I rented the first season of “Psych.”
What is it about Canadian-produced TV and movies that is so bad, at least the stuff I choose. I should have known by the sing-songy theme it was going to be the worst writing since “Barnaby Jones.” So strange that it’s shot in Canada and set in Santa Barbara. The main character, Sean Spencer, is funny but gets annoying fast. He makes lots of references to pop culture from the 70s and 80s yet is not even thirty-five years old. How does he know about Pinky Tuscadero? Corbin Bernson, from “LA Law,” plays Sean’s father, and he’s totally just collecting a paycheck. It’s hard to get excited over this bad show, as a viewer or actor.
How lovely to watch Susan Sullivan on “Castle,”
playing Nathan Fillion’s lush actress mother. I recall her on “It’s A Living” and “Falcon Crest” playing the “straight men.” She was funny on “Darma & Greg” as his blueblood mother, but she’s found her best role as Martha Rogers on “Castle.” I like Fillion’s daugther on the show, too. The scripts are good. They work Fillion’s crime novel-writing character into real New York City murders cleverly. The female lead is OK. They have chemistry enough. The producers should have looked harder, though. I forget her name. She won’t work after the show ends.
Could Tyler Saint be any tanner?
He’s not a young man. My mother used to be tan like him, from playing tennis, though, not nude sunbathing. She had all this cancer removed from her face when she was in her sixties. He’s going to have to have all this cancer removed from all over his body when he’s in his, which won’t be long.
Yesterday, Netflix sent me gay-themed movies “The Raspberry Reich” and “Hollywood, Je T’Aime.”
I wasn’t in the mood to see either as I am in the middle of a killer “Star Trek: Voyager” novel. I’ll likely watch “Hollywood, Je T’Aime” tonight. I’m glad to see Chad Allen’s staying busy as a gay leading man.
LATER: I saw the first ten minutes of “Hollywood: Je T’Aime” and shut it off.
I saw Holly Hunter in “Saving Grace.”
I liked her before I saw this show, which she produced. Firstly, she’s a hundred. Secondly, she’s not pretty. Thirdly, her hair is such a horror in every scene of every episode. So WHY does she have so many SEX scenes??? Answer: Because she’s the producer and she cast all these hot actors to appear in the scenes with her. They include: Kenny Johnson, Bailey Chase and Gregory Cruz. Gay or straight, any man with sense would find Hunter as Grace extremely nauseating to touch or kiss. Her character is extremely unlikable. The angel character who visits her and talks about God and other stuff is irritating. I hate it when unlikable, ugly characters debate theology. I hate it when they do anything. Avoid “Saving Grace.” Even though the actors are hot, to watch them touch fifty-three year old ugly Hunter with her horse tail hair is so unpleasant you’ll be tearing your eyes out.
More pleasant, though completely predictable and a little show, is “Falling Up,”
starring adorable Joseph Cross (who was in “Milk,” which I didn’t see). He plays a 5th Ave. NY doorman who falls in love with the daughter of a rich family who lives in the penthouse of his building. Annette O’Toole, in my favorite of her roles (which haven’t been all that great) is hilarious as his porn shop-employee mother. A blonde Rachel Leigh Cook, whom I’ve never liked before this movie, plays Cross’ dog-walker sister. Mimi Rogers is the mother of the love interest. She’s good when she has supporting roles that don’t require much effort. And I could just eat Joseph Cross up. OMG, I just realized he played Amy Sedaris’ brother in “Strangers with Candy.” How hilarious!
Finally, four days after the Sea World Florida trainer got eaten by Tilly, the KILLER whale,
the park opened the show again, with Tilly performing tricks for another trainer. Can you say BAD TASTE??? Imagine being the kid in the stands on Saturday, when the show reopened, saying “Mommy, Mommy, this show is great. When will Tilly kill another trainer? Does he still have parts of the other girl in his digestive system?” Free Tilly, assholes.
Stick to rehab and rides. The Shamu show is boring and your guests are sheep.
