I would probably refer to it as chock-full-of-meta, fourth-wall-breaking noir.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Hmm. It seemed way too silly and funny to be noir, to me, and not just the meta stuff (which I really liked). Though it's not a comedy, either; but I think it incorporates a lot of comedic elements.

Um, Peter Jackson put his daughter in blackface in King Kong? WTF?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I thought Katie Jackson was the pretty young girl shopping in New York before they set sail. The camera lingered on her for some reason.

Could be - I really thought she was the savage.
So, if you add My Big Fat Greek Wedding to your Netflix queue, Netflix recommends Secretary.
Um.

I like them both, but I can see that they don't seem to go together. I am always amused by the netflix recommendations and the amazon ones.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Swingers The decision as to whether or not to call an ex-girlfriend leads to a pooling equilibrium in which neither those seeking reconciliation or avoiding it ought to call.
Love.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
I have a pretty schizophrenic sense of humour so it was no surprise that a lot of Down With Love left me cold but Renee Zellweger's Rube Goldbergian monologue is probably the funniest thing I've seen all year.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
