Crap! I meant to go to a reading from Manhattan Noir, but I think it was yesterday. Ah well. I want to buy it, anyway.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Cool...I have DC Noir.(My fake boyfriend likes Greek carrots.) Pelecanos re karoti.(Yes, I used babelfish for inside joke. I'm a Buffista. Have we met?) Will be interested in reading both "Baltimore" and "Manhattan" Still wonder why there isn't Desert Noir. Was truly born on the wrong coast.

Bzzzt! Wrong answer. You'd know if you saw it. It's the ultimate B-movie Noir. Ends with the male lead accidentally strangling the evil femme fetale Ann Savage - and isn't that a name - with a phone cord through a locked door.
C'mon!

How 'bout Lone Star ?
[FYI, double checking the title on IMDB, there are five separate guys listed as aka Lonestar. Yes, Virginia, there really is a Dread Cowboy Lonestar.]

The Coen Brothers' Blood Simple could surely be thought of as Texas noir.

happy now?
Because I crushed your spirit? Yes. But only because it's the noir thing to do.
Now go Netflix Detour. And make sure you get the original from the 40s.
