Great discussion by the @warmovietheatre.bsky.social crew about one of my favorite genre mixes — war and noir. Attack! is hard-boiled combat drama with a fantastic cast, unsung and ahead of its time. Nice counterpart to another fave, Kubrick's Paths of Glory. Get the podcast, see the movie. #noir
NEW EPISODE! Robert Aldrich's grim, cynical Attack! starring Jack Palance and Lee Marvin as US soldiers fighting for different things in the Battle of the Bulge. With special guest Mark Greig - @wrdface.bsky.social - screenwriter of detectives of every sort.
Wherever you get your podcasts.

RIP Maria Riva. What an amazing life! Her biography of her mother Marlene Dietrich is one of the best in the genre.

Great thread from a fellow born-and-raised Portlander. I ❤️ this town.

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread:
I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong.
So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

TLDR: Judge Immergut GRANTS a 2nd TRO blocking the Trump admin from sending ANY federalized troops from ANY state into Oregon/Portland. (Full hearing thread below)
Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

RIP Martin Cruz Smith. Great writer and big inspiration to me.
Vale Martin Cruz Smith, aged 82. Like many famous authors he started in pulp & wrote under various names until he found fame with the Arkady Renko series. I read first four Renko books travelling through Eastern Europe in 1990s & remember marvelling at their vivid depictions of Soviet era policing
