Saturday Sinema: Stagecoach

Hey, Minions I've got something for you to see it's the classic western Stagecoach. It made John Wayne a bonified movie star and put director John Ford on the path to legendary status.

This is a film I have heard of but never seen. However after reading my buddy Jay Jacobson's write-up about it on his classic movie blog I now have plans to see it. 

"Yes" Jay's passion for movies truly shines through on his blog. His knowledge is second to no one. It makes you want to check out these gems in the crown of Hollywood History.

So what are you waiting for??? Here's the link, click it!

100% That Bitch

100%
Lizzo

Here's Lizzo leaving the Bravo studios in NYC. Every time I see her I always think of the "100% That Bitch" from her song Truth Hurts.

While I've never taken a DNA test for it, I did hit the online promotion that calculated how much of a bitch I was and indeed I got 100%!

No real surprise, actually I'm quite proud of the fact. 

So heading into the weekend get in touch with your inner bitch Minions. Lizzo and myself demand it. 

But know this, me and Lizzo will out bitch all of you any day...100%

T.G.I.F!

Michael's Musings

"Just Let Go"
Michael Shinafelt

“Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives,” said the voice of Macdonald Carey, welcoming viewers to the “Days of Our Lives” soap opera -

While life is not a soap opera, time is something I've been thinking a lot about of late. Hence my latest ink as you can see in the self portrait above: "Just Let Go." I love how this phrase has many interpretations and it perfectly sums up where I'm at in life presently. Time is too fleeting not to: "Just Let Go" ya know???

Vive la France! It's Bastille Day Minions! The more you know...

This season on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: WTF Kyle?!?!

Every time I watch an Law & Order: SVU marathon and I see Amanda Rollins no good sister I think: Just Die!

Come together. Right now. Over me. Think about it, but not too much.

Did you ever think that perhaps corn is merely a banana ribbed for her pleasure???

Fascism is much worse than inflation

Look less for the "win" look more for the solution

With all the galaxies that exist do you truly think God is worrying about someone being gay?!?!

Woman Crush of the Week - Zendaya who made Emmy history this week for her three nominations for Euphoria. I F#cking love her!!!

People are surprised they are raging against the machine?

Does anyone feel the new pics of the universe make them look fat? Asking for a friend.

A larva marinated in the piss of Satan, discuss

Doubleplusgood (if you know, you know)

Sometimes I wished I could whip out the golden lasso of truth and use it on people

What would I find out about you if I did? Tell me here...

Hump Day & Chill

Ms. Weisz I Presume..
Rachel Weisz

While surfing the ole WWW this stunning image of Rachel Weisz came across my Twitter feed and it reminded me of the time I saw her at a movie premiere in Hollywood and how even more stunning she is IRL.

Thus we are going to Hump Day & Chill with things that are Rachel today. 

My favorite Rachel Weisz role? Evelyn Ann Thompson in the 2003 Neil LaBute film The Shape Of Things. If you haven't seen it, the less said about this indie going in the better. Let's put it this way Weisz is perfectly cast in a "you didn't see it coming" type of role opposite the ageless and sexy Paul Rudd.

She also happens to be married to one of the hunkiest men alive Daniel Craig aka Bond, James Bond.

I hereby decree today that we Hump Day & Chill to all that is Rachel Weisz, because I can...

What's your favorite Rachel Weisz role???

Eyes Of A Different Color

Look Into Her Eyes
Elizabeth Berkley

You've more than likely heard the term "horse of a different color" well today "eyes of a different color" is the new one, because guess what Minions?! It's National Different Colored Eyes Day...

To commemorate the day, straight outta Showgirls we have Elizabeth Berkley in the house! 

"Yes" Elizabeth has eyes of a different color as you can clearly see in the image above. One being half brown and half green and the other being fully green.

While I know Elizabeth is currently starring in a reboot of Saved By The Bell on Peacock, she will always be Nomi Malone the intrepid heroine of Showgirls to this blogger.

Hey, I love Jessie Spano as much as the next Gen Xer, but come on Showgirls is classic cinema on many levels. 

So raise your glasses (entendre intended) and celebrate the unique eyes of others while gazing upon them with envy.

Cheers!

Keep Calm And NFT

NFT'S 

Renowned photographer/director Chris Cuffaro, in partnership with musician, producer/artist Chris Arvan, announces the July 7 launch of their new NFT collection at Foundation.app/collection/chrisx2, featuring a dazzling visual collection of music’s most iconic performers.

 

The first images, set to drop July 7, will offer fans the unique opportunity to purchase their very own artwork uniquely created by Arvan from Cuffaro’s original live photos - from Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain to Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell, Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder and many more to come.
 

“We are so excited to introduce our first NFT collaboration of innovative artwork that spotlights music’s legendary artists in a whole new way while bringing more opportunities to this creative community, ” said Cuffaro of the online project.

 

Cuffaro also added, “Chris Arvan is an astonishing creative talent who has long been a fan of my photography, so late last year we decided it was high time to experiment with new ways to combine our talents to benefit music fans who want to own the original copy of these one-of-a-kind digital files and inspire more lucrative enterprises within this growing community.”

 

Chris Arvan says “I had been experimenting with ways of melding my artwork with Chris’ photography and keeping the spirit of the original photo he captured was very important to me. I finally arrived at what I felt was the perfect blend and the pieces are both art and photography combined, expanding on the energy of the shots with my own techniques. “

During his career, Arvan has used his creatively talents alongside several high-profile artists such as Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Hudgens, Sick Puppies, Aly & AJ, The Pussycat Dolls, Mellowdrone, and Jon Bates, and his work has been seen and heard in countless ad campaigns, films, movie trailers and television shows over the last two decades.

Stepping Out With Cardi B

I See London...
Cardi B

Here is Cardi B in London looking quite chic I might add, and I just did. Confession time...when Cardi first hit the scene I was dismissive at first. Honestly I tend to be that way with rappers of all genders in general. While rap has it's place, it is not my thing for the most part.

Then something happened, I started to read things that guided me past the music and to the woman herself, who is quite funny and just plain down and interesting.

Of course she absolutely had me at W.A.P. one of the best female empowerment songs ever, not to mention clever, cheeky and just plain fun!

Oh, and let's not forget her foray into the Gay Pride Parade where she hung out with her LGBTQ fans after.

Thus I wanna step out with Cardi B sometime, you know hit the town with her. Or perhaps have an at home hang with her. I'm sure she would be dope company either way and then some...

Mic Drop!!!
