    My Display for Indy 4

    Now that I've got an MK Falcon, I wonder if the MK Fertility Idol might see another run?

    Am I crazy for buying this huge red hat....

    The plastic on the crown makes me think it is not going to be anywhere near as old as 20s 30s, probably more like 70s 80s. It's got a definite 40s glam thing going though, equal parts Carmen Santiago and Lauren Bacall.

    Let's Retire These Movie/TV Plots!

    Absolutely. It's impossible to forget the real Psycho when you're watching the ersatz one. There was a pretty good sequel back in the 80s, though. Much better than you might expect.

    Let's Retire These Movie/TV Plots!

    I agree about remakes, although there are some things that just don't need to be remade, either because the original is so good it would too thoroughly haunt the remake, or because the original was so unspeakably awful that a remake would be an affront to all that is wholesome and fine in...

    A youngers man's Classic Style and women

    Okay, I just saw your bespoke Optimo thread, and I like the way you're combining the classic and the more contemporary. I don't know how anyone could have a problem with that.

    A youngers man's Classic Style and women

    I'm not a young lounger, but I find this interesting. I teach at a college and what I see in my classroom is very, very different from what I recall as a young man of the same age... 18-22. Obviously clothing is just one part of what makes one attractive, there are also status, looks...

    Hats and vintage: With or without Indy?

    Hat and leather jacket look - it's a Natural! Hey, I don't like Big Macs therefore I'm an elitist. shakeshead Movies good or movies bad, whatever... That's for the Moving Picture Forum. Indiana Jones had absolutely nothing to do with my interest at first, and it is annoying to hear...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    This was my very very favourite movie when I was a little gaffer and before I discovered Planet of the Apes. I had the comic too. Cowboys and dinosaurs - what else could a four year old want? I had some plastic dinos and some plastic cowboys from a birthday cake and boy did they rumble.

    Hats and vintage: With or without Indy?

    It may be enthusiasm for the new movie, or it may be that it was always there only I never noticed it, but IJO* seems to be rampant on the boards lately. This combined with what seems to be a tendency away from discussions of vintage or "golden era" clothes and culture has me wondering... Is...

    George Lucas = comedian

    Not at all. Two of the three are much, much worse than merely quite lame.

    Will Elder, MAD founder, dead at 86

    I love so much of his stuff, the Mad comic parodies, Little Annie Fanny and Goodman Beaver included, but my favourite, favourites are the movie parodies he did for Help!, especially the Frankenstein parody. Funny, heck yeah, but also a beautiful chaos of cross-hatching arriving, somehow, at a...

    George Lucas = comedian

    At the risk of putting one more Indiana Jones thread into a forum already chock full of Indiana Jones threads here's a little article that made me laugh, then cry, then laugh again: Indy 5...Minus the Indy?? I want just one little taste of whatever George Lucas is smoking. The sorry part...

    I'm I missing something? Whippet? Really?

    That's it. I bet there are far more people on the FLounge who've beniftted from badly listed/described items that have fallen victim to them. I've found a few beauties languisihing unnoticed because they were described/listed as top hats. Maybe I should have done the right thing, but...
