Hump Day & Chill

 Monstro Elisasue

"There's been a slight misuse of the Substance" - Elisabeth Sparkle 

Have you seen The Substance? Well to me it is the most amazing, crazy film I've seen all year!

It's one of the few that actually got under my skin and the more I think about about it, the more I love it!!!

Thus today we are going to Hump Day & Chill with: Monstro Elisasue. If you've seen The Substance you know. If you haven't it's still a blast!

Monstro Elisasue is the combination of the two main characters in the film: Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) and Sue (Margaret Qualley) now that's entertainment for sure!!!

So join myself and Monstro Elisasue in a Hump Day & Chill kind of way.

Yep, that's what I was thinking as well...

Just Because...

Going Bananas?
Cher & Apes

Just Because Cher: The Memoir, Part One is out today and Just Because we could all use some levity here she is doing a riff on Planet of the Apes on The Sonny & Cher Show.

You remember that guy Sonny Bono she started her singing career with?! Well if you don't I'm sure she will have plenty to say about him in her book, there you have that.

Cher has had quite the life and career after all.

For even more fun you can check out the Planet of the Apes skit with the late Jim Nabors after the jump, Just Because...

Following My Tattoo's Advice

Michael Shinafelt

I got this tattoo 2 years ago to celebrate my 5th decade on the planet. I was in a good place when I got it and it's also very sound advice from me to myself and represented who I am. 

Obviously the tattoo did not give me the advice, I simply wanted it there as a daily reminder. Well a funny thing happened on the way to serenity, I got sidetracked...

I became less mindful of the permanent reminder I had etched on my upper left arm and stopped really looking at it.

Now as they say I am up and running again and take the time every morning before I start my day to really look at it as opposed to being used to it there and not paying it any real attention.

It's not always easy to "Just Let Go" but if you work on it, it gets easier and eventually will become instinctual. 

Speaking of which, I need to hit the mat today, it's time for yoga at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. It's a magical place to "Just Let Go."

Current Mood

But Is It Art???

Here is Art The Clown staring down an apprehensive Jenna Kanell as Tara Hayes at a pizza place in Terrifier! Apprehensive is definitely my Current Mood.

Given the tomfoolery that has been going on this past week (we are currently working on tomfoolery week number two) I'm definitely got a gut feeling like Tara something very wrong could be up. As they always say: Trust your gut...

I do, thus I am guessing a storm is brewing, also I just brewed some tea as well.

So gird your loins Minions, take care of yourselves and be careful out there.

Make today amazing!

"Toxic" Friday

Troma Entertainment, the longest-running independent movie studio in North America, proudly celebrates the Dec 10th release of Toxic Crusaders: The Series on Blu-ray with TROMAtic digital restoration and remastering.     The early ‘90s was an interesting time for children’s television when R-rated films found themselves turned into animated television shows aimed at kids. During this fascinating time, children across the nation embraced the first superhero from New Jersey. Toxic Crusaders adapted The Toxic Avenger into a Saturday morning delight that went perfectly with a balanced breakfast. Elements of The Toxic Avenger had to be toned down, including giving the lead character the title of the Toxic Crusader since “Avenger” was too violent of a word for little ears. The little ones knew him as the friendly “Toxie.” The origin story was the same:  Melvin was still a nerdy kid working the mop cleaning up a gym in Tromaville, New Jersey, when cruel bullies caused him to fall into an open barrel of toxic waste. The illegally dumped chemicals transformed Melvin into Toxie, a being with super strength and a powerful mop. Toxie uses his new powers to clean up the evil and greedy forces that are willing to poison the environment. Dr. Killemoff wants to destroy the Earth with toxic chemicals and radioactive waste, so it resembles his polluted planet Smogula.      Toxie isn’t alone in his battle against Dr. Killemoff. Other hideously deformed creatures with superhuman size and strength join up with Toxie to form the Toxic Crusaders. Nozone flew through a hole in the ozone layer and now has powerful sneezes. Major Disaster emerged from a radioactive swamp with the ability to control plants. Headbanger has the heads of the mad scientist Dr. Bender and a singing telegram boy named Fender from an atom smasher accident. Junkyard is a man-dog that merged when lightning hit their toxic sludge covered shelter. Toxie also has the help of his girlfriend Yvonne, who is practically blind without her glasses. Together, the Toxic Crusaders battle against Dr. Killemoff and his evil cohorts to preserve Tromaville.     Toxic Crusaders: The Series was made for the whole family. The action appealed to preteens with its environmental message. There are jokes that will make the adults in the room laugh. This is a show for the family that wants to share the Troma experience together.      Toxie was voiced by Rodger Bumpass, who is currently voicing the character of Squidward Tentacles on SpongeBob SquarePants. Bumpass did double duty by voicing Dr. Killemoff. Other notable voices in the series belong to Paul Eiding (Ben 10), Ed Gilbert (Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills), Hal Rayle (SWAT Kats: The Radical Squad), John Mariano (The Sewer Czar on The Tick), Kath Soucie (Lola Bunny in Space Jam), Susan Silo (Biker Mice From Mars), and Gregg Berger (Cornfed Pig on Duckman).   Two major guest voices were Michael J. Pollard (Bonnie and Clyde) and Chuck McCann (Far Out Space Nuts and Pac-Man). The first episode was written by Chuck Lorre, who went on to create Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory and HBO’s Bookie. Troma’s co-founders, Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz, also co-wrote a few scripts too.     The bonus features include a new introduction from Troma’s Lloyd Kaufman, commercials for Toxic Crusaders toys, TV spots, lost archival footage, and a documentary on the video game. Toxic Crusaders: The Series includes all 13 episodes on 2 Blu-ray discs.     Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9YZWmxKk84&t=1s
