    Hat color selection

    ptjoe, those are all nice colors. I have a Stylemaster in the Carbon/Steel/Mid-Grey... and you should know that it's quite dark and "reads" as black in anything less than bright lighting, so it could come off as a black hat. The Tawny Fawn is beautiful, I have a Campdraft in the similar Taupe...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Rains of Ranchipur, a mostly terrible mid-fifties melodrama set in postwar India, enlivened by an exciting earthquake/flood sequence. Bad central performances by the likes of Lana Turner, Fred MacMurray, and Michael Rennie, and today's diversity-in-casting-PC-police would go nuts over this...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I have appreciated her since the first time I noticed her, in Casino Royale. She's been a highlight of everything she's been in since, and her fierce, dedicated performances in Penny Dreadful elevated that series from merely interesting to brilliant.

    "Star Trek": 50 years ago today

    Uh... no, Stearman. In "Yesterday's Enterprise" the Ent-C is commanded by Captain Rachel Garrett (who at the time was the first female starship captain appearing in Trek). You're thinking of a different TNG time-travel story, "Cause and Effect", where Kelsey Grammer plays the captain of the...

    Not yet, but I'll be going on Friday or Saturday for sure... By The Seven Rings Of Ragadorr!

    Westworld

    Worf, it's NOT a limited series. HBO has sunk a huge amount of money into it, and - especially after canceling their last prestige hour drama (Vinyl) when it met with a meh response - they hope it will be the big series to carry on when Game of Thrones ends in two years. Of course, they still...

    I think Dark Shadows is an underrated Burton film, I like it a lot. But then, I was one of those folks who rushed home from school everyday to watch DS in the sixties, so I'm already a fan, and I can appreciate all the ways in which Burton shows his love for the original even while taking a...

    Autumnal Thoughts........

    We still had warm weather here until about a week ago. Most of the foliage turned/fell much faster than usual, as everything's severely water-stressed with the near-drought conditions up here too. It's snowing much harder now than when I posted before, but it's supposed to turn to rain when...

    We're having SNOW FLURRIES here right now! In October! This is a solid three or four weeks earlier than usual, and it doesn't bode well for the coming winter...

    What did the film stars of the 1920s-1930s make of the 1950s-1960s?

    I was privileged to see Pete perform several times over the years, and to hang out backstage with him at one of the early Croton Point Park Clearwater Revival Festivals, circa 1982. I have never been in the presence of anybody who had more palpable charisma! He was really something. Talk about...

    What did the film stars of the 1920s-1930s make of the 1950s-1960s?

    Regarding those episodes, I see it part of a larger Twilight Zone trope, the longing for a simpler time in the past. You see it best in the harried executive protagonists in "Walking Distance" and "A Stop at Willoughby" who are (sometimes literally!) dying to get out of the rat race and find...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Those conversations in English in full view of a castle full of Germans bothered me too, but otherwise I thought this was the best episode so far. Sure, it takes a lot of suspension of disbelief and a fluid view of history (which is okay, since they're CHANGING it each week) to accept the...

    Question on hat bashing

    The Haunting is a masterpiece. The original 1963 version directed by Robert Wise. The less said about the godawful remake, the better. Creepy housekeeper Mrs. Dudley: "No one will come any closer than town... In the night, in the dark. No one lives any closer than town. No one will hear you...

    Batman the Animated Series

    I know you're a season behind, but the thing I'm having trouble suspending disbelief on is that he'd ever be able to rise in the GCPD after his already borderline-criminal involvement. Of course, Gotham is such a corrupt city, maybe it's a badge of honor! But I have to say, I prefer the old...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I have to agree that Evan Rachel Wood is giving a tremendous performance on Westworld. For me, it's the clear highlight of the series thus far. Of course, I've been a big fan since she was a young teen on Once and Again. But this role simply wouldn't work at all if the performer couldn't...

    The ladies/teen mall jacket this season is . . .

    I have to agree with everyone who's pointed out that it's M-43/M-65 field jacket-inspired jackets - some sort of green cotton-ish fabric, usually with four flapped pockets, epaulets, inner drawstring, sometimes zipped and sometimes buttoned, etc. - which have been ubiquitous girl and lady...

    Batman the Animated Series

    I find it a very frustrating show. It's quite well-made in a production sense, and while it's very sloppily written, it occasionally hits a story point pretty well... But it never resolves anything: for example, it keeps giving us the same will-Jim-Gordon-finally-go-to-the-dark-side?!? plot...

    The Station Agent is a beautiful little movie with great performances all around. And it marked Peter Dinklage's arrival as a fine actor, that is, to those of us who were already aware of him before Game of Thrones.
