Naughty Or Nice?

There's No Way I'm Turning Back
Michael Shinafelt

"Feels so good being bad (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

There's no way I'm turning back (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Now the pain is for pleasure
'Cause nothing can measure (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me" - Rihanna, S&M 

Have you been Naughty or Nice this year? Guess which one I am...

Only 4 more days until Christmas...Are you ready for it?

"House Sitter"

Cleopatra Entertainment is excited to announce the Jan 20th release of House Sitter on digital video, from Reaper Films. 

While house-sitting for the mysterious and wealthy Harold Finch, three friends find themselves hunted by a masked killer. As they fight to survive, chilling clues hidden throughout the home reveal that this suburban nightmare may be part of something far more sinister...

From Christopher Leto, director of Death Blow and Creeper in the Woods, comes House Sitter, a throwback to 90's horror in celebration of classic, alone-in-the-dark, home-invasion thrillers - with a twist! House Sitter stars Cristina Méndez (Sorry For Your Loss, Frost Park), Evan Eiglarsh (48, Frost Park, Last Laugh) and David Varrieur (Do Not Open, Diary Of A Serial Killer).

Decoder Ring

I didn't watch the Me, Me, Me, Me fest the other night. Because I respect myself too much to subject myself to that kind of tomfoolery. 

For those of you who have any interest in such utter nonsense here we have Ralphie from A Christmas Story with his Trump gibberish decoder ring.

As you may recall in the classic movie it is actually a Little Orphan Annie decoder ring. You're welcome.

Michael's Musings

Today I Turn 60...Happy Birthday To Me!
Michael Shinafelt

I turn 60 today, it's not anything like I thought it would be. It's better! 

Of course I talk to myself. I need expert advice, that's all

You're so weird, don't change

Yesterday I had a Pre-Birthday celebration lunch with my friend Julie at The Cheesecake Factory in Beverly Hills, the more you know

Don't forget getting a tree and decorating it is witchcraft, not to mention all sorts of fun!

What's my favorite Period film? "Carrie" think about it, but not too much

Stop pretending you're not magical, right here, right now

I got a really cool Wicked T-Shirt in the mail from my friend Karen for my Birthday yesterday. It has embroidered Flying Monkeys on it! And aren't you happy? I know I am!!!

Woman Crush of the Week - Amanda Seyfried I love her for standing her ground and refusing  to apologize for calling Charlie Kirk hateful

Speaking of Amanda seeing The Housemaid with her and Sydney Sweeney tomorrow, can't wait!

Gomez Addams was the best television Dad. He had nothing but love and support for his whole family. Fight me.

No one is too old for fairy tales. Trust me at 60 I can honestly state this.

I was today years old when I realized it's called DisnyLAnd because it's in LA and it's called DisneywORld because it's in Orlando

Today I am hitting the historic Bob's Big Boy in Burbank, CA for a Birthday lunch. I've never been and I'm going to get my photo taken with the Big Boy.

Hump Day & Chill

Dawn Davenport Is Angry

"My parents better get me them cha-cha heels I asked for, that's all I can say..." ~ Dawn Davenport in John Waters Female Trouble

John Waters Female Trouble is a Christmas movie, fight me! After all Dawn Davenport (Divine) asked for cha-cha heels for Christmas and gets angry enough to throw a tantrum when she doesn't get them by stomping on all the other gifts and throwing her mother into their family Christmas Tree (now that's entertainment!) What is more heart warming than that? I ask you? Yeah, I know you don't have an answer.

Thus let us Hump Day & Chill and bask in the glory of the season with Dawn Davenport and her Christmas Spirit!

Rob Reiner

I am still shocked about the death of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle. It's a hard thing to process. 

He meant so much to his loved ones and the world. 

This photo posted by Cary Elwes who played Westley in Reiner's film The Princess Bride is the perfect tribute to him. 

RIP 

His body of work and activism will always be remembered.

It's Not Christmas Until...

Phoebe Cates
in
Gremlins

It's not Christmas until you hear Phoebe Cates as Kate Beringer in Gremlins (1984) talk about her Christmas trauma.

This monologue is so wonderfully random that it's genius! With only 10 more days until the "Big C" let's get this celebration started!

Hit the monologue after the jump!

Kate: The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas. Oh, God. It was so horrible. It was Christmas Eve. I was 9 years old. Me and Mom were decorating the tree, waiting for Dad to come home from work. A couple hours went by. Dad wasn't home. So Mom called the office. No answer. Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing. So the police began a search. Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire. That's when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He'd been climbing down the chimney... his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus.
