-A Word Before Reading-

None of you dear readers have to be familiar with what I am talking about in order to reply to this blog entry 🙂 In fact, you could all talk to me about things (cinema, television etc.) that make you happy and we can all reply back and forth to each other in the comment section 🙂

-Introduction-

As all of my dear readers can gather by the title of this link, today, I will be linking you all to some of many things that give me joy, whether it be during the Christmas season or otherwise 🙂 So, without further ado, here is the first one below 🙂

-Jennifer Coolidge-

Yes, she played Stiffler’s Mom in the American Pie movies, but Jennifer Coolidge has always been reliable in every role she has ever played 🙂 She has won for Supporting Actress in Television three times (one Golden Globe and two Primetime Emmys) for her role as the wealthy Tanya McQuoid on the darkly comedic HBO anthology series The White Lotus.

Any of my dear readers familiar with all of those Discover Card commercials you all see on television? 🙂

Speaking of that, actress/comedian Chloe Fineman spoofed Coolidge’s persona with (I believe) two hilarious SNL (Saturday Night Live) sketches

-Pamela Anderson: The Cinephile-

As much as I love Pamela Anderson’s screen image, that does not compare to the awesomeness of who Pamela Anderson really is behind it. Recently, she has been earning raves for her dramatic lead performance in Gia Coppola’s The Last Showgirl, which garnered her a recent Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama. This brings us to a recent video of her getting the luxury of going into the Criterion Closet to pick some Blu-Ray/DVD’s for herself. It is here that Anderson is at her coolest. She comes off as a cinephile not only with her love of the films she talks about, but also the directors behind them. Late great Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami gets a shout-out in the video 🙂 How awesome is that among the others she mentions 🙂

-The Clovers: One Mint Julep–

Yes, Todd Haynes 2015 masterpiece Carol is what got me addicted to The Clovers 1952 R&B song One Mint Julep :)The song is just so tuneful to me 🙂
