Pinup of the Week

Somebody get me a ladder! I’m gonna need one to climb these legs… I’d hazard to guess that this gorgeous pinup shot has been shared here at the Starfire Lounge more often than any other single image. It doesn’t take a genius to see why. It’s a truly stunning photo from 1980, featuring an absolute … Continue reading Pinup of the Week →

We Live in Overstimulated Times

At the end of last year, I mentioned how exhausting it is being alive in the twenty-first century.

Giallogy: Cold Eyes of Fear

Two Giallogy posts in the same week? And back-to-back, no less? To what do we owe this treat? Well, Cold Eyes of Fear (971), that’s what. However, I must admit up front that Enzo G. Castellari’s film isn’t really a giallo at all. It’s more of a languidly paced home invasion thriller. When a man … Continue reading Giallogy: Cold Eyes of Fear →
