Man Candy Monday

Yes Sir!
Alexander Skarsgard

Just because this photo of Alexander Skarsgard at the London premiere of Pillion gives me chills that are multiplying I am hereby decreeing today: Man Candy Monday!

Nothing like Alexander dressed in this lustful outfit to awaken all those Leather Daddy fantasies inside us all.

Of course this is on point with what the film is actually about. Here is the synopsis:

"Colin, a timid man, meets Ray, a confident biker gang leader, who initiates him into a submissive relationship, challenging Colin's mundane existence and prompting personal growth through their unconventional dynamic."

Indeed...

He can dominate me anytime!

David Archuleta Goes "Bilingual"

David Archuleta & renowned colombian singer songwriter and LGBTI+ advocate Esteman here have confirmed their collaboration on a special bilingual version of David’s worldwide hit song, “Crème Brulee” with brand new lyrics and vocals by the colombian artist.  The “Crème Brulée (Mixes en Español)” EP here will feature the Bilingual version of “Crème Brulee”here with Esteman as well as David performing complete Spanish versions of “Crème Brulee” here and “Can I Call You” here 

Lyric Video HERE

 

“I am excited to finally release full Spanish versions of my original music for the very first time. 
This is something I’ve been hoping to do since early on in my career and alot more moving forward. 
I love it because it’s different getting to sing in Spanish. It brings out a whole new side of me that gets me in touch with my Latin/Honduran roots” says David.

Esteman shared – “When David Archuleta reached out to me about doing a feature on his song, I loved the idea. I had actually heard the song a few months earlier. I was at home in Mexico scrolling through my socials when a clip of the Crème Brulée video popped up on my feed, and it immediately caught my attention. I loved how catchy the song was, and I was really drawn to the fact that it was about a guy who’s comfortable with his orientation, making pop music from such a genuine and authentic place. I felt so connected to that. Who would’ve thought that just a few months later, we’d be singing it together.”

 

“Cuando David Archuleta me contactó para hacer un feat de su canción me encantó la idea. Ya había podido escuchar la canción unos meses antes…Estaba en mi casa en México mirando mis redes y de repente me salió en mi feed una parte del video de Crème Brulée y me llamó mucho la atención. Me encantó el sonido “catchy” de la canción y que se trataba de un chico muy cómodo con su orientación haciendo música pop desde un lugar muy genuino y auténtico. Todo eso me hizo sentir muy identificado…quién iba a pensar que estaríamos cantándola juntos unos meses después.”  

 

This collaboration marks a meaningful cultural moment, bringing together two artists who have each become powerful voices for authenticity and self-expression in the Latin and global pop scenes. Esteman, widely recognized as one of the leading icons of Latin American alternative pop, has built a career defined by his vibrant aesthetic, genre-blending sound, and unapologetically queer perspective. His participation in “Crème Brulée (Mixes en Español)” not only bridges cultures and languages but also celebrates a shared commitment between both artists to visibility, diversity, and emotional honesty in contemporary pop music.

 

In other news, David has co-written a new song for the fifth season of the popular Hulu hit series “Only Murders in the Building” that stars Martin Short, Steve Martin and Selena Gomez as an unlikely trio of crime-solvers. The song, called “Wish You Were Me,” appears to be tied to the self-absorbed character Althea (Beanie Feldstein) who also sings on the track here. 

 

David’s most recent releases include:

Dulce Amor - HERE

Can I Call You HERE

Crème Brulée - HERE. and the remix HERE

Crème Brulée  - Bilingual version with Esteman HERE

Freedom - HERE

Rather Be Lonely - HERE

"Outland"

On November 4, the Sci-fi thriller Outland makes its universal 4K UHD debut. Writer-director Peter Hyams (2010: The Year We Make Contact) combines elements of a classic Western and Film Noir in a gripping drama that takes place in outer space. Outland features a brand new 4K restoration from the original 35mm camera negative by Arrow Films. The Limited Edition release is packed with hours of special features, collectible packaging, and newly commissioned extras.

Federal marshal William O'Niel (Sean Connery, The Untouchables) receives an assignment at a titanium mining operation on Io, a moon of Jupiter. This is a hostile environment where miners in spacesuits work on the harsh rocky surface in 14-hour shifts. There’s not much to do inside the climate controlled outpost besides play racquetball, hang out at a gentleman’s club, and spend their pay in a brothel, all of which are overseen by Mark Sheppard (Peter Boyle, Young Frankenstein). The miners are under a lot of pressure to hit quotas. A few have snapped, exposed themselves to the moon’s atmosphere, and suffered horrible deaths. The company blames the incidents on mental breakdowns. O’Niel suspects there is more to the story and enlists the unwilling help of Dr. Lazarus (Frances Sternhagen, Misery). They discover a dangerous stimulant in the blood of a deceased worker, which keeps the miners working long hours for months on end and ultimately leads to psychotic episodes. Can O’Niel break up the drug ring responsible for the deaths?  

Special features include a 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible); original DTS-HD MA 5.1 surround audio and lossless stereo audio options; optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; archival audio commentary with writer-director Peter Hyams; brand new audio commentary; brand new interviews with writer-director Peter Hyams and others; a brand new video appreciation; a brand new visual essay; the theatrical trailer; an image gallery; a double-sided fold-out poster; and an illustrated collector’s booklet.

"There's a new game we like to play, you see

A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog, get me down on my knees

We call it Master and Servant
We call it Master and Servant

It's a lot like life, this play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality

Let's play Master and Servant
Let's play Master and Servant" - Master and Servant, Depeche Mode

Hump Day & Chill

Patty McCormack
as
Rhoda Penmark

 "Why should I feel sorry? It was Claude Daigle who got drowned, not me!" - Rhoda Penmark, The Bad Seed

Tis the season, thus today we are going to Hump Day & Chill to one of the cinemas most notorious sociopaths little Rhoda Penmark straight outta the film The Bad Seed. 

For the uninitiated here's how Bad of a girl Rhoda is:

Air Force Colonel Kenneth Penmark (William Hopper) and his wife, Christine (Nancy Kelly), dote on their pig-tailed daughter, Rhoda (Patty McCormack) -- as does their lonely landlady, Monica Breedlove (Evelyn Varden). But self-centered Rhoda has a secret tendency for selfishness and loves to accumulate gifts, whether given or stolen, in her room. Christine keeps her knowledge of her daughter's darker side to herself, but when a schoolmate of Rhoda's dies mysteriously, her self-deception unravels.

"Yes" I have seen this movie and while some of it is hammy in execution and undercuts the darker themes of the story a little. I have never seen a child performance as chilling as Patty McCormack as Rhoda Penmark. 

She makes seeing The Bad Seed a Hump Day & Chill must!
