Hump Day & Chill

Meow
Zoe Kravitz

I have a Hump Day & Chill confession to make. While I do not see many comic book based movies (I've never seen an Avengers film and don't plan to either) I do see certain ones. Of those "certain ones" I will see anything Batman.

"Yes" Batman was my jam in my formative years. Thus I consume all movies featuring him, there you have that!

Needless, or needful to say, depending on your POV I am looking forward (never back) to The Batman. Other than the obvious draw of Robert Pattinson playing the title character there is Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman.

Today we Hump Day & Chill to Zoe as the Cat. I love Ms. Kravitz, not only is she strikingly beautiful she is a quite talented actress. If you didn't see Big Little Lies (1 & 2) then I suggest you do. 

So F#ck the Bat and bring on the Cat! All hail the queen of Hump Day & Chill Zoe Kravitz!

You Don't Talk About Fight Club...

Slide!
Zoe Kravitz & Karl Glusman

With only 11 days left until Halloween, I promise not to talk about Fight Club, but I will talk about Zoe Kravitz & Karl Glusman dressed as Marla Singer & Tyler Durden for the High Holy Day.

Fight Club stars Brad Pitt and Edward Norton as Tyler Durden and Helena Bonham-Carter as Marla Singer for those of you out of the loop on that. From the looks of it I am guessing Mr. Glusman is going more for the Brad Pitt "Durden Look" than the Edward Norton version.

Kudos to Zoe Kravitz for really nailing the body language Helena Bonham-Carter used in film.

With Halloween closing in, do you know what your costume is going to be yet?

Me either, start conjuring up something, and conjure it now!!!

Purrrrrrfect! Zoe Kravitz

Bring on the Cat!
Zoe Kravitz

Batman was my jam when I was a kid. From the campy TV Series to the darkest of the Dark Knight comic books. Then came the movies from the first two Tim Burton ones to the silly, campy Joel Schumacher affairs. While I didn't like them all I soldiered on like a trooper and went, for the love of Batman.

Then came the best, the Christopher Nolan trilogy. Well here comes a new incarnation The Batman slated for a 2021 release Directed by Matt Reeves. It will star Robert Pattinson as Batman, which I am sure will work. However there is a bit of casting news I am more excited about. Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman!

Zoe is an amazingly beautiful (Hello? Here parents are Lisa Bonet & Lenny Kravitz) not to mention talented young woman. She most notably has starred in the HBO series Big Little Lies where she held her own against the likes of Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern, Reese Witherspoon and Shailene Woodley.

Michelle Pfeiffer has been my favorite Catwoman in the movies thus far. That being stated I have a feeling Ms. Kravitz is going to bring her own magic to the role, and make it something uniquely hers. Can you tell I am a Zoe fan? "Yes" you can!

It Rough

Rough Night?
l-r
Scarlett Johansson, Zoe Kravitz & Ilana Glazer

There are a lot of rough things in this world. Some rougher than others. Well this isn't one of them.

Check out Scarlett Johansson, Zoe Kravitz & Ilana Glazer at a photocall for their upcoming comedy Rough Night. Doesn't look too rough to me, how about you, do you think this is rough?

From what I gather from the trailer the comedy is about a group of friends having a bachelorette party and a male stripper they hire ends up dead. Now that scenario actually does sound rough.

But probably not as rough as that one night I had when I was 35 and...yep there's another one that will be in the book I am writing. So you'll just have to wait for it.

Hope your week isn't too rough!
