I guess I go with the, there's going to be a lot more crap cases than good cases, but let me at least try to think of how the good cases could shake out, in some sort of solipsistic exercise that...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

I've seen both Jackie Brown and Blow Out, voted for neither. No strong opinion on their presence here. I guess Blow Out feels more political thriller to me (which isn't out of place with the rest of...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Film Noir Countdown

I didn't around to The Big Heat (it was somewhere on the Watchlist) before the countdown.

Well, I think the OP's issue is with the usage of the term. Which now becomes an subject of etymology, which, if we start referring to things as a "film franchise" at a later date, we might start...

I haven't seen a lot of Gyllenhaal's performances, and Nightcrawler might have actually been the first one. I will say, the face, and especially the pitch of his voice doesn't match the general...

High and Low - I do not particularly care for Kurosawa, so unsurprisingly this did not make my ballot. I will say, the parts of Kurosawa films I usually dislike the most are when people are talking,...

Ace in the Hole was, checks list, #4 on my ballot. Dark melodrama noir did well on my ballot. I look at the literal circus in the movie and think, "I guess this is an example of satire that doesn't...

Though I was just googling something else related to Tubi and saw someone claiming on X that Tubi is asking content producers to start editing versions of their movies/etc.
But it's X, so who knows.

I usually attribute these type of things to being slightly different cuts/versions of the film. This seems more likely as an explanation in my mind because of going to 35mm & 16mm screenings of...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

I still have never seen Memories of a Murder. I'm pretty sure I've seen all of Sin City. Since it's an anthology movie and I read some of the source graphic novels, it all kind of blurs together....
