The Detective with Frank Sinatra

[Chromeo]

Watching this movie, pretty cool.

Old movies are fun to watch, all the male stars are such G's

Sinatra's trying to solve a murder case that involves a homo love triangle, not really interested in that.

what im interested in is Sinatra finds out his wife is basically a wh*re shes been going out having numerous affairs, he seems like he barely cares, but just stops his affection toward her but continues sleeping with her.

Anybody else seen this movie have any thoughts on it? If not check it out.

Holy Sh!t The sequel to that movie.... Was freaking Die Hard.

Roderick Thorp later wrote a sequel to The Detective called Nothing Lasts Forever, in which Leland is trapped in a Klaxon Oil Corporation skyscraper after it's taken by German terrorists and must rescue his daughter and grandchildren. Twenty years later the novel was filmed with some changes: the daughter became his wife, Klaxon became the Nakatomi Corporation and Joe Leland's name was changed to John McClane. The film was released under the title Die Hard (1988) by the same studio as this film (20th Century Fox)

Thats crazy I did not know that.
No wonder McClane was so pissed at his ex wife in die hard.

Except he wanted to get back together with her. In the Detective, Sinatra tells his wife, no we cant get back together.

wife:do you feel better after balling me?
sinatra: dont I always
wife: can we have one of those lazy days together like we used to have?
sinatra: No I have to go

stone cold

another scene, sinatra goes to his wifes place after a rough day interogating a murder suspect

sinatra enters angry about the case and complains to his wife about it

wife: what can I do, why did you come her
sinatra: I came here to ball isnt that what your good at! (not kiding they actually use the verb "ball" in this movie, unless its a tv edit)

she hugs sinatra, closeup on sinatras troubled face.. they procede to "ball"

im gonna start saying "ball" haha
