Look up the definition of “mind fuck” and you’re likely to see a picture of David Lynch’s Lost Highway (1997) next to it. No surprise, as the legendary filmmaker’s work has even inspired an adjective to describe this unique brand of mind fuckery (“Lynchian”), thanks especially to the television series Twin Peaks and films like … Continue reading Lost Highway

Michelle Monday
Let’s ease into the work week by gazing upon some seriously sexy Michelle photos. If she doesn’t combat those Monday morning blues, nothing will. Apparently, these photos were “touched up” by Esquire staff, an industry-wide practice that has gone on for decades. Such a shame, as anyone with working eyes and a brain in their … Continue reading Michelle Monday

Late Night Memories
As you no doubt remember, because I harp on about it frequently, I spent most Friday and Saturday nights in the early to mid-1990s watching B-movies on late-night television. And when Rhonda Shear hosted these gonzo cult movies on USA Up All Night I was absolutely glued to the boob tube. Ahem *cough cough* I … Continue reading Late Night Memories
Hot Shots of the Week: Karen’s Got a Gun
Wake up, Henry. She’s sorry!! Just a little love for Lorraine Bracco and the late, great Ray Liotta in Goodfellas (1990). Speaking of love, and at the risk of oversharing (uh oh, cringe warning), I loved the harrowing bedroom scene a lot when I was a teenager.
