“Sherry Vine is extremely funny. She practically invented being a slutty blonde sexy campy hilarious Drag queen. Well, she may be too young to have invented it, but she definitely perfected it.

Do You Believe In Fairies?

I Believe!
Katy Perry

If you believe in fairies, clap your hands! After spying this photo of Katy Perry looking like Tinkerbell's doppelganger I have to say perhaps I do...at the very least I believe in the magic of Katy Perry, there's that.

From the looks of it I am guessing last night was Disney night on American Idol, I wouldn't have known other than having seen Katy Perry living her best Tinkerbell life on the AI stage.

Yeah, I stopped watching Idol after Adam Lambert's runner up season, heck I don't even watch The Voice. I'm just not that into all that jazz.

However, Katy Bell as I hereby decree her moving forward has me wanting to clap my hands and believe in fairies, even though I know she's all dressed up for an AI theme show there is magic in her ensemble and I feel with the correct amount of fairy dust....one can dream, can't one???

Believe!

Punk The Capital

Punk the Capital: Building a Sound Movement

A documentary tracing the birth of punk rock in Washington D.C. (1976-1983)

Featuring Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Void, Rites of Spring, and more, with interviews

from Henry Rollins, Ian MacKaye, H.R., Jello Biafra, Joe Keithley, and many others

Premiering exclusively in Theaters and on Virtual Cinema nationwide beginning May 14th

DVD / Blu-ray to be released for National Record Store Day on June 8th via Passion River 

When punk rock erupted in Washington DC, it was a mighty convergence of powerful music, friendships, and clear minds. This film is the first to explore the incredible challenges that this subculture faced when it took root in the Nation’s Capital in the late 1970’s. Punk the Capital situates DC punk within the larger narratives of rock n' roll, working as a powerful multi-layered story for both fans and non-fans of punk rock. Featuring musicians such as Bad Brains, Henry Rollins, Ian MacKaye, and Jello Biafra, this film dives deep into the ideas and sounds from this transformative music scene which continues to be influential culturally and politically around the world. Created by James June Schneider (Co-Director, Editor), Paul Bishow (Co-Director), and Sam Lavine (Associate Producer, Co-Editor), Punk the Capital is Punk the Capital has been on the road since its World Premiere weekend in Washington D.C. held simultaneously at the American Film Institute and the Hirshhorn Museum (Sound Scene festival). The filmmakers took the film around the USA and Europe to festivals, cinematheques, cinemas, galleries and community spaces. It has been selected for festivals including In-Edit (Barcelona and Brazil) BAFICI, Leeds International Film Festival, and Sound Unseen. Each screening has been an event, with at least one of the filmmakers present and for the majority of dates, there has been a special guest (Henry Rollins, Ian MacKaye, Cynthia Connolly, HR of Bad Brains and many others.) The goal of the team was to reach 100 consecutive in-person events. They made it to 50 before the pandemic began. "We were touring the film like a band would until the pandemic hit. Now as things open back up, we're glad to kick off the theatrical release for a variety of reasons. Some of the cinemas where Punk the Capital will be showing, I screened my films back in 1997 when filmmaker Martha Colburn and I hit the road together. I've been thinking about them as we piece this together. Before we release the film on DVD/Blu-ray we wanted to undertake a big push with a theatrical release, part virtual, part in person, that I hope will do its part in getting some of these struggling indie cinemas some much-needed support. And we also are looking forward to sharing the film in these times since it's an optimistic film essentially about building something new and constructive despite the odds. The final version of our film that we're releasing now is just the intense tip of the iceberg - our first cut was 7 hours long. In the end, we wound up focusing on the untold and improbable story of punk rock's beginnings in Washington DC, that happened concurrently with cities across the western world. We took a lot of our extra material that otherwise might never have been seen and edited it together to make short films that will be in the bonus section on the DVD (and Blu-ray). One of the shorts focuses on the band Scream and their family connections to DC's 1960's legendary garage band scene. As we roll the film out, we've been blown away by the positive response not just from fans of punk and DC punk who see and hear a lot of unseen material. We've also heard from a lot of people even up to 90 years old who don't really like punk but who nonetheless love the film. We're glad to see that Punk the Capital works on a lot of levels and are hoping that it will reach a broad audience since the DIY ideas highlighted in the film about the DC punk scene go well beyond the music."

What Timothee Chalamet Does During A Pandemic?

Timothee Chalamet

Ever wonder what Timothee Chalamet has been doing during the Pandemic? Well Mr. Chalamet recently took to his Instagram and stated "I've been playing with myself all day."

How's that for honesty? Well it turns out Timothee, who stars in the upcoming adaptation of Dune was quite literally doing just that "playing with himself." 

"Yes" Minions he was playing with his Dune action figure based on him from the upcoming movie. I know what you all were thinking and that I am sure is also true as well. 

Here is a photo he posted of the action figure posed on his coffee table who looks like he's about to head into an epic journey across the living room.

There you have it, the secret is out, like all of us, Timothee Chalamet plays with himself all day during a Pandemic.
