Hump Day & Chill

No Longer Mythical
Jamie Lee Curtis

Well here's something to Hump Day & Chill to, Jamie Lee Curtis as a Unicorn. Actually she may have thought her ever getting an Oscar Nomination was the equivalent of he mythical creature. But after all these years (and a few nomination worthy performances prior) Jamie Lee finally got herself an Oscar Nom in the Supporting Actress Category for Everything Everywhere All At Once!!!

Thus we are going to celebrate by having a Hump Day & Chill to this most excellent news.

Fingers crossed that she could possibly take home the gold dude, but the odds seem to favor Angela Bassett. 

It's an honor just to be nominated, right??? Yeah, right...

Team Jamie Lee!!!

Today's Your Birthday!

HBD!
Mariska Hargitay

OK, while I rarely do a celebrity Birthday post, today I felt compelled to do so because today is none other than Commanding Officer Olivia Benson of Law & Order: SVU's Birthday!

In basic terms Happy Birthday Mariska Hargitay!!! Law & Order: SVU is in it's 24th season and .happens to be my favorite show on TV, well, ever actually. So how could I not wish Mariska a HBD? I simply had to.

Doesn't the Birthday grrrrrl look great holding her People's Choice Award for the Drama Star of 2022? A testament to her and the shows enduring popularity. 

Born January 23rd in Santa Monica, CA to the legendary Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay, Mariska is 59 today.

BTW looking forward to this week's episode of SVU, well because it looks like Benson & Stabler finally seal the deal...

Sunday Funday

Bringing Herself Flowers
Diane Keaton

While scrolling through my Instagram feed something caught my eye, a video of none other than Oscar winning actress Diane Keaton getting down to Flowers by Miley Cyrus!

Hence I had to take a screen shot post haste and do a, what else? Sunday Funday blog around it.

I actually was not following Ms. Keaton on IG, it was one of those things that showed up in my feed because people I follow and who follow me liked it. Well thanks Instagram your pushy ways did gain Diane (as I'm going to refer to her from now on) a new follower.

Who knew Diane was so much fun?! 

Hey, Diane call me and let's "do lunch"

Check out Diane's cooler than you'll ever be video of her cutting footloose on IG...

The Vagrant

HE'S NOT HOME ALONE! The 90s cult classic is back! Directed by Chris Walas - FX genius of Gremlins and The Fly - The Vagrant is a demented black comedy starring cult icons Bill Paxton (Aliens, Twister), Michael Ironside (Scanners, Starship Troopers), Colleen Camp (Death Game, Clue) and Marshall Bell (Freddy's Revenge, Total Recall) in a grimy blend of satire and grisly terror. Mild-mannered financial clerk Graham Krakowski buys a run-down starter home only to discover a vagrant, living in the empty lot across the street, keeps appearing inside. Attempts to remove the homeless man lead to a feud that spirals out of control and tests Graham's sanity as the vagrant engages him in twisted mind games, defiling his home, and framing him for gruesome murders. Beloved character actor Bill Paxton stepped up to leading man status in The Vagrant and proved his extraordinary range in a role that runs the gamut of emotions and climbs to stratospheric heights of craziness. Newly restored from the original camera negative The Vagrant is a one of a kind movie that deserves a place in any cult film collection.

Infinity Pool

While many of you await the next Marvel movie or mind numbing blockbuster. I get excited over films like Infinity Pool. 

Opening next Friday Infinity Pool comes from the mind of Brandon Cronenberg ("Yes" David's son) and it goes something along these lines -

"Guided by a seductive and mysterious woman, a couple on vacation venture outside the resort grounds and find themselves in a culture filled with violence, hedonism and untold horror. A tragic accident soon leaves them facing a zero tolerance policy for crime: either you'll be executed, or, if you're rich enough to afford it, you can watch yourself die instead."

Not to mention it stars one of my favorite actors Mia Goth and the yummy Alexander Skarsgard.

You can keep your Marvel movies and your Avatar type of whatever it is. This where I will next Friday!
