Fab stuff!
Writer of SENTINEL, the best little indie out there

Echidna

1st: EAMONN CLARKE Simping ain't easy. *
2nd: TIMOTHY A Touch Of Class
3rd: MODERN PANTHER Old Man Normal

Honourable mentions to Shark, Heath and particularly RaggedMan - for what it's worth, I thought the Zenith interview was entirely in keeping with the spirit of the theme and would have been my vote for the top spot.

* I'm a sucker for a pulp/noir reference - I counted eleven. Did I miss any?

Trouble Is My Business (Raymond Chandler)
The Big Sleep (Chandler)
"weird bird sculpture" (The Maltese Falcon)
The Little Sister (Chandler)
The Long Goodbye (Chandler)
The High Window (Chandler)
The Lady in the Lake (Chandler)
Double Indemnity (Billy Wilder/James M. Cain/Raymond Chandler)
"All I have to do is whistle/I just put my lips together and blew" (To Have and Have Not, not strictly noir but of course it's Bogie and Bacall)
Farewell My Lovely (Chandler again)
The Lady Vanishes (Hitchcock, not really a noir director but he did work with Chandler on Strangers on a Train)
