Here's an article in the Daily Mail about Harrison and Indy with this quote "The 76-year-old Illinois native said that if he has it his way, he will be the only actor who will ever play the adventurous professor of archaeology. 'Don't you get it? I'm Indiana Jones. When I'm gone, he's gone. It's...
Here's a thoughful article about GofT's story arc and a broader discussion of sociological vs psychological storytelling. FWIW I don't really agree with the author on a lot of this article, although I think she's worth following for her other discussions of technology, privacy, etc...
I've never seen that suggested before, the bit about GofT being an over-budgeted, campy version of Holy Grail. That's perfect!!
As to your last point about dragging out storylines, one thing that bugged me about Deadwood was how in the second season the story seemd to be "marking time" or...
That Tilley that I posted about above arrived and sadly it's too short in the sleeves for me. My other Tilley, which has a belt but is otherwise very similar, is plenty long in the sleeves. Both are size Large, so go figure. I'll have to sell this elastic back jacket sadly.
Just imagine how even more frustrating it would to be working retail staff and have to deal with similar and even dumber returns and complaints... with your job on the line.
I didn't watch the last episode (gave up after season 3) but read a synopsis and have been vaguely keeping up with the series via a friend's comments. I agree, the dragon lady won fair and square by being tougher and meaner and more ruthless than everyone. And after 8 seasons of basically...
Yeah, I'm kinda surprised that there hasn't been a TV series, one perhaps happening timeline-wise after the Young Indy Jones series and before Raiders. It seems the obvious approach given how popular and apparently profitable boutique/high-end TV series are these days. And you can get a new...
I saw two fly pasts by the Lancaster yesterday, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, around 1,500 feet, and got to watch it both times. Great stuff. They must have been doing paid flights with it.
Deadwood the movie will be a hit for all the reasons and to the same fan base as Game of Turds. I watched the entire original TV series and started out enjoying it but by the end I had soured on it and now despise it. Like GofT, it slowly slid into wallowing the violence and evil characters at...
I had watched this show when I was a kid and enjoyed it so I picked up the DVD box set several years ago and found that I still really enjoyed it (except the pilot episode, which is bad). It's got some good humour in it for adults and it's just charming and harmless entertainment. I'd like to...
I recently sold an old Banana Republic safari jacket which was much more refined than my Tilley but yeah it was the sort of thing you'd have to launder carefully not just toss in with the whites and forget about it. On a whim, brought on by this conversation, I took a fly on a Tilley like the...
I thought so, I have the same jacket, which I picked up used a few years back. I really like the tunnel for the belt to slip through, which is much more secure than just a couple of thin belt loops at the side. Like you say, it's basically indestructible.
Short overcoat worn by Keanu Reeves in the movie "Siberia". It's a running joke in the film among the locals in a small Siberian town that he's inadequately dressed, but he makes clear he never intended to go further than St Petersburg but events forced him to.
Last night I watched "Siberia" from 2018 starring Keanu Reeves. I guess it didn't get good reviews and the story has some holes in it but I enjoyed the film and it's sticking in my head.
