book: Tequila Blue (1992; trans 2004 Nick Caistor) by Rolo Diez
Noirish Posted by John Grant on Feb 17, 2019
A truly savage satire of corruption in Mexican society but most especially among the Mexican police, Tequila Blue is strong meat that’s most definitely not for everyone. Carlos Hernandez is a Mexican cop and therefore (according to the novel) a crook — he has to be in order to survive, read more

Quote: Brigitte Bardot on Humanity
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Feb 17, 2019

In a way, humanity remains like an animal. It functions as a herd. Man is fundamentally selfish, and most people do not react to a cause unless it directly affects them … I want the public to be indignant, to come out of its comfort zone.

Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Feb 17, 2019
And no, that's not a misspelling. We're referring to Shadoplay, the short-lived, low-priced sibling of its legendary sister fan magazine, Photoplay. Shadoplay began publication in early 1933 (https://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/484371.html). While the 10-cent mag promised the same level of sophist read more

Mister Buddwing (1966, Delbert Mann)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 16, 2019
Mister Buddwing is kind of amazing. And exceptional. But only if both those descriptors are used as pejoratives. Like. Wow. What a mess it is. What’s funny is how director Mann maybe sees what he’s trying to do with the film but doesn’t see how he’s not achieving it. The film wants to be edgy read more
