Giant
"A critical and box-office success, “Giant” earned ten Academy Award nominations (winning one), and set the record as Warner Brothers’ highest grossing film ever (a record it held until the late 1970s). Decades later, the American Film Institute (AFI) named it the 82nd Greatest American Movie of All-Time. This mighty film is one you certainly don’t want to miss." - Jay Jacobson
I agree with this 100% I have seen it and you truly don't want to miss it. Head on over to my buddy Jay Jacobson's Classic Movie Blog for his in depth thoughts & facts on this masterpiece of cinema.

"Hopelessly Devoted To You"
AUSTRALIA DAY ANNOUNCEMENT! THE ORION EXPERIENCE COVERS “HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU” BY OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN’S POWERHOUSE BALLAD FROM GREASE SOUNDTRACK
Latest Single From Upcoming Covers Record CosmiCovers, Pays Homage to Newton-John and Fellow Australian Producer John Farrar with Reworked Upbeat Duet Single Set for February 24
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Orion Experience is excited to announce, on Australia Day no less, the release of their first single of 2023, a cover of Olivia Newton-John’s “Hopelessly Devoted to You” from the motion picture Grease. Click here to presave the track upon release Friday February 24th.
This latest single from The Orion Experience’s (T.O.E.) upcoming album of cover songs, CosmiCovers pays homage to Olivia Newton-John. So many of T.O.E.’s musical influences come from the land down under, it only seemed right to celebrate the uniqueness of Aussie pop by covering this track. Reimagined with a Motown groove, band members Linda XO and Orion Simprini worked out Stevie Wonder inspired melodies, with a Jackson 5-like rhythm section. Lead guitar player, Reef Roxx laid down an Afro-Cuban style lick that is impossible not to dance to. Like all great cover songs, The Orion Experience wanted to pay tribute to the original work, written by legendary Australian producer John Farrar, while adding their own distinct style.
We challenge all you Rydell High School T-Birds to a drag race at Thunder Road if this cover doesn’t get you on the dance floor for Vince Fontaine’s National Bandstand. Thursday, January 26, 2023

| Bought Myself Some Flowers Michael Shinafelt |
Flowers by Miley Cyrus has been my earworm since it dropped. Honestly it's one of the best pop songs ever and propels Ms. Cyrus to even bigger heights than the considerable ones she has already scaled, and that's saying something!
Anyway I don't think I need to carry on further about it, nuff said, it's time to nip the topic in the bud (pun intended.)

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!!!

| 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...
