Fall Equinox

Peel Back The Layers
Michael Shinafelt

Well it happened today. We all collectively woke up and Bam! it was Fall just like that. Where did this year go, I ask you? I know you don't have an answer, and honestly I don' either.

All I know is I spent this year basically out of commission because of of a surgical procedure I had to have done and the adventure will finally be over in the next two weeks. Thus I am ready for a change of pace, that just so happens to coincide with the change of season 😘

Fall has always been my favorite time of the year, there is something comfortable, yet transformative to me about it. Having been laid up for ten weeks this is going to be one Hell of an interesting Equinox for me. "Yes" I have had a lot of time to reflect and redirect. 

What does it all mean? I know what it means, but I'm not going to spill, not yet anyway. Just know, you'll find out...

Michael has left the building, for now.

Saturday Sinema - Hellbound: Hallraiser II

Feel the burn... 🔥🔥🔥  

Picking up right where Hellraiser left off, Hellbound: Hellraiser II expands upon the terrifying universe created in Clive Barker's original film - taking the story into the very depths of Hell itself. Having escaped the clutches of Pinhead and the demonic Cenobites, Kirsty Cotton (Ashley Laurence) awakens to finds herself detained at the Channard Institute, a hospital for the mentally ill. But her torments are far from over - the chief doctor at the institute is determined to unleash the powers of Hell to achieve his own twisted ends. Hellbound: Hellraiser II is one of the most celebrated horror sequels of all time, offering a vision that is both more gruesome and fantastical than its predecessor.

Kerry On

My Idea Of Washington
Kerry Washington

This has been one Hell of a week and it's only Wednesday. I mean that in many ways, some good and some not so much. 

While I try to monitor my alternative fact intake as much as possible some things are simply too hard to turn a blind eye to. Thus Washington is in the forefront of my mind's eye at present.

That being said you can see why I easily have substituted a positive version of it, of the Kerry kind today. Hey it's not that big of a stretch. Not only does she have the same last name as our nation's capital she also works at the White House on her too entertaining for words TV show Scandal.

As Olivia Pope she controls that house of cards and then some. 

Visualization is the name of today's game peeps. Enjoy life and Kerry On...trust me. Why? Because I'm not a politician.

Ocean's 8, America 0

3 + 5 = 8
Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett & Rihanna

First let me say I never knew I lived in such a country that would elect someone like Donald Trump as President of the United States of America. I thought I might wake up this morning only to find it was like that one season of Dallas that turned out to be a dream. No such luck.

Honestly at this moment in my personal history I am numb. Rather than continue ruminating about my extreme disappointment and shame for the country I live in and those who just sent it into some kind of fresh hell, I will try to deflect my icky feelings a little by posting this image of Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett & Rihanna filming Ocean's 8 in New York's Central Park.

They look like they are having a blast! Their smiles are infectious, may they serve as a reminder that we still have the power to be kind to one another. We are all really going to need it these next four years.

Cheers!

Chaos Thy Name Is GG Allin

Hold on tight, it's going to be a bumpy read! The critically acclaimed book goes digital... GG's letters, illustrations, prose, and his own personal account of prison

  "If there's a bestseller list in Hell, be prepared to see this tome crawl its way to the top."

- Marc Campbell, DANGEROUS MINDS 

In 2013, Aggronautix published GG Allin "My Prison Walls", a limited edition hard cover collector's book wrapped in black saifu cloth and decorated / titled in red foil blood stamping. Each book was individually numbered and shrink-wrapped for protection and preservation. After the 2500 copies have been sold through, the book will not be re-printed. (According to Aggronautix there are still some available, but not many) Now, "My Prison Walls" is available for Kindle (at the reasonable price - $5.99) opening the door for legions of fans to explore GG's prison era memoirs without the $60 SRP. The 208 page book contains letters, illustrations, prose, and GG's own personal accounts of his time spent in prison.  The book begins with "30 Days In The Hole" from GG's journal, in his own handwriting, detailing his first days in lock up. This comprises the first 50 pages of the book and gives the reader a first-hand account of his mindset at the time. In addition, there are over 40 pieces of art and prose by Allin, plus correspondence with his family members, convicted serial killer John Wayne Gacy, Jeff Clayton of ANTiSEEN, and many others.

Pimping Disney? Ariana Grande

Paid Shill, or Bad Hairstyle Choice?
Ariana Grands

Is Ariana Grande on the Disney payroll?! That can be the only explanation for her questionable hairstyle. "Yes" in the tradition of the repellent man bun trend, Ariana is sporting mini bobs. Which, depending on your perspective either look like Minnie Mouse ears or an ode to Princess Leia from Star Wars.

Both interpretations prove there may be a conspiracy going on and Disney is paying her to wear them since Minnie and Star Wars are both property of the House of Mouse.

Ariana Grande undercover Disney Pimp, think about it...why the Hell else would her boyfriend Ricky Alvarez be seen in public with her looking this goofy?

The truth is out there, really it is.

Who You Gonna Call?

Wonder if They Will Get Slimed?!

