IceMav Landmarks
For the curious, here’s a few real-world points of interest with regards to the Shooting Star series:  
Ice and Mav’s first little house that they buy in “The Night Road” is located just to the west of Oxnard College in Oxnard, CA.  There is no specific neighborhood to pinpoint.  It’s within a quarter-mile of the college, with a natural foods co-op market within a mile west or southwest of it.  
Their second house is located in Simi Valley, in a relatively new and actually quite wealthy subdivision.  It’s within 2 miles of the Simi Dog Park, so that when Mav goes out for his daily run he runs to the dog park and back for the full 4 miles as he intends to do in “Hiding and Hunted”.  Ice and Mav mostly designed the new house (with the help of an architect) and had it built in 2018, so it’s still very new.  
Sarah’s psychotherapy practice is in Pasadena, CA.  Look up the Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, CA and the picture that comes up on Google Maps is the model I had for her office as used in “The Devil You Know”.  
NAS Point Mugu and Point Mugu State Park are as in the real world, though of course with my own inventions as to their layouts and contents.  They’re quite a ways west of the city, on the coast.  Oxnard is north and west of the base so it’s an easy drive in to work for Ice and Mav, and not too much longer later once they build the Simi Valley house.  
Slider went home to New York after he left the Navy but once Avex Aeronautics became a real going concern they relocated their operations to Phoenix, AZ and he relocated there himself.  I don’t have a specific location for where he lives though, but I imagine it’s near Sky Ranch at Carefree in the northeast part of the city where he keeps the little red jet.  When he comes up to see Ice and Mav he flies out of there and lands at Camarillo Airport which is near their Simi Valley house.
Sayyad, Kholm, the AH-76 and FOB Robatak in "The Night Road” are real places, as is the narrow valley where Mav was shot down.  Look up Sayyad, Afghanistan and you’ll see the AH-76, then just west of that you’ll see the mountains that constitute the narrow valley.  The south end of those mountains are the narrow part where Mav flies sideways on one wingtip, and what told Ice he’d been bored with the patrol pattern and was playing when he was shot down.  The place where Mav was found by Bowcott and his squad is Saighanchi between Sayyad and Kholm.  I used the pictures on that entry quite a lot as to what the terrain was like in the area, the caves, etc.
Dryden Flight Research Center is a real place, though these days it’s been renamed to NASA Neil A. Armstrong Flight Research Center.  If you look it up on Google Maps and switch to the terrain view, look at the dry lake bed to the east of the center.  They’ve got a very convenient compass and several landing strips carved into the dry lake bed.  Almost directly east from the center, at the edge of the lake bed, you’ll see a small mountain with no name that looks like it’s been split down the middle from east to west.  This is Turnaround Hill, where Slider and Sarah went to watch Mav on his Mach 10 flight in “The Shooting Star” and where the disturbance and Alan appeared in “Windfall”.  
Hope you enjoy!

Hey I figured I should do a lil about me type thing. Plz don't judge too harshly again this is my actual life. So anyway here we go! 😵‍💫
@all-things-ghostly thx for this idea
I was born in 2004 in Newport Beach and grew up in sunny southern California, specifically one city over from Anaheim. And yes, I went to Disneyland, quite often actually. I'd say I went maybe 2-3 times a month or if it was around the holidays or a special event it was every weekend if I could. So, needless to say, I know Disneyland pretty well. Unfortunately, I had to move out of California in 2017, but that's a story for another day.
I was, for a long time, afraid of the mansion, surprisingly enough. The only thing I was afraid of was the pop up ghosts so everytime I passed the gate to the graveyard I'd close my eyes until the ghost host said his line "Ah there you are." and I knew I was safe. That was until a friend of mine who was a few years older than me took me through it and pointed out which graves had pop ups and when they usually spring up. I wanna say that I was around 5 or 6 when this happened. O also I remember the beating heart bride before Constance kicked her out lmao. I remember not being afraid of her because she just kinda chilled out there, she was super pretty according to mini me. My parents r super mega Disney fans and we used to go to an actual Disney club in CA and I remember it was a big announcement at our monthly meeting that a new ghost was taking over the attic and it was super exciting. I also remember when they announced they were installing Hattie into the mansion again and it was super cool to me since I already knew the history of the figure.
Anyway enough about the mansion (for now). For a long time my favorite attraction in the park was Splash Mountain. Yes I understand everything now but back when they were taking it out I had no idea about song of the south and the underlying story of it all. Now that I understand tho, I can say that it was super problematic and really shouldn't have been there. I really just thought it was about cute fluffy animals singing about a rabbit escaping death and u get wet. I mostly liked it because it had a single rider line and it was nice to ride alone on a hot day.
I'd say Indiana Jones was my 2nd favorite, even tho their single rider was kinda on and off sometimes, and I didn't come around to actually riding it for fear of the mummies that come out at you, that big projection of kali that appears on the cieling in the skull room, and the giant snake, until I was 6 or 7. I say 6 or 7 because again that same friend helped me through it. But after I got through it with my eyes open I loved it.
Ok enough of park rambling because I could probably talk about the parks until I die and I still wouldn't be finished talking. So I moved away from Cali sadly and I had to part with the park and characters I so loved. I wouldn't say I forgot about my love for these characters but I would say it faded, a lot actually. So let's talk recent, like early July 2023. I forgot what movie I was watching but I remember seeing a certain trailer before the movie that hit me over the head with a comically sized cartoon hammer. I remember seeing the purple wallpaper and I got real confused because I didn't hear /anything/ about there being another HM movie much less a scary one. Like this trailer made me so incredibly happy I cannot even tell u. When I saw that jerky constance in the corner shot I damn near cried. I was finally getting a more scary Haunted Mansion movie WITH ACTUAL HAUNTED MANSION CHARACTERS. Ya that went on the calendar real quick. Then I saw it in theaters and o my god was that THE hatbox ghost?? O my god??? They put him in here! O... o no... he's... he's evil... and he's so sassy and stupid... And then I fell. I not only fell for Alistair but I also fell back in love with characters and places I hadn't been since I was 13. And that love that had faded from being away for so long grew vibrant and close again. Ok quit it with the gushy mushy shit, me. Anyway so I really loved this movie and I had a Tumblr account at the time. I mean I wasn't posting anything but I had it to look into cool niche Fandoms. So I did just that. I didn't expect like anything but I was overjoyed to see so many people loving characters that I feel don't get enough of it.
