    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I'm so glad you dug it, Edward! I am no big fan of Edgar Wright, I haven't been particularly impressed by any of his earlier films. But I totally LOVE this one! Obviously, recreating Swinging London was a labor of love for him, and that aspect of the film is really well done; his affection...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Excellent review FF, the only thing I'd add is that Robert Anderson wrote this as a play first, in 1953. Broadway theater (and books) in those years was far ahead of films in dealing with such issues: there was no restrictive Production Code. And the generation that came back from fighting...

    My Finest ART DECO Item

    Kodak Six-16 folding camera. It was manufactured from 1932 to 1937, used long-discontinued 616 rollfilm to make 2-1/2 x 4-1/4-inch negatives, and cost $40 new. Dig those crazy rails!

    Nope, I haven't rushed to Barbie. The more popular something is, and the more I'm told how incredibly important it is at this cultural moment... the less motivated I am to go. I'm in no hurry to see Oppenheimer either, I haven't liked a Christopher Nolan film since The Dark Knight. As someone...

    Show us your photography

    We interrupt this parade of awesome digital images for a touch of old-school photography: This is Sucker Falls on Fishkill Creek in Beacon, NY. Shot with my 1970s Olympus OM-2n and 100mm Zuiko lens, Kodak Tri-X developed in D-76, 1200dpi negative scan with very minor adjustments.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I liked Bridge of Spies a lot. And West Side Story. I absolutely LOVED The Fablemans. It's not exactly a surprise that Steven Spielberg is an outstanding filmmaker - not since 1975! - but he seems to be on a particularly creative roll these days.

    Miller Hats

    I had a tweed newsboy cap from Miller Hats long ago, which was nothing special. I have mainly been buying/wearing Akubra hats for nearly 20 years, but I have to say that I am very impressed with the Agnoulita hat I got last year. I'd say it's a tad below Akubra materials-wise, but the level of...

    Intruder in the Dust is an excellent film... and I strongly recommend the book. And I say this having fought my way through most of Faulkner's books. (Absalom, Absalom has defeated me several times!) It is just about the easiest of his books to read. There are no attempts to "tell the whole...

    New Wested Finally Came

    I got one of their lambskin blouson jackets for my son around 7 or 8 years ago. It cost $145 at the time, and I (and he) have had no complaints about materials/quality/fit. The only issue with it was that Wested mistakenly shipped us a brown one rather than the black we ordered, so a switheroo...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Yup, Atomic City sounds like more of the same, and is maybe even more distantly removed from reality. I'm waiting for cable/whatever, since I'm probably going to hate it. The frickin' stop-motion animals in Fantastic Mister Fox display more humanity and believability than Wes Anderson's...

    Wested vs us wings Indy jackets

    I suggest that you get it from Wested and pay a bit extra for custom sleeve length, all-cotton lining, choice of hide, etc. It'll still cost MUCH less than the off-the-rack US Wings. I've been wearing my lambskin Raiders jacket for 20 years and it's still going strong as my "summer weight"...

    Looking for a Vistascope 16mm attachment by Old Delft (1950s era)

    Hmm... I've been following filmmaking and photo equipment since the 1960s, but I never heard of this thing! You might be better off asking about this on more specialized photo equipment forums like photo.net and phototrio.com, or even better, 16mm filmmaking-oriented sites.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I watched that Fellini film, Il bidone, last year. Very good, and I'm not the world's biggest Fellini fanboy. Babylon (2022), written/directed by Damien Chazelle. Let me preface this review by noting that I HATED Chazelle's previous films (Whiplash, La La Land, First Man), and it hurts...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    You're both right! I saw both of those films in theaters when I was 10, and many times since. I watched two recent biopics about authors, with both films named for their first names(!), and both stories largely fictitious... Emily, about Emily Bronte and how this "oddball loner" wrote...

    Sky Captain was received with much excitement here when it came out, there are definitely threads about it. I took my kids to see it theatrically and got the DVD. And yeah, it looks cool and it's fun... for a while. As far as "the vision" of director Kerry Conran, that's the problem. He was...

    That's a porkpie hat. They're out there, both from custom hatters and major makers. There are crappy cheap wool ones, and much nicer fur felt ones. https://www.delmonicohatter.com/category/PorkPie.htm https://www.hats.com/mens/shop-by-style/pork-pies And better...

    Hey Worf, I liked it too! https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/indiana-jones-v.85388/page-39#post-3021542 Last night on Netflix, the recent Living with Bill Nighy, about a repressed English civil servant in the 1950s who receives some very bad news. Living is a remake of Ikiru, a 1952...
