  • The signs of the season: The Bloomsburg Fair!

    The signs of the season: The Bloomsburg Fair!

    SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY.. it ended up being the 163rd annual Bloomsburg Fair..

    Where did the time go!?
    I was at the Fair this weekend, and will most likely travel back to it a few times before its ended…’
    While the freakshows are gone (PC!?) and other things have moved or changed, the fair is somehwat mostly the same…
    I drew this image in 1996 of the Bloomsburg Fair when I came home one Friday night… and today, the image could still be the same.
    I was able to snatch this amazing photograph of a stuffed animal on a ride that hovers in the air above fair goers..
    And that, my friends, is what you can find at the fair that confounds the senses and compromises the mind.
    Take part in it. It’s only once a year and will be done quite soon. Enjoy.
  • Loving that Joker

    Loving that Joker

    The  former DC Entertainment president Diane Nelson shared the following tweet following the public’s first look at Phoenix in his Joker make-up:

    “LOVE IT! Great story, great actor, specific and string vision from talented director,” said Nelson said on her verified Twitter account. 

    “What DC should have been doing since Nolan. Even if die hard fans struggle with his vision. Good movies are good movies.”

  • Who’s that Joker!? The paparazzi are on the trail

    Who’s that Joker!? The paparazzi are on the trail

    The JOKER film starring Joaquin Phoenix has been a mystery.. only a few tidbits have been revealed and recently this past weekend showcased a short 30 second trailer of Phoenix slowly transforming his face into the clown prince of crime..

    But the paparazzi are on the trail..

    This past weekend TMZ featured this blazing article on its wesite:  Joaquin Phoenix keeps giving us a little more as The Joker — this time he’s in full costume as The Jester of Genocide … and he’s all smiles about it.

    Joker—which also stars Zazie Beetz, Marc Maron, Glenn Fleshler, and Brett Cullen— is set to hit theaters on October 4, 2019..

    TODD PHILLIPS is looking to battle paparazzi over leaked JOKER photos: While shooting in New York City, footage and photos of Phoenix in attire with the classic Joker color palette leaked on the internet and Phillips retaliated by releasing his own photos.

    Commenters started to complain that Phillips was releasing too many photos and information about the movie to which he responded: “Here’s the issue. We have paparazzi all over our set, at every turn. And it bums me out that they constantly put out their bad shots. So I figure, may as well put out some good ones.” MORE..

    The Phoenix incarnation has a delightfully playful look .. behind the smile is a ruthless criminal who, by any measure, will bring scares and most likely a near R rated or R rated film next Halloween ’19 .. His presence seems to have a bit of the Bill Murray appearance as the HORROR REPORT pointed out this past weekend.. But also, the newest leaked footage began to remind us of the Heath Ledger version coupled with the face and hair of the 1960s Romero.. We will all be glued to our seats as we watch where this ride takes us..

    It will be wild.

    With paparazzi hiding behind every piece of brick and mortar where filming is taking place, there is no doubt Todd Phillips will remain unhappy as he wishes to keep this all very much secret until next year..

  • That’s a wrap: Sunday news roundup for the first weekend of fall

    That’s a wrap: Sunday news roundup for the first weekend of fall

    Michael Moore falls flat with dismal box office opening for Fahrenheit 11/9.. Eli Roth’s adaptation of the popular children’s book picked up a better-than-expected $26.8 million when it opened in 3,592 locations. The fantasy film, starring Jack Black and Cate Blanchett, didn’t face much competition. A number of holdovers filled out the top five as a trio of new releases came in way under expectations…

    But don’t count Trump satire out yet: The Briarcliff Entertainment political documentary landed in eighth place, coming in way under estimates with $3.1 million from 1,719 venues. Launching the film in over a thousand theaters might have hurt its box office potential. Most specialized films start small in a select amount of theaters before slowly expanding nationwide as word of mouth builds..


    Paul Simon returns to the sounds of silence.. MORE: Paul Simon ended his final concert tour under a moonlit sky on home turf Saturday, telling an audience in a park in Queens, N.Y., that their cheers “mean more than you can know.” Simon performed at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, which he said was a 20-minute bicycle ride from where he grew up, ending the landmark night with his first big hit, “The Sound of Silence.”

    Sunday night bomshell: Drudge Says Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer Set to Break Report on Kavanaugh: ‘Another Woman?’

    The Drudge Report turns out to be accurate…
    Earlier on Sunday, this was the page:

    On Sunday night shortly after this report, The New Yorker published the account of a woman who claims Kavanaugh thrust his penis in her face when both were students at Yale. Senate Democrats are investigating the new allegation of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh.

    In addition, shortly after Drudge’s report went live, Stormy Daniel’s lawyer Michael Avenatti issued a statement via Twitter claiming, “I represent a woman with credible information regarding Judge Kavanaugh and Mark Judge.” That woman is not, according to Avenatti, the same woman who came forward in the New Yorker article…

  • New Mandela Effect adventures in Hi Fi

    New Mandela Effect adventures in Hi Fi

    It’s been a while since a good Mandela Effect has reared its reality-shifting head.

