'Twas The Night Before Christmas...
 |
| Nicole Kidman Eyes Wide Shut |
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there....
Or not?!

Conan The Barbarian
THIEF. WARRIOR. GLADIATOR. KING. Ripped from the pages of Robert E. Howard's beloved pulp stories, and brought to the screen by maverick director John Milius, Conan the Barbarian is one of the most beloved fantasy-action adventures in Hollywood history, which not only popularized a new subgenre - the sword-and-sorcery film - but also made a cinematic icon of its star, former bodybuilding sensation Arnold Schwarzenegger. In an ancient land, young Conan witnesses his family being slaughtered by an evil snake cult ransacking his village. Raised as a slave, the adult Conan (Schwarzenegger) rises up through the fighting pits, becoming an unparalleled and fearsome warrior. Unexpectedly freed, Conan and his companions - two fighters, Subotai (Gerry Lopez) and Valeria (Sandahl Bergman), as well as a Wizard (Mako) - are enlisted by King Osric (Max von Sydow) to free his daughter from the hypnotic clutches of the same cult that murdered Conan's family long ago, led by the shape-shifting sorcerer Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones). Crom has commanded it: at long last, Milius' glorious ode to the days of high adventure (co-written by Oliver Stone) has been restored in glorious 4K with hours of bonus features and a heart-racing Atmos remix that immerses you in the action, accompanied throughout by an electrifying, career-best score by the late Basil Poledouris (RoboCop). If you do not listen... then to hell with you!

Hump Day & Chill
As judgement day draws near (only 6 more days!) the time has come to ponder the question "Have You Bee Naughty Or Nice?"
So why don't we collectively Hump Day & Chill to this quandary. Naughty and Nice are quite relative terms with no real clear definition. Thus I'm gonna give you mine and trust me, my definitions of them are a one size fits all proposition.
Let's start with the ever so popular Naughty. Everyone is obsessed with Naughty because it promises forbidden fruit. Actually it doesn't, personally Naughty to me is treating other people badly, not being considerate of those around you and general self centeredness when in a public or social situation. There is no excuse for this kind of behaving badly, unfortunately this type of behavior has risen in the past few years.
OK, Nice it's your turn. Do the opposite of the abovementioned Naughty - always live in kindness. It's the only way for the world to heal. I know there are exceptions to this rule (you know those unexpected douche nozzles that need to be schooled) but Nice is one of those things that when you give it, you receive it. Pay it forward Minions!
There you have it, now Hump Day & Chill to that!
