Flaming Pablum & NYC Film

posted 7 hours ago #

Thanks to Blank Check I found myself watching After Hours, the 1985 Scorsese film about an office worker that has "a series of misadventures while attempting to make his way home from Manhattan's SoHo district." The description does very little to make it sound appealing and the poster may not scream "Scorsese film" to you. But I am here to tell you, it's a delight.

After watching any movie, I take a quick dip into the IMDB Trivia and cruise around the web looking for any other interesting bits. The Flaming Pablum blog has a ton of great tidbits about the film. Here's some insight into the real location Terminal Bar from the film (and a followup). But that's only the tip of the iceberg, the site is filled with insights and ruminations about the movie. Remaking the Soundtrack, Goodbye Club Berlin, Exhuming The Moondance Diner, and more. Of course, none of that will be all that interesting if you haven't seen the film but let that be a reminder.. see the film.

What is it you're looking for?
