"Time for the old in-n-out" - Alex DeLarge, A Clockwork Orange

Oh yes Minions I thought we would give Hump Day & Chill it's literal due with some of the old "in-n-out" and I'm  not talking burgers either. 

While I can't really give you too many deets, what I can give you is Malcom McDowell dressed as his character from the Stanley Kubrick classic dressed as his character Alex DeLarge now and how he looked as Alex in the actual film.

Yeah, not quite as titillating, but...you get the picture,right??? 

I remember seeing A Clockwork Orange as a teenager and how riveted I was by it. Malcom McDowell is completely mesmerizing in it. It was an early masterpiece that had a huge impact on me (a lot of the 70s cinema did for that matter.)

According to a film buff friend of mine it plays an important part in my visual style and in my photo shoots as well. He claims I reference it that way a lot, something I never noticed until he pointed it out to me.

So there you have it get ready to Hump Day & Chill with some "old in-n-out" Hey, that's my plan...

Frank Booth 
aka
Dennis Hopper

"She wore blue velvet, Bluer than velvet was the night, Softer than satin was the light

From the stars"  - Blue Velvet, Bobby Vinton

"Let's F#ck! I'll f#ck anything that moves!" - Frank Booth, Blue Velvet 

Spotted this intense image of Dennis Hopper as Frank Booth straight outta the David Lynch classic Blue Velvet the other day and it brought back some, shall we say, interesting memories of seeing it when it first came out. I was in college in the Seattle area in case you were wondering.

I will tell you there had never been anything like it before, it caused a sensation in 1986. It seemed it was a love it/hate sort of proposition in terms of audience reaction. Critics on the other hand overall loved it.

One thing is also certain, you'd never seen anything like Dennis Hoper's portrayal of evil incarnate Frank Booth. He was one of the most disturbing and scary one man freak shows to ever grace the big screen.

Thus today we are going to have a Hump Day & Chill celebration of the late Dennis Hopper and the role he played that was a revelation of modern cinema, I'm going to find out where I can see Blue Velvet online TTFN and Hump Day & Chill Minions!!!

Kylie Jenner

While I have a mere passing interest in fashion, I do loosely keep tabs on certain designers that catch my eye. One of them is Jean Paul Gaultier, hey I like the really creative type of fashion, that's the way it goes.

Much to my shock & awe he has teamed up with Kylie Jenner of all people for his latest campaign.

Reading this sounds lunatic, but it turns out as you can see above amazingly inspired! A match made in fashion heaven where everything is half off.

Thus we are gonna Hump Day & Chill to this dynamic and inspired duo. Whoever thought of this deserves a really good paycheck.

Paging Kris Jenner...

Alyssa Sutherland
as
Ellie

"I'm free now from all you titty sucking parasite" - Ellie

Saw the Evil Dead Rise this past weekend and loved it! It was fun and the escape I needed from reality for a an hour and half. This was due in no small part to Alyssa Sutherland's expert turn as as Deadite mother of three Ellie.

Thus as I'm sure you have guessed by the above image taken behind the scenes of Evil Dead Rise we are going to give a big Hump Day & Chill cheers to Ms. Sutherland and her CAF (Creepy As F#ck) performance in the current hit movie.

Nobody does it better and turns on her children quite the way she does.

Mommy's with the maggots now...indeed!!!

Do You Have Any Grey Poupon?

Look it's Norman Bates with two female dancers from the Ziegfeld Follies perhaps?  Or maybe not...

Whatever the case this whimsical photo was clearly taken on set during the making of Psycho. I'm not quite sure what would inspire this shot while filming a movie along these lines but I'm quite sure there is an interesting back story which I plan to research once I have more time to do so.

This being stated whimsy is the tone of today's Hump Day & Chill and whimsy there shall be all day and night until the clock strikes twelve.

Ram a lam a ding dong Minions!

In Gwyneth We Trust

This week we have the definition of Hump Day & Chill in the house! One Ms. Gwyneth Paltrow during her trial regarding some ski accident somewhere. 

Honestly who cares about the details Gwyneth was cool as a cucumber and making no apologies for her white woman privilege as only she can.

Cards on the table? There are more than a few things that annoy me about Ms. Paltrow but this trial was one of her best performances evuh!!! She was everything and then some the most collected, calm rich white woman in the history of them! 

I'm glad she took the proceedings on with a bit of pomp and frivolity, because I certainly thought the case against her was ridiculous and should never have gone to trial.

Thus we crown Gwyneth Paltrow the this week's Queen of Hump Day & Chill. Until someone dethrones her get your hump on Minions!!!

