Tell Me Why I Don't Like Mondays...

Adrienne Barbeau & Friend
"The Crate"

Hello Monday...

The look on Adrienne Barbeau's face in the segment "The Crate" from Creepshow a horror anthology Directed by George A Romero circa 1982 illustrates how most people feel about today, Monday.

On a personal note Mondays really don't hold any particular weight with me as a day of the week. But for those of you it does I get why.

Here's what "The Crate" is about: 

The Crate: Based on another Stephen King story, this fan-favorite segment follows a timid college professor (Fritz Weaver) who discovers a ravenous, ancient monster trapped inside an old crate beneath the university stairs and uses it to deal with his demanding, abusive wife (Adrienne Barbeau). 

Have a great week and be weary of any crates you might come across...

"Some Like It Hot"

Here's a meme of Marilyn Monroe with matching dialogue straight outta one of my favorite films of all time Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot.

On top of being quite funny Some Like It Hot is also very subversive. Marilyn steals the movie as Sugar Kane a singer and ukulele player in an all girl band.

What could be better than classic Marilyn Monroe on a Saturday? I ask you? I'm waiting...

"Soylent Green"

On July 28, the dystopian science fiction masterpiece Soylent Green makes its global debut on 4K UHD.

The Limited Edition release features a brand new 4K restoration from the original 35mm camera negative by Arrow Films, hours of special features and newly commissioned extras.

The greenhouse effect has ravaged Earth’s climate, leaving the world eternally hot and crops unable to grow in the year 2022. People survive on Soylent Green crackers manufactured from plankton, while a population explosion has crammed 40 million people into New York City. The poor and downtrodden sleep on staircases and in basements, while the wealthy live in luxury apartments and eat real food, including beef. NYPD Homicide Detective Robert Thorn (Charlton Heston, Planet of the Apes) investigates the murder of a rich man in a secure skyscraper. Police researcher Solomon Roth (Edward G. Robinson, Little Caesar) picks through the clues to uncover a motive for the killing. The cast also includes Leigh Taylor-Young (Jagged Edge), Chuck Connors (Old Yeller), Joseph Cotten (Citizen Kane), and Brock Peters (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home).

Special features include a 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible); original lossless mono audio; optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; an archive audio commentary with director Richard Fleischer and star Leigh Taylor-Young; a brand new audio commentary; archive on-stage interviews with Charlton Heston and Richard Fleischer at the BFI; A Look at the World of Soylent Green; MGM's Tribute to Edward G.

Hump Day & Chill

Joan Rivers

Pssst! In case you aren't in the loop June is Pride Month and what better way to celebrate it than a Hump Day & Chill with the late, great Joan Rivers

Joan is seen here celebrating Pride at the Sydney, AU Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras in 2009. She loved and was beloved by the community.

During these challenging times I really miss Ms. Rivers. Her razor sharp wit and pointed humor is something that would be a welcome respite, right here, right now.

Thus let's Hump Day & Chill in memory of Joan Rivers today.

Happy Pride Month!
