This is only my opinion, I'm merely speculating about what may be happening in a situation such as this one.

I remember when that Jenner woman would allegedly ring up the tabloids anytime Paris let her daughter tag along on the Y2K LA club scene in exchange for post-dance foot massages so she, too, could steal a bit of spotlight. This is, of course, after Kris was supposedly milking her ex's Olympic fame by pushing those absurd fitness infomercials and way before she allegedly created a scheme of a "church" which I'm pretty sure no one except the IRS will be attending anytime soon.

Let's boomerang back to when Kris allegedly released an...um, "intimate tape" starring her own daughter and, somehow convinced Ryan Seacrest to have TV camera operators follow her and her family around and make a show about it. Dear Lord, WHY? So, I am speculating that... Everything. Everything. That family does is a publicity stunt orchestrated by Kris. Even the unflattering things they end up getting more free press from equates to free attention. Makes sense. Everyone loves to hate the Kardashians and even that is attention which equates to dollars, right?

With that said, this is no different. It's only more attention-seeking. Due to the fact that narcissism awareness is having a moment, I am only guessing here that this could be why I and so many others are disgusted when we even hear the name "Kardashian." Perhaps this may play a role in why so many Hulu subscribers canceled their subscription? Perhaps in protest?

With that said, let's ask WHY it wasn't called "Keeping Up With The Jenners?" There were WAY MORE Jenners in that household than Kardashians if I remember correctly. Oh, yeah. This was right around the time Mom allegedly had a hand in releasing that aforementioned tape starring her daughter, a Kardashian.

If milking others' attention isn't enough, consider the victims in this debacle. The maltreated employees. The innocent kids who are used in a way far exceeding the evil of Mommy Vloggers. And, the assignation of one's own child to commit lewd acts with (Ray Jay, was it?) for the entire WORLD to consume. This is, of course, only my own opinion and speculation.

I hope the reign of the K family is over.

This should not be called a film, nor a biopic. While it's based on JCO's completely fabricated story book, this was unreasonably painful to watch and nearly impossible to get through. "This" Marilyn has a Cuban accent and so-called life events that are far from factual. Absolutely nothing about this was remotely accurate, nor was it intended to be. It's imagined events portrayed in a way to give light on what her psyche may have experienced which makes it about as interesting as watching a movie about my life. Do you want to see a made up movie about my life? Of course not; you don't know me, and I'm not interesting to you. It's as though they took a story about someone's life and stuck a shell of a depiction of Monroe as the main character. It's absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention the fact that it's a very student like film. Dialogue makes no sense coupled with distracting transitions between color and black and white film. People in the 1950s and 60s didn't live in black and white film. It would've been one thing to transition to color when this pretend version of Monroe was happy or something, but this was just absurd. The real Norma Jean was incredibly smart, did not speak in a breathy Cuban accent and when she did speak, she sounded perfectly normal. I don't know what this was, but it was insulting to Monroe on every possible level. I'm disgusted with Ana de Armas (spelling?) because she read this script and agreed to do this. It's revolting. I'll never watch her in anything ever again. Shame on Netflix for ever putting such a horrid, disrespectful, fake as hell image of Marilyn Monroe. My god, I nearly vomited. The whole mess is like a slap to her face.

I'll preface this by explaining that I've seen every piece of media ever even mentioning Ted Bundy, not to mention having seen every related movie, and listened to every interview. My initial thought was that after having done so, there would be nothing much new to learn or experience as a result of yet another Bundy movie. I was wrong.

Luke Kirby captured Bundy's soul in a manner that is indescribable and in a way for which no words can do this portrayal justice - pun intended. His ability to convey every mannerism, every inflection, every aspect of Ted Bundy in a way that could only come second to Bundy, himself, shocked me. I was absolutely floored.

While we all know the outcome of the "storyline," and although we have all likely seen the exclusive Ted interviews and court drama over the years, this film felt as though I was sitting in the room with Ted Bundy. It was an experience I've never had before and will likely never experience again. I can't speak for Kirby as an actor or how he prepared for this role, but it's as though he channeled Bundy in a way that the other movies of the same premise lacked. Actually, he seemed to channel his character in a way most movies tend to fall short of. Just amazing. He looks/feels more like Bundy than any previous portrayal and probably will, any subsequent.

Apart from the incredible casting, this film is one that transports you to another time and place. They got the late 70s / early 80s down perfectly. That isn't usually an easy thing to master based on what I've seen in previous films that have tried.

This film tells the experience of the investigator who interviewed Bundy - from his perspective - and you get a real glimpse into the mind of the investigator tasked with dealing with one of the world's worst (and first) serial killers.
