    Films and shows that COULD NEVER Be Made Today!

    I love the visual style. Bruce Timm's animated Batman series in the 1990s drew some inspiration from the Fleischer Superman cartoon shorts.

    Roller Rinks

    I live about an hour from Centralia. There are nice antique stores around there.

    Modern Products with Vintage Style Packaging

    Nice. The Schwinn brand name has been around for decades, but the company isn't the same anymore.

    Roller Rinks

    There are a few decent roller rinks in my area, but I think the oldest ones date back to the 1970s, not earlier. For a while I was going every week.

    Dinner or Supper?

    I live a couple hours from Canada, and occasionally speak with people from the other side of the border. We call the evening meal "dinner" down here, and up there they call it "supper."

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I'm watching Laura, with Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews. I love this movie!

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    This reminds me... there is a little restaurant near my job that claims to specialize in Döner Kebab specifically in the Berlin style. But people who are from Berlin or who have visited Berlin say it's not authentic Berlin style. Of course, we are about five thousand miles from Berlin, so most...

    Should Men Wear Bracelets ?

    While after the Golden Era, Paul Newman wore one in From the Terrace, which I believe was released in 1960 or 1961.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I saw Woody Allen's "Wonder Wheel" in a little vintage theater a couple hours away because, by the time I heard about this limited-release film, none of the theaters in my immediate area were playing it anymore. It made for a nice day trip, and the theater had good popcorn and beers. Anyway...

    What do you use to shave?

    I think I'm going to pamper myself a little this weekend and give myself a straight razor shave. Here is a question for you cutthroat razor aficionados: For a brief period somewhere in the neighborhood of the late 19th century or so, somebody manufactured safety guards that you could attach to...

    Tiki Culture

    I think another good decorating idea is to put LP covers from classic exotica albums in wooden frames, i.e. Arthur Lyman, Les Baxter, Martin Denny.

    Indiana Jones V

    I dunno... my grandfather was eighteen years older than my grandmother. I don't understand why it should be a big deal. True love goes beyond such differences.

    Tiki Culture

    A purely decorative surfboard that's not actually made for surfing would probably be cheaper than a real one. You can get them in various sizes at all kinds of souvenir shops at the beaches around Los Angeles. Here's one that's actually a cutting board: Linkie

    Anyone into tent camping?

    I think it's interesting how recreational camping took off in popularity after World War II.

    Star Trek

    Well, that was based on the conning tower on naval vessels.

    Tiki Culture

    Polynesian-inspired artwork from the fifties and sixties, ceramic tiki mugs, bamboo trim.

    Star Trek

    And Data wanted to be more human. Spock didn't.

    Favorite hair styling products: Pomade/brylcreem/etc...

    I've been using regular Murray's since late last year, as the "Super Light" variety is definitely thinner than it used to be and doesn't have the same hold.

    Men rings - How to choose? What do you wear?

    I got an old-school college ring when I graduated, and I love it because they misspelled the name of the school! :p

    Star Trek

    I love Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and I think it is unfairly maligned. The movie is big and epic, and the cerebral tone is more in line with "The Cage" than the rest of the series. It explores interesting science fiction ideas and themes rather than being another heros vs. villains space...
