    I watched:

    DOCTOR WHO:
    "Horns of Nimon". The Doctor and Romana, stop by a stricken transport vessel
    – to offer help and find it full of children; being transported to Skonnos as “tributes” – for the mysterious Nimon.

    What did you watch?

    Yesterday, I did chores, listened to music, and watched soaps and a
    couple of (Lifetime/Tubi) TV movies:

    soaps: DOOL - Wed's & Thur's ep. Really, nothing happened in these
    episodes except that Rafe woke up (and is close to figuring out Connie
    stabbed him), and Connie lost out on her chance to stab NuGabi. Also,
    Stephanie warns Chad that FakeAbby lied, but he's too thick to get it...
    At the end of Thur's ep, Sarah was about to undergo hypnosis with Dr.
    Evans - hopefully on Friday Sarah either remembers Fiona was the
    hit-and-run driver, or at least that the driver was a woman and not Brady...
    GH - Thur's ep. I'm guessing they are making dumping Lois' "accent" permanent at the request of the actress (Rena Sofer). Also - wow!!
    Kirsten Storms (Maxie) has lost a *ton* of weight from just the last
    time we saw her on the show! (how long was the ItRW time gap between her filming those scenes?!!) - she's pretty close to back to being
    normal-sized after being too heavy for years (Ozempic?)... Anyway, Tracy rightly points out that Sonny being a prime suspect on a murder charge
    could cause problems for Deception, but everyone just poo-poos her!
    Sasha throws a brunch for Cody and Scorpio fam; later, Tracy disrupts
    this, and Mac calls Tracy out. Diane warns Sonny about Alexis being in
    legal jeopardy over Jagger's murder. Joss complains to Michael about
    Carly's tie-up with Sonny, but Michael is back to being 100% "Team
    Sonny" (disgusting!). Carly asks Jason to go to Somalia to retrieve Lucky.

    college football - UCLA was routed by Indiana - this is not a good start
    to UCLA being in the "Big Ten"... >:/

    The Face I Can't Forget (Lifetime) - OK, wow - I figured out the
    plotline/twist in this one within about 5 minutes!
    There
    Be
    Some
    Spoilers
    Below
    So we open with our amnesiac heroine (Rayisa Kondracki) meeting first
    her husband (James Gilbert), and then her daughter (Victoria
    Baldesarra), and I'm immediately like "That's not HER daughter, that's
    HIS mistress!"
    Flash forward to the end of the film!
    :|
    Yep - got it in one.
    To both Baldesarra's and the character's credit, she makes such a convincing "daughter" through most of the movie that I even began to second-guess myself a little... But, nope - I was right.
    I actually think they blew it with the resolution - it actually
    would have made for a better story if the EVOL! "husband's" (really, ex-husband) story that he fed to the amnesiac had actually be true, but
    he had just switched the two daughters' identities - it would have been
    really amusing if Baldesarra had actually turned out to be the
    amnesiac's daughter, just not the daughter with the EVOL! "husband".
    I also didn't buy for a minute that "dissociative amnesia" made any
    sense here (esp. when the circumstances are revealed) - they should have
    gone with brain injury" as the cause of the amnesia.
    Amusingly, Rosie Simon, whom I *just saw* in "Wynonna Earp:
    Vengeance" also shows up in this flick in a fairly important supporting
    role.

    Deadly Secrets of a Cam Girl (Tubi) - A 2023 Tubi Original film.
    I am making my way through the Tubi Original flicks I actually want
    to watch (I'm not going to watch all of them!!), and I think by now I've
    gotten through most of these. So I tried to get through another one last
    night, and I went with this one.
    Once again, this is a film where the subject matter pretty much
    demands naked nudity, and once again they skirt on delivering it.
    Though, in this case, they distract you with the "mystery/crime to
    solve" pretty quickly so you don't notice as much that they're not
    delivering the goods!
    Another problem I have with all of these "cam girl" films is that
    the writers either don't know what cam girls really do! or they
    deliberately sanitize what cam girls do (hint: it's not stand around and
    talk to clients one-at-a-time while still clothed!). Outside of one
    quick room-establishing shot, this flick is the same in giving us a
    sanitized picture of cam girling.
    I did like the angle in this one that Our Cam Girl(tm) was using the
    cam girl thing to actually use hacking software to effectively
    "ransomware" some of her clients. (Though they are sketchy on where she
    got the software from in the first place!)
    Our Cam Girl, Arianna, is played by Stephanie Sanchez - Sanchez is
    truly *tiny*: I'm betting she's not even 5-feet tall. Surprisingly, this
    film is literally Sanchez's only credit. (Did they hire a real life cam
    girl to headline this flick?!). Arianna is cam girling on the side to,
    1) pay for getting an MBA, and 2) to pay for the medical care for her (non-Latina?!!) "sister"(?!) who has a traumatic brain injury.
    Soon enough one of her clients, a high-powered female executive, is apparently attacked and kidnapped while Arianna watches with her hacking software.
    Arianna must solve this crime! (Um, why?!) Of course, this puts
    Arianna's entire life in jeopardy, on multiple levels. But Our Cam Girl
    just can't let this crime-solving go!!
    Anyway, this Tubi flick was OK (save for the sanitizing of cam
    girling part), with a good suspenseful mystery, and the ending (and
    ending twists) were decent until the final (unnecessary) "twist", which
    was pointless as it not like we're going to get a sequel here.

