Final #LastFourWatched for #Noirvember
A screenshot of a movie-tracking app showing the “Recent Activity” section with four film posters displayed in a row. From left to right: 1. Chinatown — illustrated poster with a woman’s face emerging from swirling smoke and a man in a fedora below. Rated five stars. 2. Zodiac — a foggy nighttime image of the Golden Gate Bridge with the film’s title over it. Rated four and a half stars. 3. Lost Highway — split black-and-white cover featuring a man’s shadowed mouth on top and a woman’s face below, with yellow title text across the middle. Rated three and a half stars with a rewatch icon. 4. Crossfire — vintage red-toned noir poster featuring a man in a suit with a pistol and three smaller floating heads. Rated three and a half stars.

A hand holds a Criterion Collection Blu-ray of David Lynch’s Lost Highway. The cover art is split horizontally: the top half shows a close-up of a man’s shadowed mouth and chin in a dark, muted tone, and the bottom half shows a black-and-white close-up of a woman’s lips and face. The title “LOST HIGHWAY” runs across the middle in bold yellow text. A TV screen with a blue glow is blurred in the background.

When all else fails with getting the creative gears turning, there’s Saul Bass.
A book titled Saul Bass: A Life in Film & Design rests on a gray fabric surface. The white cover features a large black abstract, angular figure reminiscent of Saul Bass’s iconic graphic style. The title is printed in bold orange text, with the authors Jennifer Bass and Pat Kirkham, and a foreword by Martin Scorsese, listed in small blue text in the lower right corner.

Hello, Los Angeles!
A close-up shot of a weathered red-and-white metal post covered in stickers, including a circular one with a geometric design and the handle “@barbourshopcreative,” a colorful “Imposter Syndrome” sticker with a cartoon figure, and a black-and-white “Sixto” sticker. The background is out of focus, showing gravel and pavement.

Still unpacking all of the great stuff from the Sundance shorts package. PASTA NEGRA, OUT FOR DELIVERY and THE FLOWERS STAND SILENTLY, WITNESSING really stand out amongst the pack to me.

RIP Olivia Hussey — an absolute force of nature on the screen. Incredible actor and belongs on the Mount Rushmore of final girls.

Updated the ol favs too!

*side note* I’ve probably not watched the first JACKASS movie since it was released on dvd (even though I’ve rewatched the sequels several times). I completely forgot how pure their original mission of having fun and being funny was back before shit got way off the rails.

RIDDLE OF FIRE is definitely the “surprise/completely blew me away” movie of the year.
