10 Favorite Opening Film Credits
"CRASH" by David Cronenberg, starring James Spader ... .... not the indentically-titled racial conflict film. Weird, metallic lettering, all cracked. Brilliant credits, brilliant and freakish film.- Dr Doran

Yet Another My Custom Tailor Suit
Are you sure you cannot simply hitch the trousers higher? Are you wearing them low on your waist? Try that before getting them tailored. I'm sure you know this already, but just in case you don't: old suits were worn very, very high by today's standards. On many men, the waistband is worn a few... -
Yet Another My Custom Tailor Suit
Looks quite good to me. Personally I like sleeves shorter on a jacket. The "skirt" of the jacket is a little long, but it looks to me as though it is in the acceptable range. The long end of the range, but within the range. Lapels look great. The trousers are long but that's a quick fix. I can... -

Actually you are right. People will take it the wrong way if it is a list. Sorry if I came off too curt! Venn diagram has my support.- Dr Doran

Retro-extremists? What are we called?
No class stratification here, only descriptions of type of involvement. Category of atavism, category of great interest and expertise, category of loose interest. If I meant the chart to indicate greatness vs badness wouldn't I have put myself in the top category? I didn't. I put myself in the...- Dr Doran

Retro-extremists? What are we called?
Eh, there are all stripes here. I'm an atheist ex-punk (was a punk from about 1986 until about 1993) and there are long debates between myself and the (many) Christians here on one "what is your religion?" thread, and no one ever made me feel unwelcome or verbally abused me or even behaved...- Dr Doran

Jack, let's write the damn Wikipedia thing already Jack, I tell you what. Let's write the article. You write it or you and I write it, just to get it up there now. I'm surprised that book "Swing" by Vale isn't already discussed up on Wikipedia because that book more or less does what you...- Dr Doran

Retro-extremists? What are we called?
Of course you are right, but my general value system allows for a small percentage of variance from what is ideally right on some rare occasions. (I figure it is more realistic to allow for this when it does happen, rather than to insist that it must never ever ever happen.) Conflicts happen...- Dr Doran

Did the thought of physical violence occur to you? In my opinion it might have been quite apropos. No, I do not believe that it is ALWAYS wrong to knock the ____ out of someone.- Dr Doran

Retro-extremists? What are we called?
I really, really don't think you are right about this. I think everyone has heard the term anachronistic. It gets used. People will say it once in a while on sitcoms and other forms of popular media. I think anyone who doesn't know this word is really, really ignorant. My low opinion of the...- Dr Doran

Retro-extremists? What are we called?
Objections: a.) "Lifestyle Periodist" may sound too menstrual "Atavist" sounds too weird "Lifestyle Atavist" sounds too omophagist (raw meat eating) or else too S&M -- fine for some of us who also have a profile on fetlife.com (now I know that all of you are going to look for mine...- Dr Doran

Retro-extremists? What are we called?
And you think "atavist" would be better? "Oh, I see. You eat raw meat." If they even had the slightest idea of to what constellation of ideas the word referred. "Anachronist" could be a delightful conversation starter. "No, I'm not an anarchist. I'm a royalist, actually. I'm an anachronist...- Dr Doran
