Today's quote

James Ellroy writes noir pulp novels—in the same sense that Wagner wrote musicals. In an interview he comments on the film noir classic Double Indemnity.

Well, you know what? You meet a woman and maybe your lust for her will lead you to do things you wouldn't normally do. I've done it.

I've done it recently.

Can't wait to do it again.

Ellroy also says that De Palma's forthcoming film adaptation of his novel The Black Dahlia is “terrific.”
