Hump Day & Chill

Choose Your Warrior

With horror movies being a hot ticket at the box office, not to mention timeless, I thought it would be a scary good time to Hump Day & Chill to a gallery of horror villains and pick a favorite.

I don't care what you were taught as a kid growing up, but it's OK to play favorites in my world. Thus I will tell you mine.

Here goes, although I love the Scream franchise, Ghostface is always someone different, so the icon isn't really a true villain, more like a personae.

I also like most of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, but Freddy is not frightening enough for me. But he is a whole lotta fun!

Jason has never been frightening to me but I have enjoyed a Friday The 13th outing on occasion, mainly the first and second one. The rest...

My fave? Michael Myers, he is the only one who ever truly terrified me, recently not so much. But the original 1978 Halloween left me freaked out that his white face would suddenly appear in the dark and he'd start coming for me.

So it's time to Hump Day & Chill by picking a villain whose team you want to join...do it and do it now Minions!!!

Knife Drop!

Current Mood

Wisdom
Halle Berry

I know given my Spring post yesterday that it's going to compound an impression that I am a well of negativity. Not really, I am a well of personal power to be precise.

Thus this post by Halle Berry on her Instagram page reflects my Current Mood.

Not aimed at anything or anyone specific it's simply a whole attitude and lifestyle, and there is nothing malicious about it. 

It is what it is, and I am who I am...

First Day Of Spring

What Spring???

Today is officially the first day of Spring. It certainly doesn't feel like it, the weather in Los Angeles is rainy and cold. 

Thus my current contentious attitude about the whole farce.

Hoping you are somewhere where it's nice and springy!!!

Sunday Funday

What A Drag...
Lady Gaga

When I first spotted this image on the WWW I thought it was Travis Bickle straight outta Martin Scorsese's classic Taxi Driver.

Upon further examination it turns out to be the one and only Lady Gaga dressed as a man. Dude looks like a lady Minions.

Gaga is not a stranger to taking on many looks and toying with perceptions. Thus everyday is like Sunday Funday with Ms. Thang.

Our Lady is currently shooting the sequel to the mega hit Joker movie that starred Joaquin Phoenix titled - Joker: Folie a Deux. Oh, and it's a musical, naturally, or not so naturally.

Color me intrigued.

Big Big Love

BELINDA CARLISLE TEAMS UP WITH DIANE WARREN TO UNVEIL FIRST NEW POP SINGLE RELEASE SINCE 1997!

“BIG BIG LOVE”

STREAM / SHARE / DOWNLOAD THE SINGLE HERE

WATCH THE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO HERE

 

Currently celebrating more than 35 years as a solo performer with her critically acclaimed Decades tour, the release of “Big Big Love” will be a delight to Belinda Carlisle fans around the world. With a great vocal performance, driving synths and an amazing hook, “Big Big Love”  sounds as huge as its title, with all the ‘hear it once, love it always’ appeal of Belinda’s biggest hits.

Discussing working with Belinda Carlisle again Diane Warren commented, “I'm so excited for everyone to hear Belindas new record. She’s never sounded better. It's so great to be working together again after all these years.  From “I Get Weak” and now to “Big Big Love,” a new chapter has begun.  I can't wait for everyone to hear these new hits!”

Belinda and Diane  first collaborated in 1987 for Belinda’s second solo album Heaven on Earth, which featured the Diane Warren penned songs, “I Get Weak” and “World Without You,” and also the anthemic, “Heaven Is A Place On Earth,” the track that shot to the top of the charts all over the world and established Belinda Carlisle as a global star.

In addition to Belinda’s new solo outings,  she has also recently recorded another Diane Warren track – “Gonna Be You” which is featured in the movie 80 For Brady. This song saw Belinda team up with Dolly Parton, Cyndi Lauper, Gloria Estefan and Debbie Harry - a line-up of female icons for the ages.

Discussing working with Diane Warren, Belinda Carlisle commented, “Twenty-seven years on from making my last English language pop record I really wasn’t thinking I would ever make one again…… and I was quite happy with that idea. Then a chance encounter in a coffee shop led me back to the wonderful Diane Warren and she gave me the incredible gift of this song and the other songs on my upcoming EP.”

Carlisle goes on to add, “Diane’s songwriting is both a joy and mystery to me. She makes it look so easy, where I imagine it must be unbelievably hard, to do what she does so amazingly well over so many years and so many records. I can’t thank her enough for writing this music for me and I only hope everyone else loves it as much as I do.”

Michael's Musings

Michael Shinafelt

Yesterday I went and saw Everything Everywhere All At Once, hey better late than never as the saying goes. Hence this weeks photo, "Yes" you are getting the edgy version of Michael.

Now if you'll excuse me I've got to take care of  all the other versions of my self so they can co-mingle all at once...I've got this!!!

Everything Everywhere All At Once is an amazing film, fight me

No one expects an angel to set the world on fire, the more you know

"We're all small and stupid" - Everything Everywhere All At Once

As I predicted Jamie Lee Curtis won Best Supporting Actress 

It's clear Angela Bassett did not predict Jamie Lee winning. Note to Angela: You shouldn't put expectations on winning, also when has the Academy ever given an acting accolade to a comic book movie?!

That time I showed Satan the yo momma jokes I told the kids at the orphanage, discuss

As the roofies began to kick in...

Loved Scream 6!!! Intense, fun not to mention brutal!

Woman Crush of the Week - Michelle Yeoh who richly deserved her Best Actress Oscar win this past Sunday

Lukas Gage & Chris Appleton that's all

As soon as I'm done writing this column I'm gonna have to watch last night's Vanderpump Rules stat! I heard Raquel shows her true (manipulative) colors!!!

Don't jive me hooker!

Once upon a time there was a Creepy C#nt...

Make your monkey fall in line, spank it

On that note cash me outside here -
