What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I liked that film. That is, I liked it compared to most of Noah Baumbach's films, some of which I've turned off in disgust after ten minutes. (Less than five minutes in the case of his Netflix film The Meyerowitz Stories!) His characters are always selfish, self-absorbed, nasty caricatures...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human - a strange little mockumentary from 1999 in which an offscreen alien narrator (David Hyde Pierce) interprets, and frequently misinterprets, an average American couple's first meeting, dating experiences, pregnancy, etc. Pretty much a one-joke idea that...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
Don't get wrong, I still really enjoy The Flash, but I'm not seeing a great return to form this season. I agree that it's a nice change not having another speedster big bad - that definitely got old - but I'm not loving DeVoe either. At this point, there have been so many changes to the...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Jon Hamm's weak post-Mad Men career has indeed been a surprise. He's got it all - looks, acting chops, charisma - yet he does dreck like Million Dollar Arm and Keeping Up with the Joneses. Re Friends With Kids, I saw it... and promptly totally forgot it. I didn't have a violent reaction like...- Doctor Strange

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Oh, I also felt it was always too big for me! That was another reason I sold mine. I replaced it with a Taupe Fawn Campdraft, which is a better color for me, and despite having similar dimensions, it doesn't seem like too much hat.- Doctor Strange

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
If you want a greenish Indy hat, look for the old Akubra Fed III in Mid-Brown. One of the reasons I eventually sold mine was that color's distinct greenish cast. Aside from a couple of OD jackets, I don't wear anything in the green family (and little in the tan/khaki range), so that...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Wonderstruck, the latest from Todd Haynes - a director I once really liked whose recent films have increasingly disappointed me. And I hated this one. Sure, like all his work it looks absolutely beautiful, but the story is hopelessly contrived and totally unbelievable. One impossible...- Doctor Strange

"The Alienist" - Who's Watching?
I am, I mentioned it over on the TV show thread. And so far I'm a bit disappointed with it vs. my memory of the novel... apart from Luke Evans amazing hat. Addendum: Interesting article about the production: http://www.vulture.com/2018/01/the-alienist-recreated-1896-new-york-in-budapest.html- Doctor Strange

Indiana Jones V
Guys, in a lifetime of Bat-fandom and Bat-scholarship, I've never read anywhere that the 1966 series was "loosely based on the forties serials". Can someone point me to a source for this? Those serials were long forgotten until they got a rushed theatrical release after the TV show became a...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
The first episode of TNT's adaptation of The Alienist. I'd read the book years ago and don't recall it very well... but so far, something seems off about this adaptation. The story moves too fast with sledgehammer reveals (for a book that was largely about a more measured and cerebral...- Doctor Strange

DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects
Oh, no! She was literally my favorite contemporary author. The world is a lesser place without another Le Guin book to look forward to. The Earthsea books, The Left Hand of Darkness, The Dispossessed, The Word for World is Forest, The Lathe of Heaven, and so many other wonderfully written and...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Another highly praised current film on Netflix: Mudbound. Honestly, it did nothing for me. It heavy handedly telegraphed (I guess I could be charitable and say "foreshadowed") everything that was coming, and didn't add much that we hadn't already seen in many other stories about southern farm...- Doctor Strange

US Authentic A-2 Jacket Review!
Yeah, as somebody who's been involved since 2001, I've watched in shock as leather jacket prices have gone up WAY faster than most other products. I am not surprised by the artisan custom makers using premium hides and making jackets to size for specific customers, but that off-the-rack Schott...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
The first episode of the second season of High Maintenance, the HBO series that uses a guy (only referred to as "the Guy") who delivers marijuana around NYC by bike as a link to tell stories about different characters - mostly his customers - in each episode. I found the first season to be hit...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Ooh, I'm dying to see that one, but it's not yet playing near me. Love Del Toro. Love Sally Hawkins. Love Richard Jenkins and Michael Shannon. And of course, I love fantasy/SF. This one ticks all my boxes, and I have yet to hear from anyone who's seen it that hasn't been mightily impressed.- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
A recent film that I'd classify as a fascinating failure, The Love Witch, on Amazon Prime. The film's look and plot carefully echo what you'd see in a 1970 horror film from Hammer or AIP, even though it takes place in the present. The costumes, hair and makeup, sets, cars, etc. are all...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Big Sick, one of last year's most lauded films, on many best-of lists. Okay, so it's based on events that really happened to its writers... but it played to me like a pretty standard sick-girlfriend TV movie. Didn't live up to its rep, IMHO.- Doctor Strange
