Michael's Musings

It's Twisty Thursday!
Michael Shinafelt

Remember the movie Freaky Friday with Jamie Lee Curtis & Lindsay Lohan, pretty great huh? Well that's sort of the place I'm at except it's Thursday. Thus let's refer to this day, August 26th 2021 as Twisty Thursday! 

What's that? No I haven't switched bodies with anyone, but there simply seems to be an air of possibilities floating around, like you know, anything can happen. Yeah, I just gave context to the Freaky Friday reference. Time to carry on with our bad selves...

Apparently you can not joke with your friends on Facebook like you can IRL. A friend of mine went back to blonde and I commented: "Yay the whore look" (something she would have laughed at) Boom! Gone, just like that!

Just say "Yes" to Butt Drugs

Let me go on record and state - I love the Amy Schumer Tampax commercial

Grow up and stop referring to people as "Karen"... and say c#nt like and adult

Mantra For Today: Baa Raw Ewe (if you know, you know)

Sutton & Garcelle on RHOBH = The Dream Team 

Just Vote NO on the California recall of Gavin Newsome, my NO vote has been signed, sealed, delivered and counted 😎

Feelings are such a scam...the more you know 

Woman Crush of the Week - Lizzo her latest Rumors is the number 1 rap song in the country! Get it Queen!!!

Stop using the word invite when referring to work meetings. This isn't a Birthday Party...

Take time for something of a homicidal nature (bet you didn't see the coming)

Congrats to the cast & crew of Women Behind Bars (many who are friends of mine) it is now streaming on Broadway HD https://www.broadwayhd.com/

John Cena just ran naked through my mind

Wanna know what other twisty things are in the corners of my mind?!

Hump Day & Chill

"Science fiction (uh uh) double feature, Doctor X (uh uh) will build a creature" - Science Fiction Double Feature, The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Tonight's the night, that's correct Minions American Horror Story: Double Feature premieres and it's Wednesday thus we shall Hump Day & Chill today by getting our horror on. Oh, and "Yes" some science fiction as well from the looks of the aliens in the trailer.

Remember double features when you were a kid? While I am sure some of you don't many of us living legends do. They were always a blast and mainly happened at Drive-Ins, oh those days of yore.

I plan to bask in the gory (not a typo) of AHS and enjoy the ride. What's that? How much do I love AHS you ask? Well honestly I am proceeding with caution as usually it runs out of steam after the first three episodes as it never seems to know what to do with the meat in the sandwich leading up to the conclusion.

This being stated I would imagine that each story contained in the double feature will likely be 5 or 6 episodes in length and that bodes quite well as to me that is the perfect amount of time to tell a tight concise story for any AHS season.

So kick back, Hump Day & Chill and buckle up to things that go bump in the night...!

"Candyman, Candyman, Candyman"

Who's That Girl???
Virginia Madsen

"Who can take a sunrise (who can take a sunrise) Sprinkle it with dew (sprinkle it with dew)" The Candy Man, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory 

In case you haven't heard the 411 there's a reboot of the 1992 horror flick Candyman starring Tony Todd & Virginia Madsen opening this Friday. "Yes" really.

Good news for fans of the first go, Tony Todd is returning as Candyman. While Ms. Madsen is not returning she decided to get cheeky and pose with this bus stop billboard of the upcoming to do. Hey, Hellen expired in the first round and no one renewed her for this one.

She captioned it: "Well hello there..." 

That's so Mae West.

My thoughts? Glad you asked. I truly enjoyed the first one, it is definitely one of the better modern horror yarns. This being stated my expectations for this Friday's reboot are low. Why you ask? I'm glad you did, for one thing not one review has been published as of yet. Not a good sign.

Will I ever seen it? Somewhere down the line I'm sure I will. But it can wait.

In the meanwhile I'm living for this photo of Madsen. She's one of my favorite actors. 

Mic Drop!

Diva Mood

The Tweet Of Cher
Cher & Madonna

Diva:  "a famous and successful woman who is very attractive and fashionable" Merriam-Webster

Today I woke up feeling myself, like, well a diva - minus the woman part. We men can be divas too, trust me.

I guess Cher was feeling it as well. Part of my morning routine is to get on Twitter and what was the first Tweet I spied? One from Cher with her and another diva Madonna with the simple caption: Me & Madge.

Hey when you are as famous and successful as these two that's all you need. 

Thus the tone is set for the week Minions, let loose your inner diva, like me. Feel good about yourself, while feeling your bad self. Yeah that's the ticket to ride...

Obsession

What's Your Obsession???
Margot Robbie & Kristen Stewart

What do you get when you cross an angel with a villain? You get the internet's latest obsession, this photo of Margot Robbie and Kristen Stewart is currently fueling the fantasy of many on the WWW.

Word has it that said image was taken at a 2018 Chanel event, both women are ambassadors for the brand. Well it resurfaced this week and is capturing the imagination of thousands.

Inspiring such comments as: "Someone said this is two ends of the Lesbian fashion spectrum and I can't stop thinking about it"

To this one: "I f#cking know Kristen Stewart has a huge f#cking crush on Margot Robbie do NOT tell me she does not"

Well, there you have it. 

So, what's crossing your mind right here, right now while taking this sight in?

PRE-ORDER NOW

"Absolutely not for the squeamish… Romero and Argento fans are not likely to be disappointed by these tales of the supernatural!” – Los Angeles Times

A Double Dose of Terror from the Directors of DAWN OF THE DEAD and SUSPIRIA

The Masters of Modern Horror -George Romero and Dario Argento - bring you an unprecedented pair of shockers inspired by the tales of Edgar Allan Poe. In Romero's The Facts In The Case Of Mr. Valdemar, a conniving wife (Adrienne Barbeau of THE FOG) and her lover use a hypnotic trance to embezzle a fortune from her dying husband, only to receive some chilling surprises from beyond the grave. Then in Argento's The Black Cat, a deranged crime scene photographer (Harvey Keitelof FROM DUSK TILL DAWN) is driven to brutal acts of madness and murder by his girlfriend's new pet. But will this cunning feline deliver a final sickening twist of its own?

Martin Balsam (PSYCHO), E.G. Marshall (CREEPSHOW), John Amos (THE BEASTMASTER) and Tom Atkins (NIGHT OF THE CREEPS) co-star in this wild horror hit that also features grisly makeup effects by Tom Savini (MANIAC). Blue Underground's acclaimed restoration of TWO EVIL EYES, scanned in 4K 16-bit from the original camera negative, is now presented with Dolby Vision HDR and a new Dolby Atmos audio mix, packed with hours of Extras!