T.G.I.F! Here is the cast of the new Ghostbusters in uniform. Pretty standard as were the ones in the original.

The new all female cast, in case you didn't know already includes: Melissa McCarthy, Kristin Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon.

OK, is there anyone out there who feels this film like so much else in Hollywood is an unnecessary reboot, remake, or however the Hell you want to refer to it?

Honestly the only thing that would compel me to see this are McCarthy and Wiig and some bomb ass reviews to go along with it.

But, hey it's the weekend and I'm a giver and thought people, like myself would be curious to see the gang together and ready to bust some ghost ass!

Yep, it's all about fun!

No Gaga For This Lady

Lady Gaga Ain't Pregnant

"I'm getting a little older and many people think I'm pregnant but I tell them, 'I'm just almost f--king 30,'" Lady Gaga, 29, told the audience at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles Sunday during her Cheek to Cheek concert with Tony Bennett.

Has she thought about Taylor Kinney knocking her up? Hell to the yes.

But will she in the future? Most likely, but not now.

Case closed. Keep creating Ms. Thang - you'll know when to put a bun in that oven.

Meantime, can't wait to see you in American Horror Story: Hotel!

Enjoy!

Cheers To Kelly Clarkson!

Kelly Clarkson: Where's The Wine?

Kelly Clarkson has always been the subject of ridicule about her weight. Even when she was on American Idol. 

Weight is such a boring subject and if it does not bother Ms. Clarkson why the Hell should it bother you? 

The Kelly bomb appeared on Ellen and got a resounding cheer from DeGeneres and the crowd, and didn't apologize about her gorgeous, curvaceous figure for one second. "I yo-yo," she said, "Sometimes I'm more fit and I get into kickboxing hardcore, and then sometimes I don't and go, 'Nope, I'd rather have wine!'"

Hooray Kelly, when in doubt wine should always win!

T.G.I.F! Have a toast with Kelly at:

Pee Wee Herman "Bowtie is the New Black"

Need I Say More?

I'm so excited, and, no, I'm not going to hide it...so there! This ayem while checking out the news, entertainment and otherwise I found this awesome item via Vulture online:

"The news has been rumored for a while, but now it's confirmed: Judd Apatow's long-gestating Pee-wee Herman movie is headed to Netflix, the streaming giant announced today. Pee-wee's Big Holiday will tell the story of how "a fateful meeting with a mysterious stranger inspires Pee-wee Herman to take his first-ever holiday." It's being produced by Judd Apatow and Paul Reubens, written by Reubens and Paul Rust and directed by first-timer John Lee (Broad City). "Bowtie is the new black," said "Pee-wee" in a statement. He's on-brand already!"

Oh Hell to the yes! Pee Wees Big Adventure is one of my favorite films, I remember seeing it my freshman year of college. It was directed by first time and then unknown Tim Burton and it was pure genius! 

Years later I sat next to him opening night of my friend E.G. Daily's one woman show Listen Closely, remember her as his girlfriend Dottie in his big adventure? That was so cool! 

The pairing of he and Judd Apatow is genius....I'm pulling for you Pee Wee!

PS - Please put E.G. in it too.

Alan Cumming: Rock Out With Your 50 Year Old C#ck Out!

Alan Cumming: Hell Yeah! I Am 50!

Alan Cumming rocked out with his cock out for his 50th Birthday celebration at Studio 54, wearing only a red Speedo, oh my!

The Good Wife star, jammed on his Instagram with the pic saying: "This is what fifty looks like!" 

The B-day boy looked awfully happy perched on the shoulders of a male pal in the barely there outfit. While surrounded by friends & acquaintances boogieing under a disco ball how appropriate.

Happy 50th Alan, you go guy!

AHS: Life On Mars

Hello, I'm The Gates Of Hell

OK, American Horror Story: Freak Show has officially premiered, and it confirms the David Bowie song Jessica Lange belts out under the big top: Yes, Virginia, there is Life On Mars.

Rather than re-cap something that you can, and or, already have seen. Why don't I tease you with some non-spoiler items of what wicked things are to come.

Twisty the Clown Lives Up To His Name: "Twisty" you know the homicidal clown who's running around getting his kicks killing people? This week you'll get to see his real face and apparently it is even more gruesome than the mouth mask, that must be one disgusting mug!

A Creature With a Foot Penis Is Cumming: No need to extrapolate.

The Most Bizarre Love Triangle Ever Is on the Way: Siamese Twins Bette and Dot Tattler, played by Sarah Paulson do not have the same feelings for Jimmy "Lobster Boy" Darling, played by Evan Peters. Since Bette and Dot both share the same reproductive organ, that should prove interesting.

 I Spy A Two-Faced Man: Episodes three and four are the Halloween episodes and they are all about the legend of Edward Mordrake (played by Wes Bentley). "He supposedly was born with a face on the back of his head and the face on the back of his head would whisper things," Says American Horror Story Producer & Creator Ryan Murphy. "Carneys usually took Halloween off because they believed if they didn't, their music would summon Mordrake and he would take one of them to hell." Sounds like an awesome vacation, hey Edward, take me!
