What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Two most recent viewings were In the Heat of the Night and Mogambo, both recorded from TCM. I had seen the former on television decades ago and remembered only bits and pieces. Mogambo was a first time watching, preceded by its reputation. Ava Gardner's character's lines felt as though they were...- Julian Shellhammer

in old movies they always dress up for dinner at home?
Dressing for dinner make me think of Downton Abbey's dress-like-you're-going-to-your-coronation dinnertimes, but I can remember my family get-togethers at Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, etc., where the men wore suits and ties (little guys at least a dressy shirt and clip on tie), and the...- Julian Shellhammer

Musician's hats
Buffalo Springfield is my all-time favorite band. I was too young to take in a concert when they were still together, but I bought every record I could find. I asked for and got a leather jacket with fringe for a birthday present. My kids grew up with Dad playing their songs all the time. So...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
At the theater, Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol.2 Youngest Shellhammer and I watched on Netflix something called Harlock: Space Pirate, a Japanese CGI movie. Parts are very steampunk-ish. The graphics, especially the details on things such as cracks in leather gloves, made it visually gripping.- Julian Shellhammer
