Hump Day & Chill

Margot Robbie & Jacob Elordi

 “He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”

― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

In case you haven't heard there's a new version of Wuthering Heights hitting theaters February 13th. Not so coincidentally in time for Valentine's Day.

It stars Margot Robbie & Jacob Elordi, and is written and directed by Emerald Fennell. She's the filmmaker responsible for one of my favorite films Saltburn.

Thus here we have Margot & Jacob hitting the road to promote their joint venture in a sporty convertible.

Hey, it doesn't get anymore Hump Day & Chill than this! 

Let's say it's Hump Day & Chill at it's coolest, that's all.

Hump Day & Chill

Barbie & Ken
Margot Robbie & Ryan Gosling

As the Barbie Movie train is roaring full steam ahead into it's opening weekend and I've made no secret about my desire to see it. Well guess what Minions?! It's more Hump Day & Chill Barbie Movie fun!

"Yes" I have already purchased my ticket for the 1:20 showing at Alamo Drafthouse in downtown Los Angeles. Can't wait to kick back imbibe a margarita and let the good times roll.

This image is giving me Barbie and Ken life! Barbie looks sad to be arrested whilst Ken, seems to think it is a lark of some sort.

Advanced word is the movie is a great and no one seeing it will be disappointed in the least.

Thus you are getting one last Hump Day & Chill to the Barbie Movie before it officially opens. However if I end up loving it as much as I think I will, well now..."Yes" there will be more where that came from!!!

PS I wish Ryan Gosling was my personal Ken Doll!

April Fool's Day

While the impact of April Fool's Day has been considerably lessened by the Internet I still like to, as many still do acknowledge it. Hey, traditions die hard...

So here I go with a symbolic gesture, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn.

I'm assuming no more needs to be said on this? Yeah, I thought not...

Standing Tall
Margot Robbie
as
Barbie!!!

OK, I admit the ONLY reason the Barbie movie was on my radar remotely was the talent involved. "Yes" I tend to pay attention when Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Greta Gerwig & Noah Baumbach decide to combine forces.

Yet, I was still skeptical, I mean honestly what can you really do with the premise that wouldn't be ridiculous?!

Well even though I'm still not sure what they are doing with the actual film in terms of premise, after seeing the teaser trailer that dropped yesterday...sing me up, I'm there!!!

C'mon Barbie Let's Go Party...Hit the teaser below...

C'mon Barbie Let's Go Party!

I Got A Brand New Pair Of Rollerskates
Margot Robbie & Ryan Gosling

Look skating down the Venice Beach Boardwalk it's the famous Barbie and her equally famous beau Ken!

This image was captured straight outta the set for the currently filming Barbie Movie. 

Now I know simply hearing that is a cringe moment for some of you out there, I too was skeptical at first. But seeing this photo makes me intrigued to say the least.

"Yes" Minions it peaks my interest. After all it is being directed by indie darling Greta Gerwig and was co-written by her an her equally well thought of indie filmmaker partner in life Noah Baumbach, so there!!!

Thus enjoy the fun of seeing Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken skating in some astoundingly loud neon outfits on skates, naturally. 

I know I did!!!

Obsession

What's Your Obsession???
Margot Robbie & Kristen Stewart

What do you get when you cross an angel with a villain? You get the internet's latest obsession, this photo of Margot Robbie and Kristen Stewart is currently fueling the fantasy of many on the WWW.

Word has it that said image was taken at a 2018 Chanel event, both women are ambassadors for the brand. Well it resurfaced this week and is capturing the imagination of thousands.

Inspiring such comments as: "Someone said this is two ends of the Lesbian fashion spectrum and I can't stop thinking about it"

To this one: "I f#cking know Kristen Stewart has a huge f#cking crush on Margot Robbie do NOT tell me she does not"

Well, there you have it. 

So, what's crossing your mind right here, right now while taking this sight in?

Just Because...Margot Robbie

Hello Gorgeous
Margot Robbie

Just Because...I don't wanna Christmas, Just Because...Her hot buzz film Bombshell opened this weekend & Just Because...I am one of her fans, that's correct Minions - Heeeeere's Margot Robbie.

Margot was snapped in a snazzy navy blue dress entering the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show in Hollywood. I think she could wear potato sack and make it look good.

Obviously she was promoting Bombshell which just opened this weekend. A film which I intend to take in either today or tomorrow depending on how things go with my schedule.

I have been a fan of Robbie ever since I saw her excellent work as Tonya Harding in I, Tonya. What's that? "Yes" I know she had done other films before that, and while I had heard of her, as well as them. I have never viewed any of her work prior. 

Moving on, I hope you have a Bombshell free day, unless it's at the movies!

Holy Sharon Tate!

Margot, Sharon, Margot, Sharon
l-r
Margot Robbie & Sharon Tate

As all of you know I am a Margot Robbie fan - and as one can imagine this image of her as Sharon Tate from Quentin Tarantino's upcoming flick Once Upon A Time In Hollywood has me over the moon!

Here is the synopsis for the tale....

