Not seen it either I'll be honest, should do you're right.I have the book (only part read) but never seen the film! Sounds worth a watch though. I should do for completist reasons as seen most other Chandler based films.

Read the first few pages... already intrigued. The guy (still on about Raymond Chandler) had something for sure. On the tiny sample I have to compare I find him much preferable to Hammet.... anyone else got an opinion on that one?
Who else? Do we got a hardboiled fiction thread? I think maybe we do...
Yes the Elkin was really great and a favourite of mine too. I'd be interested to see your list ;-)I got told to fuck off when I put my list up last year, so I won’t bother this year…
I didn’t overlap with yours @john eden except for the Elkin, which I really enjoyed.
It’s 124 books long and would take me an hour to type up.Yes the Elkin was really great and a favourite of mine too. I'd be interested to see your list ;-)
Well don’t do that, obvs.It’s 124 books long and would take me an hour to type up.
I didn't like that Lauren Elkin book. how's the dubstep one? does it break any new ground or is more or less the usual narrative about the dubstep thing?

It's mainly Georgina's excellent photos, so no new ground is broken really. I quite like that she has staked her claim for 2004-2007 though.I didn't like that Lauren Elkin book. how's the dubstep one? does it break any new ground or is more or less the usual narrative about the dubstep thing?
Best get started then.It’s 124 books long and would take me an hour to type up.
I hope that wasn't me. AFAIR I merely questioned whether that many books existed.I got told to fuck off when I put my list up last year, so I won’t bother this year…
