watching a reality show now that is really weird (or maybe normal, but i am not used to that type of show) - something with celebrities i never heard about all in a house and arguing (and playing strange games against each other) ... but i guess the word "pleasure" in the thread title doesn't fit, i don't think i will watch much more of it ...

This thread was started by Deleted. That's a great handle. Wish I'd thought of it.

Both were the work of Bill Hickman, actor/stunt driver.
In NYC some bits, not much but some, were shot in real traffic, including one real impact. I'd doubted this but it seems to be true. Also, James Dean died in his arm. That might not be quite true, but he did arrive at the wreckage a few minute later having been following along towing Dean's race car.
ETA:
Hickman drove the car and acted the driver being chased. I believe McQueen shared his driving with his stunt driver.

not on TV, but on youtube. there's this channel "Cinema Therapy" a therapist and a film maker are discussing psy subjects related to films. I'm hooked!
example, this episode about Zootopia:

I watched the first episode of "Cinema Toast" on Showtime. It's a riot! The directors of work such as "The Little Hours" and "Room 104" re-imagine plotlines of public-domain movies and well-known actors redub the dialogue in various scenes. The film is edited down into an episode that's about 1/2 hour long.
The first one is "Made for Each Other", with James Stewart, Carole Lombard, Charles Coburn, and Lucile Watson. The "Friends-giving" dinner scene is a hoot! A day later I find myself recalling the scene where Lombard opens her gift from Watson, and I giggle out loud.

Currently watching a Perry Mason episode from 1990…it’s pretty bad. My mother used to watch Perry Mason when I was little - played by Raymond Burr. And there was Della somebody and the other man, tall fella, light hair someone Drake. And Perry Mason never lost a case according to mum. |

I finished "The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window", thought it was clever and darkly humorous, a quasi-homage to Hitchcock's "Rear Window".
"Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities" is overall well crafted, though uneven as anthology series often are. There are a few great monsters.
"Echoes" - crappy, bad even for two-dimensional melodrama. I watched 5 episodes and quit. Ditto for "Twee Zomers" ("Two Summers"), which has an interesting premise but turns out to be dull and leaden.
I liked "Paranoid", a British crime procedural where pretty much everyone - good guy or bad girl - is a hot mess.
I also liked "Stay Close" yet another series by Harlan-somebody, who also wrote "Safe" and "The Stranger", other British crime miniseries. I especially loved the assassin-for-hire couple ("Ken and Barbie") who break into song and dance routines in the midst of their gruesome assignments.
I'm almost done with "1899", which is a creepy mind-bending series. The "Filthy Rich" docuseries about Jeffrey Epstein (4 episodes) and Ghislaine Maxwell (1 episode) is also fascinating and disturbing. What sickening people!
