something is coming in 39 days, lets make this year bigger than the last

I do, most defiantly

Day 1: 1 Noirvember 2021 took a while to get to this point, but after reading so many influential members on this forum, I realized just how much of a novice I was in the world of film noir, something I hope to remedy quickly. Cut the cord almost 10 years ago, so this is a Physical Media...
