Sword and Sorcery Movies from the 80's
hear the lamentation of their women Wasn't there a project around where John Milius was writing an "older Conan" with sons and stuff, for Arnie? That would be something, the original is pretty much the ne plus ultra of the genre. Excalibur deserves a mention though, I still watch it every few...- dr greg

Accent, you ain't the positive
I just saw an old Mitchum film called One Minute To Zero set in the Korean War, quite graphic in its use of real footage, and confronts some pretty dark stuff as well, not a bad effort,....but, there's a scene where RAAF Mustangs arrive to give air support to the GI's on the ground, and...- dr greg

Appaloosa (2008)
shoot 'em up I like a good western, although they've been thin on the ground recently, 3-10 to Yuma didn't cut it for me either. I recently picked up the remastered Once Upon A Time in the West, fantastic stuff, and I finally found out after all these years why spaghetti westerns always...- dr greg

Ebay seller asking for more $ after I paid
why all the fuss If I sell on Ebay, I clearly state that shipping costs are determined after sale, I then pack and weigh the thing at the post office and tell them what the charge is....so simple. Never had an issue with it.- dr greg

Taking Amtrak
I'm tracked I went from NY to LA via NO in the 80's and I used Amtrak for quite a lot of the journey as I had a pass with unlimited travel, but every train was seriously late, to the extent that I had trouble with seeing what I wanted to as sometimes I had to virtually get out of town in a...- dr greg

Sterling with dinner?
Your health sir! I always eat with silver cutlery, the electrolysis from your saliva provides you with 'colloidal silver' which health freaks pay vast amounts for in bottles, I read that one reason the rich are known as 'blue bloods' was because they ate with silver cutlery on silver plate, and...- dr greg

QUIZ: The Few.
slightly off-topic, but.... I read a review of this today, http://shop.abc.net.au/browse/product.asp?productid=253704 and in it was mentioned the fact that German pilots had no 'tours', they were basically there until they died or the war was over, which I found interesting in the light of... -

Imported "JUNK"
hindsight Not especially, your obvious Levi's and Justin Boots, etc, but apart from that just a general image of reliable quality, although we knew for example that Sear's was not top notch...much the same as I know the difference in English brands between Turnbull&Asser and Marks&Spencer...- dr greg

Imported "JUNK"
US maid The main things I'm aware of in this country that used to be imported from the USA were clothes,tools such as spanners or machine tools, luggage and boots, all were considered top quality, and the USA brand to be worthy, I still regard these items to be of good quality if made there and...- dr greg

Remakes
things Ah THE THING! A masterpiece, I could never work out why Carpenter's version wasn't well-received, by coincidence I saw the original the other night" it was very much of its time, and cheesy to boot, but it had some nice flight jackets in it I never noticed when I saw it as a kid.- dr greg

Yes indeed, first I picked up this hard-to-find black jacket for $15, then the dinkum 1945 jungle issue Aussie digger dax for $4, the gods were smiling when I did my rounds this day, people! (not that they'd go together, but still...)- dr greg

Keeping indigo jeans dark
Can't be done As far as I know it's not possible, besides, isn't half the fun wearing them in so the fading is individual? I'd say buy a new pair of 501's every year and sell the old ones ( as some do with their cars), and you'll always have that look!- dr greg
