Michelle Monday: Artificial Edition

As a lifelong artist myself, I’ve been struggling to accept art generated from artificial intelligence (AI). It’s seemingly everywhere now, so whatever ethical qualms I might have about disrespecting artistic integrity or taking work away from real artists seem fairly moot at this point. I’m still holding onto those reservations, mind you, but I’m also … Continue reading Michelle Monday: Artificial Edition →

Late Night Memories: Lenora’s Midnight Rentals

This one’s pretty much a cheat, because Lenora’s Midnight Rental is actually a current horror hosting show. Obviously, I can’t have any nostalgic memories of it because it’s brand new to me. It’s been running on YouTube for a year or so now, but only recently crossed my radar. And boy howdy am I glad … Continue reading Late Night Memories: Lenora’s Midnight Rentals →

Morgan Monday

No one delivers the Monday motivation we all need quite like Mystical Morgan Fairchild. She conjures all sorts of feelings in us, if you know what I mean…and I think you do. Primetime soap Flamingo Road only last two seasons (1980–1982), but remains historically notable for being Morgan’s first, regular leading role on television. Here … Continue reading Morgan Monday →

Bombshells: Mara Corday

Born Marilyn Joan Watts on January 30, 1930 in Santa Monica, California, Mara Corday was an American showgirl, model, actress, Playboy Playmate and, as Wikipedia says, a “1950s cult figure.” That’s probably thanks to Playboy and the various westerns, horror, and science fiction B-movies she made during the fifties. The raven-haired Corday, who turned 94 … Continue reading Bombshells: Mara Corday →

Feeding the Beast

By my count, I’ve managed to have double digit posts here every single month since the fall of 2022. For most of the last year, to year-and-a-half, I’ve averaged around seventeen or eighteen posts per month. I can’t overestimate how shocking this is to me. Before that, I always struggled to get even six or … Continue reading Feeding the Beast →

Michelle Monday: Wolf at 30

One of my favorite Michelle Pfeiffer pfilms, Wolf, opened thirty years ago today, June 17, 1994. Wow. I swear to you, it was yesterday. There I sat, in a crowded theater, gazing upward, spellbound by Michelle’s utterly luminous visage. I was transfixed, residing firmly under her spell for the entire two hours, while my buddy … Continue reading Michelle Monday: Wolf at 30 →

Bad Girls We Love: Catwoman from The Dark Knight Rises

“It’s an ‘Ooops’ dripping in sexiness and insincerity, coming as it does after Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne interrupts her in the middle of a heist and before she dons her leather or rubber catsuit. The ‘Ooops’ and its Jean Harlow naughty-girl reading come early in the film and the rest of Hathaway’s performance seems to … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Catwoman from The Dark Knight Rises →
