Acting Trashy

Taking Out The Trash
Carrie Fisher

Carrie Fisher aka Princess Leia of the Star Wars fame had a razor sharp sense of humor as most of you know, But what I didn't know was how trashy she really acted. "Yes" I came across this montage of images featuring Carrie in, well trash cans.

It isn't clear if these "Trashy Cheek" (Cheek as in Chic/Cheeky, yeah I made up a new term) photos are all part of the same shoot or a couple of individual ones. From the looks of they were shot by the same photographer at the same time, "Yes" I am Michael Photo Detective!

Moving on...I love these photos as they capture Ms. Fisher and her wicked (in a good way) wit and her lust for living.

I'll simply leave these here for you to project your own thoughts and feelings on to them, T.G.I.F! & Carrie On!!!

Michael's Musings

Do I Have Any F#cks? Not One, Go Fish!
Michael Shinafelt

For some odd reason that only the shadow knows, giving Zero F#cks was my jam this past week. Was it calculated? Uh, no, yet somehow friends kept sending me a plethora of Memes and TikTok videos addressing this very subject matter. Thus it took on a life, mine in particular of it's own.

Buckle up Minions you are in for a perpendicular ride!!!

Maybe if we wait just a little bit longer a F#ck will fall into my hand and I can give it to you

Finally saw Run starring Sarah Paulson, it was like a modern take on Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. Oh yes, it was campy like the latter as well!

I cum in peace, think about it, but not too much

Does your babysitter laugh when you stop, look & listen?

Before there were emojis, there was Lucy, as in I Love Lucy, not the one in the sky with diamonds

What happens when a Nun and a Clown are alone together in the same room?

Ewan McGregor is great in Halston, that is all

The guy in the middle, yeah him, what is he, skiing???

Woman Crush of the Week - Crystal Minkoff. The newest cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is really bringing it!!!

Sometimes your shadow has more fun than you, the more you know...

Dear McDonald's I didn't order a Mc WAP 

Why does the albino squirrel come to your door, stare at you and rubs it's nipples?!

There's something in the corner of your room at night, making you aware

I need some sort of warning label attached to my person

Hump Day & Chill

Who's Hotter?
William Shatner & Leonard Nimoy

Here's something shall we say rather unique, this week's Hump Day & Chill is dedicated to all you Trekkies out there who found Captain Kirk (William Shatner) or Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) of Star Trek fame, dare we say "out of this world."

Leave it to Tye Briggs via his Favorite Hunks & Other Things blog to dedicate a post to the classic TV show with copious images of a shirtless Kirk and Spock on it. 

Oh wait, there's more, skin that is...did you know that William Shatner did a love scene where he appeared nude with Angie Dickinson in Big Bad Mama? Yeah, there's that.

Wait for it, and that Leonard Nimoy also appeared nude in the movie Catlow? Whether you did or did not, all you need for today's Hump Day & Chill is a lust for Kirk or Spock, perhaps both, stirring in your loins.

Jesus Christ Movie Star

BearManor Media Announces June 7 Release

Of Jesus Christ Movie Star, a New Book by Phil Hall

BearManor Media is proud to present Jesus Christ Movie Star, the new book by the award-winning film historian and podcaster Phil Hall. The 176-page illustrated book will be available beginning on June 7 in a $22.00 paperback edition and a $32.00 hardcover edition.

 

The life of Jesus Christ has challenged and inspired filmmakers from the pioneering works of the late 1890s through today’s digital cinema. No other life story has been the subject of so many films, with so many wildly different interpretations. 

 

The big screen Jesus has traveled through multimillion dollar epics and microbudget underground films, recreating the miracles of the Gospels while also advocating for modern political issues. Moviegoers have seen Jesus walk on water and conquer death, and also break into show tunes and play straight man to a zany Bette Midler. Films about Jesus have inspired a diverse range of controversies, ranging from a groundbreaking copyright infringement lawsuit brought by Thomas Edison to an intellectual scandal that rocked the 1964/65 New York World’s Fair to accusations of anti-Semitism against Mel Gibson’s distinctive interpretation of the New Testament. 

