Film Buff Friday: Man Of A Thousand Faces

A thousand faces?! Wow! Most people only have two...

One screen legend pays homage to another in Man of a Thousand Faces, an enthralling biopic which sees Oscar-winning tough guy James Cagney give a multifaceted portrayal of silent cinema legend Lon Chaney. In early horror classics such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Phantom of The Opera, Lon Chaney captivated audiences with his vivid personifications of grotesque and afflicted characters. His extraordinary make-up skills, and miraculous ability to completely transform into grisly yet sympathetic and tragic monsters, garnered him international acclaim and the famous moniker of this film's title. Yet, despite his talent and success, Chaney led a life plagued by hardship and heartache. This insightful film-portrait traces the trajectory of the actor's career: from impoverished vaudeville clown to Hollywood stardom, whilst also capturing the drama that surrounded his private life. The film is presented here for the first time in dazzling High Definition, with a selection of revealing extras.

Michael's Musings

I Wanna Be A Vampire...
Michael Shinafelt

"The bats have left the bell tower, The victims have been bled, Red velvet lines the black box, Bela Lugosi's dead" - Bela Lugosi's Dead, Bauhaus

I suck, you suck, we all suck...take this however you choose, literally, figuratively or horizontally. The choice is yours to make, are you up for it?

This week I am letting loose my inner Vampire. Hey, it's the season to be, scary and sexy. Did you know one of the things Angelina Jolie and I had in common when we were children? We both wanted to be Vampires when we grew up, suck on that, go ahead don't be afraid...

I have a research file, I have questions

The truth is somewhere in the heat of the day, the cold of the night, the gray in your brain

Redrum by numbers 1,2,3... (Police fans will get this one)

I'm elegantly Satan

By the pricking of my thumb, look, there's an evil f#cking Nun

Me and Linus still believe in the Great Pumpkin. Eff you Charlie Brown

And then there's Cardi B and her AIDS comment, out damned c#nt (apologies to William Shakespeare)

Truth or Dare? Really which one do you choose? Call me.

Did you know there is a horror movie based on The Banana Splits on the SyFy Network this Saturday? "Yes" it's totally legit, DVR set.

Woman Crush of the Week - Catherine Deneuve in "The Hunger" forever, and ever...

These bats were made for flying, and that's just what they'll do

Number please, Transylvania 6500! 

Soap drop & bend over, is the new bend & snap

When you feel dirty, roll in it, just add mud

Got Milk?

Angelina Jolie

I have always had a fascination with the "Got Milk?" ads. As a non milk drinker (ugh!) this hard sell campaign featured celebrities at their most silly.

Can you imagine how over the moon I was that I came across this doozy with Angelina Jolie promoting Tomb Raider?! I love surfing the WWW because of the random things that I find while researching something else, it's awesome!

Thus with Maleficent: Mistress of Evil coming at ya October 18th I couldn't resist running this gem that is downright, well, goofy AF. 

Honestly though it does not look like Jolie posed for an actual "Got Milk?" ad. It does look like the studio took a still of her as Lara Croft and submitted it to the campaign to give the movie a PR boost.

Hmmmmmmm....I wonder if Disney will follow suit and we will see Jolie as Maleficent with a milk moustache? Now that's entertainment!

Monday Motivation

"I'm A Mouse, Duh!"
Gus Kenworthy

With the completely bonkers American Horror Story: 1984 in full force I thought to myself What better Monday Motivation than one of it's stars Gus Kenworthy doing his take on the "Slut Mouse" from Mean Girls?" 

I mean who could forget Amanda Seyfried's Karen Smith in nothing buy lingerie and tiny mouse ears uttering "I'm a mouse, duh!" Seriously, you really can't un-see that...and who better to do a male take on it, shirtless and oh so slutty, than Gus?

With his body I would go shirtless as often as possible, Hell I'd go completely naked as much as possible if I looked him! Fortunately Mr. Kenworthy has gotten naked for us in photos that bare his supple booty.

So file this under Monday Motivation: Halloween Goals. "Yes" I know I will never own a body like Gus', but I will trim off the little bit of extra baggage I put on after my surgery (it really wasn't that much) and next Halloween I will be a shirtless "Vampire Slut" because being a "Slut Mouse" is for major league studs, like Gus, not DILF's like me.

The Final Countdown...

Bend It Like Harley
Sarah Michelle Gellar

It's October the 6th and a mere 25 days left until Halloween. Thus it's time for me to get in the spirit of the month a start representing, Damn It!!!

Thus today I hereby bequeath you with Buffy The Vampire Slayer Sarah Michelle Gellar as Harley Quinn, Woo Hoo!

Funny thing when I look at this, it makes me think Sarah Michelle would actually make a bad ass Harley. Can you imagine her getting up in your face crazy? I can, there are many endless possibilities to Ms. Gellar clowning around.

Think of this as Hollywood's missed opportunity.

We are in the final countdown to the most wonderful time of the year, that means more Halloween treats to come on Entertain Me...Boo!

Saturday Schwing!

Under My Umbrella...
Dan

Since I didn't give you your mid-week dose of male skin, I thought I would serve some up to you today. Hey, weekends were made to Schwing it, Schwing it good! 

Today, your Saturday Schwing comes n the form Dan who hails from London, England. I spied Dan while surfing Tye Briggs Favorite Hunks & Other Things. 

One of my favorite things that Tye does with models is interview them, I love finding out what makes them tick. I especially like when Tye asks them what made them decide to take it all off for the camera.

Dan does not disappoint with his straight forward answers. In fact a couple are quite sexy...

It's time to use your hands and click on the link below and let loose with a mighty Schwing!
