The Creators of ALIEN Bring A New Terror To Earth Something very strange is happening in the quiet coastal village of Potters Bluff, where tourists and transients are warmly welcomed… then brutally murdered. But even more shocking is when these slain strangers suddenly reappear as normal, friendly citizens around town. Now the local sheriff (James Farentino of THE FINAL COUNTDOWN) and an eccentric mortician (Academy Award® winner Jack Albertson of WILLY WONKA & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY) must uncover the horrific secret of a community where some terrifying traditions are alive and well… and no one is ever really DEAD & BURIED. Melody Anderson (FLASH GORDON), Lisa Blount (PRINCE OF DARKNESS), and Robert Englund (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) co-star in this genuinely chilling horror hit written by Ronald Shusett and Dan O’Bannon (ALIEN), directed by Gary A. Sherman (POLTERGEIST III), and featuring ultra-grisly gore effects by Oscar® winner Stan Winston (JURASSIC PARK). In honor of its 40th Anniversary, Blue Underground is proud to present DEAD & BURIED in an eye-popping new restoration approved by Director of Photography Steven Poster, ASC (DONNIE DARKO), scanned in 4K 16-bit from its 35mm IP, with Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio, and packed with exclusive new and archival Extras!

Michael's Musings

Look, I'm Fully Vaccinated
Michael Shinafelt

That's correct Minions, I'm fully vaccinated and magnetized for your enjoyment. So scratch that tin foil hat you were thinking of buying me as a potential Birthday gift this year. No one needs one of those when they are magnetized it would mess with the frequency, Kenneth. 

Oh, and in other news, yeah, there's this...

Tell me all the beautiful and untrue things. Tell me damn it!

10 second warning, just looking out for you, Darlin'

Who needs to go to sleep, when I've got you next to me under my umbrella

Throw your head back and spit in the wind, it's a game called life

Hang with me or be scared, the choice is yours

I call the shots, Jack Daniels please!!!

Caught Zack and Miri Make A Porno on Netflix, With Seth Rogen & Elizabeth Banks. The filth those two spouted at the top of the film, refreshing 💦

Baby elephants rolling in palm leaves, discuss

Woman Crush of the Week - Simone Biles for winning a record 7th title and being the first Simone Biles ever!

Garbage has a new album out No Gods No Masters. Well I say that could be wrong. I have seen Shirley Manson live and she at the very least qualifies as a Master

Yep, I knew it Bravo teased the Erika Jayne drama in last week's trailer for RHOBH and then did us dirty by showing it in only the last two minutes of the show. But that means this coming week, buckle up Minions! 

BTW Val Demings is going to slay Marco Rubio

Summer is near, birds are sitting in their little rocking chairs

I'm hatching a plan

Hump Day & Chill

Solid As A...
Rock Hudson

While browsing Tye Briggs Favorite Hunks & Other Things I came across a piece he did on Hollywood Legend Rock Hudson and his status as a gay icon. Honestly the piece is a great read and has some yummy photos of Rock that will fuel your Hump Day & Chill I tell you what.

This being Pride Month I thought it would be great to present this as Tye has really done his homework and gives his own unique perspective on Hudson, and his own personal coming out story in relation to the icon.

"Yes" again there are some Hump Day & Chill worthy images to satiate your lust, don't worry, you'll be happy 😉

Keep on keeping and hit the link below...I said below <eg>

"Born This Way"

Lady Gaga

Being that it recently celebrated it's 10th Anniversary, Being that it's Tuesday Tunesday and Being that it is Pride Month. Here's Lady Gaga with the ultimate Pride Anthem, Born This Way!

This is clearly a mash-up of Madonna's Express Yourself & Vogue, with Gaga's own spin on them. BTW for those of you who think she did this without Madonna's permission, uh, think again.

Madonna is biz savvy and having this out there keeps her relevant, enough said.

While this is far from my favorite Pride Anthem, it is always a staple, not to mention it is on the forefront of everyone's mind this Pride Season because of the Birthday it recently celebrated.

Hey there are far worse things to do than get your Gaga during this time of unity and love, so why not hit the video below???

I Scream, You Scream...

Yummy!
Katy Perry

We all scream for ice cream!!! Today we specifically scream for chocolate and lot's of it, yummy! Because guess what Minions, it's National Chocolate Ice Cream Day...Yay!

Personally I am not much of an ice cream imbiber. Perhaps I consume it once a year, give me pizza any time over the sweet treat. Yet, should I ever decide to cross over to the creamy side it would definitely be of the chocolate variety.

So let's start our week with Katy Perry by getting our licks on, shall we? We shall!!!

Nom, nom, nom...

Best Sunday Dress

His Sunday Best!
Billy Porter

"Put on my best Sunday dress, and I walk straight into this..." - Best Sunday Dress, Hole

Do you see what I see? Why it's Billy Porter celebrating Pride in his Best Sunday Dress, which is all the colors of the rainbow, naturally.

I admire Billy, his talent, his activism, his fashion sense but most of all his choice to be himself. That to me at least, is where the power of Celebrating Pride lies. Choosing to be one's authentic self.

Thus it's great to have individuals like Porter help show those struggling that you can do exactly that.

Get out your Best Sunday Dress and celebrate yourself!

Saturday Sinema: Omerta: The Act Of Silence

 

Omerta: The Act of Silence 

New film takes a detailed look inside organized crime in Brooklyn

Coming to DVD and digital platforms on June 8th

Set in the iconic Italian neighborhood of Bensonhurst, Omerta: The Act of Silence is a peek inside the operation of the Mafia, at a time when the organization had a firm grip on day-to-day living in the area. The word Omerta describes a code of silence about criminal activity and a refusal to give evidence to authorities.

This is the story of 18-year-old Reno who is given a taste of power when he joins the Mob’s system of endearment and enforcement. The neighborhood is kept safe and businesses flourish. But the methods are ruthless and ultimately self-destructive.

Reno quickly learns that pledging his life to the organization is nothing more than becoming a pawn in a deadly game of street chess. As the neighborhood changes and those who have pledged themselves to the crime syndicate move away, Reno is forced to confront the fact that the oaths of loyalty and devotion to one another are nothing but false promises and misplaced trust.

He is forced to confront himself and concludes that he must change his ways. With no friends or family for support, he turns to the local parish priest and confesses his sins as he takes the first steps toward personal renewal. He confesses his sins to the priest. As he reflects on his past, he takes the viewer on a journey through the crimes he has committed and the friends he has lost.

Filmmaker Craig Syracusa, founder of God’s Plan Productions, says, “I made the film to show the power of redemption and forgiveness and that God will meet you where you are and that we are all sinners and through the power of confession we are forgiven. This film is for people who need to build a relationship with Christ but are afraid that God will not forgive them.”

Omerta stars veteran Hollywood actor Joe Estevez and introduces Paulie Malignaggi, the former professional boxer who held the IBF junior welterweight and the WBA welterweight titles.

The cast also includes: Joseph D’ Onofrio, Carmen Argenziano, Cara Castronuova, Adam Nelson, Will Wallace, Gaetano Iacono, and Ceazar Reyes.
