Gene Hackman

Gene Hackman
as
Lex Luthor

Sadly legendary actor Gene Hackman has passed away - hit my buddy Jay Jacobson's link below on his classic movie blog for a wonderful tribute to Mr. Hackman.

My first vivid memory of this great was as Lex Luthor opposite Christopher Reeve in Superman The Movie.

Your legacy will live on sir...

Michael's Musings

Where Do We Go From Here???
Michael Shinafelt

"Life is so strange when you don't know, How can you tell where you're going to? You can't be sure of any situation Something could change and then you won't know" - Missing Persons, Destination Unknown 

Indeed, moving on...

Sad to hear of the passing of Michelle Trachtenberg Rest In Power Georgina Sparks 

The reason that they are talking about you behind your back is because when they talk about themselves, no one cares. The more you know.

While the world crumbles and chaos reigns somewhere right now in the United States there's a skating rink playing Xanadu, there is still hope

Ever think about the shady places you've been to, and all the crazy shit you did for fun and wonder how the Hell you are still alive? All the time...

Saw The Monkey, everyone dies and that's messed up

The Gulf Of Depeche Mode, that's all

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home 

"F#king C#nt" made it's triumphant return on RHOBH this week! It seems to be Dorit's jam.

Woman Crush of the Week - Jasmine Crockett for her sanity and leadership during these crazy times

TGIT or as I refer to it Law & Order: SVU day, woot!!! 

The Oscars are Sunday I have two words to say with regard to this: Demi Moore

Honk if you love expensive caviar, do it and do it now!

Do it like that, but without the sinister part...

Why does no one speak of pavilion's anymore???

Roberta Flack

Roberta Flack

Roberta Flack is an amazing artist known for many great songs, like many of you the one that stands out for me is Killing Me Softly. 

There is a haunting quality to it that gets under my skin, indeed.

Rest In Power great lady your legacy will live on...

Watch Roberta sing Killing Me Softly live after the jump.

Everyone

Everyone is a star, and Everyone has the right to live...

"Everybody come on, dance and sing
Everybody get up and do your thing
Everybody come on, dance and sing
Everybody get up and do your thing

Let the music take control
Find a groove and let yourself go
When the room begins to sway
You know what I'm trying to say" - Madonna, Everybody

Let Love Rule! The revolution will not be televised!

SAG Awards

The SAG Awards are today and then next Sunday is the Daddy of them all the Oscars!

I for one am happy that Kristen Bell is hosting. Did you catch her in Nobody Wants This with Adam Brody on Netflix??? What a great, not to mention funny show! 

One hundred percent sure seeing her host will make the show worth the watch. Plus who doesn't like to see a plethora of Hollywood's finest gathered in one space at the same time while strutting down the red carpet? I ask you?

Have any favorites heading into tonight's award ceremony? I really only have one: Demi Moore for The Substance, that's all...

Here are the list of the nominees, enjoy!