Hump Day & Chill

Tonight if you're like me, you're gonna Hump Day & Chill and by watching the VPR drama unfold. According to Urban Legend they just finished taping the reunion. This legend is obviously true because Lala Kent was triggered (see the above meme.)

Based on her post traumatic reunion taping syndrome comment I'm guessing most of the cast will be taking a month off on a secluded tropical island somewhere.

In the meantime let's grab a glass and take a toast to Raquel's big reveal as a true villain, I called this one a long time ago.

She ain't no Bambi Minions!

Join me on the couch tonight for a VPR Hump Day & Chill...

Choose Your Warrior

With horror movies being a hot ticket at the box office, not to mention timeless, I thought it would be a scary good time to Hump Day & Chill to a gallery of horror villains and pick a favorite.

I don't care what you were taught as a kid growing up, but it's OK to play favorites in my world. Thus I will tell you mine.

Here goes, although I love the Scream franchise, Ghostface is always someone different, so the icon isn't really a true villain, more like a personae.

I also like most of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, but Freddy is not frightening enough for me. But he is a whole lotta fun!

Jason has never been frightening to me but I have enjoyed a Friday The 13th outing on occasion, mainly the first and second one. The rest...

My fave? Michael Myers, he is the only one who ever truly terrified me, recently not so much. But the original 1978 Halloween left me freaked out that his white face would suddenly appear in the dark and he'd start coming for me.

So it's time to Hump Day & Chill by picking a villain whose team you want to join...do it and do it now Minions!!!

Knife Drop!

Grace Jones

"I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you, Now i'm right on time, I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you, I feel right on time" - Grace Jones, I'm Not Perfect

"Yes" Minions we are gonna Hump Day & Chill to Auntie Grace Jones song I'm Not Perfect. This has been something I've been ruminating on of late. Life isn't perfect it's up to you to find your own bliss and not live by what is basically the perfect illusions you are given your whole life. 

"Just Let Go" of all of it find out who you are and what works for you. Because what makes you happy may not be conventional, but it doesn't have to be. 

Now without further hyperbole let's Hump Day & Chill to the amazing Grace Jones and I'm not perfect after the jump!!!

Infamous
Janet Leigh

With the Oscars coming up this Sunday and everyone buzzing about Jamie Lee Curtis being nominated in the same category as her late Mom Janet Leigh (Best Supporting Actress for those not in the know) - well I couldn't help but think we all needed a collective Hump Day & Chill to Janet in her Oscar nominated, iconic role of Marion Crane in Alfred Hitchcock's classic Psycho!!!

Even though Janet lost to Shirley Jones in Elmer Gantry, she actually won. Seriously think about it. No one really remembers Elmer Gantry or Jones' win, but everyone still talks about Psycho and the infamous shower scene to this day.

"Yes" Minions Janet Leigh is gangsta! 

So I'm going to break out my copy of Psycho and Hump Day & Chill to this masterpiece of filmmaking, join me???

Hump Day & Chill

Hola Minions, do I have the perfect Hump Day & Chill recommend. Yesterday I watched the Netflix documentary Pamela, A Love Story about icon Pamela Anderson. 

The tagline sums the it all up perfectly: She defined a decade. Now she will define herself.

I have interviewed and hung out with Pamela and this is my takeaway from it:

"This documentary is so Pam, she is a lovely person with no pretense. Really nice."

Seriously you should watch it, you will come away with my take on her. I remember telling people how great she was and them giving me a perplexed look. Then one day I was at a party and an acquaintance of mine had guest starred on her sitcom Stacked and mentioned how awesome she is. We swapped Pam stories and he said everyone always looks at him puzzled as well when he speaks fondly of her as well. It was nice to meet someone who knows and understands.

Well, what are you waiting for?! You have a documentary to Hump Day & Chill too!!!

No Longer Mythical
Jamie Lee Curtis

Well here's something to Hump Day & Chill to, Jamie Lee Curtis as a Unicorn. Actually she may have thought her ever getting an Oscar Nomination was the equivalent of he mythical creature. But after all these years (and a few nomination worthy performances prior) Jamie Lee finally got herself an Oscar Nom in the Supporting Actress Category for Everything Everywhere All At Once!!!

Thus we are going to celebrate by having a Hump Day & Chill to this most excellent news.

Fingers crossed that she could possibly take home the gold dude, but the odds seem to favor Angela Bassett. 

It's an honor just to be nominated, right??? Yeah, right...

Team Jamie Lee!!!
