Remembering Marilyn Monroe

Today is the 61st anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's passing. To commemorate it here is a still from my favorite Marilyn movie The Misfits written by her then husband Arthur Miller and directed to the great John Houston.

Marilyn's portrayal of Roslyn Taber was simply one of her best. The photo is from my favorite scene in the film where Roslyn dances with abandon among the trees. I'm really not sure how else to describe it, other than the scene itself is mesmerizing.

Rest In Power

Michael's Musings

Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Cold,
Who's Hungry???
Michael Shinafelt

This photo of me with a shiner appeared in my Facebook memories today. I don't recall exactly what it was I did, what I do remember is I did it accidentally to myself. 

All I can think is that I must have really been in full on Raging Bull mode that day, or simply just clumsy which happens from time to time. Whichever it was I need to remind myself not to mess with me! No more self inflicted shiners damn it!!!

Keep Calm And Be A Barbie 

Saw Oppenheimer yesterday. My take is while it was a little slow in places it's a great film and makes one Hell of an impact

Thank you for not breeding, discuss...

Plump, sweet and begging for cream, the more you know

Currently Binging: The original Gossip Girl series, never saw it initially. xoxo Gossip Girl. 

I hope all the Rumors aren't true that Lizzo is 100% that bitch

Drunk, naked and looking for my wallet on the floor of Applebee's, and since no one I know, including myself would ever eat there, give it a name

Adam & Eve were never kids so imagine their horror when their kids teeth started falling out for no reason

Woman Crush of the Week - Florence Pugh for her intriguing, enigmatic portrayal of Jean Tatlock in Oppenheimer 

You are good enough. Actually you're probably overqualified but let's start the day off humble

Rewatched some of the OG Sex and the City recently. Carrie Bradshaw is a selfish, judgmental person not to mention a bad friend. Fight Me!

This has been the week of catching up on things I have not seen, finally saw the horror movie Smile. Yep, it was as good as I heard it was, smile! 

Random Thought: Malcom McDowell in Caligula, that's all

Today is a me day, guess which me I'm going to be?

Hump Day & Chill

Today I am going to Hump Day & Chill by seeing Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer at the world famous Chinese theater in Hollywood, CA.

Oppenheimer is being shown in IMAX there the way it is intended by Nolan to be seen thus I am gonna watch it in all it's resplendent glory.

For those not in the know at one point they shut the historic theater down and revamped it to show movies in IMAX so far I have seen only one movie in the format there that being The Batman. After today it will be two.

Anyway if you wanna know where I'm gonna Hump Day & Chill for three hours today it's with me, myself and Oppenheimer at the Chinese in Hollywood. 

Cheers to air conditioning!

Weird Science

THEY WENT FROM ZEROES TO HEROES IN ONE FANTASTIC WEEKEND. If you can't get a date... make one! After proving himself the king of heartfelt teen flicks with Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club, writer-director John Hughes infused the genre with a hefty dose of wacked-out sci-fi comedy in Weird Science, a film where every teenage boy's wildest fantasies come to life. Perennially picked-on high school nerds Gary (Anthony Michael Hall, Sixteen Candles) and Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) are sick of their status at the bottom of the social food chain. Using Wyatt's computer, the two hatch a plan to create their dream woman - and following a massive power surge, that woman unexpectedly appears in the form of Lisa (Kelly LeBrock). Gorgeous, intelligent, and blessed with limitless magic powers, Lisa makes the boys' dreams come true... but what about Wyatt's gun-toting psycho older brother Chet (Bill Paxton), and the two bullies (Robert Downey Jr and Vamp's Robert Rusler) determined to put them back in their place? Inspired by EC Comics and boosted by a killer soundtrack (including the classic title theme by Oingo Boingo), Weird Science has never looked better than in this new 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray edition, including an extended version of the film and hours of bonus content.

Mic Drop!

Mic Drop!
Cardi B

With Bebe Rehxa nearly losing an eye, Pink getting receiving the ashes of someone's dead mother, giving a concert has become risky business. 

Not sure when this off trend of attacking superstar performers came into vogue, but send it back to where it came from (Hell I'm guessing.) 

Cardi B is having none of this foolishness! A concert goer threw a drink at her while giving a concert in Vegas and Cardi pelted the concert goes with a mic.

This sh!t has gotten out of control. I've gone to concerts where there were mosh pits and not once any person attending tried to assault the musicians on stage. Seriously if you nail the star attraction and it hurts them badly enough and they have to pump the brakes on the show, then WTF did you pay money for you dimwits?!?! Not to mention you screw the other people attending out of their hard earned money that they paid to be there. So F#ck You!!!

Adele called out concertgoers engaged in such bad behavior: “Have you noticed how people are like, forgetting fucking show etiquette at the moment? People just throwing shit on stage, have you seen them? I fucking dare you. Dare you to throw something at me and I’ll fucking kill you."

I second that Adele.

Here's an article on concert going etiquette, you're welcome

Shirtless Sunday

Gus Kenworthy

This episode of Shirtless Sunday comes straight outta Fire Island Pines. It's former freestyle skier and present actor Gus Kenworthy.

Gus is looking might lickable sporting nothing but a pair of swim trunks walking the plank on Fire Island.

Remember Gus from American Horror Story: 1984? If you're a horror fan like me, of course you do!

So give a right handed salute to Gus on this edition of Shirtless Sunday!

Wing It!

Hot Ones!
Aubrey Plaza

Hey, let's wing it today it's National Chicken Wing day!!! I personally love chicken wings, especially if they are hot 🔥 

Look, it's Aubrey Plaza on THE show about chicken wings Hot Ones.

I've seen the show once and all I did was get hungry and jealous of the people chowing down on the wings. So much so I went out and bought some immediately after.

Now that I'm thinking about them I just might, perhaps, maybe, OK definitely get some today.

It's a celebration you know!