"A faded TV actor and his stunt double embark on an odyssey to make a name for themselves in the film industry during the Helter Skelter reign of terror in 1969 Los Angeles."

While it is set during the time when Tate was tragically slaughtered by the Manson Family, the above description is vague and doesn't really give any sort of a hint, or theory even as  how this fits in the film.

Ya know what? That's OK by me, all I know is Robbie eerily evokes Tate in the above image, they are doppelgangers. 

"Yep" sign me up, I am so down with going to see this, I'm ready!

Just Because...Margot Robbie

Ballroom Blitz?
Margot Robbie

Just Because I actually slept in today, Just Because she looks amazing in a little black dress & Just Because I loved her in I, Tonya - it's a Margot Robbie kind of day!

That's correct minions you gotta love that Margot. Why? Just Because I decreed it.

While I never saw her in Suicide Squad, I'd rather attempt the first part of that movie title than watch it. I fell head over heels for Ms. Robbie when I saw her in the film I, Tonya. So much so that I felt she deserved to win the Oscar for it.

Sorry, not sorry Frances McDormand,  I love you too, but let's face it chica, you had won before and were an easy get for the waxworks who vote on the Academy.

How do I adore Margot let me count the ways...

I follow her on Instagram, I pay attention to her upcoming projects and I post amazing photos of her right her, right now when I have a chance.

Now it's time to say goodbye, etcetra and vice versa.

Have a Margot Robbie Day!

Queen Margot

I admit it, I had only heard of Margot Robbie before seeing I, Tonya. "Yep" I, Tonya was the first time I had even seen Ms. Robbie in a film. She was spectacular as Tonya Harding. I suspect she will take home the Golden Globe this Sunday for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy.

What's that you say? What about her turn as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, you mean you didn't see that. "No" I didn't thank you very much, honestly you would have had to kidnap me, tie me up and prop my eyes open A Clockwork Orange style to get me to watch it, and I would still find a way to resist.

Robbie who appears on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter with Tonya Harding tells them she has one regret about doing that movie:

"There's just all this stuff you learn along the way, like, when you get those death threats, it's [smart] to have a security team do a background check on whoever sent them to see if there is any past history of violence because you'll need to know whether you need security to go to certain events. And every time you do a background check, it's going to cost $2,000, so take that into consideration when you're getting yourself into this."

"And it's like, 'OK, that's a different kind of career.' Because then you need to always do a job that can financially support that lifestyle; you can't just do indie films for the rest of your life because that film back there changed everything and now you have to be able to afford security, I just wish someone had explained a lot of those things to me early on. I wouldn't have resented the position I found myself in because I would've known what I was getting myself into."

See kids being a Movie Star isn't always shits & giggles. Best of luck to you Margot on Sunday, you got this!

I, Tonya

When Tonya Met Margot
Tonya Harding & Margot Robbie

One of the more buzzed about films of award season is I, Tonya based on disgraced figure skater and Nancy Kerrigan leg bashing accomplice Tonya Harding. Word is Margot Robbie gives a spot on performance as Harding and filmmakers have gone with a darkly comic approach to the true life source material.

This being stated, I was completely caught off guard when I saw this photo of the real Tonya Harding at the Los Angeles premiere of  I, Tonya with, well Margot Robbie who portrays her. 

Why you may ask? Well for starters while the movie does not paint Harding as an outright villain, it does not exactly make her completely sympathetic either. Seriously I am not so sure I would support something that came from such a dark time in my life. I know it has been twenty-three years since the incident, but still...get my point??? Of course you do!

I guess all I can say is cheers to Tonya for being a good sport. It's Monday let's get this party started!

Just Because...Margot Robbie

M-I-C...
Margot Robbie

Just because it's Monday, just because she's a beauty & mostly just because she is wearing a Mickey Mouse T-Shirt, I present this image of actress Margot Robbie.

Even though I did not see Suicide Squad I am sure most of you like me know her best from her role as Harley Quinn in the comic book based movie.

The last I heard she wrapped playing Tonya Harding of all things (isn't she too attractive to be portraying her?) in the bio based film I, Tonya.

Margot's greatest achievement IMHOP is having accomplished something I never thought possible. Yep, she has managed to add a whole other dimension to the icon known as Mickey Mouse.

Think about it, but not too hard, OK?

Happy Monday indeed.

Making Out With "The Joker" Is Nasty

Whose Lipstick Is Best?
Jared Leto & Margot Robbie

One would think getting up close and personal with Jared Leto would be all kinds of sexy, right?

Well apparently it's nasty, and not in the fun way, when he is made-up to portray The Joker in Suicide Squad. 

Co-Star Margot Robbie who plays Harley Quinn his love interest and partner in crime explains that there were 10 minute make-up touch ups in between takes of the kissing scenes. Now I am not sure how many of you are familiar with the technical end of how takes work, but that is a massive effort for one shot, wow!

But, she had no problem putting the moves on Leto in his scary ass Joker get up. Once you get over the initial shock she explained it becomes normal.

I bet! Suicide Squad opens Friday. Check out the trailer below...
