I'm going to the gym today

Hump Day & Chill

Strut!

Male Peacocks are natures technicolor, they add some pizazz to any landscape. Here is one I shot at Hollywood Forever Cemetery yesterday before yoga.

Thus we are going to Hump Day & Chill to the Male Peacock! As you know the female of the species are quite unglamourous and dowdy.

All hail the peacock! Resplendent!

Let's Get Paranormal

Did you know today happens to be National Paranormal Day?! Well now you do! 

While I'm sure the day is self explanatory here is the intel on it: 

"National Paranormal Day, celebrated annually on May 3rd, is an unofficial holiday dedicated to exploring the unexplained, including ghosts, UFOs, and psychic phenomena. It encourages believers and skeptics alike to share experiences, research supernatural tales, and consume media like movies, books, and documentaries focused on the unknown"

Who you gonna call today? Ghostbusters perhaps???

Witness For The Prosecution

Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Pssst! I heard the Trump administration has a star witness up their sleeve in the 8647 (ludicrous) case against James B Comey.

Why it's none other than Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

You'd better watch your back Comey...lol!
