The Thin Man lobby card (1934)

Tim Minear, I got a fucking bone to pick with you.

How the fuck did Nick and Nora, made during the infamous Hays Code era by the way, make out more times than Bobby and Athena? Like I’m not counting (I am and it is zero) but how is that exactly possible?

The film’s characters, supposedly married, weren’t even allowed for sleep in one bed because of those ridiculous rules and yet they seemed to convey more affection and sexual tension.

Meanwhile, you have no such restrictions with these actors today. We’re not even asking them to have movie magic sex, sir. We were just hoping for some actual fun sleuthing adventures with our favorite chaotic couple.

—because that was the expectation you set when you said they were going to be like The Thin Man.

(This should have been a red flag honestly because—in my opinion—apart from “The Thrilling Adventure Hour’s Beyond Belief” with Frank and Sadie Doyle, there has never been a truly good adaptation or inspired piece of The Thin Man which actually has led me to think it’s some kind of curse on its own, like a mini-Macbeth)

How do you reference The Thin Man regarding the episode you wrote? Like sir, Nick and Nora were a rich, chaotic, drunk honeymooning, sleuthing couple with a funny little dog who just happened to solve crimes for funsies because the wise-cracking wife and her cute little nose would not let her husband stay out of trouble.

They made sleuthing look fun and marriage seem sexy which was already a revolutionary idea in the silver screens of the 1930s…like that is the complete opposite of what you wrote in “Abandon ‘Ships”, Mr. Minear. Did you even watch the movies or did someone just say, ‘hey, you know those black and white movies…?’

I don’t mind what you did in the episode. I mind that you uttered complete bullshit about it saying it’s like The Thin Man movies because, no, hell no. Not even close. I really don’t get how you pulled that comment from your ass, sir. Respectfully.

So did you lie or did you just choose to reference the film series because this is another jab at the Oscars? Because as it happens, they also presented the actress who played Nora, Myrna Loy (sidenote: everyone knew she should have won for the 1946 film “The Best Years of Our Lives”) an Honorary Oscar.

So what I’m actually saying is, you kinda suck for lying through your stupid teeth, Tim Minear. So like go kick rocks or something. And maybe don’t ever speak of The Thin Man again if you’re just gonna lie about it.

We forget sometimes that the essence of democracy is to question.  In those days [McCarthy Era], people thought - some still do - that liberal meant Communist.  To me a liberal is one who moves slightly left when the Fascists get too strong and slightly right when the Communists get too pushy.  A real liberal has to be flexible that way.  ….  I believe in liberality of thought and have no time for any kind of totalitarianism - be it right or left.

Nick and Nora Charles 🕵️‍♂️ [the thin man, dashiell hammett] sketch

06/08/2023

Today I finished this book. Didn't care much about the mystery itself until half of the book, but I loved these two and their interactions since the very beginning. Weird thing to say, but they gave me Gomez x Morticia vibes, but maybe it was just that they're such a healthy couple.

Pulptober 2023 Prompts Elaborated, Part Two

Before we begin, link to part one:

Again, plus sign next to an alt means it was @maxwell-grant's idea, asterisk means I haven't read the source material.

6-The Lone Ranger/The Mask Does What The Badge Can't: Another fairly straightforward one; despite the core concept of the Hero Pulps being that the protagonist is a vigilante, seeking to bring justice outside the legal system, etc. many Pulp Heroes are, are *part* of the legal system. Today is for them. Alternates: The Whisperer, Dick Tracy*, The Black Bat (Yes, DAs count also)

7-The Spider/Tortured Justice: The weed of crime may bear bitter fruit, but fighting against it is no picnic either. Some Pulp Heroes go through not just physical, but also emotional Hell on the regular, enduring tremendous loss, heartbreak, and angst whenever they "suit up". Today is their day. Alternates: Elric of Melnibone*+, The Moon Man

8-Nita Van Sloan/Remember The Ladies: Today's theme is a famous quote from a letter that was sent to future US President John Adams by his wife Abigail, a power couple that, unusually for the time considered each other to be equals, and worked as a partnership. Similarly, many Pulp Heroes work alongside a Love Interest who is more than just a Damsel In Distress, but an partner in the crime fighting business. Alternates: Nora Charles*, Dian Belmont, Margo Lane*.

9-John Blacksad/Heroes Don't Have To Be Human: For almost as long as human beings have told stories, some of those stories have been about animals with human characteristics. It is not, therefore, a surprise that the same applies to Pulp Heroes. Alternates: Scrooge McDuck, Inca the Siberian Cat+*

10-The Grey Seal/Gone But Not Quite Forgotten. Pulp Heroes have been around for over a century, and there are *a lot* of them. It is, therefore, not surprising that so many of them have fallen between the cracks and been almost forgotten, even those that were important contributors to the genre's evolution. Today is for them. Alternates: Phra the Phoenician*, Reverend Dr. Syn*

WATCHLIST 2022: The Thin Man

#movie watchlist #the thin man #william powell #myrna loy #skippy #nick charles #nora charles

[classicsdoitbetter]

I feel like the scene in The Thin Man when Nick is trying to get into bed and he has the blankets all crooked and Nora goes over to help him and she’s says “You’re worse than an infant” is constantly me when I try to get under my covers to go to sleep. Who knew a scene in an 87 year old movie could be so relatable.

The Fernando Torres Feast Day menu 2023

March 20 was the Feast Day of St. Fernando, the day in which we eat in the name of the patron saint of Hair & Sports Programming Network.

A cocktail while cooking:

This is a gin martini (using Bombay Original London Dry Gin and Spanish olives) in a Nick & Nora glass, a type of drinkware made famous by the film adaptation of The Thin Man, in which the detective couple Nick and Nora Charles drink gin martinis out of tiny cocktail glasses.

For dinner:

An Andalusian cabbage stew (courtesy of the New York Times), here with napa cabbage (traditionally used in East Asian cooking, in honor of Sagan Tosu), tomatoes, red pepper, onion, and paprika. It smelled incredible.

Previous Feast Day menus: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022

One Dress a Day - bonus challenges

Monochrome July The Thin Man - Nora Charles (Myrna Loy)

You can’t go far wrong with stripes! I love the patterns created by the layers on the ruffles. A design like this could easily look beachy, but she makes it look fabulous!

Phillis Kirk: Woman in "Wax"

Phillis Kirk: Woman in “Wax”

Phyllis Kirk (1927-2006) entered my consciousness because she’s the leading lady in one of my favorite movies House of Wax (1953), and I wondered what else she had done, although (as happens more often than not) I had seen her in many other things without taking particular note of her. She was also the female lead in Jerry Lewis’s The Sad Sack (1957), and the westerns Thunder Over the Plains…
