An epiphany, I has one.
Apr. 5th, 2008 10:12 amI have discovered why I like the films that I do.
Sure, its the subject matter, to a certain extent, but this totally explains why I can say with a straight face that Fight Club and Blade Runner are perhaps the best movies of all time.
And its all a matter of labels.
I'm addicted to neo-noir.
Really, reading the article says it all, but it really was a big, 'Woah!' when I looked at the list of neo-noir and realized exactly how many of the films I really, really liked. I thought it was thr grit, the dark tone, the dystopian viewpoint.
Apparently, all that has a name.
Even better, they offer college courses in this stuff!
SWEET.
