The Undead

BTS
Winona Ryder & Francis Ford Coppola
Bram Stoker's Dracula

While neither Francis Ford Coppola or Winona Ryder are undead they did collaborate on a film about the King of the Undead Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1992.

 

This BTS image of the famed director and his leading lady is put here for your countdown to Halloween enjoyment, it speaks volumes too of their fondness for each other.

You remember how everyone thought that Coppola was miffed when Ryder pulled out of the Godfather Part III? Yeah, bullsh!t at it's finest, obviously.

Hey gotta keep the gossip mill running as they do in Hollywood. 

12 more days until Halloween!

Hump Day & Chill

Reunited
Winona Ryder & Michael Keaton

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice! Yeah that's the ticket...as much as I loathe legacy sequels (and trust me I do!) I am going to give a Hump Day & Chill to the one for Bettlejuice.

I happened upon the original a few months ago and had forgotten how utterly unique and fun it was. Since I've heard the sequel captures the magic of the first, well I guess this will be an exception to my legacy sequel rule, I will see it instead of avoid it.

"Yes" it's 100% true I steer clear of this kind of nonsense (that also includes Marvel Moives) but if this even succeeds in capturing half of the magic of the original then I'mall in!!!

So let's Hump Day & Chill to saying Beetlejuice three times this weekend. 

You know you want to...

Beetlejuice 2

As you've more than likely have heard at this point we are getting Beetlejuice 2 thirty five years after the original.

Honestly I'm feeling ambivalent about the whole enterprise. Is this something we really need and why???

Seriously thirty five years is a long time for a sequel to arrive, it really seems like an experiment more than anything.

Nonetheless here is the first image of Winona Ryder reprising her role as Lydia Deetz straight outta the set.

Beetlejuice 2 drops September 6th 2024.

Michael's Musings

Turn & Face The Strange
Michael Shinafelt

Hello lovely beings! This week it's time we turn to face the strange. In both ways literally, strange is good when it is inclusive, but when it is exclusive, well you know how that goes, right "President" Trump.

Yeah, I wanted to use a few more choice words, but I chose to take the high road.

OK, enough of my preaching, here we go!!!

Anyone watching Taboo on FX? I am, I like it! It also doesn't hurt that Tom Hardy is 
H-O-T!

Immigration Ban? Where the fuck did you come from Dumpster????

I want whatever meds Winona Ryder is on,

Try not to be a Twatsicle 

Eat Cheeseburgers & Make Love

I saw LeAnn Rimes this past weekend with Ken Phillips, amazing! She closed with a cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, I still hear it in my head. 

Sometimes you have to GROI! Get Rid Of It.

Monday, Monday....Stranger Things

"Monday, Monday, So good to me, Monday morning, It was all I hoped it would be" - The Mamas & The Papas

It's the Monday after the Screen Actors Guild Awards and there were some amazing speeches last nice in case you missed them.

Well since I have been super busy this weekend and am headed to a 6:30 am taping of Fashion Police this morning, let me leave you with one of them. 

The cast of Stranger Things won for best ensemble in a drama series. The gang gave the mic over to star David Harbour better known as Chief Jim Hopper and boy was it amazing!

Thus I leave you with it to kick your week off on a positive note. I need to motor Margaret Cho and Melissa Rivers are waiting.

PS - be sure to check out Winona Ryder's facial expressions too, they are the best!

Get ready for a spoonful of truth!

Reality Bites

Memories
Winona Ryder & Ethan Hawke

Alright who out there remembers when the movie Reality Bites came out? Me, me, me, me, I do!

That is correct if you remember this time and place like myself, then you too are old. Yay! 

Now that we've established that. Today's piece of feel good nostalgia, a photo of it's stars Winona Ryder and Ethan Hawke who played love interests Troy & Lelaina in it, is for your creaky old booty.

Hey it made me smile to see the two of them reunited at the screening of Born To Be Blue in NYC. 

It really is the simple things. 

Well I am sitting here at my keyboard with my morning fruit and Tejava tea gearing up for another Sunday spin class this ayem (get it gearing up?!) at Gold's Gym Hollywood, I may be old, but I still have buns of steel.

Have a good one!
