EVENING NIGHTCAP: Jim Carrey Needs Money. Blake & Ryan Can't Dress. American Psycho Reboot.

By

 

► During an interview to promote his latest movie, Sonic The Hedgehog 3, Jim Carrey admitted the only reason he's reprising his role a Dr. Robotnik is because he needs money. Jim has kept a low profile for the past couple of years. Sounds like between making creepy videos about his love for Emma Stone (remember that...ew!) and becoming a painter (artist), the bills must be piling up. Or maybe he took a money management class from Tori Spelling at the Learning Annex. He supposedly has a net worth of $180 million and needs money? Um, okay. Anyway, Jim gargled out this quote about why he went back to the trough of the Sonic franchise for a quick payday. And no...he wasn't being funny nor kidding. Read More

"I bought a lot of stuff and I need the money, frankly." - Jim Carrey

Comment: I'd like to know what "stuff" he bought. I know art supplies can be expensive, but sheesh.. If he's having money issues, then give up on the idea of being the next Picasso.  I have 3 pieces of advice for Jim: 1) Get yourself Quicken - make a budget & stick it to; 2) Learn to live within your means; and 3) Stop spending money on junk.

► At a special screening for Wicked in NYC, Blake NotSoLively and Ryan Reynolds showed up looking like they got trapped in a time warp at a 1980's outlet mall. Blake wore an outfit that combined Old Navy outlet meets Dorothy's ruby red stripper heels. She accessorized it with a purse from the Alice Evans 5-Minute Craft Collezione. Meanwhile, Ryan's attire reflected his personality: basic man-bitch beige.  Read More

Comment: If this was Blake's idea of suburban mom pays homage to Wicked, she gets a "F". She and Ryan have turned into the most obnoxious thirsty media hos since Jennifer-Lopez-Noa-Judd-Almost Affleck-Anthony-Almost Rodriguez-Affleck-TBD. At their rate, they're going to win the triple crown for Overplayed, Overdone, and Overexposed Celeb.

► American Psycho, a classic 1991 novel by Bret Easton Ellis that in 2000 was made into a movie starring Christian Bale, is getting "reinterpreted" (translation: rebooted / remade/ rehash) with Austin Butler in the lead as Patrick Bateman. Fans of the book and movie were already pissed that there was talk about this happening. But now, reality has hit them over the head like Patrick's axe. The backlash about remaking it (ooops...I mean "reinterpreting") has been swift.  Hollywood didn't learn a thing when they made the disastrous sequel, American Psycho 2, with Mila Kunis and William Shatner.  Read More

"I’m sorry, we do NOT need a new American psycho film. i don’t care if Patrick Bateman himself is directing. No! Let something be sacred still."

"An American psycho remake is the last thing we need. American psycho is perfect as it is. that movie does not need improvements."

"I don’t want it. That’s how perfect AMERICAN PSYCHO already is."

Comment: American Psycho was a great movie. It was a breakout role for Christian Bale. He embodied to perfection the character of Patrick Batemen, the deranged yuppie of the 1980s who goes on a killing spree. I cannot see Austin Butler, who looks and acts like a Popsicle stick cosplaying k.d.lang, in the titular role of Patrick. Damn you Hollywood for ruining another classic movie.

Can you hear this painting like I can? Hone in on a conversation; what are they discussing? There's music playing; what does it sound like? There's an aroma in the air; what does it smell like? Who is your favorite guest? What's their name? What are they wearing? The little girl at the top of the stairs - what does she think of it all? Who are her parents? How long has she been there? Why is she there? How long until she's discovered and sent back to bed? Decades have passed; does she remember this night still? BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post? It's  RIGHT HERE .

  Here we are: the shortest day of the year, the longest night. Nature is slowly but surely continuing its cycle of rebirth and we will see brighter days ahead. It's the perfect time to reflect on the past year and consider what kind of light you'd like to bring into your life. A time of hope and renewal. I wish you all a happy Solstice!

OPEN POST: Take a Breath, Why Don't Ya?

Lots of holiday rigamarole commences next week, so if you can, carve out an hour or so today just for you . If you're lucky enough to have a puddytat, observe their silliness and play with them; if you have a dog, take them for a walk or to a dog park. And if you're bereft of furry creatures, take yourself for a walk, stop at a cafe, and drink a hot cup of joe or a cocoa - but without looking at your phone. Just sip, clear your mind, and do some Cyclic Breathing. Have you ever tried it? It's my favorite breathing technique: inhale deeply through your nose, follow immediately with a second breath (you can do it), hold it all in for a sec, then very slowly exhale through your mouth. Repeat several times. The slooooow exhale is what makes it so very relaxing, I promise. Cyclic Breathing is different from other breathing-type exercises because it involves a double inhalation and a long, even audible exhale.  But, hey, whatever brings you a few moments of peace today is worth do...
