What Timothee Chalamet Does During A Pandemic?

Timothee Chalamet

Ever wonder what Timothee Chalamet has been doing during the Pandemic? Well Mr. Chalamet recently took to his Instagram and stated "I've been playing with myself all day."

How's that for honesty? Well it turns out Timothee, who stars in the upcoming adaptation of Dune was quite literally doing just that "playing with himself." 

"Yes" Minions he was playing with his Dune action figure based on him from the upcoming movie. I know what you all were thinking and that I am sure is also true as well. 

Here is a photo he posted of the action figure posed on his coffee table who looks like he's about to head into an epic journey across the living room.

There you have it, the secret is out, like all of us, Timothee Chalamet plays with himself all day during a Pandemic.

Mic Drop!

Mary Poppins

Mary Poppins
Dick Van Dyke & Julie Andrews

Whilst getting ready to engage in my day an E-mail came in that my buddy Jay Jacobson had a new post on his Classic Movie Blog. This weeks post turned out to none other than Mary Poppins starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke.

It made me remember how wonderful the film is and how much I enjoyed it when I was a kid, and as an adult. It also reminded me of the time I played Michael Banks in a stage production of it when I was in the second grade. "Yes" that's a true story.

Mainly, with all that being said, it made me mostly remember that there is still magic in this world to be found and experienced. 

Read Jay's expert breakdown of this truly timeless film and it's enduring popularity...have a magical day with Mary!

Hello Monday!

Mellow Yellow
Zendaya

Hello Monday! Yesterday the Oscars happened, with the first red carpet at an awards show since the Pandemic. 

While I am not going to critique the show, I will state that I loved Union Station as the setting for it. Lots of ambiance and history that location has and it served as a great backdrop to the to do. Now back to our regularly scheduled program, the return of the red carpet.

It was great seeing stars trotting out their Sunday best and striking a pose for photographers again. While there was a lot of great Oscar fashion I am kicking off the week with my favorite, which you must have guessed by now since there is a photo of it.

That's correct Minions it's Zendaya in Valentino, she looks amazing and yellow is obviously one color that really works on her.

Hello Monday indeed...

Oscar Sunday

In a year that was different to say the least, expect nothing less from this year's Academy Awards telecast. From what I understand under the guidance of Steven Soderbergh the to do is going to play out like, well, a movie. 

Hey, I am tuning in mainly to see what they do with the broadcast, I've only seen one of the nominated films (Mank) - I think it's smart to make the show itself the thing, rather than the actual awards.

Below is a list of the nominees so you, and I, can play along. 

Smiles everyone, smiles and Happy Oscar Sunday!
