A little while back, I sent you to a video from Alan Berry at The Tape Archive built around Quentin Tarantino’s discussion of Point Blank and The Outfit in the book Cinema Speculation. It was excellent and you should watch it if you haven’t.

Greetings, all!
This site started out as a list of books on Geocities. It has evolved and grown, year after year (or most years, anyway), and eventually, for blog fodder and my own amusement, I started adding reviews and some coverage of crime fiction and film beyond things directly related to Parker or Donald […]
