Of course that is 8 1/2. I will turn in my film fan badge in shame at the first available opportunity.

Last Year at Marienbad?

That's Randolph Scott, so...Comanche Station?

Ugh...no! Dammit. That's Randolph Scott AND Joel McCrea. I know what movie this is, and it's not Comanche Station.

Why does emboss filter exist in graphics software?

Instead of using it on images, use it on text. Some neat effects to be gained.

I also used it to create a stamped-foil look on this cover mockup:

My heart, she is broken.

I'm curious as to the current state of Asher and Covling.

Ponch nailed it. That's a young Lucille Ball...



Indeed a film noir! A pretty good one too!

"Of course he did. No guy in his right mind wears a white suit on a shag job."

Well, just so I'm not totally being an Eric, that's good ol' Rita Hayworth as Gilda.

Well, it's definitely either got choreography by, or influenced by Busby Berkeley.

Barton Fink?

20,000 Leagues Under The Sea?

Winner winner chicken dinner!

Big fan of Cliff Curtis since seeing Whale Rider.

Here's a new one for you:

The Fountain?

I've had enough of this thread. I'm LeeVing.

Always take it as teeing up. I always feel guilty answering quickly after taking a turn. But I'm tempted when it's a movie that I love the hell out of, like this one. Or Terror in a Texas Town.

Selmiak -- I just got lucky! My film appreciation students are watching neo-noir films this week, and I just screened Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction to see which I preferred to offer on their list of film choices. I went with Reservoir Dogs (and a bunch more, including, yes, Blade Runner!).

Can you give us a...hint? I haven't a...idea. Flames, flames down the side of my face.

Maybe you'll be better at curtain spotting if there are pretty ladies in front of them?

I did indeed recognize this door and curtain from PULP FICTION!