 

Phil Hall, author of the critically acclaimed books The History of Independent Cinema and In Search of Lost Films and host of the award-winning podcast The Online Movie Show, takes the reader on the most extraordinary odyssey in cinematic studies by tracing how filmmakers from across the years and around the world have sought to fill theaters with the story of Jesus. Beloved classics and bizarre curios are part of this memorable journey as the “light of the world” brings illumination through the lens of a movie projector.

Monday Motivation

Get The Party Started!
Pink & Daughter Willow

While very few of are able to fly with the greatest of ease from a trapeze or anything like it hanging in mid air. Leave it to Pink, who won the Icon Award at last night's BBMA's to show off her acrobatic skills yet again with daughter Willow along ride.

Thus this is all the Monday Motivation you need to kick your week off. That's correct Minions, it's let loose your inner acrobat and push it, real good!

Everyone has an inner acrobat and something that holds them back from reaching those acrobatic heights. You do realize at this point I am using acrobat as a metaphor I hope. I certainly don't think everyone can do the Mother/Daughter act that Pink and Willow did last night. This being stated there are many extraordinary things that each of us as individuals are capable of and know we can achieve, yet...

You get the picture. 

It's a new day, and a new week, Monday Motivation is here and it's going to ride you like the horse you are so just do it!

Saturday Sinema: Mackintosh and T.J.

 

Newly Restored 4K Edition Of Mackintosh and T.J. Starring The Legendary Roy Rogers In His Final Film Appearance Coming May 18th

Featuring music by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, the American Western is set for debut on Blu-ray and DVD via Verdugo Entertainment and MVD Verdugo Entertainment will launch the newly restored 4K version of the 1975 classic Mackintosh and T.J. on Blu-ray and DVD. The modern day American western stars the legendary “King of the Cowboys” Roy Rogers, in his final feature film appearance.    Distributed by Verdugo Entertainment and MVD Entertainment Group, the film is also streaming now on Amazon Prime, Vudu, You Tube and Google Play.    Mackintosh and T.J. is described as “a moving photo album of ranch life in Texas in the mid-1970s.” Screenwriter Paul Savage, most known for his TV work in Wagon Train, Big Valley, and Gunsmoke, penned the film specifically with Roy Rogers in mind. The film is one of the few in which Roy Rogers did not play himself, portraying instead the title character of Mackintosh, a veteran ranch hand.    In the film, wandering through rural Texas ranch country, Mackintosh becomes a father figure for the young and homeless T.J. (Clay O’Brien) and helps him to stay on track. They land jobs on the ranch of Jim Webster, where Mackintosh proves his skills as a horse tamer. When a murder takes place, Mackintosh is framed which leads to dramatic events.  The film was restored to 4K from the original 35MM camera negative, including audio cleanup and went through a color correction process to match the original film. Colorist Sean Lawrence comments, “Our color correction approach was to try and be as true to the original intention and not impose modern color correction aesthetics. Were the filmmakers alive to see it, we would want them to feel that this matched their original vision.”   Mackintosh and TJ’s original score is by Waylon Jennings and the soundtrack features songs by Jennings and country music icon Willie Nelson.   The film was recently spotlighted in the What is a Western? Interview Series: Ranching, Rodeo and Roy Rogers produced by The Autry Museum and featuring a lively discussion with rodeo world champion Larry Mahan (who also has a role in the movie), and film historians C. Courtney Joyner and Stuart Rosebrook. The panelists discuss the realistic portrayal of 20th century rodeo and ranching life in movies, particularly in Roy Rogers’ final film, and explore the significance of the Western genre and the ways in which the movies shape our understanding of the American West. Watch the full episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg7MaCOzEe4   “It isn’t a Roy Rogers movie, it’s a wonderful movie that Roy Rogers is in that reflects quite a bit of 1970’s sensibility,” says Joyner.   “Roy Rogers’ character Mackintosh seems to be an amalgamation of some of those characters we saw in Junior Bonner, J W Coop, The Honkers - men out of time, men who have values, who still follow the ‘Code of The West.’ So that message came across very strong,” comments Rosebrook.   “Producer Tim Penland wanted to do older style Westerns,” explains Mahan. “He had quite an extensive Christian background, and he wanted to get away from what he saw in Westerns, as there was too much violence, and he wanted to do something that was more in line with his values.”   Order Here: https://mvdshop.com/search?type=product&options%5Bprefix%5D=last&q=Mackintosh+and+TJ
