Film Buff Friday: The Power And The Glory

In the 1930s, a cynical Catholic priest is sent to Mexico to preach in post-revolution Mexico: a cleric who risks his life by continuing to conduct the Catholic Mass in secret after the totalitarian government has outlawed the Catholic Church. In order to confer the Christian sacraments, the priest must have wine but his attempts to obtain wine will call attention to his clandestine activities.

Michael's Musings

"How Shall I Use My Powers Today?"
Michael Shinafelt

"Good and evil, I'll turn it loose" - Good-N-Evil, Traci Lords

We all have the capability to do anything, ever wonder what keeps us good? Ever wonder what makes someone evil? I mean we all have dark thoughts yet most of us do not act on them, we choose to be angels instead of demons. 

But ever so often we turn loose that inner demon in ways that manifest in a devilish time! OK, time to turn mine loose Minions...!!!

There once was a family name "Hooker" seriously, I came across their family plot after yoga at Hollywood Forever Cemetery this past Tuesday

Are you there God? It's me, Cornholio...

Ever notice how everyone at Costco is actively rushing around like it's Armageddon? 

RHOBH the only place where it was impossible for Denise Richards to have been telling the truth and every car Erika Jayne's husband Tom owns flips 100 times

Tis the season for Vampire Flamingos

If you haven't heard Lil' Nas X's cover of Dolly Parton's Jolene listen to it, and listen to it now!

Speaking of Dolly, often I ask myself: WWDPD (What Would Dolly Parton Do?)

Hump Day & Chill

With No Time To Die opening October 8th I thought we would Hump Day & Chill to Daniel Craig as Bond, James Bond one last time.

This is Craig's swan song as 007 so let's take a walk down memory lane with Daniel strutting his stuff in that fantasy inducing, iconic blue swimsuit.

Hey, who doesn't recall the moment Craig graced the screen wearing that number? I ask you? Any answers, any questions???

So kick back, and enjoy the last Hump Day & Chill of September Minions!

Bottoms Up!

Cheers!
Gerard Butler

Booze! Is the werd today, because guess what Minions it's National Drink Beer Day...Bottoms Up! (sideways, down, perhaps zig zag, whatever)

Thus of course we have an Irishman here to represent. One Mr. Gerard Butler, yeah that hunk.

I'm actually imbibing in beer as I write this, Corona to be exact. I'm supportive that way.

So grab a bottle and give a yell, shake a beer for old Rydell!!!

Here comes Corona number two (what does number two do???)

National Drink Beer Day, yeah, it's a thing on the WWW -

In The Pink

Lizzo Beating

Rolling into the week I am feeling "in the pink," translation: I'm getting down my bad self! That's correct Minions I'm just like Lizzo who always gets down with her bad self and is literally "in the pink" at the Global Citizen Live concert in NYC.

Lizzo and are both 100% that bitch today, in the best way possible. 

Hey, there's nothing wrong with feeling ones self and feeling good about that. Now is there? Say "Yes" there you go see how easy that was???

I for one am energized and ready to rumble. Let's get this week started!

What's on your agenda?!

Double Vision

Twinning!
Brooke Shields & Grier Henchy

Do you see what I see? On the surface it is Brooke Shields and her daughter Grier Henchy attending Milan Fashion Week. Look closer...

"Yes" this mother and daughter are doppelgangers, look-alikes if you will, resulting in a case of: Double Vision.

Seriously though Grier looks like her Mom in her heyday when she was a teen model and movie sensation in such films as Pretty Baby, The Blue Lagoon & Endless Love.

There are many of you reading this who I am sure don't recall this time in entertainment history, but those who do, get it.

Wonder if Grier has any interest in following in the footsteps of her iconic mother? Discuss...

Current Mood

Forbidden Fruit
Megan Fox & Kourtney Kardashian

"I naturally want to be provocative" - Iggy Azalea 

In cased you haven't figured it out by the photo and the quote the Current Mood I am feeling is: Provocative.

Those of you who know me, know much like quote from Iggy that to provoke is in my nature. It's an automatic thing that happens. It flows through me like the force in Star Wars, hey I was born this way.

When I provoke it's definitely sexual in context. Thus the photo of Megan Fox and Kourtney Kardashian from their SKIMS ad campaign. It's like Alexis & Eve taking a bite out of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.

I believe I have made my mood and intentions clear.

Bend it like me today and let loose your inner provocateur...
