"Little things remind me of you, Cheap cologne and that damn song too" Jukebox, The Flirts

Yesterday I took in a little afternoon delight at my favorite local watering hole Akbar. What's that you say? What did I have? Well in this grotesque heatwave of 100 plus degrees in the City of Angels I had a couple of oh so refreshing margaritas. 

BTW the jukebox there is eclectic and awesome!!! Let's get to it Minions!

FYI I love a good shag, don't you? (think about it, but not too much)

Ricky Martin has filed a $20 million lawsuit against his 21-year-old nephew for harassment and extortion, after his nephew withdrew his claims that Martin had an inappropriate relationship with him and had stalked him. Did anyone really believe the allegations to begin with?!

Hump Day & Chill

She's Talking About You Three!
l-r
Lisa Rinna, Erika Jayne & Diana Jenkins

Every Wednesday I Hump Day & Chill to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Hey, it's the only housewives show I watch, my guilty pleasure so cut me some slack Minions.

This being stated last week's episode made me very uncomfortable. The undeserved ganging up on Sutton Stracke. The quite free way Diana and Erika called her a mid section with a "C" and laughed. Yeah, that was pretty vile stuff and not what I signed up for. 

Will I Hump Day & Chill to RHOBH tonight. "Yes" of course I will! I can't wait to see what Kathy and Kyle (the Richards sisters) have a falling out about. I'm sure whatever it is I will be team Kathy 100%.

Speaking of Kathy see the meme above? This is based on Ms. Hilton's brilliant and sometimes subtle shade throwing. 

All the women seemed puzzled when Kathy said there were three things she would never want to be called: a liar, a thief or a pedophile. The first two no one thought anything of, it was pedophile that threw the ladies. 

Well remember Kathy is the Queen of Subtle Shade and I think this meme sums up what and who Kathy was addressing perfectly. 

TTFN, Hump Day & Chill Minions!

A Fugitive From The Past

This September Arrow Brings One of Japan’s Most Important Cinematic Works to Home Video for the First Time   Japanese director Tomu Uchida directed 70 films over a career that spanned nearly 50 years. The crowning moment of Uchida's legendary career would come in 1965 with the release of the epic crime drama, A Fugitive from the Past. On September 27, Arrow brings this stunning masterpiece to home video outside of Japan for the first time. In 1947, a freak typhoon sends a passenger ferry running between Hokkaido and mainland Japan plunging to the ocean depths, with hundreds of lives lost. During the chaos, three men are witnessed fleeing a burning pawnshop in the Hokkaido port town of Iwanai. The police suspect theft and arson, and when Detective Yumisaka (Junzaburo Ban) discovers the burned remains of a boat and the corpses of two men, he sets about tracking the shadowy third figure. Meanwhile, the mysterious Takichi Inukai (Rentaro Mikuni) takes shelter with a prostitute, Yae (Sachiko Hidari), a brief encounter that will come to define both of their lives. A decade later, long after the trail has gone cold, Yumisaka is called back by his successor Detective Ajimura (Ken Takakura) as two new dead bodies are found.  A Fugitive from the Past was shot in gorgeous monochrome photography that delivers a grittiness that imitates newsreels of the day. This cinematography coupled with Uchida's use of postwar Japanese landscapes helps create a crime drama that touches on the massive social upheaval and unspoken legacies of the war that was still fresh on everyone's mind. An adaptation of Tsutomu Minakami's 1700-page novel, A Fugitive from the Past is one of the most popular and critically esteemed films in all of Japanese cinema. Kinema Junpo, Japan's oldest film magazine with origins dating back to 1919, has repeatedly heaped praise upon the film. In 1995, the magazine declared A Fugitive from the Past to be the 6th greatest Japanese film ever made. Three years later in 1999, the magazine bumped the film up to number three. Arrow's Blu-ray release features a restored 183-minute-long cut of the film with the original uncompressed mono audio. Special features include an introduction by writer and curator Jasper Sharp, scene-specific commentaries from leading Japanese film scholars, the original theatrical trailer, and more. First pressings of the release include a fully illustrated collector’s booklet featuring writing on the film by David Baldwin and Inuhiko Yomota.
