A slow week, but a couple of items of interest.
- New blog post: Book review (take two): In the Midst of Death by Lawrence Block (Matthew Scudder #3)
https://t.co/bUbEsC3RMP -> - Katie Orphan at CrimeReads – Searching for James M. Cain’s Los Angeles.
https://t.co/9L0iMA6GA1 -> - The Blu-ray of The Hot Rock, starring Robert Redford, is on clearance sale at Screen Archives. It’s $40 on Amazon, so for $15, it a great deal, even if shipping is exorbitant. I ordered a copy. I haven’t seen it since I was a kid who had never heard of Donald Westlake or Dortmunder. https://www1.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm/ID/35782/THE-HOT-ROCK-1972/
Off-topic
Over at my side blog, I’ve got a brief look at the awful German comedy western Manitou’s Shoe. Never heard of it? If you’re lucky, you never will again. https://trentofftopic.com/2020/03/12/movie-review-manitous-shoe-der-schuh-des-manitu-2001/
On a more substantive note, “A psychology of my music listening; or, why I’m going to write a bunch of album reviews.“
