"Childhood's End" - I read a lot of Arthur C. Clarke in Junior High and High School. I read this one many moons ago. Puddin' and I watch this mini-series when it first aired 7 or so years ago. For some reason I got a hankering to watch it again. Didn't remember ANYTHING from the first two...
I liked this show when it first came out. Puddin' and I binged it. However there's been no word on any follow up seasons and that's a bummer. Lots of scores were aching for settlement after WWII and we know full well what people will do to survive.

Yes Rachel was a true wonder but I'm still in the Ursula Andres camp myself.... still that's like choosing between gold covered platinum and platinum covered gold. Sigh.....

Great songwriter, arranger and producer. Lucky man to have found a great lyricist, Hal David, and muse, Dionne in his career. Amazing range of talent. Who could imagine one person writing "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", "North to Alaska" AND "Walk on By" plus "The Look of Love"? Whatta...
I found it enjoyable. Plenty of twists and villains to loathe. Craig's "Southern" accent sounds more like "Foghorn Leghorn" than any white southerner I've ever met... Still in all I found it a fun watch. You could pay more and do worse.

A few of my uncles on my Mom's side served in WWII. Afterwards the last thing they wanted was anything that reminded them of their service. They kept uniforms in the closet but never wore any gear. Everyone of my brother's generation wore M-65 Jackets though...

Man... this one hurts. HD along with Peacoat and a few others welcomed me with open arms when I first joined this site many moons ago. Funny, honest and a class act all round. He'll be missed. Man this stinks....

WOW! What a thread. Wish I had the frame to carry off this style. My mind is blown! Would you say that in the pre-war (WWII) the idea was function over form or vice versa? Moleskin is amazing in its durability. My keyboard is covered in drool. Thanks so much for sharing everybody!

"The Last of Us" - This Netflix offering is based on popular video game series. Man and girl try to survive a "different" zombie apocalypse this time. In a different timeline the outbreak starts in 2003. The show then jumps ahead to 2023 and shows a United States awash in mutated humans with...
"Megan" - Another good time spent at the movies. If you've seen any of the trailers.. you know what to expect. If not, the story is pretty simple. A female engineer at a toy company develops a walking, talking, thinking and learning A.I. doll. When her sister and her husband are killed in a...
"RRR" - I've never seen a complete "Bollywood" or "Tollywood"(sp) movie save "Slumdog Millionaire" which barely qualifies as it only has one dance number and its at the end of the film. RRR is one part bromance, two parts Blaxploitation, a jigger of real drama, one truly amazing dance number...
I've seen this film several times over the years and love it. Their transformations from "frump" and "cold tea" to Sailors for King and Country is remarkable and, in some ways, quite believable. As any veteran and I'm sure they'll tell of going through boot or serving with someone who was...
At home yes.... in the house... rarely. Only if I get a new or "new to me" jacket do I wear it around the house. I will switch jackets during the day since I'm retired. This morning I wore a Filson "Tin Cloth" chore coat because of a bit of morning drizzle. This afternoon I wore a horsehide...
