IT (2017)

Finished watching the new IT. Not a bad movie they done a good job with it. A whole cast of child actors and they were all really good.

FOOD

...because food rules and eating food rules.

Off the top of my noggin here's a little quiz for all you trash-types:

1. What's your favorite dinner food?

2. What's your favorite junk food?

3. What did you eat for breakfast today?

4. How often per week do you cook dinner from scratch? (or cook at home anyway, even if not from scratch)

5. What's your least favorite food?

6. What food have never tried that you would like to?

7. What food have you never tried that you are pretty sure will never cross your lips?

8. What's the last thing you ate? (food or not) 🥴

...and because beverages also rule (sort of- they worked out a joint deal with food):

9. What's your fav alcoholic drink?

10. Fav non-alcoholic drink?

What do you think of vegetarians?

I've always wondered how could anyone not eat meat? Sure, killing animals is cruel, but they shouldn't taste so good, am I right?

I read an article on Halloween Love that was pretty interesting: https://halloweenlove.com/meat-is-murder-the-texas-chain-saw-massacre-exposed-horrors-of-the-meat-industry/

Thoughts? Are you a vegetarian?

Rick and Morty go to the movies

burp

What movies did you buy or watch this week? (9-10)

I pre-ordered Fox With a Velvet Tail and Kill Baby Kill.

And finally got around to watching The Intruder last night. Thought it was pretty good. Not very bloody but at least it held my interest. It reminded me of several other movies, including Dementia 13, Five Dolls for an August Moon and Castle of Evil.

RIP Grant Hart

Trashed Teddies!

Onyx and I had this great idea. Remember Care Bears? Well, we're working on these new teddy bears that we're going to start selling, called Trashed Teddies. The drugged-out bears, in need of a place to unwind. So far, we have Bud Bear, Shroom Bear and Snow Bear, with more to come.

The Worst Ways to Die

I was rewatching Return of the Living Dead, (which has got to be one of the best if not the best zombie movie of all time) and got to thinking what are the worst ways to die? We all remember Trash and her opinion on the matter.



I think one of the worst ways to die would be the case of a man by the name of Hiroshi Ouchi. The irony of his last name is too perfect. Hiroshi was 35 years old when on September 30, 1999 he was splashed with an extremely lethal dose of radioactive material at his work. They kept him alive and in agony for 83 days to study him. There are many images of this poor man online, and his story is a terrifying one.

So what about you? What do you think are the worst ways to die?

Kim Richards with Elsa Lanchester

I think this is interesting. Kim Richards is on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which I think most people would agree is the ultimate Trash Epic. (I'm proud to say I've never even seen it, but I see enough references to it all over the $%^&•%$#@!ing internet that I feel that I can speak with great authority about this topic). Anyway, when she was six or seven years old, in 1971, she was on a show called Nanny and the Professor, and Elsa Lanchester co-starred with her on a few episodes. Elsa, of course, is best known to most of us here as The Bride of Frankenstein, from 1935. She was in her late 60's when she was on Nanny and the Professor.

That is really striking to me, to think of all the decades of combined show business experience you see, when you see Kim standing next to Elsa, talking to her. Together, they represent almost the entire history of Hollywood, at least in the era since silent films. Elsa Lanchester actually starred in a few silent films, but that was in London in the 20's, not Hollywood, so... whatever that means. Kim Richards is still hanging in there, of course... I had to Google this, but apparently she is a grandmother now, and there is an excellent chance that she will still be acting in the 2020s. So, that's a whole century of show business history right there, just in that one shot of Kim standing there with Elsa.

Here, I hope you can view the picture. If not, search on Google Images for Kim Richards in quotes, and Elsa Lanchester (not Lancaster, so be careful) also in quotes.

Born in 1791, filmed in 1905?!?

I have no idea if this is actually true, of course, but if you Google around you can find the same info I found. This old woman was the grandmother of two early filmmakers who were born in the 1870's and 1880's, Yanaki and Milton Manaki. They lived in the Ottoman Empire, in an area that is Macedonia today. Here, this is their grandmother weaving. Even if she wasn't born in 1791, she couldn't have been born later than the early 19th century.



This is about the Manaki brothers:
