Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?
I still regularly buy Eight O'Clock coffees at my local WalMart and ShopRite here... and they're generally cheaper than they were at A&P! But I haven't seen the Bokar variety in a while. My standard varieties are the ground French Roast for rushed workday morning use, and whole bean Central...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I'm no Believer, but I recently watched this... in disbelief. It comes off like CSI: Judea! Re Kevin Reynolds, I'm not sure why you're surprised. His filmography includes plenty of dreck.- Doctor Strange

Painting Nose Art on an A-2
TXFlyGuy, I just want to point out that there are MANY of us here who have no interest in acquiring vintage jackets or hats. I'm one of the earliest members of this forum (#192), and every jacket and hat that I've had I've bought new. I don't wear other used clothing, and I have never been...- Doctor Strange

Famous People in Flight Jackets
At the time that film came out, I seem to recall a lot of noise that he was wearing the very same A-2 that Bob Crane wore in Hogan's Heroes. Check this out: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298744/trivia I think there was a discussion here at some point about what kind of A-2 it is. Try searching.- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
I'm most of the way through Luke Cage. It's in the same league as Jessica Jones and Daredevil - with a quite different look and feel - but it shares the familiar Netflix show problem of feeling dragged out. As with the others, I feel like this story would work better if it had been tightened...- Doctor Strange

What hat have you owned the longest?
Of my current hats, a Stetson "Napa" panama from about 2002/2003, and several Akubras (Stockman, Cattleman, Stylemaster) from around 2006/2007. I recently sold a Stetson Temple dating back to 2001, which had been the oldest one in the rotation. But I also have a box of hats from the hat...- Doctor Strange

I was already aware of Carol Kaye's career for a while too; this film was on my to-see list for years. Thanks, I'll have to check out the Muscle Shoals film. Another worthwhile documentary in this mini-genre is Standing in the Shadow of Motown.- Doctor Strange

The Wrecking Crew, a fascinating documentary about a varying group of Los Angeles studio musicians who played on a simply unbelievable number of hit records and TV soundtracks in the sixties. They coalesced as the backing group in Phil Spector's Wall of Sound records(!), and went on to play on...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I acknowledge that it's a classic, but I simply don't enjoy watching it. There are plenty of Hawks films, and screwball comedies, I love. But not this one. And I never liked Christopher Reeve's cartoonish, too-broad Clark Kent (give me the more mature George Reeves version, someone that...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I lost track of when I first heard about this (probably in Vito Russo's book?), but even the film's Wiki page includes this section: Unscripted ad-lib by Grant[edit] It is debated by some whether Bringing Up Baby is the first fictional work (apart from pornography) to use the word "gay" in a...- Doctor Strange

Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?
It's not just women who have difficulty dating later on. I've been divorced since 2001, and though I've dated on and off, I haven't been able to get into a relationship that survived more than a couple of months. My observation is that when you're young and in thrall to the Life Force, you...- Doctor Strange

That scene is pointed to constantly as one of the first uses of "gay" in its current meaning. That is, he's saying exactly what it sounds like - and it's a surprise to hear it in 1938. Personally, I do not like this film AT ALL. Sure, I love Grant and Hepburn... but in Holiday, not Bringing Up...- Doctor Strange

No more flashy yellow shirt and huge chain for a belt. But he still says "Sweet Christmas!" I realized the one thing I should have added to my comments about Jessica Jones... It is much rougher and scarier than you might expect. There are some seriously disturbing aspects of the story, but...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
I liked Jessica Jones a lot. It's the rare Marvel character/story I had no clue about before watching, since the character was introduced long after my comics-reading days. Like some other Netflix series, it's a bit padded and uneven - it would probably have worked better as a 10-episode...- Doctor Strange

This is also true of Mia Wasikowska, Ruth Wilson, and virtually every other actress who's played Jane - even suitably de-glammed, they're too attractive! As I've said here many times, the Fontaine/Welles film is my favorite adaptation by a huge margin. Sure, it's not entirely faithful to the...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Frenchman's Creek (1944), a Restoration-set costume drama where a lord's wife (Joan Fontaine) dallies with a French pirate (Mexican actor Arturo de Cordova) on the Cornish coast. Not a good film, though it's nice to see young Fontaine in Technicolor, and it's always a pleasure whenever Basil...- Doctor Strange