And the rest, as they say, is history.

I wish I wasn't so tired.
Not just from being chronically ill, but from living in the capitalist hellscape that is the United States.
Taking the time to be informed on the issues comes at the cost of knowing how well and truly fucked things are, but believing the newscasters is a folly that I'm too jaded to fall victim to. There is nothing I wish for *more* than for their assertions that Covid is going away to be true, but I've had Covid 3 times while living in a red state, and have had someone **SPIT AT ME** for wearing a mask. I just want my booster shot so I don't die and for my partners to be able to work from home.
I am *filled* with fury and righteous indignation, at the constant egregious corruption that permeates every aspect of American culture. Parking lots? Gun laws? Minimum wage? Acceptable allowances of random shit in your food? All the laws meant to protect us from corporate exploitation have been whittled away by decades of corporate lobbyists and dark money groups bribing politicians with campaign donations. At the state level, Georgia is a nightmare of gerrymandered districts, and at the federal level, we have fascist plastics like Marjorie Taylor Green representing us. I see my liberal friends from the north joke about "Just give up on the south, they'll never change" and it makes me want to SCREAM because *that's what the Republicans want!!* They *want* the liberal residents of their state to give up on trying to improve things so that they can continue lining their pockets with taxpayer money.
Watching the strikes gives me a lot of hope, but as a disabled veteran, I will not benefit directly from any of it unless I go back to work in the private sector. I want them to do well, but I can't afford to help anyone outside my own household in any meaningful way, and it makes me feel hollow and useless. I *want* to help every GFM or Ca$happ request, but if I were to try, I would just end up requiring assistance myself.
I want to help. I want to write petitions, and stand at the podium, calling for the removal of corrupt politicians from office, I WANT my local government to figure out how to fund the schools without taking money from oil and big gas, I want the mayor to root out the corrupt officials who chose to uphold the city's red-lining, making the wealth and race gap so steep.
I want to.
I'm just tired. So, so, *SO* tired.

So you want to road trip the US West Coast
@baasthasthezoomies had sent me an ask (that tumblr appears to have eaten) about must-see west coast (best coast) sights, and I'm finally getting around to jotting some things down. Mostly because I'm also about to do a drive up the coast back home. (So I'm starting from the south.)
I'm from SoCal, so I'm kinda meh about SD and LA. But I do recommend the Maritime Museum of San Diego downtown on the waterfront, where I got my start in boats. Aside from that, it's just a really cool museum. It has no land facilities, the entirety of the museum is made up of boats. Including the oldest active sailing ship, Star of India. She was launched in 1863 and just went sailing under her own power again last week!
Downtown SD is not really worth anything, in my opinion. Balboa Park is nice, but if you want a zoo experience hit up the Safari Park in north county over the San Diego Zoo. Hillcrest is the gayborhood. I don't have any specific recommendations for there, though.
Avoid LA at all costs, but you can't, because you have to drive through it to get north. Driving around it is sort of an option, and the desert is pretty, but then it's a pain to get back over to the coast, and driving I-5 all the way up CA is hell.
Take highway 1 (or 101, they become the same thing every so often) as much as you can up the coast. Sometimes sections are closed due to landslides or erosion, but there's usually decent warning. If concerned, you can check online for road closures. It's very twisty and on the edge of cliffs, which is what makes it fun! People drive way too fast on it and then get mad when you go slow enough not to drive off a cliff. It's ok. Eventually there are turnouts or passing lanes and the assholes can go around you and drive off the cliff. Keep an eye out for motorcycles and cyclists. Half the time it's socked in with fog and you can't see anything. Also part of the charm.
Once you're out of LA, it's a gorgeous coastal drive with lots of scenic turnouts. Near Point Conception (the Cape Horn of the west coast, according to Richard Henry Dana Jr.) is Solvang, a wacky little old-timey Danish village. I drove through on my way down for the first time and it is very strange and rather touristy, but kinda cute and interesting.
Morro Bay is cool. There's a big rock. Also sea otters!
Near San Simeon there's an elephant seal viewpoint. Those guys are always fun to watch. There's also Hearst Castle, which I've never done more than walk inside and then turn around when I read the cost of a tour.
Big Sur is beautiful and there are redwoods, but save your redwood exploring for farther north.
Monterey has the famous aquarium with the best social media in the world! It's also just a really good aquarium.
At Moss Landing you can see more sea otters!
If you want to duck in to San Jose, the Winchester House is actually really cool and worth a tour, whether you're into ghosts or not.
On the coast before you get to San Francisco, are two really sweet lighthouse hostels, Pigeon Point and Point Montara. I think I've stayed in both, but it's been a while, now that I have friends in the city I stay with. But they're fantastic little places, both I think have private rooms as well as shared dorms, and reasonably priced for the area.
On the note of places to stay, there are tons of little inns along the coast that are all decent. Prices skyrocket on weekends, though, so watch out.
What can I say about the Bay Area that hasn't already been said? Not much. You can do the touristy things, or not. There are so many different ways to explore The City. My nostalgia from being there on a boat leads me to Jack London Square, in Oakland, where you can go to Heinold's First and Last Chance Saloon, which is an adorable bar that has somehow survived the ages, though half of it seems to be sinking into the ground. SF also has a fantastic Maritime Museum that's also a national park (so a park pass will get you in)!
