Buffistas

You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeah...I think so.

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!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

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.]

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

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.

Kinda like fish in a barrell, wasn't it? I wouldn't go feeling like a heavy or anything, Hec. It was at least dented before you got here.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Bit of DETOUR trivia: the lead actor, Tom Neal, later went to prison for 10 years for the "involuntary manslaughter" - interesting term for a .45 slug to the back of the head - of his wife. [link]

There's an anthology coming out next month called "Baltimore Noir"

It's out now! I bought it for mom at Atomic Books this weekend.

Question--is there any way to put together a list of authors and be notified when they have a new book out/coming out? Amazon suprisingly doesn't seem to be able to do this (or maybe I'm just a moron who can't get to the right help file). You'd think it would be easy enough, but...
