OPEN POST: Monday At The Movies With "Bewitched!"

Image
No, not TV's "Bewitched," but this truly unnerving little shocker from 1945 in which Phyllis Thaxter plays a heroine who may or may not be a murderous (and very slutty) psychopath. Yikes. Tackling the concept of split-personality decades before the likes of "Psycho," we meet Joan, a sweet young heroine possessed by a dark inner voice named - are you ready for this? - "Karen." Oh here go hell come, as they say, and in this case, hell do.  If you're like me and love the heavy shadowed film-noir look from the 1940s, this movie delivers the goods - and how. Yet it also possesses a haunting, dreamlike quality which makes Joan's mental struggle feel visceral. Directed with smashing visual style by Arch Oboler, who got his start as a playwright and lauded horror radio show producer, "Bewitched" unspools in a swift 70 minutes, and for me, remains an essential hallmark of early film-noir. More than that, it's just plain fun, and though it ...

This isn't good for any of us. It's also one of a handful of reasons I'm glad I'm not young-ish (or rather, under my age of 39!). More RIGHT HERE.  No matter your age, do you think your job is safe from AI? And for how much longer?  Photo Credit: Boston Globe

OPEN POST: Isabella Rossellini and Joan Collins at Cannes!

Image
  Source: Isabella Rossellini on instagram Here are the iconic Isabella Rossellini and the iconic Joan Collins gracing Cannes this week. The two are starring in The Duchess and I,  a British drama directed by Mike Newell that focuses on Wallis Simpson's final years living as a widow and recluse in Paris. Collins plays Simpson, who suffered from many illnesses and became increasingly incapacitated around 1978.  Rossellini plays Suzanna Blum, a French lawyer who assumed control of the Duchess's affairs after the Duke of Windsor's passing in 1972. Blum isolated Simpson from family and friends, dismissed her staff, and sold off valuable heirlooms to personal contacts both before and after Wallis's passing in 1986. Blum maintained that all actions reflected the Duchess's explicit wishes, though she often withheld any documentation of her authority. Here's a photo of the two in full costume:  Credit: Venetia Scott, courtesy of British Vogue Will you be watching The Du...

Who is April's Shitbag of the Month?

Image
Our first April contender is Katy Perry. The 41-year old popstar found herself in hot water this month when Ruby Rose shared that she had been sexually assaulted by Perry back in 2010. Rose alleges that she was at a Melbourne nightclub laying on a friend's lap, when Perry approached her and stuck her crotch on the actor's face. Rose says she was violently ill immediately after the assault. Police are allegedly investigating the incident. Perry has denied the claims and says that Rose has a history of making "serious allegations against various individuals that have been denied by those named." Source: MTV Well, looky here! Our second contender was actually married to our first contender once upon a time. How romantic! Next up is actor-turned-religious-guru Russell Brand. Brand, who won SBOTM twice last year, is keeping his shitbag streak alive and well this year. In April, Brand admitted to sleeping with a 16-year old girl back when he was 30. He says that it was tota...

OPEN POST: See The U.S.A. In Your Chevrolet!

I was at the gas station the other day when I heard this horrendously loud car go roaring by, but it was gone in a flash. Buuuuut it must've went around the block because it roared right in. I asked the owner if I could take a picture (because I've never seen a '58 Delray in the wild) and he kindly gave his permission. He plans to restore it, yay! Delray's were the economy Chevys of their day but even at nearly 70 years old, this gal looks pretty damn swank as far as I'm concerned, and when she rolled off the assembly line in 1958 she outshone every Cadillac and Rolls Royce on the block. 1958 Chevrolet Delray 2-Door Sedan (2 of 7) | Photographed a… | Flickr One of the things I love about those Fabulous '50s is the unbridled optimism.
