    What the heck does Jughead wear?

    I used to have a very cheap red felt hat like jughead's when I was a little guy. My dad got it for me, though I have no idea where he found it. I pinned on buttons I'd collected. I remember finding the hat as a teen and seeing that one of the buttons was a marijuana leaf which, as a tyke, I'd...

    Out of the Past

    I'm afraid I'll only be echoing what Feraud has already posted, but here goes. I don't dislike Double Indemnity or Maltese Falcon by any means, but they are shiny, pristine studio pictures and sometimes - most times - I like my noir a little grubbier, with fewer sets and more location...

    Blech...holey hat.

    You were sitting on the couch with a hat on your lap... stroking it? You need to get a cat. They rarely develop holes from stroking.

    Yep. I couldn't disagree more.

    Film Noir Classics Collection Box Sets

    Give The Set Up another try some day. Robert Ryan is one of the great though almost forgotten actors of the forties and fifties. Other Robert Ryan appearances in the Film Noir Collections include Act of Violence (with the other great forgotten actor of that period - Van Heflin), and one of my...

    Dapper Detectives: Looking Good, Ready for Action

    Very cool piece. Thanks. There was a video on the First 48 site about the best dressed detectives, but I can't seem to find it right now.

    Indy IV (beware... spoiler pics)

    Mmmmm, okay. But his cuffs are too short.

    10 overrated classics

    I agree with all of them - and there are a few missing. I do like The Seven Year Itch more now than I did in the past. (Because I'm married? Because I'm old?), and Tom Ewell is much better than he's given credit for in the article. Also, Dean's performance in Giant kind of, pretty well saves...

    Bashing other's Bashes ???

    I think I will not take that bit of advice, since it is a clear admission of fanboy guilt. My answer to "Indiana Jones!" will be "Who's that?" Anyway, COW is an enthusiastically specific but generally respectful and civil forum - just not my cup of tea. For weird, paranoid, disrespectful and...

    Indy IV (beware... spoiler pics)

    Cate Blanchett looks and sounds a little too much like a girlfriend from my distant past, and Shia Labouff's Al-Pacino-in-Cruising costume is a little, um, well, Al Pacino in Cruising, but the movie looks like a lot more fun than I ever would have bet it would be. Now I'm a believer; I'll be...

    Barber Shops

    The barbershop shave is one of the great pleasures in life, however, you are not really a man until you go into the barber's back room for a tattoo.

    Anyone in MO looking for a Whippet?

    Auctioneers allow bids by proxy or telephone. Get on the phone to these guys and arrange to bid - and if you win, to have it shipped. You don't need to fly down and be there in person.

    Land of the LOST as a movie

    Even if this was possible, and even if it ever happened, does anyone working on Land of the Lost: The Movie believe it is the right kind of edgy, out there, remarkable materiall that warrants branching and or stretching? Hope not. I have now officially posted more words on Land of the...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Someone does get killed in the play, but lives through the movie! The opening sequence is nice, and Stanwyk and Ryan are very, very good - I love Robert Ryan - but Paul Douglas is just awful and that creepy little J Carrol Naish just stinks the place up whatever he's doing. A definite side bar...

    Land of the LOST as a movie

    True. It was more of a Turner and Hooch.

    Land of the LOST as a movie

    lol Very diplomatic. Dragnet was a stinker - a total waste of time and attention. If I was a betting man (hey, wait a minute, I am!) I'd bet that Land of the Lost will also stink. But I've been wrong before. I predicted that Titanic (the movie, not the ship) would be a disaster...
