She was so grating that I couldn't make it ten minutes into the first episode.

It got better towards the end but yeesh. In comparison to Steve Martin it's night and day. Martin Short was pure flamboyant camp so I guess he nailed it too.

I agree. I thought Selena Gomez was the worst part of the series, especially her voice. She kinda sounds like what a female turtle would sound like in my mind. Potentially a cool female turtle, but still a turtle.

I'm curious. Why a turtle? :-)

Crime Scene:The Times Square Killer

Tons of neat 42nd street footage. It's a little short at only 3 eps but still interesting.
Creepy dude that Cottingham guy. The daughter of one of the victims who spends lots
of time with him in prison seems a bit off. And today I read an article that said she thinks
he might be her dad. Weird.

hilariously bad, but you have to give them credit for exploiting the epstein case in every tasteless way possible. I really hope the academy will hand out an honorary award for best pussy rubbing in a motion picture this year, the lead actress really deserves it. the scene where she's frantically masturbating up against a door on the steps of a building allegedly belonging to epstein, was completely batshit insane and made me laugh really hard!

extra credit for the last scene, where one of the lead actresses (who also happens to be the director/writer of this movie) is frantically trying to explain to the dorky boyfriend what just had happened and he is basically calling her a retarded cunt ("get some mental help").

Only Murders In The Building
Sorta cute and funny show about amateur sleuths trying to solve a murder that occurred in their apartment building.
It's decent enough but goddamn... Selena Gomez is a terrible actress. TERRIBLE.

I agree. I thought Selena Gomez was the worst part of the series, especially her voice. She kinda sounds like what a female turtle would sound like in my mind. Potentially a cool female turtle, but still a turtle.

THE PROWLER (1951) - Every time I watch this I am once again shocked by how frank it is for its time. Creepy cop Van Heflin puts the moves on married woman Evelyn Keyes, gets her pregnant before they get married (and after bumping off her hubby), and then things really go downhill. Easily the most perverse, psycho-sexual noir ever. Fantastic performances from the two leads, as well as the rest of the cast. I love the scene where Heflin forcibly kisses Keyes and she slaps the hell out of him and says, "You're a real cop, you want everything for free!" Would make a great double bill with SHIELD FOR MURDER, another study of the American Dream gone bad.

Between the Criterion set and Kino, i've upgraded most of Dietrich's 30's films from the old PAL UK DVD's to Blu. Seems like a good time to work through 'em again. Watched MOROCCO this morning. Never was a big Cooper fan, but He's definitely solid in this one, and Dietrich is pure Dietrich. 'What am I bid for my apple?' indeed. 6.5/10
