    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    I don't think anyone has mentioned master cinematographer Allen Daviau, who did outstanding work with Spielberg, etc.: http://thefilmexperience.net/blog/2020/4/16/beauty-break-the-work-of-allen-daviau-1942-2020.html

    Hoodies, history

    Speaking from my own 65-year-old experience... Hooded sweatshirts go back as far as I recall - here are my parents wearing them on a Cape Cod vacation in 1965. I vaguely remember that we'd all gotten sweatshirts in Provincetown... though they don't say CAPE COD or have any silk screened...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I've been catching up on the HBO miniseries The Plot Against America. It's very well done, but awfully distressing.

    Recent Wested Quality?

    Yeah, I spent time at COW too, back before this place took off. Back then, the recommended "bomb-proof" Indy jacket was the Gibson & Barnes Expedition. Of course, they stopped making it. These days, there seems to be little significant difference across mid-range jackets - US Wings, Schott...

    Recent Wested Quality?

    I once got a US Wings goatskin Indy jacket. I'm usually an XL, but it didn't fit me remotely well (sleeves too long, waist/gut too tight), and I didn't think the hide or lining was anything special. I gave it to a friend. However, I will say this for it: he's worn it through NYC winters for...

    Recent Wested Quality?

    They're lambskin because the original 1980 jackets used when making Raiders were made of lambskin - hey, they were movie wardrobe for shooting in Tunisia. (I got my Wested Raiders in lambskin for that reason, because it was "closest" to the original.) Nobody claims lambskin is the ideal...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I was also annoyed by the film's very slow start and held-too-long shots, but once the ghost appeared I was hooked. As my daughter observed, the long takes and held shots make the film seem longer than its short runtime. Also, as a lifelong old-school photographer and onetime filmmaker, I was...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    A Ghost Story, a film from a couple of years ago with Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck. My daughter and I have lately been catching up on recent horror and horror-adjacent films together - Us, The VVitch, The Babadook, Midsommar, etc. - and this one was a snap decision when we ran across it. I...

    Akubra Campdraft

    Sorry, I have to disagree, I don't see any green in my Taupe Fawn Campdraft. Now the old Federation III in "Mid-Brown" that I used to have... that shade had a major green undertone - it actually looked green rather than brown in some lighting situations. Green isn't a color I wear, I...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Us. I didn't like Get Out, and I liked this one even less. It was well made and had a few scares, but it was thematically underdeveloped and inconsistent within its own "logic". Anyway, it didn't work for me.

    Show us your photography

    Interesting to see the tintype images above. A little tintype portrait studio just opened down the street from me here (Beacon, NY) and I've become friends with the owner - we old-school photographers have to stick together! Speaking of which, here are a couple of FILM images I shot two weeks...

    What Price Glory A-1

    I can't speak to WPG sizing re Medium or Large in the A-1, as my WPG A-2 is a 2XL. But I remain quite impressed with it for its crazy low price. See my A-2 review from last year: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/what-price-glory-replica-a-2-review.96597/

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I was also disappointed in the third episode of Dracula. Not so much by the time jump and the new characters, but by the ultimate explanation it came up with for Dracula's vampirism. No. Just no. But the series was reasonably diverting otherwise.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I also watched the first two eps of the new Dracula last night, I'm always up for another take on this classic story. It's not so much a straight adaptation as a series of riffs on the story, or as they like to say now, "a reimagining". It's no masterpiece, but with its many interesting trope...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The new Star Wars flick. Well... it's a Star Wars flick. (No major spoilers follow, just general comments.) There's continual fan service and a kitchen sink approach - callback after callback to events, plots, characters, and dialog of the other eight "Skywalker saga" films. There's loads of...