    What did you watch?



    I watched:

    Taxi Driver (4K disc) 1976 movie directed by Martin Scorsese and
    starring Robert De Niro as a delusional joker who shoots someone in
    order to impress Jodie Foster.


    The King of Comedy (Plex) 1982 movie directed by Martin Scorsese and
    starring Robert De Niro as a delusional joker who terrorizes a
    late-night talk show host (Jerry Lewis) whom De Niro blames for his
    problems in life. I read afterwards that Diahnne Abbott who played the
    love interest in this movie was De Niro's real life wife and also had a
    role in Taxi Driver.


    Joker (4K disc) 2019 movie directed by Todd Phillips and starring
    Joaquin Phoenix as a delusional Joker who terrorizes a late-night talk
    show host (Robert De Niro) whom Phoenix blames for his problems in life.


    The Batman (4K disc) 2022 movie directed by Matt Reeves and starring
    Robert Pattinson as a caped hero who during a Long Halloween matches
    wits against a delusional joker (Paul Dano) who leaves riddles at the
    scene of his crimes. Colin Farrell also costars as a different joker
    called the "Penguin." Penguin has an upcoming spin off series on Max
    that apparently picks up where this movie left off and will lead into
    the next movie.

    Nothing. I went to L.A. HorrorCon, which was smaller than the normal conventions and therefore a much more enjoyable experience because everything wasn't hyper-managed, you weren't constantly dealing with massive crowds and sitting for hours in lines just to see all the stuff you came to see.

    One of the best things about it was all the talent were just out and about among the attendees instead of sequestered behind big tables where you get 10 seconds to walk up pose for a picture and then are shoved to the side for the next person in line.

    I got to chat with Vasquez, Frost, and Drake from ALIENS and Beverly D'Angelo from the VACATION movies. It was much more enjoyable just to have
    conversations with them about filming the movies and whatnot rather then the assembly-line process you get at places like ComicCon.

    I also picked up a CD of the expanded and re-recorded score to KILLER KLOWN FROM OUTER SPACE from the composer himself. It's an incredible symphonic score and one of those movies that doesn't deserve the score it ended up with, like JAWS 2. (Speaking of which, the entire (living) cast of JAWS 2 was at the con as well doing a reunion meet-up. And let's just say, time has not been kind.)

    It would be useful to know if any of the other "Stephanie Sanchez"
    listings on IMDb are also her and need to be merged, but this info from Facebook (which I can't access) doesn't list any other acting roles.

    Anyway, this Tubi flick was OK (save for the sanitizing of cam
    girling part), with a good suspenseful mystery, and the ending (and
    ending twists) were decent until the final (unnecessary) "twist", which
    was pointless as it not like we're going to get a sequel here.

    Nothing. I went to L.A. HorrorCon, which was smaller than the normal conventions and therefore a much more enjoyable experience because everything wasn't hyper-managed, you weren't constantly dealing with massive crowds and sitting for hours in lines just to see all the stuff you came to see.

    One of the best things about it was all the talent were just out and about among the attendees instead of sequestered behind big tables where you get 10 seconds to walk up pose for a picture and then are shoved to the side for the next person in line.

    I got to chat with Vasquez, Frost, and Drake from ALIENS and Beverly D'Angelo from the VACATION movies. It was much more enjoyable just to have conversations with them about filming the movies and whatnot rather then the assembly-line process you get at places like ComicCon.

    I understand “Janelle Voight“ from Terminator two was there as well as “diamondback“ from near dark.

    Any Buffy? I think Juliet Landau was going to do this one?



    I also picked up a CD of the expanded and re-recorded score to KILLER KLOWN FROM OUTER SPACE from the composer himself. It's an incredible symphonic score

    Lots of good people but especially Karen Cliché.

    With young Gina Holden!!

    And an also young Laura Bennell, but only in 2 episodes.

    Taxi Driver (4K disc) 1976 movie directed by Martin Scorsese and

    The King of Comedy (Plex) 1982 movie directed by Martin Scorsese and
    starring Robert De Niro as a delusional joker who terrorizes a
    late-night talk show host (Jerry Lewis) whom De Niro blames for his
    problems in life. I read afterwards that Diahnne Abbott who played the
    love interest in this movie was De Niro's real life wife and also had a
    role in Taxi Driver.

    What is your review of this movie? I've seen it once on tv.


