Last week, I asked which new Cubs acquisition would have the biggest impact in , other than Kyle Tucker or Ryan Pressley? Carson Kelly was in second with 22 percent and Justin Turner was third with 16 percent. Those of you who skip that can do so now. Tonight we have a performance from the Brandon Sanders Quintet from Craig Wasson plays Jake, a down-on-his-luck actor who got fired from a B-movie vampire flick because of his extreme.
Totally different. Anyway, Jake is also looking for a new place to live because he caught his girlfriend cheating on him and well, it was her apartment. The place just happens to be the Chemosphere House in Los Angeles , which is a really cool piece of modernist architecture. The Hitchcock parallels continue from there. Sam has a telescope set up in the house to look down at the other houses in the Hollywood Hills and shows him that at exactly the same time each night, a woman Deborah Shelton does a nude, erotic dance in the window that he can watch in the telescope.
Although Miss Torso never danced naked while touching herself. In a scene straight out of Vertigo , Jake ends up following the woman, whose name is Gloria, around Los Angeles. While at the beach, Gloria gets her purse snatched. Jake tries to play the hero and runs after the thief, but is overcome with his claustrophobia when the purse snatcher runs into a tunnel. And yes, De Palma frames the opening to the tunnel in exactly the same manner Hitchcock framed the steps at the mission in Vertigo as Jimmy Stewart looks down.
That night, instead of seeing an erotic dance in his telescope, Jake sees a murder. So again, just like in Rear Window. In th, Jake becomes convinced that a porn star named Holly Body Griffith is the key to solving the murder.
