    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I also watched Outlaw King a while ago. I agree with you guys: underwhelming.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I didn't like The Lobster or Dogtooth at all, so I've been avoiding subsequent films directed by Lanthimos. I agree it's got an interesting cast... but I expect to be seriously underwhelmed, so The Favourite is clearly a wait-for-cable film for me. Of course, the intersection of art films and...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    For my film discussion group... Nocturama - a recent French film about a gang of young people who detonate bombs around Paris, then hide out in a department store after. Eh, I thought it was too long and seemingly pointless. Oddly, the filmmakers have no interest in explaining why these kids...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    As I've said before, I basically hate-watch the show to see how it abuses the Trek legacy, but I can't stop. I thought last week's episode (with Ed and the Krill spy disguised as human on the run) was actually pretty good. That is, I liked that it followed up well on the continuity from last...

    Taupe Fawn under fluorescent light. (Jacket: Gibson & Barnes M-422A.)

    Scotch tape

    Let us not forget that the original reason that the word "Scotch" was attached to this product was because, unlike moistened gummed tape, this adhesive could (sometimes) be lifted up and reused... an economical, money-saving feature. It was "Scotch" because of the pervasive stereotype that all...

    N-1 Deck jacket that won’t break the bank. Help!

    What about At the Front? I have a couple of their army jackets (tanker, M-41) and think they're very good for the price. https://www.atthefrontshop.com/product_p/usnun1.htm

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The 1952 adaptation of My Cousin Rachel with Olivia de Havilland and Richard Burton... as a comparison to the recent version with Rachel Weisz and Sam Claflin, which I'd watched a few weeks ago. The older version is more a noir-ish crime drama with an overbearing score that constantly amps...

    Vintage Hoodie

    As far as when they were introduced... I don't recall seeing zipper hooded sweatshirts anywhere before the very end of the seventies or early eighties. At least, that's when they began showing up in department and sporting goods stores. And it seemed like a genius invention at the time, it was...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Hmm, I didn't find their accents especially objectionable. But I have to agree that the show's characterizations aren't exactly, um, subtle. In my experience, the intensity of the inland NYS twang varies a lot depending on what part of the state you're from: maybe they were supposed to be the...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Interesting that you liked the final sequence in Luke Cage... personally, I was surprised and quite WTF?!? about it. Also the final sequence in season 2 of Iron Fist, the same thing. In both cases, it looked like the heroes had turned into nearly their precise antithetical opposites, leaving...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Edward - Nope, Cranston's seemingly not dead in Wakefield, just going through, um, SOMETHING. Agreed that Ewan McGregor in the SW prequels was an outstanding choice to play young Alec Guinness (he's also pretty believable as the younger Albert Finney in Big Fish). But in a way, he's a...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Z for Zachariah - 2015 post-apocalyptic story where three people who miraculously escaped dying struggle to set themselves up as the new Adam and Eve, plus one... which of course doesn't work out. Though based on an allegedly "original" 70s novel, it's a virtual remake of The World, the Flesh...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Edward, I'm with you on nearly everything, except that I think Ehrenreich is a good actor (have you seen him in the Coens' Hail Caesar! ?), and really, anyone who'd be playing young Han is stuck in a terrible, nigh-impossible position. And like you, I will NEVER call the original Star Wars that...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Solo: A Star Wars Story on Netflix. Ersatz Star Wars flick with some exciting moments, but its invented backstory for Han Solo doesn't really add much that we especially needed to know. There's some fun in seeing how Han met Chewbacca and Lando, and how he got his hands on the Millennium...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    "Hand" refers to the softness/smoothness feel of the felt. You'll see the same term is also frequently used in other forums here for jacket/etc. fabrics and leather: an indication of how pleasing the material's feel is to the touch.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    There is currently very little hope for any of the Netflix Marvel series. Disney is launching their own streaming service later this year, Disney+, and it will eventually be the main (and in some cases, only) outlet for content from all the Disney-owned producers. That includes Marvel Studios...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Roma on Netflix. It's a remarkable, unique film... but it's also clearly what we used to call an art film. I found it at times to be reminiscent of the Fellini/Bergman/Kurosawa/etc. films of the fifties and sixties (which is among the highest praise I can offer). Netflix can promote it as...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    My parents - both of whom had served in WWII - felt the same way when the series was running when I was a kid. We were Jewish, and it was the height of the NEVER AGAIN! Holocaust movement in Jewish communities, so anything involving a German prison camp was no subject for comedy. My sister and...

    Why did men stop wearing hats?
