WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

Welcome to PRIVATEYE, my personal site dedicated and themed around film noir! It also contains other sites based on my general (specific) interests. Feel free to look around, but don't touch anything... Or should you? Also, I've given your mouse a cigar. Click & hold to take a good old puff.

RESOURCES

  • Classic Film Noir: A great site filled with reviews for classic and some neo noirs, plus a good amount of analyses of elements present in the genre such as fascism, smoking and general film noir theory.
  • This blog lists a huge number of noirs you can watch right now, for free. (Archived)

GUESTBOOK

Sign the guestbook! If you wanna. I'm not forcing you at gunpoint or anything... or am I?

A drawing of an open book, my persona's face doodled on the top page.

a black and white photo of a cat sitting in a miniature computer desk, with a caption above reading 'i'm over here investigating my case right now i got evidence on my desk right now sleuthing my shit, i'm noir as fuck man i'm a detective man'. a cartoon of a sad detective in black and white, with a text caption reading 'This site is the stuff dreams are made of'. A Tumblr post from user bowling-with-skulls that reads 'Liberal film noir: Double In-them-nity, lesbian Laura, Drag-sablanca, The Third Trans Man, Nightmare Ally, Pronouns Blvd., The Maltese Falcon'. A picture of Sonic the Hedgehog drawn in MS Paint. He looks angrily to the left with a speech bubble that reads, 'I'm so mad. I'm gonna read film noir analyses so I won't be so mad'.

Added the guestbook!! Go use it!!!!! Say words to me!!!! Also got rid of the blog as I don't see much use for it nowadays. I'm starting to be wayyy more private online! Other things of note...
