I am afraid I must agree with Tom Tyler's suggestions of more
realistic alternatives to the, in my opinion, lame TV
adaptation of Parker. I didn't like the casting at all, and
the only reason I lasted for as long as I did (maybe an hour
and a bit) was the fun of spotting Toronto locations. But,
then, I have felt as if Parker himself has been a pretty lame
adaptation of his former self for years now.
But I write of a more pressing matter. As Our Master Bill
pointed out, we Torontonians got to see the Dashiell Hammett
bio on Sunday. I thought it was okay, but was stunned to see,
in footage of notes he wrote, that Hammett dotted his i's
(what is the plural of i, anyway?) with tiny circles.
Hey, was this guy some kind of sissy, or what?
Just wondering,
