Fannish 50: 2024: Everything is Murder edition: #23: Hardboiled Detectives/Noir

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I need a hardboiled detective icon!

I love hardboiled detectives. My favorite is Phillip Marlowe by Raymond Chandler. Every once and a while I like to write a private investigator AU. I posted one today for Unconventional Courtship. [I finished it! at 3:15 am this morning! I so afraid the mice were going to come out but none did.]

I watched a lot of noir/hardboiled detective films for this, and I did a chapter by chapter analysis of Chandler's Farewell, My Lovely, while listening to an audiobook version by narrated Elliott Gould who does the weariness and wit very well. It includes one of my favorite lines from all of literature:

he looked about as inconspicuous as a tarantula on a slice of angel food

And, of course, I did a collage. I ordered this old Hollywood B detective movie stickers from etsy. They are so cool.

That is a brilliant collage!

Thank you! I got 12 film stickers. They are all pretty fabulously over the top. I will be doing more for certain. I got a pack of black and white stickers too like movie tape and slides.
