    Glaring Film Gaffs! (Or: The Dry Look in 1917?)

    I've seen a couple of westerns (and other period films) with jet contrails up overhead.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I almost didn't want to tell you about this one, but last night HBO aired the documentary 'Inside Deep Throat.' It didn't really dwell on the making of the film itself, but about its impact on American culture in the 1970s. It was the 'in' thing to go see it. It was cool for Hollywood stars to...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Early this morning was Sam Peckinpah's 'Straw Dogs' (1971) with Dustin Hoffman. Since I'd never seen it or read about it I was thinking it was going to be a western....[huh] . It gets pretty violent at the end (in slow motion).

    strangest, weirdist or just plain wrong toy from your youth

    I had some sort of 007 movie camera that when you pulled the camera trigger a gold bullet would come out the lens. I remember having an 'attache' case that contained a play sniper rifle that you'd put together just like a REAL one...even had a silencer!:cool:

    Liberty Heights

    The James Brown concert was filmed in a historic theater in my town. When the movie was shown it was sort of wierd sitting there and watching it from point of where the camera filmed it from.

    The Complicated Human Species

    What I learned from the History Channel: The ancient Romans used toothpaste formulations based on human urine. Since urine contains ammonia, it was probably effective in whitening teeth. Do you think such a product would sell today?:D

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I watched 'Stay' (2005) with Ewan Mcgregor. I'm going to have to watch it again to figure out what the heck was going on. Although he looks good wearing it, McGregor's wardrobe was all Thom Browne....not exactly my taste.

    Have you flown in a vintage aeroplane?

    During a press day for an air show in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, some years back I got strapped to the top wing of a Stearman biplane and flew around. The pilot wouldn't let me take my camera with me, though. My dad was there, too, and he told me afterwards not to tell my mom what I just did.lol I...

    Rolled up shirt sleeves

    Ah, no. That's not how it looks. I guess I'll have to take a photo.

    Rolled up shirt sleeves

    I do too. Folded up about three-quarters of an inch twice. I believe that's how it was done in the 1950s. It even makes a plain t-shirt look vintage.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Last evening I watched 'Far From Heaven,' a 2002 film starring Julianne Moore and Dennis Quaid. Set in 1957, they are a picture-perfect Father Knows Best-type family with some dark secrets (the husband is really gay and the wife has become a close friend of a black man...very 1950s taboo)...

    Thanks MD.:) I tell you, though, finding vintage suits in my town is very few and very far between.

    I'm a bit off center in the self-portrait wearing my latest thrift store purchase...a fifty year-old black wool suit. Those are just reading glasses I'm wearing to make myself look like a serious New York business man (the complete opposite of what I'm really like).;) [/IMG]

    Late 50's early 60's

    I found this mid to late 50s black wool suit last week at a local thrift store. It is in mint condition. The pants need shortened a bit so that's why I'm not showing myself head to toe. The lapel is about three inches at its widest and the center vent is about seven inches. The necktie is the...

    What are you wearing today??

    I guess I was really wearing this today, but I was putting away the summer clothes and getting out my autumn stuff. [/IMG]

    Show us your TIES

    Digging around for some autumn ties I didn't realize how many mid-50s ones I had. They probably came out in 1953 and the style lasted for around five years or so until the ties really narrowed down. [/IMG] [/IMG]
