#SamSpade

Finally finished the model I got for Christmas! The original kit is a detective agency that's very clearly supposed to be Sherlock Holmes-themed, but I changed some things and made some pieces from scratch to make it Sam Spade's office instead. My own creations don't look quite as polished as the pieces that came with the kit, but I'm still pretty pleased with the end result.

Just finished watching the 6-part mini-series, Monsieur Spade. As a massive fan of Dashiell Hammett's work, I went in feeling pretty sceptical. But it won me over fairly quickly and in the end I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well worth a watch.

Trigger warnings for violence and a scene of implied sexual assault though.

The first episode of Monsieur Spade slowly drew me in. Clive Owens' American accent was a bit of a stumbling block. But the end of the episode was fucking metal. Well done AMC. #samspade

Sam Spade only ever came across a fake, but what’s this? Could I have the ACTUAL Maltese Falcon?
(It’s a long story, but… technically, yes?)

Spade and Archer

Window from the Dashiell Hammett Suite in the Hotel Union Square in San Francisco, the hotel Hammett first stayed in with his wife when he came to town. A black statue of a falcon (the Maltese Falcon), a typewriter and a photo of a woman (likely Lillian Hellman) are on the shelf in front of the window. SPADE and ARCHER is painted in block letters on the glass.

I was trying to demonstrate how ChatGPT can emulate a given style and used this example. #AI #GPT4 #Bogart #SamSpade #SanFrancisco

Prompt: Describe a typical day's weather in May in San Francisco in the style of Humphrey Bogart playing Sam Spade. Output: Dame Dawn breaks like a sultry secret in this town, shrouded in her favorite chiffon number. We call her Fog, and she likes to dance with the Golden Gate before anyone else is awake. She’s here, then she’s not, see? Just a lady playing hard to get. It's all part of the allure that is San Francisco in May. By mid-morning, the sun begins to elbow its way onto the scene, like a brassy broad who won’t take no for an answer. She's a warm number, but not too warm. This ain't no Southern belle; we're talking low to mid-60s here. That's Fahrenheit, kid, not a detective’s age. The breeze off the bay - it's got a bite. A kind of chill that cuts through your trench coat, reminding you that summer’s still a promise, not a fact. By afternoon, the sun has the spotlight. The city gleams beneath her, the cable cars clanging their way up the hills, the sea lions barking approval from Pier 39. Evening comes with a tip of the hat, and our lady Fog slips back in, pulling the shroud of night with her. The town gets that quiet feeling, like the world's putting its secrets back in the safe. This is San Francisco, kid. You don't like the weather, wait fifteen minutes. It’ll change its tune faster than a canary in a room full of coppers.

Now watching The Maltese Falcon - 1941

Is Roy del Ruth's 1931 precode version of The Maltese Falcon better than John Huston's celebrated 1941 remake? I think it is, although I like both.

Ricardo Cortez is a better Sam Spade than Bogart, and Bebe Daniels is definitely better than Mary Astor.

With its cheerful immorality the '31 version is closer in spirit to Hammett's novel.