Further up from The Bay, we're finally in proper redwood country. I highly recommend all of the redwood state and national parks you can find. These trees are truly awe-inspiring. Definitely take the Avenue of the Giants and/or Newton B Drury Scenic Pkwy, both of which parallel the 101 through a grove of redwoods with lots of turnouts and places to stop and explore.
And on to Oregon! It's another beautiful coastal drive. The sand dunes can be fun, too! I lied, definitely check out the Tillamook creamery museum, there are cheese samples, the best gift shop ever, and food and ice cream. I always spend entirely too much money there.
Once you get to the Columbia River, there's Fort Steven's State Park, which I enjoyed driving around on weekends when I was taking licensing classes in Astoria. Astoria itself is a lovely little town that I can totally see myself living in. Lots of little thrift and antique shops, a maritime museum, and The Goonies house. Do NOT go to the Goonies house, though, they do not like it!
And finally, my new home state of Washington! I do tend to drive to and from Astoria as fast as possible, so my knowledge of the coast is probably lacking.
You go through Aberdeen on the 101 and it's... not worth anything. I live there, but there's nothing but fast food and wal-mart. Keep going up the coast, though, and the drive around the Olympic Peninsula is gorgeous. Check out the Hoh Rainforest.
Forks really leans into their Twilight fame, but that's kinda all they've got going on.
Drive through Beaver and Sappho and chuckle.
Neah Bay and Cape Flattery are in the Makah Reservation, and the last few times I drove around they were closed because of covid. Not sure if that's still the case, but I've seen Cape Flattery (finally--usually it's foggy or we go by at night) from the water and it would be cool to see by land.
From Port Angeles you can get into the Olympic National Park and up to Hurricane Ridge which is just the most incredible view.
Port Townsend is another fun little town that I've spent a lot of time in because it's where the boat hauls out. Just a really fun town if you like boats. Great places to eat, too, the Hudson Point Cafe and Tommyknockers are at the top of my list.
And then, hell, there's the entirety of the Puget Sound, which I've spent so much time in, I don't know what to recommend. Most of the ports we love are because they have good showers...
I'm not a big fan of Seattle, because I don't really like big cities, but weirdly I do like Tacoma. Go figure. Proctor and Old Town are my favorite neighborhoods.
I recommend taking a state ferry anywhere, they're just fun and part of the experience. The San Juan Islands are always popular.
The Price Sculpture Forest on Whidbey Island is a really cool sculpture garden and hiking trail.
Of course, Mount Rainier Tahoma is always worthwhile.
Phew. I think that's all I've got. Hope this is helpful to anyone seeing this beautiful coast! I am actually overwhelmed by the Puget Sound, so if anyone has specific questions, I'm happy to answer. I've only lived here three years now, and most of what I know what I've seen from the boat.

Morro Rock Ecological Preserve, CA (No. 8)
With an oceanfront parking lot located directly under the shadow of awe-inspiring Morro Rock, this popular surf spot is as close to the rock as it gets. Although technically part of Morro Strand, this beach is often referred to as Morro Rock Beach by locals and travelers alike, for reasons that will become obvious the moment you arrive. Easily stroll the base of Morro Rock, keeping an eye out for seabirds (fun fact: the rock is the last of “the nine sisters,” or volcanic mountains that run from the Central Coast to Southern California). Today, Morro Rock is a historic landmark and bird sanctuary home to Peregrine Falcons, Seagulls and all manner of waterfowl which thrive along the rocky landscape. Surfers, picnickers, kite-flyers and sunbathers flock to the beach located just north of the rock, while the south side—protected by the harbor—is popular among kayakers and fishing enthusiasts. Planning on staying in San Simeon or Cambria, two popular Central Coast kayaking destinations in their own right? We encourage you to bring your kayak south to Morro Bay for a unique experience unlike what you’ve already enjoyed. While you might see whales and elephant seals to the north on Highway 1, Morro Bay features its own menagerie of critters, including friendly harbor seals and a year-round otter population that can be observed regularly snacking, napping, and communing among Morro Bay’s plentiful kelp beds.
Similarly, surfers staying in Cayucos love the close proximity to Morro Rock—known as one of the most popular surf spots on the Central Coast. Why not rent a board and catch a few iconic waves for yourself? Depending on the swell, you can also paddle across the harbor side to Sand Spit beach (also accessible from the Los Osos side). Large waves are common here, so it’s important to watch kids while they play in the water (lifeguards are staffed from Memorial Day Labor Day from 10am-6pm). Please note that dogs must be on-leash in this area, but they are welcome to roam freely at the Morro Bay Dog Beach, which stretches six miles north to dog-friendly town Cayucos. With its vast, sandy beach and views of Morro Rock in the distance, you’ll enjoy the walk just as much as your pup. Lastly, parking at Morro Rock Beach is a breeze: just take your pick of spots in this massive parking lot with bathrooms and outdoor showers to clean off sandy toes. Plus, parking wraps south of the rock, providing even more convenience for busy days (you’ll enjoy even greater views of the rock, local wildlife, and glittering back bay as you park the car). That’s a true win-win!

His fist raised, but something in Sam’s eyes changed. Dean could barely see through his blood-filled, blurry vision, but Sam’s fist fell and he jumped away. Dean watched in slow motion a giant hole opening, Sam and Adam falling. It was mere seconds, but for Dean it took hours. 
Cas back to heaven, Bobby back home in South Dakota, and Dean alone. Bobby offered for him to stay, but he couldn’t. He could barely sit in the impala with how it reminded him of his brother, but the thought of remaining stationary made his skin itch and crawl. Sam, a constant pulse in his brain on repeat no matter where he was. Diners, motel rooms, laundromats.
