My vote for official Noirish beer
[QUOTE=CaliNative;8586532
I think Schlitz should be the official noirish beer.[/QUOTE] I think it should be Eastside Bock. :cheers: |
End of the noirish era--when beer (and soda) cans introduced pop tops?
True noir requires beer to be opened by can openers, and the can must not be aluminum but steel. True noir era also allows smoking EVERYWHERE (cough, wheeze). Color TVs are a novelty in the noir era, and VERY expensive and the picture is rotten. Computers are as big as a room and still use vacuum tubes (as do TVs). When your TV stops working you call a repairman who checks all the tubes. The end of noir is when tail fins started to be removed from cars, and British rock groups get traction. In the noir era practically ALL MEN WORE HATS. In the noir era backyard incinerators were still allowed, smog be damned. And it often wasn't called smog, but "haze" or maybe smoke. In the noir era, Pacific Ocean Park ("POP") still existed, as did Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe. Nearly all Americans ate meat, and there were almost no vegetarians. Nobody worried about cholesterol. Everybody watched Ed Sullivan on Sunday night, and Jack Benny too. Bob Hope always hosted the Oscars. Perry Mason always won his trials with a stunning courtroom confession.

Worst car color in the history of the world! :eek: Original Kodachrome Slide: Scene at the Broadway-Crenshaw Center in Los Angeles, 1947. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/jPHNyI.jpg Ebay Would someone please tell to me what this color is? ....It's mind bogglingly awful. Alice must have a date with Sam. She bought new duds. |
Let us not forget Rheingold: "My beer is Rheingold, the dry beer..."

Interesting. In my mind I don't associate beer much with film noir. I associate film noir with liquor...whiskey...cocktail bars.

Many problems with this photo. There's color shift in the slide, oxidation of the paint itself, fading from sunlight, etc. In the decades before cars had a coat of gloss added to the finish, waxing a car was a big deal. It was an attempt to restore some life to the dull paint. I recall that a wax job seemed to remove half of the paint.....you could see it on your polishing rag. |
It almost looks like primer.
