Hi Martha!
Welcome to the List. Lots of Avians are presumably out for
summer migration, which explain the thin stream of messages
we had these last days. Glad you joined, so there will be
even more discussions about films, HB and Noir. This was the
weak point of the list until recently, when a few film buffs
joined the list inducing more discussions about cinema
here.
A short while ago there was an interesting exchange of point
of views about : Payback (the new film with Mel Gibson) and
the original Point Blank by John Boorman. You could probably
retrieve it in the archives on the web site of RARA AVIS. I
myself finished a list of recommended HB/Noir films, posted
on my web site, from classics to present days.
If you like HB novels, that's not a problem. All kind of HB
aficionados are linked to this list, and they know a few
books, believe me!
Fall will certainly bring our Avians back and the list will
then be at full blast again...
Hope you'll enjoy.
