    Penny Dreadful- *spoilers* (duh)

    I've just seen episode 8, and I'm re-watching it. Actors are rarely given that kind of magnificent dialogue to work with. I think it's the best so far: interestingly, it lacked two pf the main characters. Lilly was absolutely wonderful in revealing what she understands about herself and her...

    Masters of Sex

    Showtime (USA) drama about the relationship between / research of Masters & Johnson in the late 1950s-early 60's. It's our era and I thought I'd like the story for all the up-tight Eisenhower Era stereotypes I expected. I've only seen episode one (I'm late to the game) but I don't think I can...

    Penny Dreadful- *spoilers* (duh)

    I watched all of the two seasons and I have to say I like it, with reservations. Some episodes were all filler, it seemed to me. The backstories just plod along and seem pointless until you find out later why they mean something, but still, they DRAG. Especially the bit with the Cutwife on the...

    Old issues of MOTOR Magazine are also good original source material.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Indeed, sad day. Those of us who never missed an issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland were huge fans.

    The Fallen of World War II - Well Worth Watching!

    Lizzie, I hope you can seek out a machine that will allow you to watch the video. I think it's very well produced, timed, and presented, with full use of current animation capabilities to make the numbers very real. When the narrator allows silence for the endless climbing of the bar...

    The Fallen of World War II - Well Worth Watching!

    This is so extraordinary! I'm moving it to the Observation Bar where it will hopefully get a lot of attention. (I started a thread of my own, having missed the original by AmateisGal- merged)

    The Fallen of World War II - Well Worth Watching!

    TheFallen of WWII - WELL worth the watch. https://vimeo.com/128373915 This puts the deaths of the war in perspective. The USSR losses are horrifying. A brilliantly produced short film. Watch it. Think of the numbers of people who are not alive today, because the people who would have...

    vintage caps

    I like it a lot. Unusual and practical. Must have been a fairly common late 19th century cap in France/Europe?

    I wish I had better shots of this jacket (which isn't mine). I like the buttons, lapels, sleeve treatment. And the rug.

    Morning Dress for Church?

    This is from Flesh and the Devil, 1927, but it's set in Germany or thereabouts. And it's 1920s, probably Lutheran service. I maintain that following vintage dress in some instances might be perceived as boorish or insensitive. The main question here, I suppose, is the usual dress of your...

    Morning Dress for Church?

    Also see the extensive http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?6761-Formal-Wear-Primer&highlight=formal+wear+primer Formal Wear Primer thread here. I'm on the side of avoiding formal wear for normal church services (weddings, yes -- if you're a participant).
