Hump Day & Chill

Put On Your Best Sunday Hat...
Jennifer Tilly 

"I am under no obligation to make sense of you" Mad Hatter, Alice in Wonderland

"Yes" Minions today we are going to Hump Day & Chill to Jennifer Tilly's hat. Thus you have no obligation to make sense of it or me. I'm simply in love with Jennifer's love of hats. Get over it.

Jennifer's top hat is so "very" that I just had to share the hat love with you all.

"You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are" Mad Hatter, Alice in Wonderland

OMG! More haberdashery from yours truly. I think I've gone mad as a hatter, hat crazy, talk to the hat, born to hat jive.

Before I become more of an ass-hat let's just tip our brims and Hump Day & Chill by putting on the Ritz fantastic shall we? We shall!

This HD & C was brought to by sheer lunacy, I now need to brand a hat with that moniker!

Leave your hat on with Jennifer at -

Cool Breeze

A Wise Tumbleweed Once Said...
Keanu Reeves & SpongeBob

For some funky reason I am feeling like a "cool breeze" in summer today. Not of the winter variety we are having at present.

To me nothing says that like Keanu Reeves as a wise tumbleweed named Sage in SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run. Not to mention that the literal translation of Mr. Reeves first name is Hawaiian for, well, "cool breeze," naturally.

"Yes" Minions Keanu's destiny as one of the coolest human beings to walk the planet was ordained from birth.

So how does that make you feel? Personally it makes me feel one with the vibe. 

Just go with it!

Gonna Tell My Nieces & Nephews This Was Fleetwood Mac

Flamingo Road
Christina Raines, Howard Duff, Morgan Fairchild &
Mark Harmon

You've all seen them online people posting fun images saying they are going to tell the upcoming generation that they are someone other than they are. The thing about this is while it is amusing and often times funny it is also kind of an unfortunate commentary on how the Internet can pervert and twist the truth.

We've seen what that can do, politics anyone? Yeah, I thought not. 

Which brings me to what this really is a nifty prime time soap called Flamingo Road that ran two years from 1980 - 1982.  

Here's the 411: Based on the novel and 1949 film of the same name, this prime-time soap detailed the lives of haves and have-nots in the sleepy Southern hamlet Truro, Florida. The haves live in huge mansions on Flamingo Road, while the rest of the characters did anything (blackmail, murder, voodoo) to obtain that address as well.

The drama won over critics, but never got enough of an audience to stay on the air. Too bad, it's a personal favorite of mine and should have ran for at least the requisite five seasons so I and the others who loved it could still see it in syndication.

C'est La Vie! 

PS despite certain misgivings about doing so, I'm still telling my Nieces & Nephews this was Fleetwood Mac. I like to have fun and know they are intelligent enough to discern fact from fiction.

Mic Drop!

Current Mood

Don't Call Me "Baby." I'm Not Your "Baby."
Michelle Pfeiffer

I follow @NotableHistory on Twitter which serves up Hollywood Vintage Photo realness. Well when this classic of Michelle Pfeiffer came through from the film Scarface I stopped and took it in for a bit, it gave me all the feels, a mood if you will.

Thus my Current Mood about 2022 is capsulized at this moment in time by this vintage image of Michelle Pfeiffer portraying Elvira Hancock in Scarface.

It's all the explanation I'm going to offer, or give, so don't ask for anything more, capice?

All one has to do is take the image in to get a read off it and understand innately where I am coming from.

Hey, if you know, know, now it's time to say goodbye...

Goodbye.

Film Buff Friday: The Women

Ever heard of the 1939 classic film The Women? Well now you have, right here, right now. The Women is most notable for many reasons the least of them not being it features a cast of all, well, women, naturally. 

Director,  George Cukor was known in Hollywood as a "Woman's Director" because of his talent for drawing compelling performances from "difficult actresses" i.e. women with strong personalities on and off screen.

He is said to have discovered Katherine Hepburn.

Now the time has come Minions to leave you in the more than capable hands of my buddy Jay Jacobson and his Classic Movie Blog. 

"Yes" Jay is the one to turn to when your thirst of film knowledge is whetted, happy link clicking!
