She called me a dirty word

I watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang earlier this week. It threw me a bit, but once I got into the rhythm of the movie, I really liked it.
I just saw Brick and it blew me away. Absolutely brilliant.
Amusingly enough, one of my favorite parts was when Laura used effulgent in that song.

I'm going to find me a free weekend, and I'm going to have me a Noir cocktail party. Dapper hats, mysterious blondes, jazzy period music, martinis, and danger. Well, there probably won't be any danger. Probably.

hahaha - effulgent. Is that even funny to people who didn't watch Buffy? I would guess not. Hee hee hee!

Just rent any Raymond Chandler movie, and you'll have a good idea!

I will plan it far enough in advance that you guys can make it!
I'm thinking January would be best.

I LOVE the movie Brick. Militart and I saw it a couple months ago. Glad you liked it a lot as well. :)

I found myself cheering Brendan in the first fifteen minutes of the movie. There were many frequents cheers, gasps, and laughs all the way through.

"I have all five of my senses, and I had a full night's sleep, and that puts me six up on the lot of you!" OMG what a bad ass!

Plus, Lukas Haas. LUKAS HAAS??!?!?!

I told Andy after we watched it the second time in the theater (we dragged some friends when the Brattle had it) that I didn't really get into the movie until the scene with the girl in the bathroom, when Harry's on the phone and taking a piss and then he turns around and...

I started laughing out loud at that scene and pretty much didn't stop.

The movie was a bit confusing to start. Is is a drama? Is it a comedy? Is it smug and self aware? I started really liking the dialogue when Harry and Gay Perry were going on their detective mission to the cabin. It only got better and sillier from there.

I nearly fell out of my chair during the Russian roulette scene.

She is quite the cutie, and very very funny! I wished they had kept her around in Constantine :)

Janaury is looking like the most probably date for it. It combines my desire to have a cocktail party, and to play cool music from the 40's.

And my desire to wear a fedora.

I have a bunch of crazy old-time music (much of it donated for our party last year), if you need it for this mysterious partay. I <3 the Noir. :)

I can be a mysterious blonde ;)

I've been hearing many mentions of Brick, but I cannot for the life of me remember anything about it....

jazzy period music

While not exactly period, Soma.fm's Secret Agent channel is certainly in the spirit.
