Tonight will be 'The Third Man' and 'The Big Sleep'.
Finally got to watch 'Diabolique'1 with Sidekick, uninterrupted, last night. She loved it.

Some people claim it is too late to be Noir (1955) but it is about good as it gets.
@matigo Warm with a slight bit of real butter..I could deal with that.

@matigo Warm blueberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream…Oh that sounds so good right now.

@larand Tonight. Awesome movies from my favorite genre and bourbon from my favorite distiller in my favorite crystal glass. All with my favorite person.
I am holding onto that like a drowning man does a piece of flotsam.
@matigo It's a period of time where people can relax and enjoy themselves that I, myself, have been denied ever since I took over running most of this stuff.
It is a coconut cake with blue-tinted frosting. It looks like a mutated Smurf. I am not about to consume that.

@JeremyCherfas And the plot needs to be as twisty as a mountain trail.

@larand The CEO is out of the office. The warehouse guys are out of the office. A semi pulled up and I unloaded it myself. The UPS computer automagically updated again and WorldShip will not open. The phone is ringing off the hook. Bookkeeper keeps asking, "Do you think <customer> is having problems because they are filling out their 941 improperly?" I keep answering, "Isn't answering those sorts of questions what we pay YOU for?" CEO's wife repeatedly tells me, "There's a cake in the break room if you want some".
Typical Friday.
@c Somewhat. Vienna, West Virginia's anyway. A grate ate a baseball of mine once.
@matigo That's more documentary than noir. Noir would go like this..
Try and Catch Naught
Mysterious untrapped exceptions appear at the eleventh hour. Follow project lead Sam Spicoli on a poorly lit debugging session that revisits bad decisions, worse Chinese take-out and a incompetent ex-employee named Kevin who died in a tragic hacky sack accident - Or did he?
Excerpt
Cody: "That's ridiculous, Sam. All of Kevin's modules were rewritten by a H1B. You're being too hard on yourself. Here, have a Starbucks. Take a break"
Sam: "Then why does e.message() contain, "I want my Gorillaz CD Back", Cody?
Muffled thump as Priti faints
Cody: "Priti!?"
Camera pans to Microwave Ramen cup splattered on the floor
