Since watching The Big Sleep (1946) recently, I feel the need to do the following:
1. Watch all movies featuring, in any capacity, Humphrey Bogart (there are almost 80)
2. Read The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler, upon which the movie is based (even Chandler himself couldn't follow the plot)
3. Read all novels by William Faulkner (there are 17), who worked on the screenplay
4. Might as well: Watch all films (47) directed by Howard Hawks
5. Watch again The Big Lebowski, which is, quite geniously, the Coen Brothers' take on the classic
6. Smoke
7. Drink brandy (in a glass)
8. Wear a hat
A good Bogart story here, as recounted in Time magazine on October 10, 1949, in an age (obviously) when celebrities were (quite awesomely) much more brazenly confident and straightforward with the media.
