I'm hearing a few things about the ending of the Dead Calm
movie that I don't remember, and it has been a while since I
saw it. My memory seems to have filtered out all the positive
stuff and redemption, leaving just the bad bits. So I guess
it's me that's noir, and not the movie.
While we're at it, Home Alone was noir, right? Kid gets
abandoned by his parents. Kid experiences bad, frightening
things during that time (involving crime). Kid never gets
over it and spends the rest of his life searching for someone
to look after him...

I must remember to put my name as "Ray Chandler" next time we
argue about Marlowe, just to get that edge. "Dash Hammett"
might be stretching credulity a tad.
