People Who Don't Read "People"

Whilst I never read People Magazine I do follow them on Instagram as it is part of my job to keep up with current events.

People Magazine covers a variety of things and raises awareness for lesser heard stories of, well, people. They aren't just a celebrity centric publication.

Thus when this byline came up in my Instagram feed they lost some of my respect for publishing this "utter nonsense" the other day.

Honestly all this does is lower their standards to that of the current administration. I would expect a lesser publication to have posted this, but People???

As you can see by the screenshot above I voiced my opinion. It has garnered 104 likes so far, obviously I am not alone in my take on it.

One astute comment said "they publish anything with Taylor Swifts name in it" 

While I am sure this is the case...Dear People how low can you go?

Evil Dead Rise

On January 13, the supernatural horror Evil Dead Rise is unleashed on 4K UHD. Director Lee Cronin was handpicked by Sam Raimi to continue the Evil Dead franchise with the same blend of horror and humor fans enjoy. The Limited Edition release features hours of special features and newly commissioned extras. 

After discovering she’s pregnant, Beth (Lily Sullivan, Forgive Us All) visits her estranged sister Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland, Vikings) for support. Ellie is already struggling, as her husband recently walked out, leaving her to raise their three kids on her own. Things get even more chaotic when a massive earthquake rocks the apartment building. In the aftermath, Ellie’s son Danny (Morgan Davies, One Piece) finds a hole in the underground parking garage that leads to an abandoned bank vault. Inside, he discovers religious relics, vinyl records, and a strange book he hopes might be worth something. Instead of being a valuable relic, the book turns out to be the cursed and infamous Necronomicon. As the building’s residents become possessed, the family must find a way to survive.

Special features include a 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible); the original DTS-HD MA 5.1 and Dolby Atmos audio options; an English audio descriptive track; optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; an audio commentary with director Lee Cronin and actors Alyssa Sullivan and Lily Sullivan; brand new interviews with actors Lily Sullivan, Alyssa Sutherland, Gabrielle Echols, Anna-Maree Thomas and others; archival interview with director Lee Cronin and others; Raising a New Evil Dead featurette; a short film directed by Lee Cronin; behind-the-scenes video clips and still gallery; concept artwork gallery; storyboard gallery; trailer; TV spots; double-sided fold-out poster; and a collectors’ booklet.

Michael's Musings

I Can Go For Miles If You Know What I Mean
Michael Shinafelt

"I'm comin' up so you better get this party started

(I'm comin' up, you better)
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started

Get this party started

Makin' my connection as I enter the room
Everybody's chillin' as I set up the groove
Pumpin' up the volume with this brand new beat
Everybody's dancin' and their dancin' for me"  - Get The Party Started, Pink

"Yes" the party has started Minions! I am turning 60 on December 18th, thus I will be celebrating this milestone all month! Cheers!

Take your life and make it the best story in the world. Don't waste that sh!t. Words to live by.

FYI I manifested, but I also did the f#cking work, the more you know

Sorry I missed church I was busy practicing witchcraft, think about it, but not too much

That time you tried to pronounce the name of your medication, but accidentally summoned Satan...

I'm so festive, I bought a poinsettia for my end table at home, and aren't you happy???

When you think your Door Dash has arrived but it's a Jehovah's Witness, discuss

If they want to paint you as the villain, then strike a pose

Hump Day & Chill

It's Christmas time in the city, the city of Los Angeles to be exact. Guess what this means?! "Yes" over the top Christmas decor and the elaborate promotion of Holiday Movies.

Hey, presents are the only thing they want you to spend coin on during the season. Thus let us Hump Day & Chill to Hollywood, hurray for Hollywood!

For me I love walking down the street and seeing a side of a building done up to promote a movie. It's part of the magic of living in the heart of it all. Trust me there is about one on every corner.

While running errands in Hollywood the other day I was walking down the street and there it was complete with Uber Lime Bikes as accessories a side of a building promoting the latest Knives Out Mystery "Wake Up Dead Man"

In the immortal words of Pee Wee Herman I took a picture so it would last longer.

Good thing I did, Hump Day & Chill Minions!

What If Sabrina Carpenter Made Grunge Pop Music???

Guess Who?

What if Sabrina Carpenter made grunge pop music? Think about it, but not too much because I have an answer to the question. 

She would sound like the Tender Misfit. Lyrically they are basically kindred spirits (refer to the image above) I've heard Tears Minions!

What's that you are asking? Oh, so you want to know what a "Tender Misfit" is? Well now, I believe that can be remedied by hitting the links below.

No need to thank me, you can simply spank me. Or something to that effect...

Mic Drop!

Seen In The Hood

"City sidewalks, busy sidewalks.

Dressed in holiday style

In the air

There’s a feeling

of Christmas" - Silver Bells

It's happening again, every year post Thanksgiving in my hood in the immortal battle cry of Mariah Carey "It's Tiiime!"

"Yes" Minions the Christmas decor has begun. Here is my favorite thus far it belongs to the neighbor two doors down from where I live.

It's tasteful, pleasing to the eyes and honestly the display could stay up all winter as they are not so specific to Christmas but more to the season. "Winter Lights" if you please.

Gird your loins the onslaught has begun!