    Let’s travel back in time to 1996. I recall my friend Jared introducing me during freshman year to a new CD (I moved on from cassette tapes around 8th grade) called NEW ADVENTURES IN HI FI .. REM was the ground who pleasured fans with this album.

    The songs were mellow.. there was a certain feeling to the music that REM was becoming deeper and more enigmatic ..

    Fast forward a bit in decades and potentially in realities: I read this account on a music site by someone who recently purchased the CD and realized that there may have been some words forgotten…

    This is how the actual cover SHOULD look:

    Most of the commentary on the message board in response don’t mention any Mandela related shift.

    The post seems to attempt to explain what may have occurred:

    So … why am I presenting this?

    When I was a kid, I have distinct and complete memories of this CD. I recall at the time I wondered “why didn’t they finish their sentence” on the cover.. My CD, I remember, also did not include the words “HI FI” …

    And now… The desperate search to locate the old copy of this CD begins. It’s a possession that is mostly buried somewhere in the deepest darkest trenches of my closet of CDs, DVDs, and taped David Letterman VHS cassettes and home movies.

    And if I find it? And if the “HI FI” is suddenly on the CD cover, my mind will be shocked further into Mandela Mania..

  • Freddy Kreuger will show up in 1980s Philadelphia thanks to a Halloween version of THE GOLDBERGS

    Freddy Kreuger will show up in 1980s Philadelphia thanks to a Halloween version of THE GOLDBERGS

    Freddy fans have a glimpse of a more aged Freddy Kreuger.. he is happily returning to the decade that made him thanks to a Halloween sitcom..

    The show is The Goldbergs, a take on a family in 1980s Philadelphia presented through the viewpoint of their youngest child, Adam (Sean Glambrone). And this Halloween, the Goldberg family is getting a pretty spooky visitor in the form of Freddy Krueger, played by Robert Englund himself..

  • Alyssa Milano says she was sexually assaulted when she was a teenager and explains why she didn’t say anything

    Alyssa Milano says she was sexually assaulted when she was a teenager and explains why she didn’t say anything

    In her own words..

    It took me years after my assault to voice the experience to my closest friends. It took me three decades to tell my parents that the assault had even happened. I never filed a police report. I never told officials. I never tried to find justice for my pain because justice was never an option.

    For me, speaking up meant reliving one of the worst moments of my life. It meant recognizing my attacker’s existence when I wanted nothing more than to forget that he was allowed to walk on this Earth at all. This is what every survivor goes through. Telling our stories means being vulnerable to public attacks and ridicule when our only “crime” was to be assaulted in the first place.
    And we are not alone. One in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused before they turn 18 years old. This is the reality for survivors of sexual assault: our journey begins in fear and, for many of us, it continues in fear for the rest of our lives.
    Yet, today, we will not be silenced.
    On Friday, in response to President Trump’s tweet I decided to speak out about my own experience—and I welcomed other survivors of sexual assault to do the same. I encourage you to read the replies of people across the country who have carried the burden of being a survivor, sometimes for years, and never reported it.

  • Heather Wades into night from the Kingdom of Nye: Bell’s family retakes website for “legacy” .. Developing..

    Heather Wades into night from the Kingdom of Nye: Bell’s family retakes website for “legacy” .. Developing..

    From the Kingdom of Nye.. Heather Wade..?

    Art Bell fans who have been following the long career he held and the shows he hosted will know that Heather Wade was handpicked by the talk show legend himself as his successor on MIDNIGHT IN THE DESERT. That program aired most recently before his Friday the 13th death in April of this year..

    Wade’s adventures in late night radio have not been without controversy. Shortly before Bell’s death, he was helping promote her venture into Area 51…

    Multiple venues hosted her program briefly in the short aftermath of Art Bell’s passage from this planet, with no true home being found. And to make matters even more contentious, Art Bell’s long time webmaster Keith Rowland had a very public dispute about her doing programs to begin with!

    He wrote multiple times that she was in violation of a non-compete clause when she left Midnight in the Desert post-Bell-mortem..

    As of today, host very much loved paranormal heavyweight Dave Schrader has taken up the mantle as the chief host of MIDNIGHT..

    For months, Wade vanished into the darkness of the night .. until now..

    Heather Wade has made it public: She is returning to broadcasting radio from Pahrump, the same Nye County town in Nevada that Art Bell himself hosted live nightly for decades..

    KCAA and KYAH will broadcast her new program, THE KINGDOM OF NYE… The program debuts on October 1 2018.

    Subscribers will still be able to sign up.
    The program promises to showcase the various bumper songs that Bell also used for years..
    And Wade said she still plans on the Area 51 visit..

    Wade’s former website that included the namesake of Bell has been taken away from her .. According to what we have learned, Airyn Bell and family has taken away Wade’s ownership of her previous domain in order to “carry on Bell’s true legacy.” … that website contains a countdown clock to whatever reveal will occur in 8 days.

    belllgacy

    Wade’s program will air at the same time it did when it was MIDNIGHT IN THE DESERT.. 9pm Pacific, 12am Eastern..

    It will compete against Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis, Coast to Coast Am with George Noory, and Midnight in the Desert with Dave Schrader..

    There is a mixed response to Wade’s return. The kingdom of Bell fans have become divided on her hosting and her new show..  The outcome of her return will be seen within days..