Dean went so far as to drive to Colorado and camped in the Rocky Mountain National Park. The first night, he did sleep, but the next night that was chalked up to how exhausted he was. The third night, Dean could only think about the last time he and Sam had gone camping. The ground digging into his knees, even with a mattress pad laid out in their tent, Sam’s breathy moans, the feel of his cock buried in his brother’s ass, the sight of Sam’s sinewy back arching under his touch. It was a strange comfort.
Dean felt empty, hollow, and startlingly alone when he opened his eyes the next morning. He grabbed a backpack of supplies and began up a hiking path that followed along a burbling stream of crystal clear water. Dean stopped and squatted down to look into the stream, appreciating the soothing sound that was drowning out the constant barrage of Sam his brain kept throwing at him. 
Voices, real voices, distracted him. He looked up the trail and saw two females making their way toward him, the brown-haired female talking animatedly about the gorgeous view from the outlook they were hiking down from. A tan and green plaid scarf hung loosely around her neck and Dean was reminded painfully of the color of Sam’s eyes. 
“Got a problem, dude?!” 
Dean had been staring unknowingly, mind lost in the soft hazel of Sam’s loving eyes the last night they’d spent together in bed. He held up his hands in an apologetic gesture and said, “sorry… Sorry, I just spaced out.” 
He quickly stood up and started up the path again as the blonde made a disgusted scoff. He felt embarrassed, but his mind quickly swept up his thoughts into memories that immersed him deeply into the understanding of how lost and isolated he felt. The last time was when his dad had disappeared and Sam was at college. Dean wasn’t sure how long he walked the path, but the sun was directly overhead when he came across the outlook point the woman had been talking about. It was a large open space, overlooking a vast portion of the national park. 
He walked right up to the guard rail and scanned the expansive forest and mountains. A wide river flowed through the valley below, cutting a path as far as he could see. The view truly was breathtakingly beautiful. It’d be so easy to just step over the guard rail and fall, just as Sam had fallen. The view was almost as beautiful as Sam, it would be a great last view of the world. Dean took a quick step back, bewildered at the intrusive thought. The feeling of emptiness would be gone, though. He wouldn’t have to be alone, make decisions, or deal with the overwhelming grief that was swallowing him whole. 
What was he without Sam anyway? Sam; brainy, creative, selfless, and clever. What was he? Quick-tempered, borderline alcoholic, impulsive with a knack for getting himself nearly killed. A follower that was completely paralyzed, unable to make a move without someone shouting directions and guiding him. 
Dean stepped back up to the rail and leaned as far as he could, hands braced on the rail, looking curiously over the side of the cliff. It was easily a two hundred foot drop to the trees below if not more. He had a white-knucked grip on the guard rail and his heart started pounding erratically at the mere thought of a free fall. The instinct of survival warred with grief and depression, thoughts bouncing back and forth, pros and cons, like a game of ping pong. Grief was winning, chanting Sam and alone and worthless. 
“I’m sorry, Sammy,” Dean choked, tears springing to his eyes. He wiped a hand across his face and continued, “you busted your ass, you lost everything, everyone... And your reward? Getting killed... On my watch. If I... It was on me. I should have done more, found another way… It should have been me, and... And there's nothing I can do to make that right. I am so sorry."
He looked down at his hands, still gripping the guard rail. A tear dripped from his cheek and splashed on his knuckle. He took his backpack off and set it down on the ground, then cautiously, carefully, he stepped over the rail, turning so his hands were still gripping it. The space between it and the cliff edge was so small that over half of Dean’s boots were hanging off. He was still staring at his hands; all he had to do was let go of the railing. Let go, and be free. 
“Wait! Stop!”
Dean jerked his head up, a park ranger was sprinting toward him. He released his grip, pushing away from the rail. He briefly saw the park ranger still running toward him, mouth moving like he was still yelling, but the only sound he could hear was the blood rushing through his veins; like when he held seashells against his ear on the beach. His heart was beating faster than it ever had before, like it was trying to get as many beats in as it could before it died and Dean stared up into the sun-filled sky as his stomach seemed to plummet faster than his body. He felt strangely euphoric, though, with the amount of adrenaline-powered fear coursing through his body. He closed his eyes.The last thought that crossed his mind was to wonder if this had been what Sam felt. 
“You irritate me, you know that?” 
Dean snapped his eyes open, disoriented, and looked around. He was sitting at a table in a small diner across from Death, who was taking a bite of a burger. Dean looked down at the table and saw there was a burger and fries in front of him too. 
“Eat.”
It wasn’t a request. Dean picked up the burger and took a bite. The taste was familiar, a long distant memory that he couldn’t quite pull to the surface. His stomach churned uncomfortably and he set the burger down, forcing himself to swallow. 
“Y-You’re here to reap me?” Dean asked, breaking the tense silence. 
“No.”
Dean was taken aback, his mouth opened and closed, trying to form a coherent sentence. 
“Stop that. You look like a fish out of water. It’s unbecoming of you, Dean.”  
Dean snapped his mouth shut, but threw Death a petulant glare in return. He watched Death eat the rest of his burger in silence, unsure of what to say or do. 
“I told you to let your brother fall into that fiery pit.” It was a statement of fact that didn’t make Dean feel any need to open his mouth; he waited for Death to continue. “The one time I decide to do you a favor, trust that you’ll fulfill destiny, you go and try to kill yourself.”
“Give me a break!” Dean snapped angrily. “I spent my whole life fighting that crap. There's no such thing as destiny. Just like-” 
Dean’s voice died in his throat as Death raised his eyes to Dean’s and widened them as though daring him to finish his sentence.
“Not hungry?” He asked. Dean shook his head, staring at the tabletop. “You have so much fun wrecking the natural order. I wonder if you would change if you were the one who had to clean up the mess.”
Dean glanced up, but looked away from Death quickly.
