    Films for Homes

    I would love some suggestions for old films--or even modern period pieces--that have great shots inside vintage homes. I was watching some "Miracle on 34th Street," and the inside of the apartment was beautiful. I would love to read some other suggestions from fellow loungers. Happy Holidays!

    Pencils

    I never liked pencils, too fickle, unsure, and impermanent. I use fountain pens, and once in a while, depending on what I’m writing, I use a roller ball or ballpoint. Yet lately, and I’m not completely sure how or why I made this leap, I’ve been using pencils for my early drafts. I like...

    Let's make this guy a star

    I'm a jazz musician and have had the fortunate experiences of playing with some major artists. As a jazz fan, the more people playing the music, the better; however, as a musician, it is decent. his voice is subdued, which is fine, reminsicent of Chet Baker or Billy Eckstine. The arrangements...

    Zwartboek (Black Book) - 2007

    I just saw this last night. It was decent, not as engaging as I would have expected. I feel like the female protagonist could have been more convincing. I was surprised to read that she got such positive reviews. Her character drifted between two opposing sides far too easily. I don't understand...

    PBS "The War" Series

    Why is this too political? Is this type of discourse actually "banned," like another member observed, or is it that people simply don't want to discuss it? These observations don't strike me as political in nature, but rather they seek to understand the development of a society as it reacts to...

    PBS "The War" Series

    I can't help but consider Burns' film in light of America's current military crisis. I found two ideas striking: 1) He titles the film, "The War," as if to suggest it is a definitive war in American history, perhaps global history. Furthermore, to name WWII "The War" is to--by effect--diminish...

    Personal Libraries

    It's interesting you should bring this up. I did this a whie back. I buy most of my books used: they are less expensive, and it is much easier to find hardcover copies. I read a lot of poetry, particularly collected works, so I pick up poetry in whatever binding is readily availalbe. For...

    Different decorating periods in one home...or room?

    Thanks for the feedback. You can set up a free--and very quick--photobucket account and post the pictures there; then just post a link to the pictures in your Fedora post, if you don't mind. I'll be leaving FL shortly, so I'm not concerned with trying to match the tropical feel. I definitely...

    PBS "The War" Series

    Who saw the first episode last night? Any thoughts? I loved it. I thought it was well done--of course, one can raise a series of historically relevant objections, but it's important to remember Ken has a different objective. I didn't think it was going to be that long--2.5 hrs. Don't forget...

    Golden Era Home

    Thanks for looking out! I'll check out that site. I really want to get my library together. I'm looking at 2 desks now. Do you think these have a vintage feel, or should I wait for something different? (The second one doesn't come with the chair.)...

    Golden Era Home

    I'm trying to set up my apartment with a real 40's feel. I want to fix my study first, then my living room, bedroom, and so on. However, I don't know where to start--especially for my study. I don't know what types of desks, bookcases, lamps, colors, accessories, and the same dilemna exists for...

    Different decorating periods in one home...or room?

    Do you have any photos of this? Would you mind posting them? I'd love to see picutres of these apartments mentioned. I really want to decorate my place with a 30's 40's feel, but don't know where to start? Any advice? I love the Ralph Fiennes apartment in the film, "The End of the Affair." Real...
