Norma Desmond Says...

Gloria Swanson
as
Norma Desmond

To all you wonderful people out there in the dark...

"And I promise you I'll never desert you again because after 'Salome' we'll make another picture and another picture. You see, this is my life! It always will be! Nothing else! Just us, and the cameras, and those wonderful people out there in the dark!... All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up." - Norma Desmond, Sunset Boulevard

American Psycho Redux


Christian Bale
as 
Patrick Bateman

Rewatched American Psycho this weekend. Hadn't seen it in forever. I like to revisit movies I liked when I was younger later in life to see how my life experience changes my perception of them. I found the film hilarious at 58. Something that my 20 years younger less experienced self didn't really get.

Not to mention Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman was HAF🔥

Happy Monday!

Hump Day & Chill


I came across this iconic renedering of Bette Davis and her words of wisdom to actresses coming to Hollywood: Take Fountain.

This mural was around the corner from me in my hood and I took a photo of it, and I'm glad I did as it is no longer. I guess a furniture store's showroom expansion was more important. Thus there goes another piece of Hollywood History (I hear it is now privately owned)

So let us Hump Day & Chill to this memory from Hollywood of yester year.

Raise a glass!

Careful What You Wish For


Stream "Careful What You Wish For" HERE: 

https://orcd.co/careful

Front man Gizz Lazlo (former drummer of U.K. Subs, Dr. Know and The Freeze) says, ""Careful What You Wish For" is a story about unrequited love. A story about someone who loves too deeply. A person who believes in true love but is lost in an ocean of love, and suddenly realizes that they're not the only person in their lover's eyes, life, and heart. It's about going to your lover's home to surprise them with a weekend getaway and seeing someone else there who's known for their past as not a good person in their previous relationships. Someone who was told that that other person was just a friend, and then realized they were being lied to over and over again. It's about wondering what to do - run or fight? In this story, the jilted lover decides to walk away but leaves a message behind. A message of Karma. No one in their right mind wants to see their ex physically hurt, but for an idealist dreamer, there has to be that moment when you find out that your ex has been left behind the way you knew it was going to end, and you can't help but feel that feeling of reprieve in that you're not the only one whose heart was broken. So if you're cheating on your mate, seeing someone behind their back, or just flirting with someone else and thinking you can do better? There's always the chance that your new "toy" will in turn do everything you've done to your ex. It's not hard to love someone, but today it seems hard to keep someone in your life and keep that loving flame ablaze. So be careful what you wish for."