    This was only my second time watching the movie. The first being when I
    also paired it with Taxi Driver in preparation for "Joker." I'm not
    sure what to make of it. I think it's a movie of it's time. Although I
    was alive in 1982 there was a certain cultural or historical context
    aimed for the adult audience of the time. What I'm getting at is, for
    example, there is a scene in the movie where De Niro shows up at Lewis'
    home and essentially invites himself in. He is *clearly* a stalker, but
    this movie was made (I think) before or right at the time, stalkers were murdering celebrities. So while there is definitely a level of
    uneasiness to the scene, there is no menace. If the movie was made
    today, there would have been menace. That being said I think there is a certain innocence to De Niro's character that while perhaps appropriate
    for 1982 in the modern era comes off as a bit naive because De Niro is *clearly* a psycho by today's standards.

    The movie makes an excellent contrast to "Joker" which was very open
    about using "The King of Comedy" as a template for what they were doing.
    And similar scenes in the "Joker" are terrifying. There is no
    mistaking, Joker *will* kill you! While De Niro's character *says*
    he'll kill you, but you never believe he really will.

    So, did I like the movie? I guess I did. But do I see it as a classic
    that stands up to the test of time? I don't think so. It comes off as
    dated in a way that other older movies don't. But I do think since
    "Joker" is almost a lose remake of The King of Comedy" it definitely
    pairs very well with it and the two should be watched together.

    One other thing that may have influenced my enjoyment of the movie is I
    watched it on a off brand streaming service called "Plex". I never
    heard of them before. The print was not good and it was loaded with
    lengthy commercial breaks.

    I went to the big Star Trek con in Vegas the other month and the lines

    Although in spite of the shorter lines, I still manged to miss most of

    Another problem I have with all of these "cam girl" films is that
    the writers either don't know what cam girls really do! or they
    deliberately sanitize what cam girls do (hint: it's not stand around and >>> talk to clients one-at-a-time while still clothed!). Outside of one
    quick room-establishing shot, this flick is the same in giving us a
    sanitized picture of cam girling.
    I did like the angle in this one that Our Cam Girl(tm) was using the
    cam girl thing to actually use hacking software to effectively
    "ransomware" some of her clients. (Though they are sketchy on where she
    got the software from in the first place!)
    Our Cam Girl, Arianna, is played by Stephanie Sanchez - Sanchez is
    truly *tiny*: I'm betting she's not even 5-feet tall. Surprisingly, this >>> film is literally Sanchez's only credit. (Did they hire a real life cam
    girl to headline this flick?!).

    There are a couple dozen IMDb entries with that name, but no picture doing >> various things and showbiz. But I tracked down the image. She looks
    remarkably like an AI construct) and found this.

    Starting her theatrical career in high school, she is eternally grateful

    It would be useful to know if any of the other "Stephanie Sanchez"
    listings on IMDb are also her and need to be merged, but this info from Facebook (which I can't access) doesn't list any other acting roles.


    Unfortunately, any sort of search returns dozens of hits. Heck it returns. Dozens of hits just in the Phoenix area. Facebook even brings up one at Fordham, but it doesn’t look like her unless she had ridiculous lip,
    puffing surgery.
    I’ll send you the photos from the Facebook. By the way, Safari will show
    me that link without accessing Facebook accounts.


    Arianna is cam girling on the side to,
    1) pay for getting an MBA, and 2) to pay for the medical care for her
    (non-Latina?!!) "sister"(?!) who has a traumatic brain injury.
    Soon enough one of her clients, a high-powered female executive, is
    apparently attacked and kidnapped while Arianna watches with her hacking >>> software.
    Arianna must solve this crime! (Um, why?!) Of course, this puts
    Arianna's entire life in jeopardy, on multiple levels. But Our Cam Girl
    just can't let this crime-solving go!!
    Anyway, this Tubi flick was OK (save for the sanitizing of cam
    girling part), with a good suspenseful mystery, and the ending (and
    ending twists) were decent until the final (unnecessary) "twist", which
    was pointless as it not like we're going to get a sequel here.

    That was the Riddler, not the Joker.

    I went to the big Star Trek con in Vegas the other month and the lines

    but this year there were a lot of just walk ups or short waits.
    Although in spite of the shorter lines, I still manged to miss most of
    the panels because I was getting autographs.

    However, if I'm at a con and there's a celebrity that I really like, I
    feel bad if they don't have a line at their table. On the other hand
    there are the non celebrities or minor celebs who attend cons and I have
    to avoid eye contact as I walk past their table and they try to get me
    to buy an autograph. LOL

    Was "Will Wheton" there?

    ALIENS can easily be considered horror. And Beverly D'Angelo has been in various horror movies-- e.g., VIOLENT NIGHT, TALES FROM THE CRYPT, THE SENTINEL.

    Wow, I didn't know Beverly was in any horror movies, although the Vacation series could be classified as one. :-)

    Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor) was in it, too.
