I feel like I was mislead while watching #49 LA HAINE (1995) by Kanopy for listing it in their #Noirvember section. I’ll admit it has some noir-ish elements but I think it’s too much of a serious thriller than to fall under the neo-noir category. I might be wrong? Still a great film though

Movie #48 of #Noirvember 🎬 is like two movies-in-one due to the length but also 10 movies-in-one for the amount of gut-punches it dishes out while kicking you in the groin. BERLIN ALEXANDERPLATZ (2020) is the perfect neo-noir to watch if you’re feeling too happy and need to bring it down a notch.

ASCENSEUR POUR L’ÉCHAFAUD (1958) is an S-tier must-see film, a perfect movie. I’d do anything for Jeanne Moreau #Noirvember 🎬 #47

Total BS cause right from the beginning D&D has always been inclusive. I was properly introduced to role playing in 9th grade at a catholic school by a teacher who was openly lesbian and her classroom was a sanctuary during lunch periods for anyone who needed a safe space to socialize

See this was what I was talking about in the last post. I saw DU RIFIFI CHEZ LES HOMMES (1955) last month so there was no need to see it again so soon for #Noirvember 🎬 but i couldn’t sleep and wanted to watch something familiar so it’s now on the list at #46

Less than 24hrs left in #Noirvember 🎬 and I’m sad to say I won’t meet my goal of watching the list of films I had queued because I’m impulsive and continue to watch films based on my mood just like entry #45, PANIC (2000) a great neo-noir flick that i haven’t seen in 25 years. No regrets though ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A MAGA relative's new get rich quick scheme is becoming an actor at 50 so on Thanksgiving I learned about AI vertical shorts. His "agent" who charges 10k for 6 months of "representation" arranges his "auditions" He always gets the part. For the in-app price of $25/week, you can watch the following:

Paying taxes so that the Carney government can spam me with pointless annoying ads while I’m watching Prime Video is fucking annoying. Oh, you don’t want to see ads that you paid for on a streaming platform you pay for? Well you can pay is MORE money then 🤬🖕🖕

Is the Giant Size Criminal back cover too subtle?

As I was headed to bed I made the mistake of grabbing my phone and at the end of a short rabbit hole I discovered QUIET PLEASE, MURDER (1942) a rarely seen b-movie that runs only 70 mins so i told myself “why not make it pick #44 of #Noirvemer?” 🎬 And you know what, I do not regret it.

This is so interesting youtu.be/VSrQK6bSHko?...

LE ROUGE EST MIS (1957) was watched before RAZZIA and is listed out of order but I’m too lazy to fix it so it’s now #43 on this #Gabintember aka #Noirvember watch list

Martin Scorsese’s THE LAST WALTZ (1978) documenting THE BAND’s final concert is the best #Thanksgiving movie 🎥 🎬

If you sit down to watch a film and this logo shows up you can be rest assured that you’re about to see one hell of a movie #Criterion #FilmSky

Earlier this month of #Noirvember i watched a bunch film starring Alain Delon and it looks like I’ll be ending the month with a bunch of films starring Jean Gabin. PÉPÉ LE MOKO (1937) is Noir #41 this month

#Noirvember film #40 was THE SET-UP (1949) which for me I think is one of those overrated noirs. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good movie but does it deserve all the accolades? I just don’t think it falls under the “Great” category

On this day, 28 November 1919, Faye Schulman, photographer & Jewish resistance partisan, was born in Lenin, Poland. Faye survived the war and moved to Toronto, Canada, living to the age of 101. May her memory be blessing. May her life be an example. #fayeschulman, #originalantifa

Giant-Size Criminal #1 is out on Wednesday, with variant covers from @panelsyndicate.bsky.social @duncanfegredo.bsky.social and @jhwilliams3.bsky.social

George Raft, or as I call him “The Poor Man’s Humphrey Bogart” stars in BACKGROUND TO DANGER (1943), entry #39 for #Noirvember 🎬. In addition, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre also play supporting roles.

Movie #38 of #Noirvember 🎬 was LA BÊTE HUMAINE (1938) by Jean Renoir starring Jean Gabin who was an absolute beast in this

I get that like last year’s series these stamps feature new art but it kills me that Canada Post has now issued stamps of 10 comic book artists and none of them are Darwyn Cooke or Jeff Lemire www.cbc.ca/books/new-st...

Lets face it, this is a good day for oil companies, businesses, and those in the oil sector. Its a bad day for the environment and for reconciliation with Indigenous nations whose lands this thing will go over. As Blanchet stated, this is the official end of Canada's climate commitments.

Carney rode into power claiming nation-building project of pipelines & ports & profit for corporations. Canada-Alberta pipeline MOU today proves what nation-building on these lands always is - devastating colonial extraction on Indigenous lands without Indigenous consent No consent, no pipelines!

After #NoirAlley my second favourite programming feature is #TCMImports. I was finally able to borrow a copy of Alicia Malone’s beautiful book There’s 52 movies discussed plus a ton of other recommendations mentioned I’m setting myself the goal of watching one film from this list per week in 2026

#Noirvember 🎬 movie #37 was John Huston’s THE ASPHALT JUNGLE (1950) with my friends from #FilmNoirClub. Huston was a member of Committee for the First Amendment in support of the Hollywood Ten and later moved to Ireland to avoid any backlash from McCarthyism

I’m baffled why “Dix” is not a more popular baby name these days #FilmNoirClub #Noirvember

James Nunn continues to be one of the most consistent and talented directors bringing us entertaining DTV flicks. By the numbers crime caper elevated by Beckinsale who is great, Lewis Tan effortlessly stealing the movie along with plenty of varied and violent hard hitting action.

Movie #32 of #Noirvember 🎬 was MACAO (1952) starring Jane Russell. There are no other actors in this film. I don’t know who directed it, I don’t know who wrote it and I’m not even sure if there was a story or score? Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After 1947 leftist filmmakers were treated as outlaws so as a result their best works featured the perspective of outsiders and criminals. Audiences also tended to be more sympathetic to those characters. THE ASPHALT JUNGLE shows corruption through every layer of American society #FilmNoirClub

Night Must Fall anyone?

If they really wanted to reduce the price of cars how about they remove the tariffs 😂🤡

Note that THE ASPHALT JUNGLE (1950) should not be confused with THE HUMAN JUNGLE (1954) or THE CONCRETE JUNGLE (1960) aka THE CRIMINAL or THE GARMENT JUNGLE (1957) or THE STEEL JUNGLE (1956) #Noirvember #FilmNoirClub

WHAT??? www.bbc.com/news/article...

JOURNEY INTO FEAR (1942) sure looks gorgeous (love the rain scenes) but the story is pretty typical cookie-cutter RKO and has me rolling my eyes a few times but I’m still glad i decided to rewatch it for entry #36 of #Noirvember 🎬

Movie #35 of #Noirvember was THE UNSUSPECTED (1947) which was a first time watch for me. I love Claude Rains so it probably gets an extra half-star just for that fact.

Entry #34 for #Noirvember 🎬 was a palate cleanser, a sorbet compared to the bowl of gravel that came before it. Obviously not a TrueNoir™ and only noir-inspired, but for me this month is a celebration of all things noir therefore I’m counting it. Have you seen Jim Henson’s DOG CITY:THE MOVIE (1989)?
