OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Sensational Shirley Bassey!

I know what you're thinking (if you're 'Murican), and it might have to do with the outcome of certain polling and balloting or efforts to plebiscite (ten dollar word, amirite?) come the next few days. I know what else you're thinking: how can you possibly get excited about a fabulous Dame at a time like this? But DJ Li'l Scratch urges you to fight against such notions, for this is precisely time we should all be celebrating everything that is good and glamorous, and also brassy and bold and daaaaaamn. So tonight, you and yours are cordially invited to "Pork Steeple!", the Manor's after-hours bar and gourmet sandwich porkery, where DJ L'il Scratch will be spinning tunes from Wales' finest contribution to hot-cha!, jazz hands!  and wowza! Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the one, the only... ...Dame Shirley Bassey. There is no other. If you know her, and I bet'cha you do, you probably first think of her indelible tunes for three, count ...

PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! For the Week of 11/02/2026!

By
Image
However things turns out, it's obvious - happily so - that all of us ‘Murican Peckers are making sure to vote in the midterms. Why? Because we remember how close elections can be, like with Dubyuh v. Gore and Clinton v. Trash , not to mention Harris v. Trash II: Electric Boogaloo . Will the Democrats set things right if they secure both Houses? If they manage to do so, that leaves them two years to put through viable bills that will either pass, or - and this will be interesting - be vetoed by Trash, setting up RepubliKKKans to have a long record of foolery for the next Democrat Presidential candidate to campaign against.  Should they win, let’s also hope Democrats are targeted in terms of the many possible investigations they can start - into Jared , crypto , AI , Trash himself , et al - because unless there are real and actual criminal convictions as a result, they're completely useless (as Liz Cheney's illuminating, but useless, investigation showed, since it resulted i...

OPEN POST: The Sunday Roast featuring The House That Dripped Blood

By
Image
  Amicus Productions We're arbitrarily extending the spooky season to November 1, and by special request we're presenting The House That Dripped Blood, as a followup to Carnival of Souls from the other day.  This 1971 classic was produced by Amicus Films, a studio which specialized in horror anthologies like this one, each featuring 4 stories linked by a framing device. In this case, it's the house itself, and the sad and horrific histories of its ill-fated tenants.   As with many Amicus films, this one has a fabulous cast including Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, and Ingrid Pitt, the gorgeous Polish actress who escaped from the Nazis to make a new life in England. Each story is unique in tone, with the last having been intended as a comedy. When the money men watched the rough cut, they apparently flipped out and demanded it be re-cut as a drama, which sadly doesn't quite work. At least they kept the cute little jab he took at Lee in the dialogue (they were pals of...

OPEN POST: Carnival of Souls

By
Image
Harcourt Productions   This is Halloween! This is maybe the best movie to watch on Halloween, and it's an indie director's labour of love that originally tanked but ultimately became a huge cult hit.  This is Carnival of Souls.  Yes, the whole thing. A young woman, none too bright a bulb at that, is caught in a car accident. Upending her life, she moves to a new town and attempts to begin again, but the townspeople are strange and unfriendly. She's drawn to a weird carnival, where a bizarre man stalks her, but she cannot stay away.  Yeah, not too bright. On paper or pixels, it doesn't read like much, but trust...it's a classic for a reason.    Harcourt Productions

OPEN POST: "Laugh, Laugh," It's Open Post!

By AK

As best I can figure this is a '65 Mustang, and it probably costs more than I make in a year. Lots of great shows on TV in 1965, including "Batman." Lots of great songs, too. I listen to the oldies a lot of the time when I'm driving, and I love this one by the Beau Brummels because of the abrupt time/tempo changes--it's serious but goofy at the same time. So laugh, laugh, or chat, chat about whatever you want to, or even act a damn fool, ya' fool, or whatever you like--after all, it's Open Post, darlings! Photo Credit: AK

OPEN POST: Kum's Kutouts

  For some unknown reason,  All's Fair has been renewed for a second season. The show, which is produced by Ryan Murphy, stars Kum K as a leading lawyer in an LA law firm. Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts and (of course) Sarah Paulson also star in the show. They joined Kim at the Rome Photocall event yesterday.  Butt of course Kim had to remind us that she paid good money for her ass and we had better get a good look at it! ClAssy. What do you all think of this look, Peckers? Credit: allsfaironhulu/instagram
