    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Supergirl, which suddenly finds itself being more politically relevant than when it was written and shot. The plot of last night's episode was about Lex Luthor's mother defying the show's (female) US president's policy of welcoming (space) alien immigrants and refugees, sending out her private...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    It's awful that this makes Ben Mankiewicz the senior host on TCM, as my issues with him go beyond just a lack of gravitas. Osborne's observations were always interesting, and since he was a true Hollywood insider, were often little-known tidbits that never showed up elsewhere. In contrast, I...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Oh, no! Robert Osborne, TCM stalwart! http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2017/03/06/tcm-host-robert-osborne-dies-at-84.html http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/robert-osborne-dead-turner-classic-movies-host-was-84-727070

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Yeah, The Flash has had problems this season with redundant plot points (don't they all know by now that withholding ANY info from ANY of the others always causes problems?!?), instances of bad effects work (what's the point of doing Gorilla City if you can't do it WELL?), and too many regular...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    X-Men Apocalypse. Terrible, a new low for the series (though X-Men Origins: Wolverine is still the worst). Wastes Oscar Isaac as the titular villain, yet another I-must-destroy-the-world-to-improve-it monster buried under tons of prosthetic makeup whose powers and origin are entirely...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The fourth episode of Legion, which continues to be a fascinatingly different and challenging variation on the now overly familiar superhero-discovering-his-powers trope. (*) Dan Stevens is going to be a huge star after Beauty and the Beast makes a gazillion dollars, but he's also giving an...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Sausage Party. Nowhere near as clever as the reviews indicated. A one- or two-joke idea beaten into the ground, overflowing with embarrassingly outdated stereotypes. I laughed occasionally, but its religion-blinds-people-from-seeing-the-horror-of-it-all-and-keeps-them-in-line allegory, while a...

    Oscars were horrible

    I've been an every-year viewer since I was a kid in the mid-60s, but I skipped watching the Oscars broadcast this year. Mostly because I hadn't seen most of the nominated films and didn't have any strong feelings about them. Seems like it was the right decision.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I only made it 20 minutes into the first episode of Big Little Lies. Famous cast, lavish production... but a thoroughly uninteresting-bordering-on-reprehensible bunch of annoyingly super-privileged characters. I had high hopes for the series, but it turned me off immediately. I liked the...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I watched a couple of more episodes of Stranger Things, now halfway through the season. I still think it's insanely overrated.

    F/S: Vintage Schott Cherry Russet Leather G-1 in size 40, 22.5 in p2p

    It's not a G-1, guy. It's a classic 674, which combines aspects of the A-2 and G-1. The older version that doesn't have the G-1 style back, and the permanent pile lining. I had one of these for years. Great jacket, but NOT a G-1.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I'm looking forward to seeing Mr. Holmes when it turns up on my cable system or Netflix. There's also a classic "Elseworlds" Batman story where Batman meets his idol, a very old but well preserved Sherlock Holmes, and they work a case together. Last night's film was A Bigger Splash, where...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    And of course, he was also the voice in the beloved Fleischer Superman cartoons. These were way more visible when I was a kid in the early sixties than the radio shows, as they were shown on many local kiddie TV shows. They were also some of the first films I acquired on Super 8 when I began...

    Did fedoras originate with the "upper class"?

    I was definitely aware of the term "fedora" as a kid hat collector in the mid-sixties. Of course, to my parents' generation it was typically just "hat" with no further specification required. But as the evidence shows, the term goes way back, even if its usage has waxed and waned in different...

    Did fedoras originate with the "upper class"?

    Yo Colonel, this question - and a lot of the things you've been posting - have been discussed here many, many of times. Try doing some searches before you put up a new post like this, the Fedora Lounge is a long-running site with an amazingly vast amount of material.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Kryptonite goes way back, it was introduced on the Superman radio series in 1943: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryptonite Supes hadn't yet reached planet-moving strength levels then, so it wasn't introduced because he was already too invulnerable to conventional methods. That didn't happen...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Some other worthy Rufus Sewell performances that haven't been mentioned: Dark City, The Illusionist, Amazing Grace, Helen of Troy (TV), John Adams (TV, as Alexander Hamilton)

    Favorite Historic Buildings or Places

    I climbed on the Central Park Balto statue when I was a kid in the sixties, then my own kids did decades later. It's a classic!
