What was the last TV show you watched?
The new four-part Starz/BBC miniseries adaptation of Howards End written by Kenneth Lonergan, starring Hayley Atwell. I waited until all the parts had aired so I could watch it in two sittings. And I recently watched the classic Merchant-Ivory film with Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins - which...- Doctor Strange

What hat are you waiting for today?
That's one of the reasons I'm getting it. I've been using my (Glen Grey) Stockman as my cool-weather hiking hat and (Sand) Cattleman as my warm-weather hiking hat for around 11 years. The Leisure Time will coordinate with my brown/tan/OD jackets better than the Stockman. But I also selected...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
My son and I went yesterday. While I'm primarily blown away - this is the movie that my inner 12 year-old comics geek has been hoping for for 50 years! - I have some mixed feelings. First, a complaint common to nearly all comic book films: Though all the battle scenes are awesome, I'd have...- Doctor Strange

What hat are you waiting for today?
I've also got a new Akubra in transit, a Leisure Time in Regency Fawn. I got the ship notice from EA over a week ago, so I expect it to turn up in the next couple of days. This will be my first new country hat in over a decade... though there have been some fedoras in between.- Doctor Strange

Schott, right?
Definitely a Schott 674. But it's not necessarily that old. I had one exactly like it that I bought new in 1984 or 85:- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
On Dangerous Ground - an interesting 1951 noir with Robert Ryan and Ida Lupino, directed by Nicholas Ray. Music by the great Bernard Herrmann... though not his best work: more like his quickly knocked out Twilight Zone episode scores than his classic feature scores. Ryan is a hard-boiled...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Noah's Ark - a 1928 part-talkie recently DVR'd from TCM. Two-thirds of the film takes place before and during WWI, with most of the last act being a whacked-out version of the Bible story with the lead actors playing additional roles. About 80% silent with intertitles, with a few (obviously...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
No, we haven't heard from Pamela Adlon since her initial statement. And of course, I totally understand why FX wants to distance Better Things from CK - it's a major critical hit and award-nom generator that's building an audience, and they want to keep his association quiet now that he's been...- Doctor Strange

Things that are "More Vintage" than you realised....
People think of miniaturization as a design trend of the 60s and 70s, but the tiny Minox "spy camera" was invented in the 30s in Latvia! This is a model III-s from 1956. The design was improved and perfected in Germany in the 50s... In time to make these babies hot sellers during the 60s...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
Westworld season premiere... I wasn't crazy about it last season, and this season - which has ramped up the violence and dropped most of the vaguely interesting philosophical issues - looks like it's gonna be even less my kind of show. But boy, HBO has spent a bundle on it and looks great.- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
I like all these shows, but it's not really fair to compare High Maintenance - pretty much an anthology show that mostly focuses on different characters/situations in each episode, merely using The Guy as the connection (<= pun intended!) - with ongoing dramatic stories a la Girls or Better...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Lizzie, I was once a passionate fan of Wes Anderson's films... but he lost me a while ago. Rushmore, The Royal Tennenbaums, Fantastic Mr. Fox - wacky, but sharply observed human drama. A couple of weaker ones didn't change my feeling that he was onto something interesting. But from Moonrise...- Doctor Strange

Name the Actor...
Not the actor off hand - Leave It To Beaver was a little before my time. But the film is Alfred Hitchcock's The Trouble With Harry.- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
The new two-part Elvis documentary on HBO. I've never been much of a fan - by the time I got into pop music, he had made all those awful movies and was well into the fat old Elvis phase - but the doc made some good arguments for his musical and social importance. And how Colonel Parker's...- Doctor Strange

She spent most of her service at El Toro Marine Base in California, and raised to the rank of sergeant. She mostly worked in the machine shop, on parts for Corsair planes. Like so many WWII vets, she didn't dwell on her time in the service or talk about it much with us. Some of the things...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
Okay, I watched GI Jews, and it was indeed excellent. I was very moved by the end. I had two very minor, strictly personal complaints: In discussing Jewish women in service, they mentioned the Army, Navy, and nurses... but not the Marines, which was my mom's branch! And in the outstanding...- Doctor Strange
