Day 13 of #NoirvemberChallenge
“Favorite low-budget film noir”
I love “Detour” ($117k) and “Gun Crazy” ($400k), both low budget! Even “Narrow Margin” ($230k) is a favorite.
But my ultimate favorite is “Kiss Me Deadly”. Budget was $410k.

Day 12: “Sexiest Film Noir”
Ohhh, as a very amorous not-so-private dick, I love this.
Noir: “Niagra”. Marilyn’s character was on fire.
(Runner-up: “The Big Sleep” for the “horse racing” talk alone.)
Neo-Noir: “Bound”. The chemistry between those 2, honestly.

Brandon doesn’t wear his helmet during practice because our golden retriever likes to feel the wind through his hair just like when he sticks his head out during car rides. #GoKraken

Day 11 of #NoirvemberChallenge
A perfect one just for me on this Veteran’s Day.
“Favorite Bar or Cocktail Scene in a Noir”
They’re all good cocktail scenes, Brent!
Fine-
Noir:
Gloria Grahame makes a batch while dancing in “The Big Heat”
Neo-Noir:
Shave & A Haircut “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”
A perfect one just for me on this Veteran’s Day.

Huh. I could ask Nora.

A guy who can’t solve something easily while drunk? Should have come to me for advice!
San Juan Salish gin (from freezer)
Noilly Prat vermouth
Cocchi
Lillet blanc
Lemon peel
(The oils are more pronounced by freezing. The consistency is also changed.)
