Saturday Sinema: Crimson Peak

Go Goth, or Go Home...
From the imagination of Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, The Shape of Water) comes Crimson Peak, a lavish, stunningly realised journey into the dark heart of Gothic romance... Beginning in Buffalo, New York, during the 1880s, Crimson Peak stars Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland, Stoker) as Edith Cushing, an aspiring writer who is haunted by the death of her mother. Edith's falls in love with seductive stranger Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston, Avengers Assemble), who whisks her off to Allerdale Hall, his baronial, yet dilapidated English mansion built upon a mountain of blood-red clay. Here Edith meets Lucille (Jessica Chastain, Zero Dark Thirty), Thomas's sister who at times seems hostile and jealous. As Edith struggles to feel at home in the imposing residence, she gradually uncovers a horrendous family secret and encounters supernatural forces that will help her discover the terrible truth behind Crimson Peak. Boasting incredibly intricate and ornate production design and a rich visual style, del Toro's film is a grandiose, boldly baroque triumph of Gothic decadence, which expertly combines and contrasts the sublimely beautiful with the shockingly grotesque. Crimson Peak is presented here in sumptuous special packaging, with a wealth of extra features, affording unprecedented insight in to the making of this modern Gothic classic.

Coupling

Leaving on a Jet Plane
Ashley Benson & Cara Delevingne
When news broke that Pretty Little Liars Ashley Benson & Model/Actress Cara Delevingne were a couple it was one of those "Wow" came out of nowhere moments that was actually one of the coolest surprises ever. They were the couple you never knew you needed, but did.

Cut to post the press letting the cat out of the bag, they hadn't been seen in the the public together for quite some time. I thought did the press outing them as a couple halt the sexy twosome before they even had a chance to get started?!

Fear not Ashley & Cara fans, finally  the two were spotted by the press this past Friday at London's Gatwick Airport. "Yay" these two are still very much together. Wanna know why? They stay out of the public eye for the most part and another thing that is quite obvious to myself is they both are autonomous, having their own very separate lives

Kudos these two seem like they are going to last. Even if they don't this is how you relationship peeps!

Michael's Musings

The Write Stuff
Michael Shinafelt
Finally Christmas is over! Can I get a groove is in the heart to that?! I thought I could. We are now headed in to 2019 the new year as it were. 

I really have no expectations on this coming year, other than it will be like the other New Years, different number same sh!t, with some changes thrown in for good measure. Speaking of measure it's time to see how many licks it really does take to get to the center of a tootsie pop!

Put your ice cream back in the freezer and tell your genitals to werk!

I am 100% sure I gained a few pounds this past week, cut me some slack in addition to Christmas I also had a Birthday thrown in the mix for good measure

Why can't we all just do the Time Warp again?

Still did not receive Cha Cha Heels again for Christmas this year, damn it!

Another Christmas has come and gone and Mariah Carey is now back in her box

Well then there's Aquaman 

Skinny Jeans are my new jam

Jam is not something I partake in

Little boxes, discuss 


They're Hitched!
Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth 
Congratulations to Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth they seem perfect for each other

"Yes" I have a dirty mind

Hump Day & Chill

Who's That Guy
Guy Triche
"Yes" I know most of my minions are off work between now and the New Year but after spending time enjoying your Christmas Day in whatever capacity that was I still think one needs to take time to Hump Day & Chill.

Thus I bring you tall drink of water Guy Triche standing at six feet five inches and "No" the inches are not referring to his, that happens to be larger & quite nice for the record...anyway Guy will help you beat (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) the post Christmas blues. Or simply help you burn off some extra calories by clicking on the link to his naked photo shoot & interview below via Tye Briggs Favorite Hunks & Other Things.

Get to know Guy and how he feels about baring it all for you to see. "Yep" that question is addressed, there's even an image and a comment about his, um, excitement while doing so. If you know what I mean, and I think you do.

So get to it, your mission should you choose to accept it is to Hump Day & Chill. Click on the NSFW link below and let your fingers do the walking!!!

Monday Motivation

Nom, Nom, Nom
Cookie Monster

"Me Want Cookie!" - Cookie Monster 

It's Christmas Eve and it happens to fall on a Monday. Thus what better Monday Motivation than cookies

Yep, Michael & Cookie Monster say indulge, like I did last night. "Yes" I confess I had red velvet cookies last night courtesy of my friend Scott to celebrate my Birthday. People you have to enjoy life and despite that I have lost 50 lbs and now have a rockin' body I dove in with reckless abandon and can't believe I ate a whole thing of cookies (with some help.) I consumed mass quantities of the decadent treat and I liked it!

Hey, unlike my furry blue friend Cookie Monster, who eats them all the time, this was a rare gluttonous evening for yours truly and it was worth every over the top moment.

Cookies, everyone, cookies - it's Christmas and it only comes once a year so give in to your inner Cookie Monster and nom, nom, nom...!

Dirrty!

Make Some Noise
Christina Aguilera & Matthew Rutler
"If you ain't dirty - You ain't here to party (whoo!)" - Dirrty, Christina Aguilera 

What is the Holiday Season without a little simulated oral, sex that is? Thus today I give a two days until Christmas shout out to my fellow Sagittarius and Birthday sharer - "Yes" we were both born on December 18th, Christina Aquilera!

Xtina is here via moi to put some spice into your Holiday grrrrrrrl. She like me, knows how to have some Dirrty fun during the most wonderful time of the year.

Chica knows how to get down, like yours truly. Who says Christmas needs to be pure as the driven snow?

Breakdown the walls and grow some balls that aren't blue and hanging, from a tree that is...

FYI: Ms. Aguilera will be headlining Dick Clark's New Years Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest.

In the meantime have yourself a Dirrty Little Christmas...Just do it!
