Caption This...

What's Your Favorite Scary Movie?

So this photo emerged from the Elton John Oscar Party that benefits his AIDS foundation. 

"Yes" Minions it's some RHOBH alum Mauricio Umansky, Harry Hamlin, Lisa Rinna, Diana Jenkins & Asher Monroe. 

Charity makes for strange bedfellows, no that isn't my caption for the photo, although it is a good one fer sure.

Mine is "Dinner Party In Hell"

Jamie Lee Curtis For The Win

Yes!!!
Jamie Lee Curtis

I predicted Jamie Lee Curtis would win Best Supporting Actress for Everything Everywhere All At Once at the Oscars and I was correct indeed! (it's clear by Angela Bassett's reaction she thought otherwise.)

"Yes" I am a big fan of Jamie's and not too coincidentally a HUGE fan of the Halloween movies starring her. She's been long overdue for this kind of recognition and by damn she finally got it.

Of course she gave a heartfelt and amazing speech, that's always the icing on the cake of these shows, the speeches (for the most part.)

While I am a fan of her work outside of the Halloween series as well, one of the best parts of her speech was when she thanked the fans of the franchise. Rightfully so, it's because of the success of the 2018 Halloween reboot that she had a career resurgence that opened doors for new opportunities including the role that lead to her winning an Oscar.

Not only did I predict she'd win, I was rooting for her!!!

Michael's Musings

Michael Shinafelt

No full column today, many things on my mind of late. My Mom's Birthday was yesterday it's the first one she hasn't been with me and my family.

Lots of memories came flooding back, especially those of my recent visit with her at the end of January just prior to her passing. Lots of self reflection too.

Today's Musing came out of all of that.

Have a successful day!

Hump Day & Chill

Infamous
Janet Leigh

With the Oscars coming up this Sunday and everyone buzzing about Jamie Lee Curtis being nominated in the same category as her late Mom Janet Leigh (Best Supporting Actress for those not in the know) - well I couldn't help but think we all needed a collective Hump Day & Chill to Janet in her Oscar nominated, iconic role of Marion Crane in Alfred Hitchcock's classic Psycho!!!

Even though Janet lost to Shirley Jones in Elmer Gantry, she actually won. Seriously think about it. No one really remembers Elmer Gantry or Jones' win, but everyone still talks about Psycho and the infamous shower scene to this day.

"Yes" Minions Janet Leigh is gangsta! 

So I'm going to break out my copy of Psycho and Hump Day & Chill to this masterpiece of filmmaking, join me???
