Hump Day & Chill

Michelle Yeoh

Alright we must Hump Day & Chill today to legend Michelle Yeoh winning her first Best Actress Golden Globe at 60 years young for Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Michele initially rose to fame in a series of Hong Kong action films where she performed her own stunts. She gained international recognition for the likes of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies.

While I did not watch the Golden Globes I have an even worse confession that I am not too proud of. I have yet to see Everything Everywhere All At Once! It's not that I have no interest, and all my friends who have seen it tell me they know it is something I would like. I just haven't gotten to it yet.

Thus Michelle's win is definitely the catalyst that will make it a priority for me to view.

Congrats Michelle! Time to Hump Day & Chill Minions...

Marquis de Sade's Justine

An Erotic Masterpiece from the Tortured Pen of the Marquis De Sade

Romina Power (18-year-old daughter of Tyrone Power) stars as Justine, a nubile young virgin cast out of a French orphanage and thrust into a depraved world of prostitution, predatory lesbians, a fugitive murderess (Mercedes McCambridge), bondage, branding, and one supremely sadistic monk (an outrageous performance by Jack Palance). It's a twisted tale of strange desires, perverse pleasures and the ultimate corruption of innocence as told by the Marquis de Sade.

JUSTINE is one of the most lavish and bizarre erotic shockers ever made by the notorious Jess Franco (99 WOMEN), bursting with wanton nudity, sexual perversion, and an all-star cast that also includes Akim Tamiroff (TOUCH OF EVIL), Maria Rohm (EUGENIE) and Klaus Kinski (NOSFERATU) as the Marquis de Sade. Also known as JUSTINE AND JULIET, this infamous film is now presented in a brand-new 4K restoration from the uncensored original camera negative with Dolby Vision HDR and loaded with Extras, including the alternate DEADLY SANCTUARY cut in HD for the first time ever!

Just Because...M3gan & Leatherface

M3ganface?!
M3gan & Leatherface

Just Because I really liked the movie, Just Because it is a huge hit at 30 million it's opening weekend and Just Because it's Monday and we all need levity here is an image M3gan & Leatherface photo shopped by author Donnie Goodman.

"Yes" I, like many of you, saw M3gan this weekend and loved it. It was fun, creepy and best of all quite self aware of how silly it actually was which made the movie what it is and then some.

So when I came across this image of Leatherface trying to cut into M3gan's success, well naturally I had to post it, well, Just Because...

Remember Minions, M3gan is family and try to have a terrific week!

The Spirit of 76

Today I choose to remember David Bowie on what would have been his 76th Birthday. Yeah, I know I rarely if ever do this, but there are very few people who have had this much influence over my life.

He was my very first concert that I went and saw without my parents. I have also been lucky enough to have met him. He came into the legendary Tower Records on the Sunset Strip when I worked there back in the day. He was everything you'd imagine he'd be, truly an amazing, humble being.

As I look back on my life, I know part of who I am today is because of Mr. Bowie. 

"There's a Starman waiting in the sky, He'd like to come and meet us, But he thinks he'd blow our minds" 

Keep on shining Starman, consider my mind blown.

Ding Dong

Well as most of you RHOBH (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills) fans have heard Lisa Rinna is out for season thirteen. 

"Yes" I know LVP (Lisa Vanderpump) posted my "ding dong" byline on Social Media, and it's accurate, not to mention funny!

Once upon a time Rinna was a agent of chaos in a loveable, F#ck Up type of way. Somewhere along the trail of breadcrumbs she left she evolved into someone quite malevolent and increasingly problematic. 

Let's face it Minions she was downright uncomfortable and despicable to watch for a few years now. Especially this past season.

While I am sure some are sorry to see her go, I for one am not.

Hey Rinna, don't forget your broomstick on the way out...!!!

Michael's Musings

Pictures Of You
Michael Shinafelt

"I've been looking so long at these pictures of you, That I almost believe that they're real" - Pictures of You, The Cure

Pictures of You by The Cure has been my earworm for the past three days. Thus I poured over the lyrics in detail to find out if there was anything of significance. Well I found some, for me at least it is all about parting ways with who I used to be and welcoming who I am now. Yeah, I know, pretty deep for me, time to head to the wading pool!!!

FYI I can love me better than you can, the more you know...

Toddlers are suppose to run around the house, not run the house

I'm 100% going to see M3gan since the movie is a 96% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

Which brings up the question what will they call M3gan 3???

Fine. I'll be house speaker, sheesh!

Did you know the song Short Dick Man by Gillette has a bawdy remix? Excuse me?!?!

The phrase "I laughed my ass off" has got to go. No one has ever literally done this, thus it is annoying when they say they have

Stop fighting your demons and start working with them. Demon love Minions, it's a thing

Woman Crush of the Week - Kelli Giddish. Law & Order: SVU returns tonight for the first time without her as Detective Amanda Rollins...sigh 

Thoughts on the trailer for the Evil Dead Rise? I personally can't wait!!!

Post rain Los Angeles is the most gorgeous place on earth, fight me

Boo F#cking Hoo Department, how may I direct your call

Miley Cyrus & Dolly Parton, that's it, they are all anyone needed for NYE

Today seems like a good day to....wait for it...

Continue waiting for it here -
