THE INFORMER (1935) COMING TO BLU-RAY FROM THE WARNER ARCHIVE COLLECTION DECEMBER 29th! NEW 2026 1080pHD MASTER FROM 4K SCAN OF NITRATE PROTECTION ELEMENTS! Gypo Nolan stumbles through a foggy Irish night, his brain pickled in whiskey and his soul tormented by shame and fear. Gypo is an informer, a turncoat who betrayed his friend to the British police for 20 pounds. Now he can’t spend the money fast enough – nor can he run from his treachery fast enough – as he brawls, brags, swaggers and lies his way toward his fate. John Ford earned his first Best Director Academy Award® and star Victor McLaglen took home a Best Actor statuette for this searing four-time Oscar®-winner set in 1922 Dublin. Timely in its portrait of murderous political strife between occupier and insurgent, and timeless in its exploration of the tortured netherworld of human guilt, The Informer is a masterwork of cinema for ages.

Watched The Prowler (1951) and it’s Van Heflin’s best role imo; playing one of the scummiest and vile cops in noir, yet still imbuing it with a small dose of desperation we latch onto, fulfilling a role usually embodied by a femme fatale. A part he was born to play.

I dated a girl who just threw all her change in the garbage

50 years ago today, on November 9, 1976, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers released their self-titled debut album on Shelter Records. Tom, Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench, Ron Blair and Stan Lynch cut it at Shelter's studio in Hollywood with producer Denny Cordell. Ten songs in about 30 minutes, including "Breakdown" and "American Girl." At first, almost nobody in America noticed. The band found its audience in Britain, where a tour pushed the album to No. 24 and "Anything That's Rock 'n' Roll" became a UK hit. Back home, "Breakdown" finally reached the Top 40 in early 1978, and the album climbed to No. 55 on the Billboard 200 and went Gold. Tom left us on October 2, 2017, but "American Girl" still sounds like the first day of summer. 🎸 The debut closed with "American Girl," now one of the band's signature songs.
