Ms .45

On October 28, the gritty and gory revenge drama Ms .45 receives its global 4K UHD debut. The cult classic by director Abel Ferrara (King of New York) features a new 4K restoration from the original 35mm camera negative. The limited edition set is filled with hours of special features, a poster, and book. The release will also be available on Blu-ray.

Thana (Zoë Tamerlis Lund, Bad Lieutenant), a mute seamstress, is assaulted by a mugger on her way home from work. Then, upon entering her apartment, she discovers a burglar waiting inside. During the second attack, she wrestles away his gun and kills him. Pushed past her breaking point, Thana refuses to remain a victim. By night, she prowls the streets of New York, targeting any predatory man who dares to cross her path. She may be mute, but the Big Apple is about to hear her roar.

Special features include brand new audio commentary; a new featurette with film critic Kat Ellinger; archival interviews with director Abel Ferrara, composer Joe Delia and creative consultant Jack McIntyre; the short films, "Zoe XO" and "Zoe Rising," about Zoë Tamerlis Lund directed by Paul Rachman; the theatrical trailer; an image gallery; a perfect bound collector’s book; previously unseen photographs of Zoë Lund; select archival material and writing; and a double-sided fold-out poster.

About Last Night...

Up On The Roof
l-r
Me, Kelly Waters & Shauna Waters

Last night was not my typical Friday Night, because, well, my nieces are in town for the Oasis concert at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena tonight.

Which means it's an excuse to be a tourist in my own town. They are staying at one of the newer hip Hollywood Hotels the Whisky. 

Yesterday I motored over in a Lyft to meet them and to head over to the Chateau Marmont where we drank, had appetizers and mingled with the other people in the historic and beautiful lounge there. 

We concluded the evening with drinks upon the roof of the Whisky where we could overlook the city, hence the photo above.

I took my leave around eleven not sure when they retired as the met a couple of other Oasis concert goers and were conversing with them when I decided it was time to call it a night.

Guess I will find out today when we hit El Coyote!

That's all for now.

Earthly Delights

Photo by: Irvin Rivera

Basking in the huge success of his worldwide hit “Crème Brulée” HERE (& the remix HERE) and follow-up singles, “Can I Call You” HERE & “Dulce Amor” HERE off his recent Earthly Delights EP, David Archuleta is ready to share more new music with a deluxe edition to be released on September 12 - HERE

 

The Earthly Delights (Deluxe Edition) EP is David’s first collection of new music in over five years with the deluxe version featuring two brand new tracks - “Fade To Black” (written by David, Michael Cody Dear, Ryan Nealon and Alexander Lewis who also produced the track) & “Inside Out” (written by David, Noah Davis,Ryan Nealon and Michael Blum who also produced the track) as well as acoustic versions of “Crème Brulee” and “Can I Call You.”  

 

David says about the Earthly Delights (Deluxe Edition) EP – “I’m thrilled to share these extra new songs on the deluxe edition of the “Earthly Delights” ep.  I’ve been inspired by so many new things in my life these past few years, and I felt like these songs deserved to be part of the story that I want to share with you all.  It’s fun for me to include you on my journey as I create all this new music and I hope you enjoy these songs as much as I do.”

 

“Fade to Black”

“Fade to Black” is a sassy song about moving on with life and prioritizing yourself after giving too much time to the wrong situations. Time to prioritize your own well-being.” 

 

“Inside Out”

”Inside Out” is a 80’s or 90's influenced throwback sounding song. It’s an intimate song about getting someone to open up more in a relationship and encouraging your partner to let their guard down more after having a wall up and being tough from whatever life has thrown at them, but done in a sexy way.” 

 

David previously shared about Earthly Delights - “I’m in my indulgence mode when it comes to giving into my sensuality. Something I always villainized before. There’s something sweet about being naughty. And it’s actually helped me to get in touch with more tender vulnerable parts of myself. So Earthly Delights is taking in the pleasures of what I always thought would keep me out of heaven. For the belief I always had of the hell and unhappiness I would experience for giving into my “carnal nature” of sexuality, which is the natural instinct of humans and even what leads to the source of life itself, here’s to a big F you to my old fears and embracing the sensual side and “earthly delights” of how good and rich it feels. It really is the source to life.”

 

Questioning his beliefs and the indoctrination of his youth, the innately angelic David has fallen out of graces with the church and his family. Traversing through his own personal hells, he finds a connection with his inner strength in the process— and grounding in his own authentic queer identity. David now re-emerges into the realm of earthly delights. Here, he explores the pleasures and pain of terrestrial life: the sweet indulgences of connection and heartbreak, sensuality and physicality. Innocent at the core, but now balanced and rounded by newfound flirtiness and sass, boldness and humor— he’s an embodied being of the earth, here to take in the full spectrum of what life has to offer, with courage, playfulness, and a beaming inner light.

With all of this new music under his belt, David will hit the road for the first time in over five years and bring his dynamic live show here to stages across North America performing new tracks from his Earthly Delights EP as well as fan favorites “Crush” “Afraid To Love,” “Hell Together,” “A Little Too Not Over You” and more this fall.  The month long trek which is set to hit such cities as New York (SOLD OUT), Philadelphia, Toronto, San Francisco, Phoenix and more will feature support acts Alexandra John (9/17 thru 9/29) and Rachel Bochner (10/2 thru 10/17).  All dates on sale HERE.  A limited number (50 - 75) of special VIP packages will be available for $200 USD (excl.ticket face, tax & fees).

Hump Day & Chill

Mysterious
Tim Burton & Lady Gaga

It's Wednesday Wednesday! That's correct Minions today is when part deux of Wednesday Season Two drops on Netflix!

Here to commemorate this event on this Hump Day & Chill September 3rd 2025 is Lady Gaga as Rosaline Rotwood with Director & Executive Producer the legendary Tim Burton.

Not much is known about Ms. Rotwood other than she is "mysterious" because of course she is.

I for one am quite intrigued as to how Gaga's character is going to be involved in Wednesday's life. There's that.

And let's not forget Gaga also has a song in Wednesday part deux called "Dead Dance" which also drops today. Coincidence? I think not!

Thus you know what I will be doing after I get everything taken care that needs doing later today.

Hump Day & Chill!!!

Older

As we all rapidly grow older there is a point where we either refresh our faces to keep looking younger than we are, or let nature do it's thing.

While I agree with Cameron Diaz's take on this (I will be 60 this year and have had no work done to my face) I also agree that her statement is not a one size fits all proposition.

Thus the choice is yours, and she has made hers.

It is a great POV as are other ones. They all lead to informed decision making.

That's all...
