    Woody Allen Film "Café Society"

    Lots of things to see! Cars, clothes, hats, architecture, all of it. 1930's Hollywood glam, and a cast of well known and talented actors. But not a storyline or plot to be found. Watch it with the sound off and get just as much out of it. Kristen Stewart is better than usual, but one still...

    Snug or loose fit on WW2 flight jackets? Whats more "authentic"?

    I interviewed a 90 year old vet who was a tail gunner on a B24 last year. He showed me his jacket, and I checked the tag for the maker. He: "Huh. I never once thought to look."

    The old phrase: "Give your little finger to other people and they take the whole hand."

    My experience is almost identical. I'm making a living as a freelance writer at the moment, but it's a precarious existence and the lights or heat might be on or not, depending on who has paid up or who sits on the money until they're damn good and ready. Last month, I got everywhere I needed to...

    Dare to Dream: Your "Ultimate" Leather Jacket

    The ultimate dream leather jacket, a perfect, buttery A1, which I'd coveted for a decade, arrived in the spring of last year from the custom maker TWO blasted sizes too small and unwearable. After refusing to take it back, I ended up selling it on eBay for a 1/4 of its value. A damned heartbreak.

    1940s - Republican Party question (non political though)

    I doubt anyone has voter registration rolls that far back, and in fact I'm unsure if one would need to declare party affiliation then. But that seems the best bet, if no diaries or letters exist.

    1945-1953: Generally a forgotten era?

    I became UNGLUED on shot days. You'd come to school, ready for whatever, and suddenly you're in line to get stuck with a giant needle. And the school nurse, always a scary broad, policing the line and taking pleasure in the weeping kids they were sending to slaughter. I can't believe they did...

    1945-1953: Generally a forgotten era?

    Indeed. A wonderful tear-jerker of a film. My favorite line, which I've thought of often as it applies to my own life these days, is by Lewis. Something about "I'm no longer looking over the next hill, or around the bend. I'm here now, and it's fine."

    The United States GI posthumously honored for saving Jewish Lives

    A really great story. “When Dad got the orders and told his men that they were not giving up the Jewish soldiers, they could have said no,” he said. “When the commandant pressed the gun against my father some of the men could have pointed out the Jews. None of them did that. They all stood...

    Arrival

    I saw it opening day-- a really well made film. It's really impossible to say much about it without spoiling the whole thing, but I'll see it again on DVD for sure. One thing I especially liked was the cinematography. For at least the first half of the film, every shot was in extreme focus with...

    Allied

    Just saw the trailer on the big screen when I saw Arrival (which is really amazing.) Anxious to see this one.
