I’ve got a pfever, and the only prescription is more Pfeiffer. In honor of tonight’s full harvest moon glowing orange in the night sky, I’m watching Wolf (1994) again for the umpteenth time. An annual October watch for me, Wolf is obviously also tailor-made for full moon viewing. You’ve heard of full moon fever? Well, … Continue reading Full Moon Pfever

Michelle Monday
One of my favorite scenes in Wolf (1994) is when Michelle Pfeiffer’s Laura Alden enters her would-be lover Will Randall’s (Jack Nicholson) hotel room for a sexy rendezvous, only to find Will handcuffed to the radiator. It’s a preemptive move by Will to keep himself locked away in the room on the night of a … Continue reading Michelle Monday
Michelle Monday
In my demented mind, we’ve already been living in the spooky season forever, but for more normies, October is when their thoughts turn to thoughts of witches, goblins, full moons and whatnot.

By my count, I’ve managed to have double digit posts here every single month since the fall of 2022.

Before that, I always struggled to get even six or … Continue reading Feeding the Beast

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
Hot Shots of the Week: Wolfing Around with Michelle
I adore Mike Nichols’ Wolf (1994), but every time I watch it—and I try to watch it every October—I’m utterly gobsmacked that he got Michelle Pfeiffer to film that completely bonkers final showdown. As good guy Wolfman Jack (Nicholson) looks on from inside a cage, bad guy Wolfman James Spader uses his hairy paws to … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Wolfing Around with Michelle
Howl at the Moon
The year's biggest supermoon is illuminating the night sky this week. So of course my mind conjures thoughts of the glorious Jack Nicholson-Michelle Pfeiffer collaboration, Mike Nichol's howlin' at the moon look at a midlife crisis, Wolf (1994). I'm picturing a hirsute Jack making jokes about the Hair Club for Men, and a flawless Michelle … Continue reading Howl at the Moon
