If there’s any of you who profess to be into noir and have not yet seen MR INBETWEEN, you need to fix that asap. If you need further convincing, my @crimereads.bsky.social piece from a few years ago #noirvember crimereads.com/mr-inbetween/

More TV in 2025 THE DIPLOMAT season 2 THE DIPLOMAT season 3 LUPIN season 1 LUPIN season 2

It's me guys. I was the mysterious target audience. I like THE PREDATOR a lot

I nk longer speak to any of my 3rd grade classmates who called me Jedidiah-ria

THE LOWDOWN S2 is already overdue Great TV

(1967) SAMURAI WOLF II: HELL CUT - Hideo Gosha Enjoyed all the Gosha stuff I've seen (all new to me this year)

Beverly Michaels (also Russell Rouse [also Hugo Haas]) noir-preciation post

Holy crap, I loved VULCANIZADORA.

The essential Ellroy insight was to see that you didn’t need a Vargas character in noir, you could hang the whole thing on Quinlan.

(1941) OUT OF THE FOG - Anatole Litvak Lupino and Garfield are of course great to watch, but the real pleasure for me was the production design by Carl Jules Weyl and cinematography by James Wong Howe. The moody lighting and harbor and diner sets are so lovely I want to crawl inside and live there

Quittin time read: THE JUGGER by Richard Stark

So far watched every episode of THE CHAIR COMPANY twice. Can't be a good sign for my mental health

Whoa! Came all the way from London but ended up on the porch at our old house for weeks before it found its way home like a lost cat. Looks amazing. Foil stamping to make stuff jump. Never had a book this fancy before! Get yer pizza fingers all over it. Thanks, @daturabooks.bsky.social!

I interviewed filmmaker Abel Ferrara about his incredible new memoir, SCENE. Along the way, we talked about his films, his life, his addictions, and his thoughts on redemption (and the LA Dodgers). For @bwdr.bsky.social: www.brightwalldarkroom.com/2025/11/03/a...

(1928) BEGGARS OF LIFE - William A. Wellman Tramps on the run drama with some great location shooting. Louise Brooks can hold the screen, boy howdy and between this one and OTHER MEN'S WOMEN I feel comfortable saying I'm going to be a fan of any train-centric Wellman movie.

Now that I've posted 1920-2020 I'll be going through occasionally posting movies I saw later that I liked more than the one I posted about for specific years

I really enjoyed PLAY DIRTY

Movies I watched in October 2025

Intriguing picks.

Okay, I'd be up for one more Indiana Jones movie

I want to visit everybody's houses and look at their books, movies, and music collections... always a little disappointed when new visitors don't inspect mine

Nick Cave plays a corpse in LAWLESS

an early and important crush of mine that was unfortunately complicated when a friend's mom told me that if I had a sister she'd look like Winona Ryder

Didn't watch a lot of scary stuff during spooky movie season this year, but I did first time watch a Carpenter, a Craven, a Del Toro, a De Toth, a Quay brothers, a Romero and a Wynorski plus THE DESCENT, FRANKENSTEIN, A PAGE OF MADNESS & SANATORIUM UNDER THE SIGN OF THE HOURGLASS on the big screen

For spooky movie season - I talked to Mike White and Axel Kohagen about Brad Anderson's SESSION 9 www.projectionboothpodcast.com/2018/10/epis...

The monster has gone digital. Be careful what you InstaGoogleTweetFace

Been singing the Red Ball Market Global song for tooooo long

Tuesday tastes wild

Happy Birthday to Dennis Franz! Hear him on our BLOW OUT episode: www.projectionboothpodcast.com/2013/11/epis...

(2018) DESTINATION WEDDING - Victor Levin Went in blind and was utterly charmed. The chemistry between our two beautiful bickering leads was such that I didn't even notice the gimmick till near the end of the movie and then I liked it more. Urbane, witty and snide is my love language.

I've read 2 retrospectives on EDGE OF DARKNESS today and neither addressed the 'Craven kisses his dead daughter's vibrator' scene.

THE QUEEN OF MARVIN'S HARD-ONS

My biggest regret in never finishing the follow-up to my last book is no longer having an outlet for the porno-parody titles of a character named Jack Dickleson, star of FIVE EASY NIECES, 'GINATOWN and AS GOOD AS ASS GETS

Went to the movie shows twice this weekend. Friday night saw Guillermo Del Toro's gorgeous (and genuinely upsetting) FRANKENSTEIN and Saturday caught a 20th anniversary screening of Neil Marshall's THE DESCENT. Good weekend

Cozy reading season has begun. Sunday read: THE SINS OF THE FATHERS by Lawrence Block

I will always listen to Megan Abbott on Brian De Palma

Cinema’s preeminent forensic pathologist @oneblakeminute.bsky.social & I talk Michael Mann’s much maligned 2nd feature film THE KEEP, the doco I produced about its making, & the mind-boggling special edition @imprintfilms.bsky.social has just released. Listen now wherever podcasts are casting…

Not many celebrity memoirs I'm particularly interested in. Abel Ferrara's though...

Incredible title

I love ANNIE HALL. Didn't know a lot of this stuff tho. Good piece

Watched A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE and Jason Clarke was great as Victor Garber

Never seen that cover tho

Good news
