Bumble Bee and I are totally relatable this week! 

This week’s round of comic book cover art 

Bob you and I are beyond relating this week! 

I decided to do this weekly post a little early! Here is this week’s round of comic book cover art! 

Cookie Monster you are this week’s man of the moment! 

 
Cookie Monster made his debut in 1969 and this googley eyed blue monster is know for hisappetite for everything cookie and cookie related! 

 
But honestly when he does get hungry he has no preference in what he eats and that can include fruits and vegetables to forks and spoons! 

 
In his spare time he has a lot of interests and hobbies ranging from singing disco songs and ballads about his beloved cookies to writing for late night comedy shows.  

 
He even likes to dabble in acting and has done various roles but the most memorable one for me was when he was the cloud in one of prairie dawn plays.  

 
Cookie Monster is a lover of the arts and even did a show called Monsterpiece Theater.  

 
He is one of my favorite characters and don’t let his name fool you he is so much more that just a monster who loves to eat cookies! That is why COOKIE MONSTER IS THE MAN OF THE MOMENT! 

Today’s movie of the day is “Phantom of the Paradise” directed by Brian De Palma.  

 
Released on October 31, 1974 and stars Jessica Harper, Paul Williams, and William Finley.    

William Finley plays Winslow a composer who by luck catches the attention of a music producer named Swan. Swan feels that Winslow’s music is a perfect fit for his new concert hall: “the Paradise.” Swan holds auditions for a female singer and comes across a singer named Phoenix (played by Jessica Harper) which becomes both Winslow and Swan’s love interest.  

 
Swan steals Winslow’s music and when Winslow confronts him he is beaten up and thrown in jail on a framed drug deal.  

While in jail Winslow goes thru some mess up experiments like getting his teeth removed and metal teeth.  

 
Winslow gets word while in jail that one of Swan’s bands has a hit record that were Winslow’s compositions. This causes him to break out of jail and seek revenge at Death Records (Swan Record label).  

 
However Winslow’s revenge is short lived because he ends up disfigured and destroying his vocal chords. He is so distraught with his appearance that he turns into the Phantom.  

  

I don’t want to give too much away about this movie. Although what attracted me most to this movie was the amazing soundtrack! After you watch it the soundtrack lingers in your mind!  

I definitely recommend this movie! 

 
Until next time!

Marge when you were in “a Streetcar named Marge” we were totally twinning this week! 

This week’s round of comic book cover art 

Today’s movie of the day is RAW (2016) directed by Julia Ducournau

It is about a young lady name Justine and who was been raised in a very shelter life by her parents naturally wants to follow in her parents and her older sister’s footsteps and goes to veterinary school.

Justine has been raised as a strict vegetarian and is forced by her older sister to eat raw meat during one of the school’s harsh initiations for incoming freshmen.

  After she is force to devour the piece of meat she begins an carnivorous quench for this new food item to her diet. She quickly develops a palette for human flesh and does everything she can to extinguish that desire, and tries to go cold turkey.

However it doesn’t matter what she does to deny herself from eating human flesh her desire for it is stronger that her will power.  Her secret desire in eating humans also brings out new feelings of lust and also her sex drive that she never experience before.

This movie was quite an interesting one to watch. I wasn’t expecting much from the RAW but I was quickly drawn in by the interesting plot and cinematography.

This movie will definitely will leave a lingering feeling over you watched it. I highly recommend this as a must watch!
