Last 4. Borzage, Cohen, Losey, Ulmer... A great run.

From Joseph Losey’s ACCIDENT. Photographed off my TV.

Repost from Aislinn Clark: “These haunting medium format slides with images of an unknown woman walking into the sea were found in a Virginia thrift store by photographer Meagan Abell in 2015.”

One of my favorite first time viewings of the year so far: Edgar G. Ulmer’s ST. BENNY THE DIP from ‘51. On Prime & YouTube. BENNY: I once read somewhere that a heathen is only a guy trying to sneak into church the back way. MONK: Too mythological for me.

The noir volume of byNWR.com, which I guest edited, is coming soon...

Now reading. So damn great.

Happy birthday to my pal @BigLeeMarvinFan. Feel lucky as hell that our paths crossed. I’m celebrating by rewatching FROM THE HEAD. You should do that, too. (It’s on Tubi & available on Blu-ray.)

Really excited to get copies of the Italian edition of GRAVESEND in the mail today. Truly beautiful. Thanks to Luca Briasco, Raffaella Vitangeli, and everyone @minimumfax.

CITY OF MARGINS reviewed by Hank Wagner in the most recent issue of Mystery Scene: “[A] precious gem of a crime novel. Boyle is in top form, delivering a work that had me thinking about Dennis Lehane’s Mystic River and, thanks to Boyle’s dark, knowing humor, the work of New Yorkers like Pete Hamill and Jimmy Breslin.”

Back at the store.

SHOOT THE MOON RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES is so damn wonderful. A musical crime comedy about geezer conmen. Features songs by John Prine. Full of heart, weird, funny as hell. Truly loved it. Streaming for free on No Budge.

My favorite short films: PREMONITIONS FOLLOWING AN EVIL DEED (Lynch) LICK THE STAR (S. Coppola) GASMAN (Ramsay) MESHES OF THE AFTERNOON (Deren/Hammid) THE ACCOUNTANT (McKinnon) ROSE HOBART (Cornell) PUCE MOMENT (Anger) SIX SHOOTER (McDonagh) THUNDER ROAD (Cummings) LIGHTS (Menken)

Paperbacks of A FRIEND IS A GIFT YOU GIVE YOURSELF just showed up at my door. Cool to see it includes the opening of CITY OF MARGINS in the back. Probably gonna do a giveaway soon—sign up for my newsletter at link in bio.

One of the greatest there ever was and ever will be. RIP Charles Portis.
