Of all the actors who have played Philip Marlowe, Robert Montgomery in "Lady in the Lake" (1947) counts as my least favourite. I'm digging the classics that are up on YouTube posted in ten minute clips. I watched this one last night. The camera work presents Marlowe's point of view through his sight line which seems too gimmicky, while it also empties the leading man of all personality and...
Halloween is past, Thanksgiving is three and a half weeks away, and the new cans of Coke in the bodega downstairs have pictures of Santa Claus on 'em. This time of year, I tend of get a little reflective. I remember somebody once linking to this site and writing that, while he liked it, he wasn't sure what "the purpose of this blog" is meant to be. I could sympathize, even as it occurred...
Parts #1 and #2: Here and here. Farber: "Good coarse romantic-adventure nonsense, exploiting the expressive dead-pans of Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell, a young man and a young woman who would probably enjoy doing in real life what they have...

Anyhoodle, today’s Monday Hotness is only the second time in Hotness History where I’ve posted Hotnii with whom –all things being equal– I’d like to get squelchy. David Bowie and Zachary Quinto.

I love how Halloween has taken over October. For one thing, it's lots of fun. For another, it stops the capitalists from foisting Christmas on us too soon. Without Halloween, Macy's would be decorating Christmas trees in September. And the best thing: OLD HORROR MOVIES. If you have never seen Robert Mitchum's deranged preacher (movie still at left) in Night of the Hunter , your big chance is tonight...
