Anyone else not buy that 'origin' story for Hitch? I mean it's a great story but it just seems too perfect to believe.

I know this is controversial but Inherent Vice is from 2014 so it's about five or six decades too late to be a film noir in my opinion. That being said, it's an oddball but fun detective movie.

I know Shaft is seen as "just" a blaxploitation picture but I think there's pretty clearly a talented hand behind the camera. The Learning Tree, while much lesser seen, is a good movie too.

It's never specified but I've always imagined that they're at the warehouse for under two hours or maybe only an hour. I'm no doctor but I think Orange could live that long. I can't believe that I've spent thirty years laughing at the line in the movie when Nice Guy Eddie says (spoilerized for...

I bartend and that is usually the key to IDing someone from a picture.

It does seem like they said "Redd, just do what you did in Cotton Comes To Harlem" and he said "OK".

I never really considered Psycho to be a noir but I can buy the idea that the first 30 minutes are noir and after that, it's a horror movie. He's right to have stopped his book at Psycho though.

Great double feature.

The Straight Story also has Lynch's wonderfully composed frames. Like all Lynch movies, almost every shot in the movie would make a beautiful photograph.

I assume that they will be announcing the UHD really soon because it seems like it'll have to be an October release.

I have an admittedly narrow view of what is noir so Shadow Of A Doubt doesn't come close for me. That being said, it's a fantastic movie and one of Hitchcock's best... which is really saying something. TCM has a marathon of Hitchcock movies from tomorrow morning until Monday morning. I'll sleep...

I disagree with the assessment of the movie but "thumbs up" your watching it. :)

I've got sympathy for any group that has been beaten up metaphorically and literally for pretty much all of its history but if someone wants to critique Psycho six decades after the fact, I think a much more apt criticism would be of its depiction of mental illness.

Sounds like the coolest movie theater manager in history ran that joint.

My favorite Val Lewton movie behind Cat People.

Geez, social media poisons and kills the world and you guys are suddenly against it? Oh wait, that's actually a pretty good reason to hate it.

I'm just guessing but I think studios will focus on their streaming platforms right now. Depending on how that works, maybe they'll buy a theater chain if those are failing and can be bought cheap.

LIke Peter says, he's a different character each time. I said they're "horror movies" but they're mysteries (like the series title says :) ) rather than having Dracula or the Wolf Man running around the European Street set at Universal. They're B-movies but if someone enjoys low budget movies...

They're B horror movies made by Universal in the war years mostly starring Lon Chaney. I love them but I love all those Universal horror pictures from that era.

I'm sure the first part of that Tweet is true but how does he know that they won't make the original available too? I can't believe that Disney is saying to filmmakers "Hey, wanna remake [fill in the blank]? We'll burn the negative of the original one if you remake it."

I agree, she's a fantastic actor.

That's definitely a theory and I can't say that it's not a possibility but I think it coming out in August and not having the budget that big studios have to mount an Oscar campaign were the bigger problems.

I could be wrong but I'd bet that it's with Criterion since it's on Filmstruck and they've resurrected their commentary track.

I love me some Taraji but the reviews scared me off.

I was kind of on the fence about seeing this but you might have just got me to go see it.

Any and all episodes of that podcast is worth a listen for classic movie fans. :)
