Experience It

Gillian Anderson & Hannah Einbinder

This past August say the release of one of the best films of the year Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma starring two of my favorites Gillian Anderson and Hannah Einbinder. 

Here's what Rotten Tomatoes says about it: "A bloody valentine to slasher horror that celebrates personal self-discovery as much as it does the possibilities of cinema, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma combines killer style with a big, still-beating heart."

The dialogue in the above meme really captures the soul of the film, it's also resonating with me today Saturday November 14, 2026.

What does it mean you might ask? Refer to the "self-discovery" part of the RT assessment of this one of a kind movie experience.

That's all...

Beware! TGIF!

When Jason Met Michael
Jason Vorhees & Michael Shinafelt

Friday the 13th is a doubled edged sword. On the one hand it's Friday, Yay! On the other it's a day of bad luck and even worse karma. 

It can also be a day of levity. Here I am with the one and only Jason Vorhees on the Roof Top of The Montalban Theatre in Hollywood, CA where I attended a screening of the one that started it all the 1980 slasher flick Friday the 13th.

"Yes" I know Mrs. Vorhees was the killer in the original. But she's never come back after her beheading. Jason as you know always comes back!!!

Happy Friday the 13th Minions!

Michael's Musings

"Sometimes I think I can see right through myself"
Michael Shinafelt

"Now I am somewhere I am not supposed to be

And I can see things I know I really shouldn't see
And now I know why, now, now, now I know why
Things aren't as pretty
On the inside

There is no you
There is only me" - Only, Nine Inch Nails

I know I'm late to the party, but I finally watched Call Me By Your Name, you know the notorious gay love story starring Timothee Chalamet & Armie Hammer. A solid piece of filmmaking with great chemistry between the boys. I recommend it.

Hump Day & Chill

Tina Turner
as
The Acid Queen

With all the buzz surrounding the restored, uncensored, director's cut of Ken Russell's The Devils, which I loved for the record. I have been thinking of his other works of which there are many. In case you didn't know I am a Ken Russell stan. 

Another vision of his that pops for me is his film version of The Who's musical Tommy. 

Especially the nightmare inducing scene involving Tommy (who is blind, deaf and dumb) played by Roger Daltrey and The Acid Queen played to perfection by Tina Turner.

Thus we are going to Hump Day & Chill to the one and only Tina Turner as The Acid Queen

If you haven't seen Tommy yet and are curious about Ken Russell's other works I highly recommend it. Like The Devils it's truly a unique one of a kind experience.

Be warned though, it also like The Devils is not for the timid. The Acid Queen scene in particular.

"If your child ain't all he should be now
This girl could put him right" - The Acid Queen

Indeed...Hump Day & Chill Minions!

Shine Bright Like A Diamond

Neely O'Hara 
Valley of the Dolls

Hey pretty people. Time to wake up and sparkle. 

Currently my head space is here, it feels like a time to sparkle for myself and hopefully some of you are on the same frequency. If not, why not???

Everyone has their own sparkle to bestow upon the rest of the world, so why not you?

While we can't all be Neely O'Hara (Patty Duke) from Valley of the Dolls (honestly who would want to be her) we can be our own version of this.

Sparkle Minions, sparkle!
