Movies
If you like moody, crackling, well-written films, tune into TCM on Saturday mornings at 8:00 a.m. (NY and Pacific time). In a segment called "Darkness After Dawn", they show a noir film that begins the weekend with wit and sharpness. If you're unfamiliar with noir, there's a good piece here (the internet is a super resource sometimes). Every now and then, though rarely, one of the films is too harsh or bloody for my taste, but hardly ever. They're usually from the 40s and 50s, black and white, snappily written and carefully plotted, and more fun than shoot-em-ups or today's extravagant crime films.
