If I were in a crime drama or some sort of detective piece of media, I don’t want to be the main character, or even a side character… I want to own an Evil Boat. You know the one, the boat where shady men and women in various styles of black suits and dresses get together to discuss their various schemes whilst sipping from comically tiny champagne flutes, I want to own the boat they’re having those discussions on, particularly at dusk where sinister lighting frames their faces. They’ll be discussing their stuff and I’ll be somewhere in the far distance eating from a cheeseboard, and life would be good. I’d like to reiterate that I don’t endorse or support crime, but Evil Boat owner is my dream role.

Ever felt the pull of a shadowy city street? Noir fiction wraps readers in mystery and moral complexity. Check out this piece to learn why these tales still captivate:

Unmasking the Secrets of Noir and Hardboiled Fiction

By Lothar Tuppan

It’s Noirvember! Time to enjoy all things Film Noir, Roman Noir, Chocolat Noir, and Pinot Noir. Silly as that last sentence was, it does make plain that the French word “noir” just translates into English as “black.” So what exactly is “noir” in relation to cinematic (“Film Noir”) and literary (“Roman Noir”) fiction? What is its relationship with the, often associated, term “Hardboiled,” and what is its connections and relationship to Existentialism, Nihilism, and Philosophical Pessimism? This short essay is just a very brief introduction to a, surprisingly, complex topic. Whole books have been written on the subject (see bibliography below for some examples) and I encourage those who find the topic as fascinating as I do to pick them up.

Have a crackpot theory: the people who enjoy most of the new police procedurals that have been coming out recently just secretly wanna watch soap operas but don’t have the Guts

Movie Analysis and Review: "Dog Day Afternoon" (1975)

Introduction:“Dog Day Afternoon” presents a gripping narrative of a botched bank robbery that escalates into a day-long hostage situation, unveiling the complexities of its characters amidst a media frenzy and FBI intervention. Synopsis:In the sweltering summer of 1972, inexperienced criminal Sonny Wortzik (Al Pacino) orchestrates a bank heist in Brooklyn with his accomplice Sal Naturile (John…

I feel that acknowledging a piece of media as problematic and finding it worth engaging with are not mutually exclusive. And from that perspective, you know what’s a real fuckin’ interesting movie? Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997).

Like, okay. It was directed by notorious-right-winger Clint Eastwood. But it also features one of the most respectful (for the mainstream) depictions of a trans woman (and like, the actual person—it’s based on a true crime book and they got her to play herself) of its era.

And if that wasn’t enough, the villain is Kevin Spacey, playing a man who’s trying to use the closet as a defense for murder. Which is like… kinda on the nose?

Plus, it stars John Cusack, who gets to say the line “everyone down here is heavily armed and drunk; New York is boring.” And Jude Law is there. It’s a weird ride, but it’s a helluva movie. (It is 2 hours and 35 minutes long, though, so know that going in.)
