Film Buff Friday: Re-Animator

I remember Re-Animator causing quite a stir when it came out, yes that makes me old. I love this movie! I also saw the musical version by it's creator Stuart Gordon a few years back  in Los Angeles. 

It was on point, and Stuart was there that night. The more you know...

HERBERT WEST HAS A GOOD HEAD ON HIS SHOULDERS... AND ANOTHER ONE ON HIS DESK. 

One of the most wildly popular horror movies of all-time, Stuart Gordon's enduring splatter-comedy classic Re-Animator returns to Blu-ray in a stunning restoration packed with special features!

When medical student Dean Cain advertises for a roommate, he soon finds one in the form of Dr. Herbert West. Initially a little eccentric, it some becomes clear that West entertains some seriously outlandish theories - specifically, the possibility of re-animating the dead. It's not long before Dean finds himself under West's influence, and embroiled in a serious of ghoulish experiments which threaten to go wildly out of control... 

Based on H.P. Lovecraft's classic terror tale Herbert West - Reanimator and featuring a standout performance from Jeffrey Combs as the deliciously deranged West, Re-Animator remains the ground-zero of '80s splatter mayhem and one of the genre's finest hours.

Michael's Musings

King Cold Miser

"Cold is the color of crystal the snow light, That falls from the heavenly skies" Cold - Annie Lennox

Yes it's summer, but why am I feeling so cold? Well this past Tuesday we Americans celebrated July 4th. It was the 241st Birthday of our country, a celebration of a break from tyranny. Yet in 2017 certain people with brain disorders voted it back in. 

Thus I told people on my social media outlets to celebrate their independence, that is what will keep us all strong, shall we continue? Fer sure!

It's official, I am the booty whisperer 

Admit it, kale sucks

Annie Lennox was recently mistaken for a promising new singer. Ugh, millennials.

Stop calling Kelly Clarkson fat

One Upon A Time...you know the rest, or do you???

It's the first Thursday of the rest of our lives. Think about it, but not too much.

Fourthing Hard

Fourthed Hard!
Justin Theroux & Laura Dern 

Normally when a Holiday is over I stop posting about it. But I decided to give the 4th of July one last go. Why? Because I saw this cool image of two of my favorites Justin Theroux & Laura Dern via Justin's Instagram with the caption "Fourthing Hard." Thus today's byline, naturally.

The main reason I thought to use it is sort of silly, sort of cool, sort of me Charlie. It's because Justin used some of the many graphics available on Instagram to add to his duo photo. I love that feature in "The Gram" and use it with frequency in my stories section. Sometimes recycling the image on my actual page or other places.

Now if only Justin would caption one of those magnificent images of him freeballing with something really provocative...one can dream can't one?

Happy 4th Of July!

I Pledge Allegiance To Your Clothes...
Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard

Whilst searching the WWW for an image that really struck my fancy today I was pretty much at the end of the road until I stumbled upon this too adorbs pic of Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard in American Flag onesies.

Nothing says independence like PJ's with the old red, white and blue plastered on them I always say starting as of now, yes, right now.

Who better than to pull this fashion statement off than cutest couple on earth Bell & Shepard? They always make me smile when I see them together as you can see how much they enjoy each others company. 

So for this Tuesday, July 4th 2017 I wish you a day of laughter and levity. It doesn't get much better or independent than that I always say, starting right here, right now...

Hit The Beach!

Beach Boy Pin-Up
Zac Efron

I recently saw the Baywatch movie. Now before you judge let me make clear it was at a screening on the Sony Pictures lot, thus it was free, no charge, zero dinero. 

Also it starred my Boy Zac Efron, as if I would turn down spending 90 minutes looking at him in a bathing suit, not!

What was that? Did I like it? Surprisingly enough the answer is "yes," it wasn't great or anything but it was stupidly entertaining.

Let me give you an example by telling you my favorite line in it. Zac keeps inverting two letters while spelling a word (that I can not remember) and is asked if he is dyslexic, he replies: "No I'm Caucasian" Now you are getting the idea of what kind of movie it is.

So naturally Zac is my official beach boy pin-up for the summer, behold Zac in all his glory and worship him accordingly. 

Ciao!

Just Because...The Odd Couple

Who Knew???
Sharon Stone & Drew Barrymore

Just because it's the 4th of July weekend, just because this image proves once and for all Sharon Stone is a vampire & just because Drew Barrymore has such an infectious smile, I present to you this photo of them as you've never seen them before...together!

Who knew that these two knew each other let alone crossed paths for this photo opp in the early part of the decade. 

Marvel about how Sharon never seems to age. Behold Drew's charm. Wow! This is an all sorts of special moment!!!

Being a fan of both I'm glad I found this while surfing the WWW now I have it here on Entertain Me to infinity and beyond.

Now that's entertainment, and aren't you happy? Have a good one!

Fame Is Like Caviar

It's July 1st, yes peeps 2017 is more than half over and the Orange Menace is still being a worthless Bitch Baby. 

Normally I don't do posts about my wall calendar, but...this month's Marilyn Monroe quote for some reason captured my imagination: Fame Is Like Caviar....the accompanying image makes it even more intriguing, it gives it an ambiguity. Which actually works, depending on how you feel about devouring fish eggs.

Caviar is considered a delicacy and therefore if fame is like it, it must be delicate? A privilege? Something to savor? Perhaps something salty and nasty you want to spit out? Not all it's cracked up to be? The list of interpretations of of this quote are endless.

Having had a taste of a certain amount of visibility out there in the world I'm going to go with a little of both the glutinous definition of fame and the spitting version. 

Fame is like anything that enhances your life, the upside always out weighs the downside, but ever so often you want to spit it out. I for one like caviar and would never spit it out unless there was a very specific reason, think about that, but not too hard.

It's July 1st 2017, in what has been a fast moving, not to mention one of the most embarrassing years in American History. Keep yourself happy and do you!
