For me, cyber-punk Noir begins and ends with "Blade Runner". How are you going to top that? It's just like with period Neo-Noir and "Chinatown". ATP, does a Golden Apple veteran like you follow crime comics? (I refuse to use the term "graphic novel") I LOVE this series: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_(comics) Also if anyone is interested, the Nuart in West Los Angeles is having a British Noir festival this weekend: http://www.british-weekly.com/?p=1138 I'm embarrased to admit this, but I've never seen "The Third Man". This looks to be a good opportunity. And TikiHardBop, about Busby Berkeley being Noir... I was KIDDING. :)
