Truman Capote is an eccentric millionaire who invites the world’s greatest detectives to his house to solve a mysterious murder. It’s a parody of old detectives like Sam Spade, the Thin Man, Mrs Marple and, unfortunately, Peter Sellers as a Charlie Chan character.
You don’t have to be familiar with the original movies for it to be funny, but it will help if you watch with a fun friend.

The first/pilot episode of Columbo is an absolute masterpiece of the genre, a perfect slice of 60s LA, with beautifully engineered plot twists, an incredibly avant-grade soundscape and cracking last 30minutes. Columbo oddly handsome and charming too. A strong rec for mystery lovers

a detective investigates a string of murders where all the victims are killed the same way-but each by different killers. it’s a fascinating look into the idea of the individual vs. society, the breaking point of “good people”, and a frightening reassurance that you can never truly know another person.
Expert framing, great outfits, and solid plot, I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I watched it on criterion channel earlier this week.

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists.
The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished.

I’m 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadn’t blossomed yet. I’m a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. I’m good at conversing with strangers. I’m usually the oldest person at the show but don’t feel like it. I’m good at being helpful. I’m sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. I’m a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. I’m a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I don’t use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. ✌️💛
