DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects
Master magician Mark Wilson: News From ME - Mark Evanier's blog I'm sure many of us of a certain age fondly recall his Saturday morning kids show in the early sixties as our major introduction to stage magic. I was definitely fascinated and inspired by it... and a decade later I was a teenage...- Doctor Strange

Akubra discontinued hats
Uh, David Morgan never had the Federation line. It's always been exclusive to Hats Direct. For that matter, David Morgan never had close to all the Akubra models, just a subset. You should always look to the Australian dealer sites for a better idea of the current lineup. And for info of...- Doctor Strange

Most overrated movies?
Note that, in the same way that those two volcano disaster films and two asteroid-strikes-earth films came out at virtually the same time, Capote has a doppelganger in Infamous (2006). The identical story - how Truman Capote and Harper Lee went to Kansas and researched In Cold Blood - but...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
B:TAS will always be my favorite adaptation of Batman by a mile. I was lucky enough to have little kids when the series first aired, and therefore an excuse to watch it as an adult who'd been a comics fan since the sixties. I've had the DVDs since they first came out. Paul Dini, Bruce Timm...- Doctor Strange

Akubra Overload
Recent selfie in my Regency Fawn Leisure Time (and circa-2006 ATF tanker jacket). I think of the Regency Fawn as a "brown" color, but it's an odd grayish-brown shade that reads as gray in some lighting.- Doctor Strange

Most overrated movies?
Agreed that he's pushing it a bit in The Spirit of Saint Louis and Vertigo (also Bell, Book and Candle), but the movie role that Jimmy Stewart was REALLY too old for is "just out of law school" Ranse Stoddard in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Of course, the film remains a timeless...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
You got it right, but I have some additional notes on this film... No "The" in the title. As his career went on, Hitchcock enjoyed creating filmmaking limitations for himself - like in Lifeboat, where the entire film is set on a lifeboat at sea - and the key challenge for him with Rope was to...- Doctor Strange

Boater recommendations?
Crown height isn't usually a variable on boaters, is it? Sometimes you can choose between a 2" or 3" brim, or different color ribbons, but I don't think I've ever seen a choice of heights. And I've been interested in boaters a long time - this me circa 1967:- Doctor Strange

Boater recommendations?
That Scala boater isn't even properly constructed - too thin, and maybe even floppy rather than hard. You want something more like this: DelMonico Boater Straw Hat (delmonicohatter.com) Bencraft Hats | Shop Boater by Tesi Hats and Caps- Doctor Strange

And there's my problem with streaming video. Nothing on the internet is permanent. Five years downstream, and in any given list, lots of URLs no longer work.

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Mank. I was underwhelmed. For all its good acting and technical virtuosity, let me echo something that FF said above: This movie is actually so far inside thirties Hollywood that, while it's fun for someone like me who knows Kane backwards and forwards, and has read biographies of Welles...- Doctor Strange

The Old Guard on Netflix.

What was the last TV show you watched?
I saw an art documentary that suggested that our unending fascination with the court of Henry VIII (*) was, besides all the important history and drama of that period, due to Hans Holbein's paintings. Stunning images that capture the personalities of all the major players - Henry, the wives...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
The new FX/BBC miniseries adaptation of Black Narcissus with Gemma Arterton and Alessandro Nivola. Since Powell & Pressburger's 1947 masterpiece is one of my favorite films, I was curious to check it out. It's good, though it doesn't do much with its additional length. Most of the narrative...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
No, it's not an exciting film, but it's an odd, interesting one. The idea of Greenwich Village cults, and the moody dread of the film, were something new at the time. You didn't mention Val Lewton - the producer who was responsible for this run of low-budget but very intelligent thrillers at...- Doctor Strange
