I really enjoyed reading your well-written observations.
I made some similar comments several years back when last I watched it. Comments here: #26,651
⇧ I saw it years ago on cable, closer to when it came out, and remember a similar reaction. Ronan's performance, as always, is impressive, but the story felt force and incomplete (from memory).

Love Like The Falling Petals is a contemporary romantic novel written by the popular Japanese author Keisuke Uyama that takes the reader on a heartbreaking but inspiring...
I do the same and have found myself quite into the season as if it was happening live as I have no idea how well the Dodgers did in any of these particular years.
Cops arresting criminals holding up an illegal dice game is so 1940s, especially since it was one of the dice players who called the cops. There's a "meta" joke in there somewhere.
Burma: "You short-circuited a full color dream I was working on." I think Burma just overshared with us. Note...

If Gaslight and Dial M for Murder were mashed up, you'd have something like Sleep, My Love.
It has Gaslight's husband trying to make his wife think she's...
"I only borrowed the money and it wasn't in exchange for, well, for what you're thinking. If 'that' happened anyway, it was incidental to the exchange of money. That's my story and I'm sticking to it." - Senga
I love the book and have read it three or four times (it's a fast read). I also love the movie and have seen it at least three or four times.
Knowing you as I do from this forum, I think you will greatly enjoy both the book and film, but as you plan, reading the book first is the way to go.

Having just read though their first meeting in the Clover Press edition, I'd agree with Lizzie. There was something there, but even Burma knew it would be wrong and Terry was too young to be the instigator. Also, Burma really wanted to roll around in the hay with Pat and she knew banging Terry...
The Samurai from 1967 with Alain Delon, Nathalie Delon and Francois Perier
"Neo Noir" is definitionally meta as it uses classic film noir for its foundation, often adding color and current cultural references, but in an overall style that is an homage to noir's original fatalistic and often...
Believe me, I wasn't checking up on her, I just wanted to see the full pic and thought others would too.
Long-time readers know I can't say enough good things about Lizzie.
