The past two Octobers I have participated in a Twitter horror movie challenge, and this month I am posting there about my film noir watches while observing what others are seeing. It is fun to be part of an online movie-watching exercise, but I am wary of it as well. So far I have made these social media experiences a reason to get to movies that I want to see. I am not concerned about watching the popular titles that will get the most reaction, but there definitely is some gratification when others respond positively to a post.<br /><br />Speaking of Anthony Mann, he initially built his career in Hollywood with film noir in the 1940s. If you have not watched Border Incident or Desperate, they are recommended. <br /><br />October and June (love Junesploitation) are the only months that I even attempt to watch films in large quantity now. My capacity to quickly absorb films has declined sharply over the past few years. Though reaching 300 watches a year is not likely now, I still try to get to as many as my time and energy allow.
