Halloween 2018

Halloween 2018

So this weekend, like many, I saw the current incarnation of Halloween starring the fantastic Jamie Lee Curtis. What a clever idea it was to abolish all the other sequels and make a direct one to the original 40 years later.

While I don't review movies I would like to give you my thoughts on this one. To put it enthusiastically this is the sequel that the original 1978 Halloween deserved/deserves!

Every little thing about it is just right from the atmosphere to the tone. Jamie Lee Curtis is dead on as traumatized woman suffering from PTSD. Too bad they don't nominate performances from these types of films for an Oscar, since Jamie Lee deserves one for it!

Behind You! Behind You!
Jamie Lee Curtis & The Boogeyman aka Michael Myers

This movie is also quite meta, there are many references to the 1978 classic as well as a wink and a nod to Halloween III: Season of the Witch - "yes" some kids wear the Silver Shamrock masks while out and about tricking peeps for treats.

Michael Myers is still as terrifying as ever and I just loved this movie! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time!

There is only one quibble I have with it. The "New Loomis" what was up with that cornball fake accent? Seriously?! 

I give Halloween a five knifes up, out of five!

Michael v Mariah

Separated @ Birth
Mariah Carey v Michael Myers

Saw Halloween 2018 yesterday. More on that tomorrow...I know I am late to this, but since Mariah Carey is one of my least favorite delusional celebrities I just had to run this, today, right here right now.

"Yes" kiddos Mariah and Michael Myers were separated at birth. Oh Mariah let me count your detached from reality and narcissistic bullsh!t ways. 

Well for starters there was that one time on Access Hollywood when you were embarking on your tour and you proclaimed your dog's name was Jack in case those of us "living under a rock" didn't know it. I could tell you weren't joking.

Then there's the time when I quote: "If you die you've lost a very important part of your life." Yeah, she's pretty scary. Need I continue? No I just can't.

She also had an amazing voice which has gone down hill in recent years. Due to the fact she is not in touch with any sort of reality and never took care of it. 

Dear Mariah, I am not one of your fans!

OZG: Rihanna

Bad Ass To The Bone
Rihanna

With the countdown to Halloween in full force I'd like to show my support for one Rihanna. Who Turned down performing at the upcoming Superbowl in support of Colin Kaepernick. 

(Yeah, we now get Maroon 5 instead (meh) - bur considering why that happened I'm down with it.)

This is  a balls to the wall decision that I respect and admire her for. Thus it seems fitting to back her today all dressed up for Halloween as, what else? A Zombie Gangster, naturally.

"Yes" Rhi, Rhi is the OZG (original zombie gangster) and the grooviest of all the ghouls in this truly appropriate for the season and her current political stand get up.

Bend it like Rihanna this Season of the Witch and let loose your OZG, OWG or OG with a rebel yell!

Tis' a mere 11 more days until Halloween - you go ghouls!

Film Buff Friday - "Bloodlines"

I was made aware of Vincent via Margaret Cho, fascinating stuff...

"A morbid, fascinating, and remarkably inspiring new documentary about one of the most acclaimed artists of our time." - Metal Injection

Award winning Filmmaker / Author John Borowski's (H.H. Holmes: America's First Serial Killer) fifith feature documentary film, Bloodlines: The Art and Life of Vincent Castiglia, will be released in North America on November 13th. The film focuses on artist Castiglia's painful life of abuse, addiction, and recovery while also exploring the reasons why the world renowned artist paints exclusively in human blood.

Vincent Castiglia paints surreal images exclusively in human blood. He began doing so as form of self-healing following a troubled childhood and painful existence. From darkness, however, came light, and Castiglia's story is one of inspiration and hope, providing proof that art can heal and serve to inspire others.

 

Margaret Cho, who commissioned Vincent to paint her portrait in her blood, is interviewed in the film as well as celebrities Gregg Allman, Damien Echols, Kerry King and Gary Holt of the heavy metal band Slayer, record executive Michael Alago, and numerous others including filming in the studio and museum of legendary artist H.R. Giger, who designed the iconic creature for the Alien movies.

After a successful Kickstarter fundraising campaign, production of the film spanned from 2014 to 2018, filming on location in the United States: New York City, Los Angeles, Louisiana, Chicago, Oregon, and internationally: Singapore and Switzerland.

Could It Be Satan? Close It's -

"I'm off the deep end, Watch as I dive in, I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface" - "Shallow" Lady Gaga 

This is the song that has been giving me life of late. The above lyrics taken from it is my mantra. I've met the ground before and it's never gonnna happen again, 

Only 13 more days until Halloween, disciples!

Do something that truly scares you this month. Call it perfect timing.

A shout out to my friend Toni Trucks on the success of season two of Seal Team on CBS

Workout selfies are hot

While I am not invested in American Horror Story anymore, I am enjoying the WTF aspect of the current season - Apocalypse 

Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard - Love will keep them together 

That time when someone asked me to spot them $2 at McDonald's and I stated: I have money, but I'm not giving you any - empowering

Why did a Lesbian at the Ralph's confuse my order for two fried chicken legs, with two friend chicken breasts???

Lady Gaga is engaged and the ring cost 400 k - You go! 

Guess what I'm wearing right now, and it isn't appropriate for public viewing (yet it should be)

The new Halloween opens this Friday, ghosts, ghouls & fiends!

Why would you dye your hair hot pink in my bathroom? 

Take it to another level of emotion

The Markle Sparkle

Don't Tell The Koala, But I'm Pregnant
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle
at
Sydney's Taronga Zoo

Congratulations to Prince Harry & Meghan Markle - They're pregnant! Of course I am not the first to report this, but I will be the one to help spearhead a movement.

One of the best things I saw online with regard to this joyous news was "Instead of "Baby Glow" let's trend the "Markle Sparkle." Perfection!

Sparkle, Meghan, Sparkle! Well quite frankly she does. There is an inner and outer beauty to Ms. Markle that is flat out radiant and shines like a diamond.

Hats off to whoever came up with this idea, I for one am 100% behind this.

Sing it high, sing it low, let everyone know the "Markle Sparkle" is a thing.

Enjoy your day and don't forget to...you know, sparkle!
