| 00:00 - 00:04 | Enough about those Box Office lists, it's all mainstream trash. |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | I want to talk about the official film noir lists. |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | As you know, there's the IMDb top 50 noirs. |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | Later on, a second list of film noirs got adopted. So what happens next? |
| 00:16 - 00:20 | They make another noir list official. |
| 00:20 - 00:23 | The third one! |
| 00:29 - 00:30 | Three noir lists! |
| 00:30 - 00:34 | Two official lists for such a narrow genre wasn't enough. |
| 00:37 - 00:39 | Three lists. |
| 00:40 - 00:47 | There's this forum where people discuss movies and lists...and promote their own lists too. |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | So this WalterNeff guy made a list of no less than 840 noirs. |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | And that's the one that got adopted! |
| 00:57 - 00:59 | 840 official noirs... |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | Who is ever going to watch those? |
| 01:03 - 01:06 | It's like compiling a list of 1000 horror flicks |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | and make it official. |
| 01:12 - 01:14 | Imagine! |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | A bunch of cynical guys and dames in black & white |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | ...multiplied by 840! |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | Good luck finding a film noir on IMDb that's not an official check now. |
| 01:34 - 01:36 | If you are a check whore |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | who doesn't like noir, you're pretty much screwed. |
| 01:40 - 01:44 | Seriously though, this is all WalterNeff's fault. |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | All he ever talks about is film noir. |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | He even gave himself a title: |
| 01:49 - 01:52 | The Czar of Noir |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | Czar of Noir... |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | Get that! |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | But people just call him Walter anyway. |
| 02:04 - 02:06 | Or simply "Neffie". |
| 02:08 - 02:09 | "Bow before..." |
| 02:09 - 02:12 | "Bow before the..." |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | "Bow before the Czar of Noir." |
| 02:16 - 02:20 | And the others be like: "Hi Neffie!" |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | Czar of Noir, what a brilliant title. I give it a 10 out of 10. |
| 02:28 - 02:29 | You mean a 14 out of 10? |
| 02:29 - 02:31 | Yeah, a 14 out of 10. |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | What's next, Joachim calling himself the UNESCO Unicorn? |
| 02:39 - 02:42 | People will still call him "J-Dog". |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | Anyway, on that iCM forum there's a challenge going on as we speak. |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | What kind of challenge? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | People watch noirs this month. They call it "Noirvember". |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | Anything for those official checks, right? |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | Even if it's just a bunch of dusty, old noirs. |
| 03:16 - 03:19 | And Neffie is in the lead. |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | He has already completed that official list of his. |
| 03:30 - 03:36 | 840 noirs is still not enough, apparently. |
