Nice piece in Bright Lights about icon of film noir Gloria Grahame. While the author denigrates her performance in Oklahoma (perhaps because it invalidates the thesis of doom) this is a devoted—perhaps slightly lascivious—account of the career of one of the genuine bad girls. Meanwhile, over at Davekehr.com there’s an account of 1952′s The Sniper, a recently rereleased (to TCM) made-in-San Francisco noir that may have anticipated Vertigo (50 years young this week).
Good article on Grahame, and love that sultry still from “Human Desire.” As far as I can tell, “Human Desire,” a great Frtiz Lang noir that I saw many years ago, is unavailable on DVD currently. That is most frustrating. Maybe somebody can tell me different, so I won’t be so pissed off at a world in which our best cultural artifacts are sometimes locked away where we can’t get at them.
Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. But imagine if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!

Great website you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any forums that cover the same topics discussed here?

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% sure. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Somewhere within the paragraphs you actually managed to make me a believer but just for a short while.
