What was the last TV show you watched?
American Gods, which is turning out to be just as good as I hoped - gorgeous, freaky, prodigiously creative, and fearlessly boundary pushing. Ian McShane has been unleashed! Also Silicon Valley and John Oliver, great as usual. A bit off topic... I had really enjoyed this year's new NBC series...- Doctor Strange

I recently watched this too, and loved it. A beautiful little slice-of-life movie with nary a false note.- Doctor Strange

Happy Straw Hat Day
I put away my felt fedoras yesterday. And my A-2 jackets too, we're finally going to get too-warm conditions for them up here this week.- Doctor Strange

I remember enjoying Gargoyles when it first aired. Most made-for-TV movies in that era were essentially forgettable B pics, but there were some occasional standouts.- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Gotta go against the grain here: I enjoy most variations of Frankenstein, but I thought Victor Frankenstein was a worthless mess. Last night I watched the much-praised Manchester by the Sea. I found it over-praised. Too long, way too many landscape atmosphere shots, annoying use of classical...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Jimi: All Is by My Side. A biopic about Jimi Hendrix, but not the whole story, only about the year he spent in London during which he went from being an unknown musician to the cusp of world fame. I wasn't really up on this portion of his biography, so I don't know how accurate the film is...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Europa Report. A serious SF flick about a space mission to explore Jupiter's moon Europa... where bad things happen and the crew must improvise. From the 2001/Mission To Mars/Deep Impact "realistic" school, but on a lower budget and with no happy ending. Recommended for fans of NASA-esque SF...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Your review's right on, if a bit more spoiler-heavy than my brief one. You realize that Roth is nearly the same age as Woody Allen, right? So it's not at all surprising that they exhibit the same degree of Jewish angst and sexual fascinations... They're part of the same generation, raised not...- Doctor Strange

Indignation - recent film adapted from a Phillip Roth novel about a Jewish honor student facing difficulties at a Christian college during the early fifties. A solid, smart drama with two impressive standout scenes: the student (Logan Lerman) confronts the dean (Tracy Letts) over his...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
That was an outstanding final scene... and not just because I spent my formative years in a darkroom! I was also surprised that rather than the usual "tense espionage sequence" earlier in the third act we got... a wedding. Such a brilliant, fascinating, surprising show.- Doctor Strange

Opinions for Alpha MA1's
If you mean their current line available everywhere (vs. their occasional special versions), the quality is fine for ordinary daily use. But there's little about the fit/sizing or materials/construction that's remotely approaching the same plane as original vintage models or good repros. I've...- Doctor Strange

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2... I'm still processing my feelings. Minus the wonderful surprises of the first film (the rare Marvel property I didn't have a long history with, and my knowledge of the initial 70s comics versions of Drax and Gamora didn't help much), this one pushes even harder...- Doctor Strange

Schott 654 Casual Racer
Wow, that's amazing. And I thought I did well when I got mine for $200 off list at a Legendary USA sale! "Softened up"? It's pretty soft mid-weight cowhide. Not like say, the heavy duty naked cowhide on the Schott bomber (674?) I had back in the eighties. It only required a little breaking...- Doctor Strange

Schott 654 Casual Racer
I've got the same jacket in black, also purchased at a good discount. Like you, my other jackets are primarily military. I got this one specifically because I wanted something different, and I've come to really like it. I don't ride either, so this motorcycle-style jacket, which doesn't...- Doctor Strange

Equilibrium - a 2002 SF future dystopia film with Christian Bale. This was downright terrible, with every aspect of the story borrowed from other, better dystopia stories: Most of the plot is lifted directly from Fahrenheit 451: In a future where all feeling, being determined to be the root of...- Doctor Strange

AL CAPONE , which movie was the best portrayal of mr Capone?
My mom was gaga over Ben Gazzara. She loved Run For Your Life, a now forgotten sixties series where he played a man given six months to live who traveled to make the most of his remaining time... and helped troubled folks he met in every episode (a la: Route 66, The Saint, The Fugitive, The...- Doctor Strange

AL CAPONE , which movie was the best portrayal of mr Capone?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Capone#Film_and_television Though he wasn't a close physical match, I enjoyed Stephan Graham in Boardwalk Empire... Though it's not really fair to compare a TV series that ran for years with individual feature films: the added time in a series allows for lots...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
The first episode of American Gods on Starz. I really like the Neil Gaiman novel, and the adaptation is off to a fine start. Ian McShane as Mr. Wednesday is staggeringly perfect casting (I mean: Ian McKellen as Gandalf perfect!) and the production is opulent and fearless. It's gonna be some...- Doctor Strange