“You and your brother,” Dean looked back up to Death who was speaking in a slow, dangerous tone, “are an affront to the balance of the universe and you cause disruption on a global scale,” Death hissed the last few words, eyes flashing in anger; Dean recoiled slightly, eyes wide.
“I…Apologize for that,” he whispered in a fear-filled voice.
“I need you to continue to do what it is you do, so I’m going to do you a favor to keep you from making another half-cocked decision that’ll damn the universe.” 
Death stood.
“I always thought I was insignificant to you,” Dean blurted out before he could clap a hand across his mouth. 
A mirthless smirk flashed across Death’s face, “Well. Guess you learned something today. It’s about the souls, Dean. You’ll understand when you need to. Now, I’m going to do you ***one more favor. Try not to squander this one.” 
Death touched his ring with the opposite hand and Dean suddenly toppled over on the ground. He scrambled to his feet, head whipping around. He was about thirty feet from the outlook point he’d thrown himself off of. The park ranger was still leaning over the railing, his back to Dean. 
His heart was thudding almost painfully in his chest and Dean felt an ominous sense of foreboding from Death’s words. He scowled to himself, he truly didn't have a decision that was his, solely his; free will really didn't exist for him. Had it ever? Probably not, but to have it so blaringly thrown in his face stung. 
The park ranger turned around, speaking into his radio asking for backup. They looked up at each other at the same time; Dean’s eyes widened in realization and the ranger shrieked. 
“You! You just-” he gestured frantically at the railing. “HOW?!” 
He walked forward purposefully and the park ranger moved away from him in fear. Dean grabbed his backpack from beside the railing and slung it over his shoulder. Then he looked at the ranger, seeing fear and confusion on his face. 
“Apparently it’s not my choice and it’s not my time to die,” he deadpanned. 
Then he turned and sprinted as fast as he could back down the trail. No one would ever believe the park ranger, he reasoned. Normal people didn’t magically appear out of thin air. Dean had accepted that he wasn’t normal a long time ago. 
He threw his camping gear into the impala as fast as he could, not wanting to run into the park ranger again. Tearing out of the park as fast as he could, Dean couldn’t think of where to go, so he decided to drive south until he decided; if he decided, he corrected himself.

ASK EDDIE returns Thursday, April 6, 7:00 PM PT to our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/filmnoirfoundation/live
FNF prez Eddie Muller responds to film noir fan questions fielded by the Foundation's Director of Communications Anne Hockens. In this episode, we discuss the selection process for the Oscar’s “In Memoriam” presentation, season two of Perry Mason, Park Chan-wook’s Decision to Leave, the impact of the studio system’s treatment of talent on film noirs, “transitional” film noir and more. We wind things up answering two possibly divisive questions, who is the toughest male protagonist in noir and what is the best film noir. On the cat front, Emily and Charlotte are background players.
Want your question answered in a future episode? We solicit questions from our email subscribers in our monthly newsletters. Sign up for free at https://www.filmnoirfoundation.org/signup.html
Everyone who signs up on our email list and contributes $20 or more to the Film Noir Foundation receives the digital version of NOIR CITY Magazine for a year. Donate here: https://www.filmnoirfoundation.org/contribute.html
This week’s questions:
1.       What do you think of the methodology used by the Academy to determine inclusions for the In Memoriam during the Oscars' broadcast, and is it possible to submit names for inclusion? Pete from sunny Sydney, Australia.
2.       Given how hard it was to find the elements to restore Detour, what are the odds of rescuing films from a now defunct independent movie company?
Michael Johnson, Post Falls, Idaho
3.       We thought "El vampiro negro" was great. About a half hour into it, we spotted a brief shot of Chicago (the Wrigley Building, the Michigan Ave. Bridge, two buses with "Chicago" on the sides, and a Schlitz sign!).  Do you know what happened?
Donna and David, in Chicago
4.       Just looking for your thoughts on season two of “Perry Mason” on HBO.  
Kathy
5.       Have you seen “Decision to Leave”, South Korean director Park Chan-wook's acclaimed new neo-noir? Kathleen from Chicago
6.       In your book “Dark City”, you link the Hollywood studio system to the rise and flourishing of film noir in the 40s.  Of course, the films were produced out of that system, but I think you are claiming more, that the moods and substance of noir films were (in part) generated out of the studio system and how it treated actors, directors, writers, and others. Could you say more about that?
Mike
7.       Can you recommend other film noir movies that are shot on location? If there aren’t that many film noirs shot on location, you can recommend non-noir but from the same time-era (1930-1960s).
Iisakki, Finland
8.       Are there any female-led detective noirs from the classic noir period (think “The Maltese Falcon” or “Murder, My Sweet” but with a female detective)? What about after the classic noir period? Ryan from Studio City adjacent (aka Valley Village, CA)
9.       I have a two-part question about Gloria Grahame:
What did you think of her Oscar winning performance in "The Bad and the Beautiful"? And, Eddie, are you happy or sad that you watched the Gloria Grahame performance you said you were "saving" to watch in "Man on a Tightrope"?
Marjorie from the poor part of Connecticut
10.   The femmes fatale are constantly discussed and are the proper focus of the genre. What I’d like to know is how Ann Shirley got from P.E.I. to Bay City?  How did the spunky orphan from Green Gables wind up on the west coast, being raised by a policeman? How did she find her way into LA journalism and falling in with Philip Marlowe?
Eric
11.   Do you think there is such thing as transitional film noir? Or do you think anything from 1960 onwards is simply neo-noir?
Brett Lambert, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
12.   What did you think of gene hackman in remake of “The Narrow Margin?”   
Alan, San Anselmo, Ca. 
13.   Eddie, you’ve mentioned that you’ve watched films several times. Is there, in your or Anne’s opinion, an optimal number of times a film should be watched to truly appreciate its many facets?  
