I've been lurking for some time and thought it was time to
say hello. Saw this today and wondered what y'all
thought.
"Brick,"
<

a flashy cinematic stunt perpetrated by Rian Johnson
<
http://movies2.nytimes.com/gst/movies/filmography.html?p_id=302822&inline=nyt-per>,
dispenses with the adolescent gibberish of the here and now
to graft the hard-boiled argot of Dashiell Hammett
<

onto an upscale Southern California high school: the milieu
of "Beverly Hills 90210" and "The O.C." goes noir.

Will Hammett be popular among the high school set?
Best, JT
