    Star Trek

    There's been discussion, both positive and negative, in various places about the new SNW episode 'Subspace Rhapsody.' In short, I thought it was brilliant. It had the potential of being wrong in so many ways, but was woven together to combine character history and development, while serving...

    Removing the Reed?

    Yes, this an old thread, but I have been debating with myself as to whether or not remove the reed from one of my Akubras. I have taken to wearing it back on my head. The issue is that because I am 'follically challenged,' it leaves an indentation at the top of my forehead where the weight of...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Color choice is completely subjective. Of the five or so choices available for a Fed IV, I have brown, carbon gray, and Tawny Fawn. I never wear the tawny Fawn although the other two get regular wear. Some say the Heritage model is better enough to justify the increased price. For my first...

    Star Trek

    I think it's a refreshing change, so long as it's mixed in with some more traditional Star Trek-style episodes. Look at the ToS trible episode. Quite frivolous, yet one of the most mostly positively talked about episodes in the franchise.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Tawny. I've taken photos of my hats. Most hats' colors are different depending on the camera (phone), and location - outdoors, indoors - type of lighting in each room.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    And even with the side by side comparison pics, the TF in your photos is a different color than the one I have in my hand. Note to all: be very wary of any online pictures. Cameras and computer screens can do strange things with colors, especially hues.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    I was gonna say that you have a big head (literally, not figuratively), so you'd need a hat with larger overall dimensions.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Be aware that although seemingly close in pictures, the Heritage and Tawny Fawns are noticeably different once upon a head.

    Indiana Jones V

    Regardless of how hyperactive the film may be, the kids are not very interested in the trials and tribulations of an 80 year old man.

    Indiana Jones V

    Well, please let us know when this happens so I can tune out of this thread because I don't do theaters anymore. I'll wait for a home viewing opportunity.

    Indiana Jones V

    The main danger with this idea, imho, are the nods to earlier films, which in itself is not a problem, except when they nod in the wrong direction. Example: in ToD, when he goes for his gun in his empty holster, his facial expression is a nod to something that didn't happen yet in the timeline...

    Star Trek

    We watched ep3 of SNW a couple of nights ago. I tell ya, this series gets better and better. It could be the best of the franchise. I am actually excited for each next episode, and TV generally hasn't impressed me in years. The acting, emotion, writing, variations of what could have been...

    Yes, camera optics are tricky, especially up close.

    Star Trek

    I am glad that Mount's Pike is more of a 'character' though, with actual dimension and emotion, which JH had neither of in the pilot. Who is to say, though, whether or not he would have developed if that version of the series had been given the green light?

    Indiana Jones V

    I just don't understand the concept of cross-gender characters. Regardless of whatever actress is picked to 'replace' Indiana Jones, she and her character will never be Indiana Jones, not because of Harrison Ford, but because Indiana Jones is a man. There are just some things that can't be...

    Indiana Jones V

    Waist deep in water in a cavern, and a big round boulder. Hmm.

    Actually, I was kidding. He said he only took it off to sleep. haha

    Star Trek

    Also keep in mind that today's audiences wouldn't tolerate the cheeseball sets and effects of 1960s sci-fi TV. As previously pointed out, the producers of SNW have threaded that needle very well, the balance between old and new, in all respects, imho.

    Indiana Jones V

    I have often thought that T2 was the best of the franchise, which in itself is unusual because sequels to successful first films have a lot to live up to.

    Shaping it in the shower can be effective.
