Great, Liverpool spends like 500 million just to end up in a banter era season. Kanate didn't even jump. The hunger is gone from this team. Very sad to see after last year's glorious heights.

Make sure to bring up the BBB with everyone at your 4th of July festivities. Make sure they know how awful and disgusting the bill is. Tax cuts for billionaires, taking food away from starving children and healthcare from the disabled. Just repeat it over and over and over. Don't back down.

The Set-Up (1949)
dir by Robert Wise
I have never been a fan of boxing but it certainly makes for a great metaphor. Time slips away and dreams dissolve over the horizon. “Just one punch away”

Scarlet Street (1945)
dir by Fritz Lang
Dan Duryea as Johnny really makes this film. A good noir needs an enigmatic huckster. It makes the con both plausible and inevitable.

Gun Crazy (1950)
dir by Joseph H. Lewis
There is something distinctly American about this film. The interplay of violence and lust is unsettling if only because it is alluring.

Celebrating #noirvember with my fav noir films:
The Third Man (1949)
dir by Carol Reed
I recently did a rewatch. I must say the opening hour is so disorienting. Where is this going? Then Harry shows up and it is pure perfection til the final frame.

In A Lonely Place (1950)
dir by Nicholas Ray
What could have been an insider baseball melodrama about the business, instead becomes a runaway train of adult naivety. Defensiveness is overcome by desire which is decimated by the fear of abandonment. Too real.

Gilda (1946)
dir by Charles Vidor
How anyone human being can watch this film and not fall in love with Rita Hayworth is beyond me. The beguiling vibe of the film is intoxicating, blurring the line between lust and hate.

Sweet Smell of Success (1957)
dir by Alexander MacKendrick
One of the definitive New York City films. Unchecked ambition creates jackals who devour everything in sight until they finally destroy the only thing that matters.

Night and the City (1950)
dir by Jules Dassin
Harry Fabian is probably my favorite noir protagonist. Richard Widmark is slick, slippery, and drenched in desperation. But he never loses that sparkle in his eye, until the final frame.

I have been doing a noir survey for the last few years. Here are some of my favorites to celebrate #noirvember
They Live by Night (1948)
dir by Nicholas Ray
Doomed romance was not a noir trope. But it’s perfect for the genre. Fate brings people together and rips them apart.
