Andy Paciorek 💀☕Yeah, when something catches my interest I can get a tad obsessed... I blame World of Books offering titles at little more than a couple of quid each, free postage and 4 for the price of 3 offers!!

CoolerPseudonymI said “Hard Boiled” was a better action movie than “John Wick”, despite the obvious influence on “John Wick’s” action scenes. so I decided to watch it again, and naturally we had to torrent it.Anyway it really is tons better. “Keep those babies coming!”<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/HardBoiled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HardBoiled</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/JohnWick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JohnWick</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/FreneticActionViolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreneticActionViolence</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/GunFu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GunFu</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/JohnWoo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JohnWoo</a>

I think Wilder innocently confused noir w/ <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Hardboiled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hardboiled</a>. Noir is bleak, fatalist, about protagonists who try to get out from under only to sink deeper into their predicaments. Hardboiled is more open to stories of protagonists who make their way through harsh environments and manage to remain unscathed. As <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/RaymondChandler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RaymondChandler</a> put it, "Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean."

d4doomeThe Hunter (AKA Point Blank, 1962), the first hardboiled novel featuring his anti-hero Parker written by Donald E. Westlake as Richard Stark. A very hard-edged roller-coaster ride with cold-blooded disturbingly casual violence.
