    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I just saw Jon Hamm in an H&R Block commercial as an actor playing a Roman in a movie production. This makes me think he would have been great in "Hail, Caesar!"

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Now watching "Lady in Cement," the sequel to "Tony Rome."

    What coffee or tea did you drink today?

    A macchiato from a local espresso roastery. Just two ingredients: espresso, and a kiss of steamed milk. None of this sickly-sweet caramelly Starbucks stuff.

    What are you snacking on?

    Roasted and salted mixed nuts, with a couple little pieces of aged cheddar cheese made locally. I don't eat a lot of sweets.

    Advice Needed: Buying a Tuxedo

    I have a vintage cummerbund that I acquired at a thrift store some years ago. I'm not sure of its exact provenance.

    The Most Interesting Man in the World

    Ha, interesting marketing twist that another alcohol brand snatched him up.

    Advice On Feather in the hat

    If you're wearing an overly wide-brimmed hat with a zoot suit, then you may use a peacock feather.

    Wearing a top hat with a business suit and overcoat?

    Definitely a "special occasion" thing. But most people today wouldn't know the difference if you wore it with a regular suit and overcoat as opposed to white tie or morning dress.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    It's not purely appearance, it's her sultry manner.

    Vintage Look or Style

    My approach is to go for a more contemporary fit (slimmer) with classic/vintage details. This results in a visual impression that is stylish for today yet retro at the same time. I love heritage brands that specialize in that sort of thing, such as Original Penguin and PF Flyers.

    What would you not be seen dead in?

    Contemporary-style tennis shoes. For casual wear, I prefer my PF Flyers or Converse All-stars. I even wear them when doing strenuous, high-impact exercise. That's what they were designed for, after all.

    Advice Needed: Buying a Tuxedo

    I think a shiny lapel face is standard; if the lapel face is the same fabric as the rest of the jacket, most people may not recognize the garment as a dinner jacket/tuxedo. My suggestion is to go for midnight blue instead of black. Under artificial lights, midnight blue looks very close to...

    Your signature cocktail.

    Mine would be an Old Fashioned, typically with a medium-shelf bourbon or rye; think Bulleit or Knob Creek.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    One possible issue with shared restrooms... The way toilet stalls are constructed in the majority of public restrooms I've ever gone into (in the US, anyway), there is a noticeable gap between wall panels and doors. It feels REALLY weird when somebody outside a stall accidentally makes eye...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Tony Rome (1967) with Frank Sinatra, on limited-edition blu ray disc together with its sequel Lady in Cement. This is the epitome of "hard-boiled."

    You know you are getting old when:

    You know you are getting old when the local "classic rock" radio station is playing metal and grunge from when you were in middle school and high school. :mad:

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Maybe this is gross, but I never showered after gym class, because I didn't want to be completely disrobed in front of people. I just went to a corner of the locker room and changed back to my normal clothes and hoped nobody would notice.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I love sushi. An aspect of life in past decades that isn't known so much these days is physical culture. Certain strength/physique champs of the forties and fifties believed in eating just about everything raw, whether it be meat, fish, eggs, dairy, plants, or whatnot. I try to do this as much...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Peter Gunn

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I do my shopping at all kinds of grocery stores, but I have never seen fried herring in packages. I only see them pickled, or salted and packed in oil.
