    Maltese Falcon Replica

    Do you have a version that has that time worn look to it? You know, the paint rubbed off here and there, looks like it has been passed around a few times through the centuries? Cheers! Dan

    Maltese Falcon Replica - Advice Needed!

    This was the Resin Falcon (WB 90456) That was confirmed to be the one that Bogart handled in many of the promo photos. http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/4903806 Cheers! Dan

    Maltese Falcon Replica - Advice Needed!

    An interesting little tidbit of trivia is that William Conrad had an original from the movie given to him in the 60's by Warner Bros. It sat on a bookshelf in his home until his death in 1994. Sure does look different in color than in black and white. I'm presuming that the original was...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    He reminded me a lot of my own father and they were about the same age when they passed. Mr. Kelly was a natty dresser with a penchant for bow ties. So this weekend I will don one of my bow ties and raise the parting glass in his honor. A true talent that shall be missed in the future but the...

    Movies you wished you had never watched.

    And they keep coming. Timeline. Again, loved the story, hated the film treatment. Great actors did their best with what they were given. I at least applaud them for that. But when they leave out half of the story you just cannot get into it. Even if you didn't read the book, you still get lost...

    Movies you wished you had never watched.

    The 1996 remake of Diabolique with Sharon Stone. Dead boring. The English Patient. Well put together period piece, just what felt like a lifetime wasted. Seven. We were all disturbed walking out of the theater that night. Wished that we saw A Walk in the Clouds instead. Battlefield Earth. An...

    Vintage Sunglasses

    While out & about yesterday we popped into Sunglass Hut. I spied with my little eye some really great retro sunglasses that when I tried them on were just too perfect of a fit for me. First were the Ray-Ban round model of sunglasses, their model RB3447, with the gold frames and standard green...

    Stuff that was on Mallory's person. Interesting article about the clothing used back then. http://www.lums.lancs.ac.uk/news/7843/malloryreplicas06/ Looks like someone is reproducing the style of clothing used back then. http://coggles.blogspot.com/2009/12/nigel-cabourn-mallory-jacket-and.html...

    This site has some great images of Mallory's artifacts recovered from Everest. http://www.affimer.org/gallery.html#mallory Mallory's vest pocket camera. I actually have one of these that is still in good working order. Film for it is just very hard to come by. The cleats on Mallory's...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The other night it was Lost Horizon (1937) with Ronald Coleman and Sam Jaffe (a.k.a. Gunga Din). Other than the fact that there is some missing footage and they replaced it with production stills, it was a rather good film. Thought it would make a fantastic remake in the near future, even as a...

    Man Cave/Vintage Lounge - Thoughts, anyone? (Heavy with photos)

    This thread is giving me some great ideas for our office when we finally get to purchase a house this year. My wife is letting me have free reign in putting this room together. I'm looking forward to it. I especially like the area rugs over hard wood and the desk with the leather insert. Time to...

    WW1 Peacoats? Need Help identifying please

    I recognize the OD one as an Army Overcoat for enlisted men. My Pop had one in the 50's and it made it around to me in the 80's in High School. Had the same brass buttons and half back belt. Cheers! Dan
