    Vintage Journal

    Well, since the post got a bump, I figured I would update everyone. I was in Barnes and Noble, and I found this: http://gifts.barnesandnoble.com/search/product.asp?z=y&ean=9780641742880 They had the journals in a dark brown and a light, almost yellowish, faded brown: I purchased both...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The last movie was last night: "I think I love my wife." I really don't find modern comedies to amusing--ever. I love Chris Rock's standup, but I'm never a big fan of modren comedy movies. Last Golden Era: "Dead End," with a very young Humphrey Bogart. It was on sale at the local Borders for...

    Fountain Pen Illusions?

    See, this represents the exact irony of the golden era and modern day followers. The Golden Era was extremely modern for its time, always pushing the latest, most innovative product. As lovers of all things vintage, we are not innovative or modern at all; we are replicating the past (myself...

    Fountain Pen Illusions?

    Any fountain pen users? Pen lovers? Many think fountain pens were golden era normality, it seems otherwise? Any thoughts?

    Artists in Film

    Can anyone recommend either some vintage films, or films set in the golden era that have artists as their protagonists: writers, musicians, painters. I enjoy films that center around writers, professors, or academic plots, musicians, even painters or such. Thanks!

    Fountain Pen Illusions?

    I "observed" something interesting last evenging while watching "The Big Sleep." (FABULOUS FILM!) In one of the first few scenes of the film, where Bogart is in the library, he is writing something down, and he is using a ball point pen! My wife was teasing me, "I thought Bogie only used...

    Indy IV (beware... spoiler pics)

    If you check the Indiana Jones website, you can find more information. Ford is returning--obviously. Sean Connery won't come out of retirement for it. All the locations and plot details are being withheld, and the film is scheduled to release May 2008. Co-star Shea Lebieauf (sic) was on Jay...

    Great Websites

    Should tobacco usage scene's be deleted?

    What is most absurd about this recent idea is that it clearly focuses the larger issue at hand: political correctness and social watch dogs seem to fear life. People curse, have sex, eat poorly, drink, smoke, love, die, grieve, suffer, rejoice, and so on, and I, as a cognitive and functioning...

    The Good German

    In short, the film attempts to recapture Casablanca's glory. The cover of the movie case is the same still as that from Casablanca; the plot is similar, a wife trying to help her husband escape WWII Germany, and their ally ends up being the wife's ex-lover. What's comical is the fact that for a...

    War Era Films and Bombs!

    I saw three war era movies recently: The English Patient, Letters from Iwo Jima, and The Good German. The English Patient, starring Ralph Fines, is wonderful. It wasn't entirely what I expected, but not at all disappointing. It is difficult to summarize the film without giving it away, but...

    Let's See Your Vintage Inspired Office!

    Thank you so much for the insight. I would LOVE to see pictures. I'm particularly curios to see your bookcase and desk. Did you mount shelves on the wall or purchase actual cases? I wonder what is more vintage? I've been looking for an antique fan and desk lamp for some time. Thanks for the...
