If only I had the ear of a big-shot movie producer (with some brains) for just a few minutes…

Phillip Marlowe is one of my favorite fictional characters of all time…and The Big Sleep is my favorite Marlowe movie, period. Starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, this cream of the crop Raymond Chandler Noir thriller encompasses everything Film Noir is about: The seedier side of life, making no distinction for class, wealth or education. Crime, and the inevitable punishment. Gambling. Loose women. Murder. read more...Noir Movie Monday: The Big Sleep, 1946

Unofficial Word on The Tonga Room, San Francisco: I think we’ll be open for a long time to come

They were ready to accept a reservation for the last weekend in June, and when I asked if the rumors that they were closing were true, the answer was “I think we’ll be open for a long time to come.”
