    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    Now THAT'S a lamp! It took a bit of elbow grease to rid this beauty of half-a-century of dust and dirt but it was worth it. A $15 thrift store find from yesterday.

    Noir lit

    You could also try anything by Jim Thompson. I found his novels somewhat bleak, however. I just picked up a Cornell Woolwich omnibus by Penguin with Rear Window, I Married a Dead Man and Waltz into Darkness. Haven't started it yet but it looks interesting. I figured if Rear Window was good...

    What Are You Reading

    Finally found a copy of The Simple Act of Murder by Raymond Chandler. I just finished the superb essay by Chandler on the topic of detective fiction that acts as the introduction in Vintage Books edition. Excellent. Can't wait to start the short stories.

    Your TOP Bogart movie..?

    I like Bogart as an actor and I certainly enjoy his 'noir' films but sometimes I think people underestimate his acting skills by concentrating on The Big Sleep or Casablanca (both films that I enjoy, by the way). Although he managed, like every actor, to make a few stinkers (still can't get...

    What's your favorite, most psychologial-impressive movie scene??

    Mine is actually a fairly quiet scene from the film Mississippi Burning. It's the scene in the kitchen when Gene Hackman and Frances McDormand are having a sort of down home conversation. Specifically it is that split second when the conversation changes from being a friendly chat to an...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Latest Fargo episode. I'll avoid spoiling it for anyone, but the Ray event was pretty unexpected! I found the first two seasons to be superb. I picked up the DVDs recently when HMV closed all of its stores and although I have already watched both seasons a couple of times, I expect I will be...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    They certainly were, at least here in Toronto. They were Catholics in a very, very 'Orange' protestant city.

    Today in History

    This is of somewhat local interest but at around 8 pm on a cold, windy April 19th in 1904, a constable on his regular beat discovered a fire on the premises of E. Currie's neckwear factory on Wellington Street. By the time the fire was extinguished, 20 hours later, 98 buildings had been...

    Just reminded by a Google doodle... Mary Pickford was born Gladys Louise Smith in Toronto 125 years ago today.

    What Are You Reading

    Reading David Grann's The Lost City of Z again. Interesting book. Fawcett was a fairly fascinating character.

    You Know You're in Canada When...

    I thought, and would certainly prefer, that politics were banned from this forum. Kindly keep your opinions to yourselves.

    Thanks...first time I've been down in that neck of the woods. I must admit I didn't much enjoy Phoenix but I really liked Tucson...and the desert was magnificent.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    True. Although I like Fonda as well, I much prefer Massey's portrayal of Lincoln over Henry Fonda's.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Just finished watching 'Santa Fe Trail'. You could fill a book with the historical inaccuracies but it was a good print of the film and I can never resist a Raymond Massey performance. The man had such an amazing screen presence. He certainly outshines Errol Flynn and Ronald Reagan in this one.
