If you mixed DUEL (1971) with THE STORY OF O (1975) and KALIFORNIA (1993) you would have something approaching
Pasquale Festa Campanile's 1977 exploitation shocker, HITCH HIKE. This film is bat shit crazy in the best way possible. No notes.

My latest #noirvember viewing is another German trucker noir, co-scripted by Helmut Käutner, who wrote/directed BLACK GRAVEL (1961). AT NIGHT ON THE STREETS (1952). Long-haul truck driver (Hans Albers) gets drawn into a criminal act after getting involved with a femme fatale played by Hildegard Knef

Picked this up on a whim recently, because l wanted something reasonably escapist to read. Re-read, actually, because l read the the Lloyd Hopkins series years ago. A tight little hard boiled cop tales, they really work. And post watching COP, James Woods IS Hopkins.

I have been so very good about not buying second hand books while l’m in Berlin. But there’s a little second hand place near me that always looks a bit forlorn and neglected and whenever l visit it l always have to make a purchase. This is my latest haul.

I love it when people give me pulp they find, German edition. Some examples of the long running Kommissar X series from the mid-1980s found by a friend in a flea market in southern Germany. Particular like the advert for the binder to store back issues in.

Today is the 50th anniversary of a CIA orchestrated coup against a democratically elected Australian government. That’s exactly what it was, Washington acting to contain a left social democratic government that was starting to threaten vital US intelligence based on Australia soil. Never forget.

Last night’s film, OUTLAND (1981). In the period between Bond & his late 1980s renaissance as older sex symbol, Sean Connery did some really Interesting films. Solid mix of low-fi SF, western & bad town noir. Could argue Connery at his best when he wasn’t firm in his footing, as seems the case here

Christ on a crutch, just read an extract from THE MUSHROOM DIARIES. Actually, tried to, because it was so unbearable I couldn't finish it. If you can read 256 pages of a group of writers trying to shoehorn deep subtext into every utterance of a murder trial, you are a stronger person than I
