Saturday Sinema - Hellbound: Hallraiser II


Feel the burn... 🔥🔥🔥  
Picking up right where Hellraiser left off, Hellbound: Hellraiser II expands upon the terrifying universe created in Clive Barker's original film - taking the story into the very depths of Hell itself. Having escaped the clutches of Pinhead and the demonic Cenobites, Kirsty Cotton (Ashley Laurence) awakens to finds herself detained at the Channard Institute, a hospital for the mentally ill. But her torments are far from over - the chief doctor at the institute is determined to unleash the powers of Hell to achieve his own twisted ends. Hellbound: Hellraiser II is one of the most celebrated horror sequels of all time, offering a vision that is both more gruesome and fantastical than its predecessor.

 “When we got back together last year, we never dreamed we would end up where we are today. We had such good times with BBMAK, from touring with *NSYNC to performing on The Tonight Show to being a part of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and we thought  maybe that was enough. But when we got together again, the magic was still there, so much so that we started writing music again like not a moment had passed. The result is Powerstation, which is coming out in October and we literally can’t wait for you to hear it. We’ve been absolutely blown away by the love, support and excitement from everyone who has come to see us at our shows or written to us online to tell us how much it means to you that we’re together again.” Christian, Mark & Ste
To coincide with the release of Powerstation, the group has one of a kind, unique items up for grabs on their website (www.bbmak.com).

Best known for their self-penned infectious guitar driven hits “Back Here,” “Out of My Heart“ and “The Ghost of You and Me,” BBMAK was one of the few bands from that genre to play their own instruments.  Billboard Magazine named “Back Here” the 9th Greatest Boy Band Song of All Time.

Michael's Musings

TBT: Blonde Jock
Michael Shinafelt
Today I am in a Throwback Thursday state of mind, hence the photo of myself I chose to use. "Yes" I was once young bleached blonde Guy full of ambition and a few other things 😈 Honestly I am happier and like myself more now than I did then. The old adage is true "Youth is Wasted on the Young" - Unless your Miley Cyrus, then that's a whole other story...

Well It Chapter Two is number one at the BO, no surprise there. Friends whose opinions I trust have not liked it. I honestly found the first one tedious and not scary in the least, I will be sitting this one out. I'll wait till it hits cable thus having the option to switch channels it I so choose 🎈

I had such a challenging week, a snappers falling out eyeball is a welcome change 

Smells Like Pumpkin Spice Spirit...Boo!

If you have an unusual, obscure name, don't get arrogantly correct people when they pronounce it wrong. Your parents F#cked you over, deal with it!

Attention, you know I just found what your looking for

This coming Wednesday September 18th American Horror Story: 1984 premieres. Honestly I love that they are taking on 80's slasher movies. Anything would be better than last season.

In the spirit of Throwback Thursday, I remember the time I met the late, great David Bowie. "Yes" I nearly wet myself.



Woman Crush of the Week - Lizzo 

"Many people say" is a Trump code for racist lie coming at ya!

Now that Marie Osmond is on The Talk I really need to watch it at least once

"Bitch, We're Gay, Not Vampires!" Sh!t Gays say to religious fanatics waving a cross at them...

Michael, as in me, myself and I says: Relax (see Frankie isn't the only one who can do it, just sayin')



Current Mood...refer to the above image 

And aren't you happy? Seriously, aren't you? Be well minions!

As we are in the throes of the last days of Summer, I was pondering what it is I like most about it. Is it the extra hot temperatures? "No" Is it that I have to utilize my air conditioner? "No" Is it being stuck in traffic? "No"  - well then what is it?! It's flowers in bloom and skin, of the male variety (duh)!

This week's Hump Day & Chill has both, in the form of Sunflowers & male model Josh Mosier. Captured through the eyes of photographer byKent.

Kent extrapolates on his love of Sunflowers and of course Josh's nude male form via Tye Briggs Favorite Hunks & Other Things. "Yes" not only do get an interesting read you get the full Josh romping among the flora.

Hey, what more could you ask for in a dog days of Summer Hump Day & Chill, I ask you? Answer me, I asked, c'mon don't be shy...alright have it your way, and do it your way by clicking on the link below.

What a feeling!

James Durbin Out!



James Durbin has left the building. "Yes" the rumor is true, he's vacated the role of Quiet Riot frontman. 

Durbin joined the veteran heavy hard rock band in March 2017. Formed in 1973, Quiet Riot had its biggest hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983 with “Cum on Feel the Noize,” a cover of Slade’s 1973 U.K. hit. The Quiet Riot version peaked at No. 5 on the Hot 100.

As you recall Durbin also made a not so Quiet Riot of his own when he was placed fourth on Season 10 of American Idol.

Evolving is a part of life, when the time comes to do other things, you know it and had better pay attention to your inner voice. James told Entertain Me about his not being with the band - 

"I'm proud of and grateful for my time in Quiet Riot, but I'm really looking forward to releasing a new EP in early 2020, and working on various new projects. Including Voice Over acting for Disney/Star Wars: "Choose Your Destiny" 

My hometown rock cover band The Lost Boys and California country band Homeland Revival. As well as any new opportunities that come my way."


Best wishes buddy and "May the force be with you" always.

Monday Motivation

Feeling It
Michael Shinafelt
While heading into my last two weeks of wearing a cast to recover from surgery I began pondering my life overall and you know what? It's been a good one. "Yes" rather than focus on the fact that I have lost some of the shape I worked so hard for, I chose to focus on the fact that I really haven't lost that much. (it's true, it didn't  go down as badly as I thought it would) -

Thus today's Monday Motivation is Gratitude. Gratitude comes when you meditate and clear your mind of all the BS that doesn't matter. It takes a strong person with a lot of will power to do this because in a Social Media age everything is pretty under a microscope and most things are magnified to hold more weight than they actually do.

So while in a calm state I made a check list of things I am grateful for, Gratitude. What are those thing? None of your business 😇 Trust Me the process is one that should be practiced everyday to achieve the outcome one wants of it. That would be to be a happier person so you can attract what you want in your life and shut down the rest of it.

Just do it! When you tend to your own well being it reflects to the universe and gets magnified back at you. Would I lie to you? No way...!!!

PS  Some additional wisdom, beware of petty narcissist, they are insidious 😲

What's Happening Here?!

Hello Angels
l-r
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lucy Liu, Alicia Silverstone

Glancing at the photo of this toothsome threesome can you guess What's Happening Here?! Well we know these three are not united for the upcoming Charlie's Angels reboot that stars Kristen Stewart and two other women I've never heard of. Perhaps they are assembled to quietly judge all of us? Or maybe see, speak and her no evil?

Well if you guessed that Sarah Michelle Gallar, Lucy Liu & Alicia Silverstone are taking a one of a kind photo-op at the Christian Siriano show during New York Fashion Week, come on down, you win!

One of the thing I love about seeing photo-ops of celebrities at Fashion Week is you get some most strange bedfellows together in one room and thus a unique photo of peeps you would never see together anywhere else.

Smiles everyone, smiles!
