What The Hell Am I Doing Here?!
Michael Shinafelt

"When you were here before

Couldn't look you in the eye

You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special" - Creep, Radiohead

Dream Of Life

Captivate My Dreams
Michael Shinafelt

"Your thoughts, your schemes

Captivate my dreams
Everlasting, ever-new

Sea returns to sea and sky to sky (dream of life)
In a life of dream am I (dream of life)
When I'm with you, with you

Deep in my heart, how the presence of you shines
In a light to last a whole life through
I recall the wonder of it all
Each dream of life I'll share with you" Dream Of Life, Patti Smith

Keep dreaming Minions!

"Raw Meat"

On September 30th, Blue Underground proudly presents the world premiere of the British cannibal classic Raw Meat (AKA Death Line) on 4K UHD + Blu-ray, packed with bonus content. The film is presented in a brand-new 4K restoration from the original uncensored camera negative, with Dolby Vision HDR and a new Dolby Atmos audio mix. The film will also be available on Blu-ray and DVD. 

During a late-night ride on the London Underground, Patricia Wilson (Sharon Gurney, Women in Love) and her boyfriend Alex Campbell (David Ladd, Jonathan Livingston Seagull) find James Manfred, OBE (James Cossins, The Man with the Golden Gun) passed out on the steps to the Russell Square Station. When they fetch a police officer to help, the body disappears. Inspector Calhoun (Donald Pleasence, Halloween) and Detective Sergeant Rogers (Norman Rossington, A Hard Day’s Night) investigate, and it appears the disappearance is tied to the urban legend of workers trapped in a tunnel collapse when the Underground was being built. To survive deep under the streets, the workers reportedly resorted to cannibalism. Are their descendants roaming the Tube still looking for victims?  

The subterranean horror film also stars Hugh Armstrong (The Beastmaster) – in a role originally meant to be played by Marlon Brando - and Christopher Lee (Lord of the Rings). Director Gary Sherman went on to make Dead & Buried, Vice Squad, and Poltergeist III.  

The special features include an audio commentary with co-writer/director Gary Sherman, producer Paul Maslansky, and assistant director Lewis More O’Ferrall; a brand new audio commentary with film historians Nathaniel Thompson and Troy Howarth; Tales From The Tube – an interview with co-writer/director Gary Sherman and executive producers Jay Kanter & Alan Ladd Jr.; From the Depths – an interview with star David Ladd and producer Paul Maslansky; Mind the Doors – an interview with star Hugh Armstrong; trailers; TV spots; radio spots; and a poster & still gallery.  

Raw Meat (AKA Death Line) is available as a Limited Edition 4K UHD + Blu-ray combo, featuring an embossed, foil-highlighted slipcover. Also available separately on Blu-ray and DVD. All three packages include the bonus features.

Walking In LA...

I live in what they refer to as a walkable neighborhood in Los Angeles, meaning I can get to most everything I need to on foot.

Thus it gives one a different perspective than when you travel in your car all the time.

It allows me to see things I wouldn't usually see and take in views around me with a unique perspective.

The other day I was on a mission to Home Depot and this is the view that caught my photographers eye.

It was taken from behind the driveway on the backside of HD and "Yes" you can obviously really see the Hollywood Sign from there.

Hey, on a clear day you can see forever...

TGIF!
