OPEN POST: Will You See The Odyssey?

Image
Credit: Universal Pictures It seems like half of Hollywood is starring in The Odyssey: Zendaya, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, the list goes on! To say the latest Nolan film is star-studded would be an understatement. My local subreddit was talking about they even did a special 70MM IMAX screening complete with a presentation from the projectionists. By all accounts, this is an epic movie with epic reception. So far it has grossed nearly $40 million and that number will surely multiply quickly.  So, Peckers, have you seen it yet? Do you plan to?

It's Post-a-Pup Friday! Wheeeeee! Is that allowed? Why, yes, in fact, it is. So finish your coffee and show us your cutest or fiercest pups, won't you? Points if they're yours. By the way, did you know? Just like human fingerprints, every dog’s nose print is completely unique, so think of that the next time you "boop" one.

Open Post: Drove My Chevy To The Levee But The Levee Was Dry!

In 1956, there was a ton of great movies, including the Doris Day smash "The Man Who Knew Too Much ," a Hitchcock remake of his own original  (not to be confused with the cinematic masterpiece "The Man Who Blew Too Much") (which sits alongside other esteemed works like “Bonfire of the Panties,” “Free My Willy,” “The Loin King,” “H.R. Muff ‘n Stuff,” “Bang the Nun Slowly,” “A Rimmer Runs Through It,” “Spray It Forward,” "Schindler's Fist" and “The Legend in Bagger’s Pants.”).  The Platters had a big hit that year with "(You've Got The) Magic Touch " and a few years later they recorded one of the biggest hits of the decade, the immortal..."The Great Pretender:" So let's roll down the windows, drive along the shore and listen to the radio, and see what kind of good trouble we can get into.

OPEN POST: Haaland and his Raccoon Souvenir

Image
Credit: Jan Langhaug/AF Erling Haaland, who quickly became the darling of the 2026 World Cup, sadly had to return home to Norway after his country's recent loss against England in the quarterfinals. Luckily he didn't leave empty-handed: the 25-year old brought home a taxidermied raccoon holding a whiskey bottle. Well it's not hard to tell he was staying in Texas! He later shared a photo with his new friend, stating it "followed him home" and he asked fans for name suggestions.  While Haaland was busy stealing our hearts, it looks like Dallas stole his. Here he is posing at the famous Wild Bill's Western Store: Credit: instagram Yeehaw!

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Mesmerizing Rose Murphy!

Greetings music luvuhs, and welcome to another edition of Manor Music Mondays, today with a singer who's guaranteed to work you over like the world's best anti-depressant. No, for reals. Feeling down in the dumpity-doo and want to feel happy? Feeling happy but want to feel happier? Then this is the gal for you. Tonight only at the Manor's exclusive "Touch-A, Touch-A, Touch Me" lounge and dinette, DJ Li'l Scratch will be spinning all of her tunes, and just wait, you'll be giggling and dancing and drinking and doing who knows what-all because if it. Ready? Make way for "Chee-Chee!" Rose "Chee-Chee" Murphy, to be specific, who had a happy, trilling voice you won't soon forget. If you've only heard her sing a few numbers, you might think her vocals are gimmicky and perhaps not worth a full album, much less a whole bevy of them. Think again. However she did the voodoo she do, she found incredible variety in her high, birdlike voice, ...

OPEN POST: Raincoaster's Sunday Roast With Vincent Price!

Image
Greetings, Manorites, this is Raincoaster, and I'd like to welcome you to Peckerwood's very first Sunday Roast! This week we feature that darling of darkness, Vincent Price: He was a Yale man and a frustrated Shakespearean who was typecast early (and very lucratively) as the ultimate horror villain. But he was also an art connoisseur, Francophile, and gourmet who briefly hosted his own cooking show; yes, in the old days celebrity chefs were actual celebrities. There’s also a cookbook , which is highly recommended if you like French cuisine. Bonus points to anyone who guesses the second celebrity chef in the photo. Photo Credits: Shutterstock, TransAmerica
