On getting tagged

It began pretty recently, so I’m not going to moan along the lines of “when was he gonna get around to telling us,” but out feisty and know­ledge­able com­menter who goes by only “bill” has star­ted a blog, and it looks to be a win­ner. It’s called “The Kind of Face You Hate,” after a clas­sic line from the once-obscure avant-noir Blast of Silence, and it has a par­tic­u­lar emphas­is on hor­ror pic­tures and crime fic­tion, both of which are bet­ter than all right by me.

In less delight­ful news, the man also known as Mr. R has “tagged” me with a “meme,” by which I am required (well, not required, but it would be overly churl­ish to refuse, as those of you famil­i­ar with all inter­net tra­di­tions would know) to list and describe 12 movies I haven’t seen. I was hop­ing to get a little down­time this week­end, but no…

Something ought to go up reas­on­ably soon. In the mean­time, the still here is from one of the twelve. Do you know what it is?

    Wow, thanks, Glenn. I did­n’t tell you before because I did­n’t want to sound like a too much of a blatant self-promoter, so I had to bide my time until I could sound like a more furt­ive self-promoter.
    Anyway, sorry for cut­ting into your down­time, and I pre­dict I will have heard of none of your 12.

  • Glenn Kenny says:

    Correct, D. The just-completed post is above.

    yes, I do!
    If you are Triple-AAA league I am Little League, but real­iz­ing I have seen even one movie you haven’t cheers me up a bit. Girish lent that one to me on VHS a while ago, bless him.
    I’m sup­posed to be work­ing on this meme too damn it.

    Fiesty and knowledgable”?
    Okay.
    Can’t argue with the name, anyway.
