All I Wanna Do, Is Make A Meal Of You

"I eat cannibal

Feed on animal
Your love is so edible to me
I eat cannibals

I eat cannibal
It's incredible
You bring out the animal in me
I eat cannibals" - I Eat Cannibals, Toto Coelo 

Happy Thanksgiving Minions!

FYI I can get you on the naughty list, the more you know...

I don't "do" revenge because losing someone like me is enough, that's all

An all new Exorcist is in the works with horror auteur Mike Flanagan at the helm and Scarlett Johansson set to star. I'm in!

How does Godzilla bake his Thanksgiving Turkey? Think about it, but not too much

On this day of feasting remember you need to give thanks and "to serve man" IYKYK  Hint: The Twilight Zone

Saw Wicked For Good yesterday...loved it as much as I loved the first one and that's saying something!

Don't forget to give thanks for the "Slutty Moments" in your life

Woman Crush of the Week - Ariana Grande so good in the first Wicked. We are completely under her spell in Wicked For Good

Sometimes people must be escorted from the VIP section of your life to a regular seat

In case you ever thought differently, I am not a yo-yo! Thank you.

Something I'm thankful for? Jonathan Groff reveals he will be performing in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade without any underwear. Yeah, I'm tuning in just for that!

We were taught to fear witches instead of the people who burned them.. and that is the problem

I'm going to do some major gobbling today, that's all you need to know

Hump Day & Chill

Nikki Glaser

'Twas the Hump Day & Chill before Thanksgiving and what do I see? Why it's Nikki Glaser basting a turkey! Because of course Nikki uses turkey basters!

Honestly how much of a blast would it be to hang with Ms. Glaser on Turkey Day?! I ask you? On second thought, don't answer. I would want her all to myself she's so damn funny!

"Yes" Nikki is one of my favorite comedians from her Golden Globe hosting gig to her HBO Specials. Also let's not forget her notorious appearance as the host on Saturday Night Live recently.

She knows just how far to take something and still make it laughable.

Thus let's give a Hump Day & Chill toast to Ms. Nikki Glaser and her turkey baster...

Cheers!

Just Because...Alexander Skarsgard

Alexander Skarsgard

Here's a photo of Alexander Skarsgard grabbing his nether regions "Just Because"

Also I used to swoon over him as Eric Northman on HBO's True Blood "Just Because"

When he played Nicole Kidman's abusive husband on Big Little Lies he still managed to be a sympathetic monster "Just Because"

He also starred in one of my favorite films Lars von Trier's Melancholia "Just Because"

Be sure to check yourself before you wreck yourselves today Minions "Just Because"

Squad Goals

Puttin' On The Ritz
The Cast & Some Crew 
of
Wicked For Good

This is one resplendent photo op. The cast of Wicked For Good with some of the behind the scenes wizards added for good measure.

I'm hitting the world famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood Wednesday to catch the spectacle of it all in IMAX...I can't wait!

Never have I ever seen a more stylish cast.

Squad Goals, indeed...

Current Mood

Lately I have been feeling this Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford in the notorious camp film Mommie Dearest meme.  

Thus identifying as a "threat" is my ever so aggressive Current Mood.

What's that you ask? What king of a threat? 

Here's a clue - Try/Me

The End.

Saga Of The Phoenix

On December 16th, 88 Films proudly presents the North American Blu-ray debut of the Hong Kong spiritual fantasy cult classic, Saga of the Phoenix, in a limited edition release featuring a brand new 2K restoration from the original negative loaded with bonus content.  

The Holy Maiden of Hell, Ashura (Gloria Yip, The Cat), is sentenced to reside for eternity inside a statue of a reclined Buddha after being caught practicing magic on Earth. She refuses her banishment because she can’t exist without the Sun. Abbott Ji Ku (Shintarô Katsu, Zatoichi and the One-Armed Swordsman) and High Abbess (Yuko Natori, Crest of Betrayal) give her seven last days on Earth. Master Peacock (Yuen Biao, Project A), Lucky Fruit (Abe Hiroshi, Godzilla 2000), and others are sent to keep her from breaking her promise to return and serve her punishment. Ashura might not be their only problem.  

Hell’s Concubine (Ngai Suet, Ghost Ballroom) orders her demonic squad to Earth to kidnap Ashura so she can drain her rival’s spirit and control other devils. Saga of the Phoenix is steeped in underworld intrigue and high-flying martial arts choreography, combined with quirky comedic moments. 

Co-directed by Lam Nai Choi (Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky) and Lau Shut-Yue (Tales of the Flying Fox), Saga of the Phoenix is a unique mix of outrageous mystical fantasy and martial arts action. The characters trade blows that defy gravity, battle giant stone dogs, and unleash massive fireballs. And at the center of it all is a cartoonishly adorable genie who befriends Ashura, until the Hell’s Concubine twists him into a soul sucking creature, pushing the film’s fantasy into darker territory. 

The special features include the remastered original Cantonese monaural soundtrack; optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; a limited edition rigid slip case; a 40 page perfect bound book; a limited edition premium artcard; audio commentary by Frank Djeng and F.J. Desanto; alternate Japanese footage; an image gallery; and the original
trailer.

Did You Say Ex-Lax?

Celebrate This!
Margaret Cho

Margaret Cho has always been political. Have you seen her in action lately???

Well Ms. Cho is really ripping MAGA, bigots and assorted other cretins a new one on TikTok with graphic and demeaning commentary.

Hey, it's nothing they haven't done for others, she's simply serving them a taste of their own BS.

For example she takes Pete Hegseth down a few notches by uttering: "Pete Hegseth shut up queen" and refers to ICE agents as failures and wannabes who have never done anything with their lives. Accurate I would say.

She most recently posted a video in solidarity with Charlotte, NC servers who are actually giving ICE agents Ex-Lax instead of a chocolate at the end of their meal.

So if you're feeling frustrated, angry or powerless why not get a vicarious release and let Margaret say it for you? 

In the immortal words of Margaret "Shut up JK Rowling, you are a joke, that's why your name is JK"

That's all.
