I feel a Dick Powell in tough guy mode screencapping session coming on.... (I LOVE Dick Powell, in ANY mode, whether he's crooning in a Busby Berkeley film or getting all hardboiled in a noir...)

I'll be participating again and can hardly wait!

Just a week away from the For Love of Film Noir blogathon!

Greg of Cinema Styles has made the coolest promo trailer for the blogathon... you can see it at http://cinemastyles.blogspot.com/2011/0 ... ailer.html

Hey kids! The For Love of Film Noir Blogathon begins today!

The hosts are the Self-Styled Siren at http://selfstyledsiren.blogspot.com/ and Ferdy at http://www.ferdyonfilms.com/ and you can find the links for all the participants at their sites.

I am participating in the blogathon at http://paulasmoviepage.shutterfly.com where you can find all of On Dangerous Ground, screencapped for your viewing pleasure. ;)

"Well, Ida, how much money do you think they'll raise this time?"

"I don't know, Robert, but I sure hope it's a lot so we can get Cy Endfield's The Sound of Fury properly restored!"


So if your financial situation allows, please DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/websc ... 44c97d2a2a

But even if you can't this year, please stop on by my page and the other participants' pages to enjoy everyone's words and pictures and to talk a bit o' noir.

Someone on the editorial board of The New York Times loves noirs as well. This is on the online editorial page this week:

I saw that earlier at the Siren's site. As the kids say these days, AWESOME! ;)
