Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity (1944), dir. Billy Wilder
Anyone who has worked in an ER or in an ambulance, including myself has said shit like this. I LOVE that it got written down.
If you can’t joke about it, you’ll lose your fucking mind.

Phyllis Dietrichson: I think you’re rotten.
Walter Neff: I think you’re swell - so long as I’m not your husband.Tune in tomorrow night at 8pm ET/5pm PT for the ultimate film noir, Billy Wilder’s DOUBLE INDEMNITY (‘44)
“With all its deaths and defeats, noir rarely breaks your heart: fatalism and cynicism are defenses against heartbreak. But Ray’s romantic temperament was never hardened against disappointment. For a fleeting spell, we can believe that love will transform Dix and Laurel, and so it is crushing, if inevitable, when they return to the fixed orbits of their barren lives. When she recites his words (with one crucial change: ‘I lived a few weeks while you loved me’), Laurel translates them from movie poetry into what feels almost unbearably like real life.”
IN A LONELY PLACE (1950), coming soon…
One of the best and most unsettling movies I’ve ever seen.
I had to do a lot of self reflection after watching that one…
Rita Hayworth in Gilda (1946).
Tell me, what’s that sound coming out of the hole in the wood?

I saw the installation of Ever Is Over All in 2000. It is still one of the most perfect things I’ve ever seen.
