    Studio 180 : Asteroid City Exhibition, London, July 2023

    Edward Norton's costume is a thing of true beauty, and I wish I could buy all of it to fit me.. My favourite bit, a detail totally missed on screen, is the slippers: leather house slippers, designed to ape cowboy boots. PLEASE if anyone knows where these can be found...

    Studio 180 : Asteroid City Exhibition, London, July 2023

    At time of writing, Wes Anderson's Asteroid City is playing in UK cinemas. I adored it myself - though I'd happily have watched it for the wardrobe alone. Studio 180 has an exhibition of costumes and props from the film currently running in London https://www.180studios.com/asteroid-city . The...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    A few days ago, I watched 1997''s Hoodlum, with Laurence Fishburne in the lead. A fairly formulaic gangster picture, loosely based on the turf war over Harlem's 'numbers game' in the early thirties. It's no Godfather, but perfectly entertaining if you like that sort of thing. I enjoyed the...

    The Shamrock Spitfire (2023) Official Teaser

    Historically there has been a long tradition of Irish boys joining the British military as a way of escaping poverty, or seeing the world, and often both. Fun fact: in WW2 the number of men who volunteered for the British forces from Ireland / The Irish Free State (which officially remained...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I went to see Dial of Destiny yesterday, and I adored it. For me, up there with the original three. I did like Crystal Skull, on a par with Temple. Dial, for me, is on a par with Raiders and Crusade. There's a thing [redacted plot device] which does happen that I was concerned about going in...

    Thoughts on Pigskin / pig leather

    Wallets look great. That second one particularly is a nice design.

    Thoughts on Pigskin / pig leather

    KLATU BARADA....er..... necktie? Hogskin was, at a time, in use for gloves. Workgloves, I think, mostly, but also afaik more affordable dressgloves. I have a brown, roughout leather Stetson eight panel cap somewhere from about ten years ago that is hogskin. Works really well for that.

    Indiana Jones V

    I think that could help open up a lot of opportunities - Mutt could easily be off at one of the fancy boarding schools she sent him to in Switzerland (per mentions in Skull). Course, he could also - without necessarily needing to appear - serve as a useful plot device explaining her being in...

    Indiana Jones V

    The kid was a surprise. I was worried when I saw there was to be a kid in this film, but actually the character worked very well on several levels - won't go into detail here yet because spoilers, but...

    Indiana Jones V

    This has been much discussed, particularly around Helena / Wombat. I'd enjoy that - I really liked her character. Plenty of options for her to fight Nazis and neonazis still too (though with care it didn't become too similar to Prime's Hunters). I'd also like to see something on Toby Jones'...

    What are you wearing today??

    Thanks! It's from Collectif. I have three or four different designs in these. Picked them up in Collectif sales over the last few years, really fun.

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    I used to have.... it was either a Grabow or a Doctor Plumb that shape. Just a cheap pipe, but a glorious smoker. Alas it got forgotten in the pocket of a parka one Winter, sat on, and the stem got snapped off. I think I still have the bowl somewhere in case I ever figure out a fix.

    Men rings - How to choose? What do you wear?

    In terms of etiquette, I don't think it matters much these days. I proposed to my wife on the sofa in our flat one Christmas Day, via a "Now you're forewarned....." handwritten message on the last page of the Ladybird book "The Husband: how it works". Among my group of friends, it's very mixed...

    Indiana Jones V

    Interesting stuff.... Yes, I'd love a collection of these sorts of bits. The more mass-produced bits there are the better - makes it more likely to get something decent affordably. I've seen some fairly decent 3D print renderings of the Raiders idol, but Sankara stones seem much rarer (I suppose...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The difference is really interesting that way, yes. I liked both, but Hickson was certainly Christie's pick it seems. Interesting to have a wide range of material to compare them both with, though - we don't as much have that with Poirot, given 'the others' only had a couple of films, whereas...