Your Henchman contributor, TB, Costa Mesa, CA
14.   Simple question:  in your opinion, who is the toughest male protagonist in the history of classic American film noir? My definition of toughness would be a character who is not intimidated by anybody, so my nominee would be Jeff Bailey from “Out of the Past”.
Joe, Hermosa Beach, CA
15.   What is the best film noir? This is a difficult question to answer, as there are many great film noirs that could be considered the best. Some of the most highly acclaimed films in this genre include “The Maltese Falcon” (1941), “Double Indemnity” (1944), “Out of the Past” (1947), and “Touch of Evil” (1958).
Brian from Toronto

Tag 41. 13.08.2023
Jukjeon. Heute standen wir früh auf, um an einem Gottesdienst in Bundang teilzunehmen. Die Fahrt von Myeongdong über den Han-Fluss in den Süden lief reibungslos, sodass wir Zeit für einen Halt im Starbucks hatten, wo wir mit Kaffein auftankten. Die Kirche (할렐루야교회) war beeindruckend, pompös auf einem Berg errichtet mit einer Tiefparkgarage mit 3 Etagen, Live-streaming der Predigt und eigener Küche, die Teller rauspumpten wie eine Krankenhausmensa. Zudem waren wir die einzigen Ausländer weit und breit. Bewunderung pur.
Nach einer verlängerten Mittagspause fuhren wir in ein Volksdorf (한국민속촌) i.d.N.v. Bungnam. Zwar heute eine Touristenattraktion, früher spielte sich jedoch im Volksdorf ein ganz anderes Leben ab. Wir staunten über ein Amphitheater, ein hölzernes Adelhaus und ein eigenes Dorf-Gefängnis. Wir aßen Haemuljeon (koreanischer Reibekuchen mit Meeresfrüchten), Gamja-jeon (koreanischer Kartoffelpuffer) und tranken Reiswein, der genießbar war. Im Nachgang schauten wir uns einen lebhaften Tanzauftritt an und liefen in verschiedenste Höfe rein, um an Dorfaktivitäten teilzunehmen. Da der Typhoon inzwischen China und Taiwan ärgerte hatten wir wieder schwüles Wetter. Kurzum, wir schwitzten wie Sau.
Im Anschluss fuhren wir nach Jukjeon (죽전), wo wir Shaved Ice (geraspeltes Eis) bestellten, einmal mit Mango (애플망고치즈빙수) und einmal mit roten Bohnen (인절미팥빙수). In umgekehrter Reihenfolge ging’s dann zum Abendessen, wieder Korean BBQ (Gegrilltes), dieses Mal jedoch auf Jeju-Art. Für alle Geografieliebhaber, Jeju Insel ist eine Urlauberinsel südlich vom koreanischen Festland und westlich von Fukuoka. Wir probierten drei Schweinefleischvarianten: koreanischen Speck (ca. 5cm dick), Schweinehaut und eine Tofu-Schweinefleisch Suppe. Die erste Variante gefiel Webster am besten mit Gojujang. Wir liefen dann durch Jukjeon, eine junges und lebhaftes Studentenviertel mit vielen Cafés und Klamottenläden. Auf der Rückfahrt nach Seoul hielten wir am Han-Fluss Ufer, um uns Gangnam und Seoul von einer anderen Perspektive anzuschauen.
Morgen ist ein voller Tag angesagt, wir freuen uns und lassen euch natürlich wieder teilhaben. Gute Nacht!
Day 41. August 13, 2023
Jukjeon. Today we got up early to attend a church service in Bundang. The journey from Myeongdong over the Han River to the south went smoothly, so we had time for a stop at Starbucks to top up on caffeine. The church (할렐루야교회) was impressive, grandly built on a mountain with a three-story underground parking garage, live-streaming of the sermon, and its own kitchen that pumped out dishes like a hospital cafeteria. Furthermore, we were the only foreigners far and wide.
After an extended lunch break, we drove to a folk village (한국민속촌) in the vicinity of Bungnam. While now a tourist attraction, the folk village used to be a completely different world in the past. We marveled at an amphitheater, a wooden nobleman's house, and a village prison. We enjoyed Haemuljeon (Korean seafood pancake), Gamja-jeon (Korean potato pancake), and drank rice wine that was enjoyable. Afterwards, we watched a lively dance performance and participated in village activities in various courtyards. As the typhoon was bothering China and Taiwan by now, we had humid weather again. In short, we sweated like crazy.
Next, we headed to Jukjeon (죽전), where we ordered Shaved Ice, once with Mango (애플망고치즈빙수) and once with red beans (인절미팥빙수). We then went for dinner, again Korean BBQ, but this time Jeju style. For all geography enthusiasts, Jeju Island is a vacation island south of the Korean mainland and west of Fukuoka. We tried three pork variations: Korean bacon (about 5cm thick), pork skin, and a tofu-pork soup. Webster liked the first variation the best with Gojujang. We then walked through Jukjeon, a young and vibrant student neighborhood with many cafes and thrift stores. On the way back to Seoul, we stopped by the Han River bank to see Gangnam and Seoul from a different perspective.
Tomorrow promises to be a busy day, and we're looking forward to it. We’ll of course keep you posted. Good night!

Alright let’s get some fucking shit correct here @ashelyskies
Tumblr media
a) I didn’t say K/din’s case wasn’t problematic, you fucking jackass. I did say that K/din’s case was 8 (EIGHT) fucking years ago with more of a case of ignorant views vs. bigotry. Which my sentiment is backed up by her response to one of the parties where she herself states not holding present people to the guillotine for their past shit. Anyway setting that aside: That whole thing was apologized for by one of the parties involved in it before anything was mentioned to the public (so wasn’t for brownie points) w/ said apology being accepted by her with a statement about not going after people for their past (cause really want to make sure this part gets across); yet this was still brought up and said party was still thrown to the damn wolves regardless of them doing every damn thing right. Mostly because this part wasn’t part of the initial post and was only brought up in said reply to the other party.
