Hump Day & Chill

BTS
Catherine Deneuve

"Nothing Human Loves Forever" - The Hunger

The Hunger starring Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie & Susan Sarandon is one of my favorite vampire movies ever. It's bloody, elegant, operatic and most of all sexy!

So today we are going to Hump Day & Chill to a BTS continuity shot of Catherine Deneuve as Miriam Blaylock in The Hunger.

Miriam Blaylock is the role that Ms. Deneuve was born to play. An ancient Egyptian vampire living in modern-day New York who feeds on the blood of her lovers, granting them centuries of life before they suddenly age and decay.

Hey, It's hard out there for a bloodsucker!

She grab some Sherry and put it in a fancy little glass (IYKYK) it's time to Hump Day & Chill hunger style!

Cocina Vino, Silverlake, CA

Some people will tell you I'm the nicest guy in the world. While others will tell you I'm a complete a$$hole. 

Believe them both. They got the version they deserved.

Think about it, but not too much.

Have a groovy Sunday Funday!

“We always dreamed that Stranger Things could be owned in its entirety,” said Matt and Ross Duffer, creators of the series, “not just as a collector’s set, but as a way to preserve the show for decades to come.” 

Created by The Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things debuted in 2016 and quickly became one of Netflix’s most popular series, with Seasons 1-4 amassing over 1.2 billion views. The fifth and final season premiered in 2025 with the biggest English-language premiere week, joining Season 4 on Netflix's Most Popular List. The final season also propelled Seasons 1–4 back into the Global Top 10 for a record eight weeks and delivered Netflix’s most-watched New Year’s Day. 

Dean Lawson, Arrow Films’ Director of Sales and Marketing, commented: “Working with the Netflix team and the Duffer Brothers to bring the definitive physical media release of Stranger Things to fans has been a phenomenal project for Arrow to be a part of. The show is colossal  in influence and scale, is beloved globally, has transcended generations, and has been a huge part of the cultural conversation for nearly 10 years now. We at Arrow are thrilled to play a part in bringing this landmark show to physical media and believe we’ve created a boxset that fans will be delighted to own, packed with bonus features, curios, and memorabilia from the world of Stranger Things.” 
 
Stranger Things: The Complete Series Synopsis 
When a young boy vanishes, a small town uncovers a mystery involving secret experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one strange little girl. 

A love letter to the ‘80s classic genre films that captivated a generation, Stranger Things is a
thrilling drama set in the seemingly normal Midwestern town of Hawkins, Indiana.    

After a boy vanishes into thin air, his close-knit group of friends and family search for answers and are pulled into a high-stakes and deadly series of events. Beneath the surface of their ordinary town lurks an extraordinary supernatural mystery, along with top-secret government experiments and a dangerous gateway that connects our world to a powerful yet sinister realm. Friendships will be tested and lives will be altered as what they discover will change Hawkins and possibly the world — forever.
