Re: Noir Alley
TAATPV, pretty entertaining and a cool title too. I also became confused about the plot details, though the overall idea was not too hard to follow. The guy out for revenge against the people who killed someone he was associated with, even though it was just other criminals. He was likely more in it...

Re: Noir Alley
Heller gives me somewhat of a pain, I don’t know why. Thought Catch 22 was brilliant, but turned off by Something Happened, and I just don’t like the looks of the guy. Doesn’t mean anything of course. There was a girl yesterday, I was walking to the liquor store, and she came up behind me and start...

Re: Noir Alley
I always thought Eddie wrote his own intros/outros. His are longer than the other hosts' and provide more info on the source of the film and on the screenplay. I watch noirs on YT, some good, some average. I just watched Try and Get Me! starring Frank Lovejoy and Lloyd Bridges. Lloyd plays one of th...

Re: Noir Alley
I don't even know what ID stands for. Investigation Discovery, it's a cable channel specializing in true crime. I just reread Catch-22 a few years ago. I remember when the movie came out it got mostly bad reviews. I haven't seen it in a long time so I'd have to watch it again to evaluate it.

Re: I Just Watched...
Yeah, it kind of does. I like Staten Island too. If it becomes
too cumbersome one can always use Island as a middle name.

Re: Noir Alley
There probably wouldn't be enough interest to start a stand alone ID thread and only some of the shows are worth talking about. But there are many noirish elements to these shows: The psychological problems of some of the characters, a twist of fate, the innocent person looked at by the police as gu...

Re: I Just Watched...
Howcum Brooklyn is a fairly popular name but Queens, Bronx, Manhattan, and
Staten Island aren't?
Staten Island aren't?

Re: In Vinyl Veritas
The album and song were hits when they first came out in the mid 1980s.
Unfortunately, this was their only big hit in the U.S., though they had
longer lasting success in other places.

Re: Noir Alley
I watched a few of his shows, but his persona kind of creeps me out. I never found him creepy, just too intense. He did often have interesting cases. What could be more noir than murders, confused individuals with deep psychological problems who often don't fit into the surrounding environment, inn...

Re: In Vinyl Veritas
One of my favorite songs and my favorite album, though with the
caveat that the last Elton John album I bought was Goodbye
Yellow Brick Road.
