OPEN POST: June Squibb and ScarJo at TIFF

Image
Credit: Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Here are June Squibb and Scarlett Johansson on the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival last night. 95-year old Squibb stars in Johansson's directorial debut,  Eleanor the Great.   The film is about a nonagenarian named Eleanor who decides to make the move from Florida to New York after the death of her best friend, Bessie. In a bid to meet new people, Eleanor finds herself in a support group for Holocaust survivors. She passes her late best friend's survival story off as her own, and garners the attention of a 19-year old journalism student who wants to write a piece on Eleanor. The two begin to form a close bond, but how long before the truth comes out? The movie has received mixed reviews, with Variety writer Owen Gleiberman calling it an "unconvincing crowd pleaser." Letterboxd reviewers praised Squibb's performance but found the film to be "pedestrian."  Are there any films from TIFF that have piqued ...

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Smooth As Silk Annita Ray!

Image
Greetings, music sloots, and welcome to another edition of Music Manor Monday! Tonight at the Manor's exclusive Kweef Korner Lounge, DJ Li'l Scratch will introduce a forgotten artist who'll remind you of people nowadays that give their children names like Kathron or Mellowdee or Creeklyn or Amaziyah and other such fuckery. Back in the day, all you had do was an an extra letter to be dIfFeReNt. Like an extra "n." As in Annita. No, really. I'm not sure why this was done. It's like meeting someone named "Johnn" or Suue" or "Maaggy" (and how do even you pronounce Annita?) (do you stutter?). Regardless, the one and only Annita Ray had a unique career. In the 1960s, she and singer Diane Hall were known as "girl bookends" for bandleader Ray Anthony - or singing window-dressing for the more "important" Ray and his musicians. By that time, Annita was likely used to being undervalued. But she kept on keeping on, even reco...

Sunday Cats & Dogs: Post those Pups and Kitties!

Image
Caturday came and went, smug as always, with the cats preening like they own the joint (and to be fair, they probably do). But now the dogs have stormed the gates, demanding their turn. They insist Sunday belongs to them, and frankly, have you ever tried arguing with a Labrador who thinks democracy means “fetch until collapse”? So here we are: Sunday, split down the middle. Cats glaring from the back of the sofa like minor royals forced to mingle with the peasants, while dogs skid across hardwood floors, ears flapping like busted parachutes. Every household is currently a Cold War between the aloof and the overeager. This is your chance to document the madness: cats who plot from the shadows, dogs who weaponize drool, or any creature who believes the couch is a throne and you are but their valet. Extra credit if you catch the rare détente—cat and dog curled up together, pretending they’re not sworn enemies until breakfast. Post your tyrants, loafers, divas, and bed-hogs. The stage is y...

Oh, hi there! You've just found me having my morning coffee, and I know what you're thinking, "Wow, Sebastian, did you wake up like this?" And the answer is YES, I always wake up like this! But please, don't be jealous. Glamour is in the eye of the beholder, and BEHOLD, what a sight you lovelies are indeed. Muah. Happy Sunday!

OPEN POST: The First Millennial Saint!

Image
On September 7th, Pope Leo XIV will preside over his first canonization mass. Carlo Acutis, a British-born Italian who died of leukemia in 2006 at the age of 15, will be granted sainthood during this ceremony. In his short life, Carlo learned computer coding and built websites to help share his faith. For this reason, he was called "God's influencer" - how Millennial-coded indeed! The teen was praised for prioritizing his faith and being compassionate toward others while also juggling the regular responsibilities of a young teen. In order to become canonized, the Catholic church requires that a person have at least two miracles attributed to them. And Carlo has met that threshold: in 2013 the mother of a 4-year old child suffering from a pancreatic birth defect prayed to Carlo and claims that her child subsequently experienced a full recovery. Then in 2022, a Costa Rican woman whose daughter had suffered from severe head trauma after a bicycle accident had made a pilgrima...

    Originally from Daily Mirror - September 1984 CUPS OF CHEER FROM THE BAND IMAGINE the problem. The birthday boy has everything under the sun. He’s world famous, he’s a millionaire, and he’s also a king-sized extrovert. He also loves a joke like the next man. He is rock superstar Freddie Mercury. And the only guys who can hold a candle to him are his mates in Queen, Roger Taylor, John Deacon and Brian May. Yesterday they presented him with a cake you probably wouldn’t see on display at the local bakery. Happy birthday, Freddie, and Happy Friday, hors!
