    Rear reaction: Monroe statue shocks near church!

    This news coming from Stanford Connecticut..

    It’s a jarring sight for members of the First Congregational Church: The underwear-clad buttocks of Marilyn Monroe mooning the downtown parish.
    A 26-foot Seward Johnson statue illustrating the star in her iconic pose from “The Seven Year Itch” was installed this week in Latham Park as part of the Stamford Downtown Special Services District’s “Art in Public Places” series that lasts through the summer.
    But much like the subway grate stirred up her skirt, Monroe has created a whirlwind in just a few days in Stamford.
    Lorri Tamburro, a lifelong Stamford resident, was disturbed when she visited the statue with her husband and watched children climbing up Monroe’s leg and looking up her skirt.
    “I just find the position to be offensive,” she said. “It was, in my eyes, very disrespectful. I looked at it and I think because of what I saw with all these little kids looking up, the height is ruining it. It’s ruining beautiful Marilyn.”

    Officials said that social media has now led to a handful of calls about the location of the iconic image. The article goes on to report that children are eating their picnic lunches under the statue of the skirt flowing in the wind.

    Halloween forty years later: The night the trailer came home

    The official HALLOWEEN 40 trailer revealed..

    Reaction across the net has been strong and supportive.. While there were initial reports that the movie had to be re shot and re-screened to ensure viewer support (especially people angry at the end) this initial finished product trailer appears to capture the spirit of the original Halloween, along with the music and feel. There is one interesting part where people are asking if Michael Myers was Laurie Strode’s brother, with one person answering that it was just a rumor and not true.

    The mask in the film appears extremely similar to HALLOWEEN 2’s version..

    It will be interesting to see the way John Carpenter takes this script and re imagines the original storyline of the babysitter killers he made famous in 1978–40 years ago this year.

    Will the magic of Michael Myers continue with this generation? Or. . . has too much time passed for the iconic HALLOWEEN slasher to remain frightening?

  • Bourdain fate: The great unknown

    Bourdain fate: The great unknown

    Anthony Bourdain, a gifted storyteller and writer who took CNN viewers around the world on his program PARTS UNKNOWN, has died.

    He was 61.

    CNN confirmed Bourdain’s death on Friday and said the cause of death was suicide.

    A master of his craft, but seemingly not the demons of his mind..

    “It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague, Anthony Bourdain,” the network said in a statement Friday morning. “His love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world made him a unique storyteller. His talents never ceased to amaze us and we will miss him very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time.”

    This comes at a time where news releases indicate that suicide is one of the highest causes of death in America and in history.

    There have been some other recent famous hangings.. Conspiracy theories are abounding.
    On Friday’s INFOWARS program with Alex Jones, the host claimed that Bourdain recently had been meeting with Elon Musk and was about to turn into a Donald Trump fan. He hinted–not outright accused, but hinted–that the Bourdain death is more fire than smoke.. more conspiracy behind the scenes. Perhaps, Jones insinuated, not a suicide but one to be made look like one…
