"War of the Worlds" - 1953 - I know that the remakes "Tripods" are more as described in the book (which I've read several times) but George Pal's FXs in this one are timeless. Gene Barry's alright in the lead, fluctuating between sheer terror and giddy nerdlike fascination with the Martian...
YIKES! You have to have a truck load of cool to wear that one out in public! Unless you're going to "Da Playa's Ball" or some other similar function.... Still it's one helluva jacket!

"The Abominable Dr. Phibes" - Finally saw this ole chestnut on Svengoolie from a couple of weeks ago. I'd seen bits and pieces of the sequel but never the original. As for the good doctor... as they said in one of my fave Sci-Fi flicks "I can tell that where he comes from they sure don't breed...
Puddin' still continues to work her way through "The Vikings". All her bloodthirsty viewings of late have me sleeping with one eye open. We watched the first 4 episodes of "The Boys". Just when you think they can't push the envelope any farther... they do... they push the envelope to the point...
No we never called our nascent "Special Forces" "Commandos". Commando is a South African term adopted by the British after the Boer War. America used the term "Rangers" first during WWII I believe. There were several Ranger Battalions formed during WWII as well as one combined...
Your review of this film and how it's insights touched you leads me to suspect some personal knowledge about the lives and trials of "outsiders" and "also rans". Outstanding....

Puddin' and I watched the original series and loved it... however we thought the movie, which we saw at the local art house, was awful.... A dreadful bore of a time. I had to be rib jabbed several times to prevent snoring. I'm gonna give the new one a hard pass.

Thanks for the solid info. As I've said many times before you folks are the best! Aces all round in my book. I will have to go the test jacket route then probably go custom. Thanks for helping me out with the knowledge. I'd assumed a 2XL would be large enough or even swimming on me, but I...
Just got the itch... AGAIN for the first time in many many years. Went to Thurston Bros. website and, since getting down to about a size 48 I've begun looking at some of their other stock items besides Aero which I've plenty of and would like something different. In that I've never owned or...
If that's the biggest mistake you made that day you're ahead of the game. It's also gratifying to see someone who's clearly into film ask for a Mulligan from time to time. Some folks (NOT me) can't ever admit to an error. I'm just so used to you being so detailed and knowledgeable that your...
Like most big guys... I'm pretty peaceful. I NEVER go looking for trouble. As my dad used to say...
"Boy.... don't go looking for trouble... You sit still long enough and it'll find you!"

It started with me trying to be comfortable in upstate New York winters. I started out with leather car coats. Then I caught the A2 bug and it all flowed from there. I cut an imposing figure without a leather, but in leather with a cap or hat I'm practically terrifying! After losing almost...
Continuing with her penchant for watching ravagement, rape and pillage.... Puddin, after binging "The Last Kingdom" , is now watching "The Vikings" until the wee hours of the AM. I'm an ex-soldier and kinda rough around the edges and I just don't get her fascination with all the mayhem!!!! She...
"Pennyworth" on HBO Max. Halfway through the second season and we're both enjoying this "Origin Story" of Batman's Butler. Interesting take on Bruce's parents as well. Thomas Wayne has been taking a beating in some recent films and in this show. Not exactly of sterling character. Still it's...
