Hump Day & Chill

Look! It's A Zuni Fetish Doll!

There's a little more "Chill" in today's Hump Day & Chill than per usual. Here to give it to us is the Zuni Fetish Doll from Trilogy Of Terror.

You know the one that terrorized Karen Black in her apartment? Yeah, that's the fetish!

This sexy beast appears in the third and final story titled Amelia here's the synopsis for the uninitiated: 

Story 3: Amelia

"Amelia lives alone in a high-rise apartment building. When Amelia tells her overbearing mother she is cancelling their evening plans in order to see her anthropologist boyfriend on his birthday, and that she bought him a wooden fetish doll in the form of a misshapen aboriginal warrior with pointed teeth and a spear, her mother hangs up. A scroll with the doll claims that the gold chain adorning the doll keeps the spirit of a Zuni hunter named "He Who Kills" trapped within. As Amelia leaves the room, the gold chain falls off."

Hump Day & Chill and remember to treat your Zuni Fetish Doll well!

Excalibur

Also on February 24, the medieval epic fantasy Excalibur makes its world premiere on 4K UHD. Director John Boorman (Deliverance) brings you the definitive cinematic telling of the life and enduring legend of King Arthur, not seen in previous family friendly movies about Camelot. The Limited Edition release features a brand new 4K restoration from the original 35mm negative by Arrow Films presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.66:1 for the first time on home video, hours of special features, and newly commissioned extras. There is also a Blu-ray release.

The wizard Merlin (Nicol Williamson, The Exorcist III) acquires the powerful sword Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake for Uther Pendragon (Gabriel Byrne, The Usual Suspects). The magical weapon allows Uther to be recognized as the King of the Britons. During a feast, Uther begs Merlin to cast a spell that will allow him to sleep with a duke’s wife. Merlin agrees, but only after being promised the king’s future child. Months later, Merlin claims the newborn. When Uther attempts to reclaim the baby, he is ambushed, and before dying, he drives Excalibur into a stone. Legend foretells that only the next true king can free the sword. Merlin places the child, Arthur, with Sir Ector to be raised as a squire. During a tournament to determine England’s new ruler, a grown Arthur (Nigel Terry, The Lion in Winter) unknowingly pulls Excalibur from the stone and is crowned king. He gathers extraordinary knights to his legendary Round Table at Camelot, but his reunion with his magical sister Morgana (Helen Mirren, The Queen) ushers in dark times for his reign. To restore the kingdom, Arthur sends his knights on a perilous quest for the Holy Grail. Among the warriors clad in shining armor are Patrick Stewart (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Liam Neeson (Taken), and Ciarán Hinds (Miami Vice).

Special features include a 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible); restored original lossless mono and DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio options; optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; two brand new audio commentaries; archival audio commentary by director John Boorman; The Making of Excalibur: Myth into Movie, a never before released 48-minute documentary directed by Neil Jordan (The Crying Game); newly filmed interviews with director John Boorman, actor Charley Boorman, co-writer Rospo Pallenberg; creative associate Neil Jordan and others; the 120-minute TV version of the film; a retrospective documentary with cast and crew interviews; trailers; image galleries; a perfect-bound booklet; double-sided fold-out poster; and six postcard-sized reproduction art cards.

How Do You Say De-Gorgeous???

Jennifer Lawrence

On a rare Mommy night out, Jennifer Lawrence magically appeared at last night's Golden Globes award show.

Looking drop dead gorgeous is a Givenchy naked floral dress she was the head turner for the to do last night IMHO.

Nominated for her turn in Die My Love (if you haven't seen it check it out) she was still 100% authentically Jennifer Lawrence.

This Mother of two still knows how to work it!

In Dreams

Naomi Watts
Mulholland Drive

"It'll be just like in the movies. Pretending to be somebody else."

"Hey, pretty girl, time to wake up."

"I want you to go back to work tomorrow. You were recasting the lead actress anyway. Audition many girls for the part. When you see the girl that was shown to you earlier today, you will say, "this is the girl." The rest of the cast can stay, that's up to you. But that lead girl is not up to you. Now, you will see me one more time if you do good. You will see me two more times if you do bad. Good night."

"In dreams, I walk with you
In dreams, I talk to you
In dreams, you're mine, all of the time
We're together in dreams, in dreams"

Beautiful Dreamers...Everyone...

MacArthur Park

Kristi Noem

"MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark

All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no"  - Donna Summer, MacArthur Park

TGIF!

Now who on earth would want to harass poor Dottie Hinkle? IYKYK

Alcohol has taught me when I'm drunk I will walk anywhere. Sober me complains about walking for 10 minutes.

Me walking into 2026 still a bitch. It's a New Year not a miracle.

If today isn't your day remember a year has 365 days, that's all

Always leave when it gets disrespectful, the more you know

Hug me until it stops feeling innocent, that's the ticket
