Thanks so much for watching with us! #TheNoirCollective

The apples sticking out of the top of his grocery bag were round.
Sometimes bottoms of lampshades were turned up at us.
Sunflowers in his Van Gogh painting.
The pull tab on his roller blind.
His eyes whenever he got crazy.
Circular pattern/bathroom tiles.
Too much?

The lady he stole from wore a polka dot scarf.
His brother's glasses were pretty round.
The bar tables were round.
Doris wore round earrings, then big black buttons.
The buttons on the old cash register were round.
The bartender was wearing some kind of round pin.

The opening of every bottle/glass.
The way he left home and always circled back to it.
The spots on her coat, almost.
All the clocks he stared at.
The circular shaving mirror.
The speaker and receiver of the telephone.
The way his typewriter came back to him.

Poor TCM Party, my sleep deprivation is definitely showing tonight.

Great angles too. Love the backlit shot giving “I’m in a prison vibes”. #TheNoirCollective

I did it again! When I type by hand in a hurry the wrong hashtag comes out!
Sorry #TCMParty! #TheNoirCollective

You are so eloquent my friend, it's a gift! I'm glad you felt like you could share it all! I feel very fortunate to have been here to catch it all as it trickled down like pixie dust! ✨

Thank you for your incredibly kind words. It was so much fun to lay out this “forgotten chapter” of noir history. As you say, it’s amazing how certain typos and misreadings can get perpetuated and magnified over time. It was fun to “set the record straight” – even just a bit. 😊 #TheNoirCollective

Yes, lots of these kinds of shots, especially later when he gets to the hospital ward. In those scenes it is done more with lighting, as the imagery becomes more abstract to reflect Don's shaky state-of-mind. #TheNoirCollective

You’re awfully kind, Patrick. This was a pleasure for me and CT to work on – but man, there is so much to “dig into,” we both had to keep editing ourselves – and each other. 😅 “Master class” is about the nicest thing you could possibly say. Thank you! #TheNoirCollective

Even though I didn't watch, thanks to @tommykrasker.bsky.social and @ctmillion.bsky.social for hosting and for film noir school🙌🏻

Absolutely masterful! #TheNoirCollective

Oh my gosh, that’s a riot. I was going to go into Serie Noire, but I feared I would be talking for another hour. 😅😅 #TheNoirCollective
