The layout was griping, the glide is awesome. Two ten-inch fins up, way up.

I just assume I'm right. Partially out of conviction and partially as a pose.

One difference between film noir and more straightforward crime pictures is that noir is more open to human flaws and likes to embed them in twisty plot lines.

Time is what the depressed and panicked lack.

How quickly do we grow accustomed to wonders. I am reminded of the Isaac Asimov story Nightfall, about the planet where the stars were visible only once in a thousand years. So awesome was the sight that it drove men mad. We who can see the stars every night glance up casually at the cosmos and then quickly down again, searching for a Dairy Queen.

My motto: 'No good movie is depressing. All bad movies are depressing.'

But the fact is, most people are not going to be rich someday.
