    The Vintage Camera Club Thread

    Trawling at our local flea market last Sunday, I found an early sixties Japanese fixed-lens rangefinder camera that appeared to be in excellent condition, a Petri 7s. I tried the shutter speeds, aperture, rangefinder, self timer: everything seemed to work, even the around-the-lens Selenium...

    Looking for recommendations for American-made flat/Ivy cap makers

    And B!Wear's caps are outstanding for the price: B!Wear Cap Co. (yosemite.net)

    Leather Police Jackets

    I second that. These jackets are a steal at $99. I got one of their older Chicago models a couple of years back in a clearance sale when they were transitioning to different cowhide. It was $199 when I bought it... which unfortunately then dropped to $99 just a couple of months later. D'oh...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    FF, the one thing you left out of your review of The Americanization of Emily that should be noted is that the adapted screenplay was written by the great Paddy Chayefsky. That's the main reason it's a great movie - not its fairly undistinguished director Arthur Hiller.

    There's also a good documentary about Bowers: Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood - Wikipedia

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Loki on Disney+. I liked it more than The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, but less than WandaVision. Tom Hiddleston is always a hoot in the role, and he gets able support from Owen Wilson, etc. (Of particular interest to old-school Marvel fans like myself, we also get the great Richard E...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    I plead guilty to having ordered a Veg-O-Matic as a gift for my mom when I was a dumb kid. It hardly got used.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Rear Window is my favorite Hitchcock flick, but Vertigo is a close second. I recall seeing it as a kid in the mid-sixties when it first ran on NBC Saturday Night at the Movies... and being really mystified by it compared to other Hitchcock films I'd seen. It's worth recalling that it was NOT...

    Note that there's a sequel: Father's Little Dividend (1951).

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The most recent Woody Allen film, A Rainy Day in New York, on Prime. I cringed through most of it. It's a strong contender for his worst film ever, with yet more weakened replays of plots and characters that were handled far better in his earlier works: Super-rich New Yorkers (the...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The "Batman is his true identity, Bruce Wayne is the disguise" concept only came to foreground in the seventies. After decades of Greatest Generation DC writers (*) began transitioning to younger, college-educated writers who grew up with the character and had thought it all through far more...

    Are there high quality thin leather jackets?

    My "summer weight leather" for 18 years now has been a Wested Raiders in lambskin with an all-cotton lining. It is definitely lighter than the Schott 654 - I've got one of those too - and the Indy design is very flattering, functional, and comfortable. I find I can wear it up into the low 70s...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I am jealous! I've been trying to convince my sister and daughter that we should (re)watch some classic B:TAS episodes, but alas, they never want to.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I dearly love this film, even though I would surely hate the characters if I met any of them in real life. I think most (though not all) of Whit Stillman's films are fascinating, with very sharp writing and acting. Though he is the exact opposite in terms of output (only five films in thirty...

    Show us your photography

    And now for something completely different. Not smartphone or digicam shots, another wave of b/w film pics I shot around Beacon, NY over the last year with my circa-1963 Olympus Pen F half-frame SLR and good old Kodak Tri-X.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Man, The Sandpiper is a real piece of junk. I would have warned you to skip it. I only saw it because I was the right age when it played on TV a couple of years after it was made. Like several other Taylor/Burton films, the story and the direction (hence acting) are bad. (The worst, IMHO...

    That thing you do.

    That Thing You Do! is a charming little film, nicely directed by Tom Hanks, with a fun cast, a sure grip on its mid-60s setting, and some interesting little grace notes that you don't notice on first viewing. (Like The Wonders bass player not having a name; he's only listed as "T.B. Player"!)...

    Couple of new hats Hat People

    Very nice... but note that Hat People has been discussed here for years. Search and you'll find multiple threads about them.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I love The Ten Commandments. I first saw it in the mid-sixties, back when it was rereleased to theaters every few years, long before it became ABC's annual Easter weekend spectacular. I was 12 and studying for my bar mitzvah, and here was an actual JEWISH Biblical epic: Ben Hur is arguably a...
