That's what I was thinking about. And I think about other things, also, all the time. But that's what I was thinking about when I was thinking about TJSA. THE END.

You mean the Eliot Gould “Long Goodbye?” I never liked that. it seems like the novelty of Eliot Gould being in that film is what makes it a cult classic.

I mean other modern noir films I can watch over and over again are “To Live and Die in L.A.”, “The Limey” and “Out of Sight.” Might put “Jackie Brown” in there but I am sick of Tarantino.

Yeah, Blue Velvet, abso-frickin'-lutely. Inland Empire is certainly noirish, but it's too non-linear to be truly noir since noir is so plot-driven. I know what you mean Handy, but every time I watch Mulholland I'm just so blown away by the performances, especially Naomi Watts's. And it has some of my favorite bits of Lynchian weirdness: the cowboy, Club Silencio, the Castiglione brothers, etc. Oh and speaking of Mulholland we can't leave out its spiritual ancestor Sunset Blvd.

hiya, Nate K. and everyone!
re: Black Dahlia -- heartbreaking story, that of Elizabeth Short -- i have the paperback somewhere, whose author claims "Daddy Was the Black Dahlia Murderer" -- but i do not recall it actually solving the crime . . . i saw "True Confessions" back when it opened (1980?) -- pretty decent, and i liked the interpretation in "American Horror Story" . . . i was totally psyched for the DePalma film! but then heard how awful it was :(

most of all, though, i remain heartbroken and angry -- all these stories surrounding Ms. Short, yet she never got justice

The denouement-free story I'm thinking of was "Lost". At the end, viewers didn't even realize it was a viewer-solvable mystery. As far as I know, I'm the only one who's come even close, and then only because I'd been a friend of the show runner since he was a teen.

'Severed' was really riveting, also. I forget the author's name and whether he or his father had been on the LAPD at one point but he claims to have met Elizabeth Short when he was a child. Probably a false memory, but the picture the book paints of her is much more charming and eccentric than the version we usually see (i.e. just another desperate failed starlet).

@ kym -- i just checked, the book i have is by Janice Knowlton -- have not read Hodel's book yet -- but want to! "Severed" too -- thank-you!
  10:46pm
kym:

@slugluv: You're welcome! It's a sad but fascinating rabbit hole to slide down. Hodel's book is truly amazing; it weirdly ties into the later laurel Canyon conspiracy stuff because George Hodel's daughter tamar was at the enter of an incest case that brought Hodel Sr to the attention of the LA police force. Tamar was later the best friend and mentor of michelle Phillips.

Also bizarre that there was more than one 'My Dad Killed the Dahlia' book.

@slug: That's exactly where Hodel JR's book falls apart. He put forward a lot of compelling evidence, but then presents photos from his father's private photo album of a semi nude woman who is "obviously" Elizabeth Short. Only she so obviously is not.

Oh, and further compounding the noir connections, Hodel JR's mother is the ex-wife of John Huston. Honestly, the book is worth reading as a biography/tale of the darkest side of "Old Hollywood" even if none of the Dahlia theories are given credence.
