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.

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

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.

"Don't come closer

Saw Mother Mary last Friday, loved it! It got under my skin and into my psyche, I can't stop thinking about it.

That's so moral majority, think about it, but not too much

Hump Day & Chill

Being Chill
Madonna & Sabrina Carpenter

Even though it wasn't Hump Day, it was Friday April 17th 2026 to be exact. Here are Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter being Chill backstage at Coachella where they performed together.

They also debuted their collab on the single Bring Your Love which drops tomorrow.

It's a good song and I'm sure it's going to be a huge hit for the Queen Of Pop and her Mini Me.

Personally I can't think of anything more sublime to Hump Day & Chill to, right!

Now get up and shake your booty!

Pay It Forward

Pay It Forward: is an expression for describing the beneficiary of a good deed repaying the kindness to others rather than paying it back to the original benefactor. It is also called serial reciprocity.

The world needs more kindness and good deeds these days. So let's follow the example of Cookie Monster and "Pay It Forward."

While you may not have a cookie to give someone I'm sure you have something you can share, or do for another person that will make their day.

So let's bend it like Cookie Monster, shall we??? 

We Shall!!!

Booty Call

Sharon Stone

Instead of having a Kiki let's have a Booty Call, shall we??? We shall!!!

This Booty Call is brought to you by none other than the iconic Sharon Stone...

Leave it to this trailblazer to add her own special twist to it by spelling it "Bootie" in lieu of the usual "Booty"

I'm not sure there is much more I can extrapolate on this subject matter because we all know what the term means.

Get out and get yourself some!

RECENT STUDIO LP NOW AND THE FUTURE AND "THREE AGAINST ME" VIDEO

WATCH: “Three Against Me” (Official Video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMZk7WhK0PU

Horace Pinker have also unveiled the official video for “Three Against Me,” a standout track from their latest full-length Now and the Future, out now via People of Punk Rock Records.

Built on driving guitars, airtight rhythms, and lyrics that balance defiance with reflection, “Three Against Me” captures the essence of a band that continues to evolve without losing its core identity. The video delivers a raw, unfiltered snapshot of Horace Pinker’s signature intensity and onstage energy.

Now and the Future marks the band’s first full-length since 2011’s Local State Inertia—a return that finds them revitalized, focused, and as melodic and ferocious as ever.

“Horace Pinker returns with Now and the Future, our first full-length since 2011,” the band shares. “Driven by punchy rhythms, sharp melodies, and our signature energy, the record reflects how we continue to evolve while staying true to our punk roots.”

Recorded at Bombshelter Recording Studio in Chicago with producer/engineer Dan Precision (Rise Against, 88 Fingers Louie), the album highlights the chemistry between Scott Eastman (guitar/vocals), Bryan Jones (drums), and Greg Mytych (bass/vocals). From the adrenaline rush of “Three Against Me” to the melodic hardcore punch of “Call It a Day,” the LP reinforces the band’s decades-long commitment to urgency, honesty, and craft.

The album features cover art by JP Flexner (Beach Slang), further underscoring its balance of grit, melody, and emotional weight. Confident and uncompromising, Now and the Future captures everything that has kept Horace Pinker a global touring force for more than three decades.

This Used To Be My Playground...

Geena Davis & Madonna

It took 34 years, but Mae Mordabito (Madonna) and Dottie Hinson (Geena Davis) who played baseball for the Rockford Peaches in A League Of Their Own reunited at Coachella.

They each participated in weekend two of Sabrina Carpenters headlining show. Madonna performed with Sabrina and Geena played an adult version of her.

Geena took to Instagram and posted the photo with this caption: "Mae - so happy to see you again! Love, Dottie"

"Yes" I saw A League Of Their Own in theaters, and "Yes" I enjoy the movie and being that it was a big hit the nostalgia factor for those who were there is strong with this reunion, IYKYK.

TGIF!

"This used to be my playground
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to

Michael's Musings

"You've Just Crossed Over Into...The Twilight Zone"
Michael Shinafelt

"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call "The Twilight Zone" - Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone

Your clothes are making me uncomfortable. Please take them off.

Just looking for love. And a million dollars. Maybe a taco. And some tequila. The more you know...

Seeing Madonna and Geena Davis reunite at Coachella is in a league of it's own

One fan theory I hope is true about this season of Euphoria is that Jules Sugar Daddy is Nate and that is why he is having money problems. 

Evolve or Die, that's all

Hey, call me when you resurrect. I'm waiting.

Hump Day & Chill

Elvis Presley & Ann-Margret

Question Of The Day: What do you get when you combine a music icon, in this case Elvis Presley and a Hollywood sex kitten, the one and only Ann-Margret?

If your answer was Viva Las Vegas, well you are not entirely wrong. The more definitive answer would be: Hump Day & Chill, naturally!

This is a photo of the twosome straight outta the movie Viva Las Vegas that they did together.

My buddy Jay Jacobson has the perfect description of it on his classic movie blog: 

"You know those days when the weather is perfect, the sun is shining, and for the moment, you don’t have a care in the world? This week’s film, “Viva Las Vegas”, is the cinematic equivalent" - Jay Jacobson

So kick back and Hump Day & Chill with Elvis and Ann, indeed...

In Case Of Emergency...

Erika Jayne

What does one do "In Case Of Emergency" well my go to is the use of sarcasm. Seen delivered above by the Queen of it on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Erika Jayne.

If someone tries to take you down verbally, give them the gift that keeps on giving and take what they said stated to you and weaponize it against them.

Works like a charm every time and you don't even need to raise your voice.

There's your pro-tip for the day and aren't you happy?!

"I Feel So Free"

The Queen of Pop Madonna is back! Not that she never really went anywhere, she just took a detour IMHO for a bit.

She made a splash at Coachella with her partner in crime Sabrina Carpenter where they debuted the song they did together. Then turned around and dropped this banger of a track "I Feel So Free" straight outta her Confessions 2 album dropping July 3rd!!!

"I Feel So Free" puts Madonna back where she belongs making us dance while making a statement. 

Madonna's dance/pop music has always been politic in case you haven't ever noticed. 

Glad to have you back on your throne all hail the Queen!!! 

"Honestly, I wish I could be like other people
And just not care
But out here
On the dance floor
I feel so free" Madonna, I Feel So Free

Hit the song after the jump!