Now this ignorance issue is something that can be applied to multiple people, especially with ones raised in certain areas and in a pre-LGBT+ mainstreaming era where someone doesn’t fucking know better. Someone 9 years prior uses a slur, then as they get older realize how bad it is and is horrified at using it in the past. Do I categorize that person as bigoted? No I don’t. Now take that person and have them in present continuing to use the term with full knowledge of its offensive nature? Yeah, that person is a bigot. Though this distinction eludes outrage culture types (usually of the far-left variety) that think the person deserves to be considered a bigot regardless of growth or change. You grew up in a place that was forward thinking and/or in more modern times? Good for your ass, not everyone fucking got that (this will be elaborated on further down).
b) The medical side of things: corps dodge any expense they fucking can and that has nothing to do with LGBT+ status. They’re just shitty and cheap. There’s nothing I’ve seen that goes towards it being at all tied to trans status. That’s not defending RT, its seeing them as what they are a corp; hell it doesn’t even paint them in a particularly good light cause still shitty.
c) Mi/ca presented a case where she walked in to see a white board with a slur on it, as if that was just a thing at RT and/or was meant for her to see it. The full context however: People were doing a damn South Park reference, the slur wasn’t fully there as per the reference, and it wasn’t meant to be seen by anyone but them. If anything it fits the idea of two 20-something idiot SP fans  latching onto distasteful SP “jokes”. Still shitty, but context puts more onus on SP that is being referenced and the parties being idiotic 20-somethings. NOT an intentional racist attack on Mi/ca and/or other PoC that’d come across it. It was also from years ago (a recurring theme), considering that episode of SP was from 2007 (yes I googled it) on top of that. It’s called being a dumbass 20-something fan that watched a show that leans on edgy distasteful “humor”. Not only does it only go towards what RT/AH was, “dudebro edgy humor”, but doesn’t reflect current RT/AH attitudes.
Now for anyone that follows me and wants anything to do with this person? Do whatever the fuck you want, I don’t care and I’m not your parent. I’m someone that grew up in a southern state that has experience with let’s say complicated/ nuanced views as a result of it. I used to watch South Park and know the mindset of a 20-something year old in regards to it. Also while I’ve never used certain slurs, I have in my ignorance used the G slur till I ran across information that corrected how to refer to Romani cause the G slur is the only word ever used in reference to them. I have used the r word and honestly still have to fight my own ingrained response towards it, when heated; because it was something that I grew up with and had to learn to not resort to. People are not fucking born perfect or even taught how to be perfect, there’s a growth period and an intent element. Which is exactly what my point is. I’m an LGBT+ center-leftist that grew up surrounded by the right wing ignorant people including friends and family. I’ve seen some evolve from as the times have as well as their ignorance being removed who deserve to be allowed to not be called fucking bigots for past bullshit. ftr that isn’t about RT either, that’s about irl; so yeah miss my fucking ass with the outrage culture bullshit that takes a “forever damaged/tainted”/”irredeemable” approach to the subject. Now in regards to RT: shitty things were said and perpetuated in the past by ignorant younger people of the time and corps are shitty penny-pinchers that care about expenses or hell with RT management’s impression just completely inept at remembering what they agreed to pay for. I won’t get swept into the outrage culture bullshit and have my own views on things.
Now I will say to definitely go fuck your damn self for trying to frame my post in the light that your fucking ass did. I guess if someone doesn’t line up perfectly in-step with your ass, then you have to try to smear them where you can. Unfortunately for you, I ran out of “giving a shit about others’ views of me” a long ass time ago; probably around the time I got tired of burying my LGBT+ status and started using my voice as I wished. In the past meant clashing against incels and right wingers; recently its meant clashing against far-leftists who both use similar ass tactics. I have disgust towards right-wingers and just anger towards the far-leftists that more times than not shoot the overall left’s causes in the foot.  “Go woke, go broke (right wing) = outrage culture (far-left).

The 2023 Hater's Guide to the West Region
This blog is not in any way affiliated with the NCAA, its entities, subsidiaries, or member institutions. This is a humor site and should be treated as such. We’re all on our way out – act accordingly.
Tumblr media
1. Kansas (28-6). When Texas beat Kansas to end the Big 12 (8?) regular season, the intrepid videographer shooting the game happened to catch a KU coed wearing a t-shirt which read “I (heart) Dick.” A-fucking-mazing. Look, I don’t have to tell you KU fans need this one seed, need the wins, need a title more than anything to justify their continued existence. They live in Kansas for fuck’s sake – Interstate 70 ends in Lawrence and you are stuck wandering the plains like Denzel Washington in Book of Eli until you reach Colorado, and the interstate magically appears again. There is NOTHING to do here other than watch basketball, and that says a lot, because I live in Iowa!
Tumblr media
2. UCLA (29-5). This is a Bruin, right? With that face, I am 100% sure his name is “Crick Monin.”
3. Gonzaga (28-5). There is a new Constitutional amendment which clearly states you are no longer allowed to refer to Gonzaga as a Cinderella school. It’s been twenty five years - I think the slipper finally broke. They’ve now been in every final AP poll since the 2008-09 season, and have appeared in every weekly AP poll since 2016-17, a streak of 115 consecutive weeks. I will never stop laughing when eighth year senior Drew Timme appears on my TV screen. All I see is TIMMY from South Park. Fuck John Stockton.
4. UConn (25-8). Go back to the AAC! Biggest group of crybabies in the country and it isn’t even close. When their women’s team had an injury plagued season (lost five games including back-to-back games for the first time in 30 years), Geno Auriemma vented to the media and to his team, telling them they had three days before the conference tournament to fix things. Then he got in his car and drove home to Manchester, wishing he could continue westward. “The way I felt was I want to wake up in California in three days,” he said. “I just want to keep driving, I don’t want to do anything, I don’t want to come to practice.” Jesus man, just fucking quit already and move away from that awful place. Twitter account CrimsonCast put it best: UConn continues to fail to shake the perception that they are simply an analytics darling. Like an east coast version of the Mountain West.
