Haven't seen those yet (but sounds like something I might like).

[BREAKING NEWS: Roman Polanski arrested in Switzerland]

Haven't really been watching a lot of "South Park" lately, though I'd love to see what they would do with a Polanski episode. I'm sure they'd be quite merciless.

[TCM's birthday tribute to Eddie Albert - 4/22]

I think he certainly deserves to be recognized, and I'm glad TCM had such a great selection of his movies to showcase - my DVR was very busy yesterday, and I'll probably be transferring a lot of those movies to DVD-R until late tonight.

[Nightmare Alley and how it pertains to being film noir]

> And my vague recollection from reading A Panorama of American Film Noir far too long ago is that if the authors did not categorize *Citizen Kane* as a film noir, they came thisclose. We don't generally think of it as such today, but that may be because it was (and continues to be) such a monumental cinematic work that limiting it to any category seems belittling.

 

No, actually the authors of "Panorama of American Film Noir" said Citizen Kane was unclassifiable:

 

>To a large extent the history of cinema is a history of series. Unclassifiable films exist, of course: Orson Welles's "Citizen Kane" or Clifford Odet's "None But the Lonely Heart" are two such.

 

Good points regarding the difference between noir in general an American noir, though.
