"They're all going to laugh at you" Margaret White, "Carrie"

And indeed they did 45 - moving on....

Hey United Nations to be fair, my friends and myself have been laughing at
Donald Trump for a while now

Byline of the week: "Looking back on 10 years of Goop - vaginal eggs included" that pretty much sums it up (BTW my statement is not a compliment) 

I knew Thomas Ravenel from Bravo's "Southern Charm" was bad news. Why? Because I wanted to jump him hard!

This Is Us is back. In the immortal words of Nancy Kerrigan "Whhhhhhhyyyyyyyy?!" 

How to get rid of skin deep wrinkles without surgery...I'm in!

I wanna helicopter bungee jump

Fine as a line

Just Because...Robert Redford & Sissy Spacek

Feels :Like The First Time (It Is!)
Sissy Spacek & Robert Redford

Just Because he's The Sundance Kid, Just Because she's Carrie White & Just Because they have a new movie The Old Man & The Gun hitting theaters September 28th. Heeeeere's Robert Redford & Sissy Spacek!

These were two of the biggest movie stars of my youth. Both of them essayed many great films and roles. Well they are back in a big way damn it with a movie that goes like this: 

"Based on the true story of Forrest Tucker (Robert Redford), from his audacious escape from San Quentin at the age of 70 to an unprecedented string of heists that confounded authorities and enchanted the public. Wrapped up in the pursuit are detective John Hunt (Casey Affleck), who becomes captivated with Forrest's commitment to his craft, and a woman (Sissy Spacek), who loves him in spite of his chosen profession."

And aren't you happy? I know I am. It will be great to see the first time pairing of these two, "yes" it's their first time peeps. This is what we would refer to as epic in my days of yore, the source material pretty much seems like a slam dunk for this duo.

What's in your local cinema?

C-O-F-F-E-E !

Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves!
Renee Zellweger

"C-o-f-f-e-e, coffee is not for me, It's a drink some people wake up with" Coffee Song

I remember singing this as a tadpole in grade school . While I am not a big coffee drinker I do imbibe occasionally. Well today is one of those days I am hitting the cup!

This image of Renee Zellweger balancing mass quantities of Starbucks illustrates exactly how I feel this Monday September 24, 2018. Give me all the coffee, iced tea, anything with caffeine in it pronto please.

Thus as I am typing this with my right hand I am using my left to fuel me, fuel me good!

Hey it's Monday after all and any motivation is welcome, what's in your cup?

Enjoy your, ugh, Monday...!!!

Hitting The Tractor!

What A Feeling!
Jennifer Garner

So here we are, it's the first day of Fall and guess who's hitting the tractor?! None other than Jennifer Garner. 

Damn Grrrrrrrrl, what did divorcing Ben Affleck do to you? You are now loco and you feel a need to mow down strawberry fields? Yeah, I'm kidding. 

I'm not really sure why Ms. Garner is sitting on top of a tractor, but it's a great visual to kick off the first day of Fall 2018. 

What's that you say, you can't believe we are winding down 2018 already. Neither can I, and neither can the my imaginary friend named Bertha.

But alas Fall is officially here despite that today it is going to be in the 80's in my neck of the world Los Angeles, CA.

Hit it, it's the Fall Equinox minions!

Just Because...Emma Roberts

Witchy Woman
Emma Roberts

Just Because she's color coordinated, Just Because she's out and about in my hood, Silverlake, CA & Just Because she's baaaaack on American Horror Story this season as bad ass witch Madison Montgomery - Yeah, it's time for some Emma Roberts....

While I am not sure how AHS: Apocalypse is going to tie in Murder House & Coven. "Yes" I know we have all seen the "Leather Man," but how does that puzzle piece fit into the end of the world damn it! One thing is for sure Madison Montgomery, Madison Montgomery, Madison Montgomery.

In case you haven't guessed I loved Emma Roberts as a bitch of a witch on AHS: Coven. So much so that the very thrown together season, which had no F#cking consistency or continuity had another saving grace other than Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates & Angela Basssett.

Looking forward to seeing Emma's reappearance as Madison. Seriously, how could a witch as powerful as her be offed by strangulation? Yeah, that's how lame Coven was.

Mic Drop!

Follow Emma on IG, I do -

Film Buff Friday: Prehysteria!

OK, Full Moon fans, you know who you are...Woot! Here it is!!!

Full Moon's classic family film PREHYSTERIA 

comes to Blu-ray for the first time ever this Fall

This remastered, high-definition transfer taken from the original 35mm camera negative arrives in a special Blu-ray + DVD combo package on October 9th

Legendary horror and dark fantasy film studio Full Moon Features (founded by producer / director Charles Band in 1989) is world-renowned for wild films like PUPPET MASTER, CASTLE FREAK, SUBSPECIES, EVIL BONG and many, many more. But nestled among Full Moon's vast entertainment universe sits Moonbeam Entertainment, the beloved '90s imprint that housed Band's series of imaginative (and successful) fantasy films.

 

Beginning in 1993 and continuing well into the late '90s, Moonbeam Entertainment released dozens of remarkable (and hugely popular) horror, sci-fi and fantasy movies made for children and families. Now, Full Moon is thrilled to be bringing back many of those marvelous pictures from the Moonbeam library, starting with the film that started it all: PREHYSTERIA!

Anticipating the success of JURASSIC PARK, this 1993 VHS-era favorite follows the misadventures of Jerry Taylor (Austin O'Brien, THE LAST ACTION HERO), a 12 year old Elvis-loving kid and his sister Monica (Samantha Mills), whose raisin farmer dad Frank (Brett Cullen, GHOST RIDER) accidentally brings home a bundle of rare eggs unearthed in the rainforest by Rico Sarno (Stephen Lee, DOLLS), an sinister museum curator. Suddenly, the eggs hatch, unleashing a pack of diminutive dinosaurs that the kids name after their favorite rock and pop music stars - Elvis, Jagger, Madonna, Paula, and Hammer. But when Sarno finds out about the dinos, he'll stop at nothing to get his hands on them and its up to Jerry and Monica to protect their new "family".

 

This wild and hilarious comedy / fantasy classic features top-notch stop-motion special effects by the great David Allen (PUPPET MASTER, LASERBLAST) and is ready to be embraced by a new generation of children and kids of all ages looking for charming, eccentric retro-genre entertainment. Full Moon is pleased to present PREHYSTERIA in a remastered, high-definition transfer taken from the original 35mm camera negative. 

Come and spend some time with the world's oldest party animals!
