Watched "Nightcrawler" (2014), at last! Go in cold, grim crime thriller fans. Titles that came up: "Ace in the Hole", "Heat", "Being There", "The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer", "Broadcast News", & spouse's mashup: "The Talented Mr Network." tubitv.com/movies/10004...
With any luck, this will be the week we replace that slot machine that plays "American Pie" in its entirety when someone wins.

Grim. Funny. NASTY. "Wake in Fright" jammed into "Get Carter". Thought of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Slither", "Deliverance"...

"Try and Stop Me!" (1950) starts out as a "Thieves' Highway"-type noir gris about post-war economic uncertainty, ends as a damning indictment of the "if it bleeds, it leads" media that rules to this day. If "Intruder in the Dust", "Fury" (1936), & "Onion Field" are your cup of tea...
