Do people on this app watch Severance? Here are my retro posters for the first 4 episodes of season two.

Now that I’m caught up on Season Two, I’m working my way back and making episode posters for Season 1. Here’s the season finale “The We We Are”. More soon!

“And as I retreated into the future, the only thing I could ever see was the past. It was nothing as sweet as nostalgia or a longing for bygone days, just a constant absence from the present, an anger toward the future.”

Pg. 17

“I stood alone in the darkness. Light does not illuminate. It only looks for things to illuminate. And I had never been found by the light. I would always be in darkness—”

Pg. 55

“Suddenly the countless streams of rain interrupting my vision as I stared at a withered lotus flower appeared like a big black curtain—clearly showcasing my life, closed off with nowhere left to go. Even though the curtain's come down…why wasn't I getting up from my seat…? What more did I think there was to see…?”

Pg. 160

Happy Birthday, Robert Mitchum (August 6, 1917 – July 1, 1997)

Mitchum may be best known for his nightmarish turn as a preacher chasing a pair of children in The Night of the Hunter along with his menacing convict terrorizing Gregory Peck in Cape Fear. He also played Philip Marlowe in two big screen adaptations of Raymond Chandler’s novels. In 1975, Mitchum starred in the period retelling of Farewell, My Lovely, and in 1978 he played Marlowe in then-present day London in a reworking of The Big Sleep. Mitchum remains the only actor to play Marlowe more than once in the movies, and even when the movies wobble his performance remains rock-solid and one of the best depictions of the private eye. It makes you wish he had a shot at the role during the 40s and 50s.

Mitchum continued to deliver steely cool tough-guy performances in movies like The Friends of Eddie Coyle and (one of my favorites) the postwar Japanese noir The Yakuza.

I featured Robert Mitchum on Episode 98 of my Stars On Suspense podcast with one of his visits to “radio’s outstanding theater of thrills” - a planning of a perfect crime called “Death at Live Oak.”

Anthony Bourdain at Park Hyatt Tokyo, c. 2008

That night I really grasped the fact that most of the time we have no notion of what we really want, or we lose sight of it. And the even more important fact that what we really want, just doesn't fit in with life as a whole, or very seldom. Most folk learn slowly, and never altogether learn at all.
