My fellow writer, blogger, and longtime Pfeiffer pfanatic pfriend Paul from Pfeiffer Pfilms and Meg Movies has brought to my attention that the Starfire Lounge turns two years old this week. It feels like only yesterday, one month into a global pandemic that’s still going (sorta) strong, that I felt a spark of inspiration and … Continue reading Diamond Month

Five Easy Pieces
“I don't know if you'd be particularly interested in hearing anything about me. My life, I mean… Most of it doesn't add up to much that I could relate as a way of life that you'd approve of… I'd like to be able to tell you why, but I don't really… I mean, I move … Continue reading Five Easy Pieces
Michelle Pfeiffer: An Alternate Oscar History
On the occasion of the 94th Annual Academy Awards being handed out tonight, I thought it might be fun to right some wrongs and list ten times Michelle Pfeiffer deserved an Oscar nomination.

So long Stacy, and thanks for all the Pfeiffer

God, how … Continue reading So long Stacy, and thanks for all the Pfeiffer

And every time I’m struck by the same thought: it’s clear that Demme knew what he had in Michelle Pfeiffer’s face and, most importantly, he knew what do … Continue reading Eyes of Angela De Marco
Fractured
I have an unfortunate habit of breaking things to start a new year. Once it was a coffee pot on New Year’s Day. Other years it was some other appliances, each broken within the first few days of the new year. Never a great omen, if you believe in that sort of thing. Well, this … Continue reading Fractured
Bad Girls We Love: Selina Kyle/Catwoman from Batman Returns
Michelle Pfeiffer's performance in Tim Burton's deliciously twisted-Christmas-gothic-phantasmagoria Batman Returns (1992) is the best comic book movie performance of all time. This is not just my opinion; it's a fact, so let's not argue, okay? It's an astonishing piece of film acting, the kind that transcends mere performance and instead reaches a cosmic level of … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Selina Kyle/Catwoman from Batman Returns
