  1. Just finished watching the 6-part mini-series, Monsieur Spade. As a massive fan of Dashiell Hammett's work, I went in feeling pretty sceptical. But it won me over fairly quickly and in the end I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well worth a watch.

    Trigger warnings for violence and a scene of implied sexual assault though.

  5. The first episode of Monsieur Spade slowly drew me in. Clive Owens' American accent was a bit of a stumbling block. But the end of the episode was fucking metal. Well done AMC. #samspade

  6. I was trying to demonstrate how ChatGPT can emulate a given style and used this example. #AI #GPT4 #Bogart #SamSpade #SanFrancisco

  7. Is Roy del Ruth's 1931 precode version of The Maltese Falcon better than John Huston's celebrated 1941 remake? I think it is, although I like both.

    Ricardo Cortez is a better Sam Spade than Bogart, and Bebe Daniels is definitely better than Mary Astor.

    With its cheerful immorality the '31 version is closer in spirit to Hammett's novel.