5. Saint Mary’s (26-7). Every bracket, no matter the site, always lists this school as “Saint Mary’s (CA).” Why? No one is confusing this school for the archaeological dig site posing as a university in Maryland, or the all-women’s college in north-central Indiana where many of the enrolled students play for nearby Leprechaun U, also known as Notre Dame. No, this is the school – in California – that gets exclusive coverage on ESPN Australia/New Zealand. Sixty percent of the student body is involved in organized athletics here, so it’s a good chance you’ll be handed a scholarship and some sort of ball upon move-in. It’s either that or forced labor washing jockstraps.
6. TCU (21-12). Their coach gives out a pair of “charge socks” when a Horned Frog player takes a charge. There’s a big bucket of these colorful dress socks in the TCU locker room. Charge socks? You have to be kidding me. You are in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, you can’t find a bag of blow or an extra couple of c-notes for your athletes? (Producer cuts in…garbled static…). Pardon me, I’ve just been informed that the “C” in TCU stands for “Christian.” There is no cocaine on campus. But NIL is legal now, surely you can find something other than a pair of sweaty dress socks to reward your unpaid employees. Perhaps a sad handjob from a coed who has already put on the freshman 15+15+15?
7. Northwestern (21-11). Congratulations, you finished top three in the Big Ten for the first time since 1960. You won your last conference championship 90 (!) years ago. You have made one (1) NCAA tournament and had to be retroactively selected as something called the Helms National Champion. Your most successful head coach played for Phog Allen at Kansas – in 1917! Northwestern basketball is the definition of futility. They are the Chicago Cubs of the NCAA; fitting for a program that markets itself as “Chicago’s Big Ten team” (insert jerking off hand motion here). Even if Northwestern won 25 games a season for the next 25 years, they would still have a losing record.
8. Arkansas (20-13). It is against state law to mispronounce “Arkansas'' while in the state, yet their residents  pronounce jalapeno “Holla-PEE-no.” Gun to my head, I wouldn’t be able to look at Sarah Huckabee Sanders naked, playing with a hula hoop, for more than a second.
9. Illinois (20-12). Brad Underwood is a bargain-bin Gene Keady who is very upset about “booty ball.” Every press conference he attends ends with him making a wet fart sound into the microphone.
Tumblr media
10. Boise State (24-9). No one gives a shit about this team unless tater tots rise to $6 a bag – then it’s time to storm the blue court. I know exactly one person from Idaho and their personality matches that of the official state produce. This person is incapable of being corrected. They are always right. You are always wrong. If you say the sky is blue, their response will no doubt begin with “well, actually…” Boise is also not a state, you arrogant fuckhead.
Tumblr media
11. Arizona State (20-12) or Nevada (23-9). Over 60% of the student body at ASU has some form of herpes. Unless you are a model, they throw you in an engineering building for four years. If you hate Duke just like the rest of America, you generally hate Christian Laettner and Grant Hill. But there’s one player from those early-90s teams everyone forgot: Bobby Hurley. As I’ve aged, my hatred for Hurley has waned, but I’ll always wish maximum pain for whatever team he coaches.
With the growth of legalized sports gambling across the United States, the University of Nevada has introduced several new classes for the 2023-24 school year: Kneecap Relocation, Intermediate Hammer Smashing Techniques, and Advanced Vig Calculation. Another new course addition as of Thursday morning: Getting Your Shit Pushed In By A Sun Devil Pitchfork. Too soon? Probably.
12. VCU (27-7). VCU stands for Very Completely Underwhelming. This isn’t a college, it’s an industrial laundry that has tricked 28,000 students into paying the institution to “work.” If you want a perfect example of the bloat in higher education administration, consider there are over 11,000 non-academic staff at VCU. Never trust a doctor from this school; they only practiced on centaurs.  
13. Iona (27-7). Someone is going to give Rick Pitino the best 14 seconds of his life to coach for them. 
14. Grand Canyon (24-11). By employing buzzer-beating Valpo alum Bryce Drew, this pretend university has already accomplished more in the NCAA Tournament than Mount Rushmore State, Hoover Dam U, Smokey Mountains College and SUNY-Niagara Falls.
15. UNC Asheville (27-7). Let’s have a quick check-in on how this college is doing. Student enrollment and retention are plunging at UNC-Asheville and top leadership is departing at the highest rate in the entire UNC system. While overall student enrollment in the UNC system has increased 7% since 2015, UNC-Asheville fell by a stunning 25%, the largest drop among the 16 public universities in the system. Of the incoming students UNC-A is able to attract, a high number of them leave before graduation. Retention of students, measured as those returning for a second year of school, is now just 68.6%, the lowest in ten years. Jesus, even Trump University would laugh at these numbers. 
16. Howard (22-12). Howard students recently had to protest living conditions in on-campus dorms – mold, mildew, and rats are apparently very commonplace in multiple residences. It is 2023; the only sensible reason these alarming conditions should be issues on your campus is when you have outsourced every part of the student life experience to a call center in the middle of the Himalayas.

Hungry Ghost Festival (In Minus style) BF is worshipping paper-crafted Boy and Girl statues for protection from evil spirits’ disturbance. Meanwhile, Daisy Lai is worshipping the dead Daisy AUs such as South Park (SP) Daisy, Canadian South Park (CA SP) Daisy and One Piece (OP) Daisy to comfort them to live well in the nether world when their spirits come in the ordinary world. This day is for respecting the spirits in East and Southeast Asia, not similar to Halloween. Yet, people can stay positive to let the spirits live calmly. BTW, I won’t forget anyone who died striving for independence, democracy, truth and even antiwar. They are never alone!
