Yes Minnie. The Maltese Falcon is the other one for me. When Spade tells Brigit he won’t take the rap for her murdering his partner I’m in love with him and respect him even more.

You got it, lady!

“Vogler describes two types of anti-hero Hero. The first is the character who behaves like your conventional hero but is cynical, wounded, and doesn’t let anyone close, and keeps their emotions locked away. Vogler even cites two of Bogart’s biggest movies, The Big Sleep and Casablanca.”

I’ll watch Casablanca as long as it can be found. This is my problem. I fall these type of guys with no way out and no happy ending. Ha!

Sloane he was and still is an awesome actor. And yes Karen he and Bacall ‘Betty’ were a great pair on and off the screen. Bacall coined the phrase ‘Rat Pack’ because Bogie was an original member. Frank Sinatra joined after Bogart died and everyone thought he started the group. Ha!

Yasmine, you’re spot on about Bogie. There will NEVER be another actor with his class and style. He is the perfect man to use as a yardstick for a hero.

A good read. I enjoyed Bogart in the mentioned pictures and hope no one tries to remake any of them. I’m also a romantic and find no matter how cynical he played, Laureen Bacall always smoothed out his edges. The neat thing about them was, you could tell they were crazy about each other and no matter what the scene, it came through.

You know, it takes a special kind of anti-hero for me to like. I am a fan of the tortured loner archetype, but I don’t think that’s exactly the same thing.

On the other hand, I just finished writing an anti-hero, so my tastes must be diverse.

Stay with me B.A. Jenna and I will led you through this. I’ll be posting Thursday the next three stages in the hero’s journey: the mentor, crossing the first threshold, tests, allies and enemies. Also the anti-hero as hero. We all know Riddick ain’t your typical hero. He’s a badass, someone you fear in the dark, but if you are in the dark you want him on your side or in front of you.

I love how Zisa was wiggling her finger at the big bad murderer through the screen.

We’ll get her writing yet, Sloane!

I’ve never followed this story so I have no favorite line. But I like the analysis. I think it will be interesting hearing about the different steps.

Glad to have you here, Pamala. Karen and everyone there is a third Riddick movie, and my girl Katee Sackhoff from Battlestar Galactica is in it.
