    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Since we no longer have record albums (normally), there are two things that have gone away: the concept of "he's a broken record" and... you know that sound the record makes when you suddenly pull up the stylus? It's used now as a standard sound effect for when someone stops suddenly or is...

    I don't think that's how one rides a scooter.... :)

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    My guess is that they don't watch classic movies or TV, and the only "historical photo" they're familiar with is the iconic Ann Frank portrait photo. It's their only point of reference.

    Don't text during a movie at the Alamo, or else...

    Lizzie, I think I love you. :) Basically, as I read your last two posts in this thread, I found myself nodding so hard I almost gave myself whiplash. It really wasn't that long ago that when people really wanted to communicate something important, they'd write a letter. When was the last...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I know, I know. Saw it in the theater first day. I was also there for the first showing the first day "Star Wars" (when that's all there was to the title!), too, and had been looking forward to it for almost a year. I feel very depressed right now.

    Don't text during a movie at the Alamo, or else...

    You know, people survived without the INSTANT RESPONSE of cell phones for decades. They seem to have functioned quite well. We are really far too trapped by our addiction to instant satisfaction. There is *nothing* so urgent that you can't wait two hours or so. If there *is* potentially...

    Oh, holy cow. Thanks for the flashback. I remember those. :)

    vintage first names no longer in use today or not popular anymore

    How about "Elba"? That was the name of one of my dad's best friends from his youth (born 1912) and through his whole life.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Me, too. I love that film. Rex Harrison was great. The TV series was kinda fun, too, but the film was just spectacular.

    Pocketwatches

    Indeed. :) I'm looking for something I like. I'm particularly fond of faces with the really elongated Roman numerals. They just look so cool.

    I have just been loving this thread. Makes me feel really bummed about the craptastic modern pocket watches I have. :(

    What is your favorite Scotch Whisky?

    Tonight it's the 18-year-old Laphroig. MMmmmm.

    Would You Have Said Something?

    Yeah, but how do you feel about American politicos who try to read off a canned toast during a live playing of "God Save the Queen" and not having the sense to shut up? :eek:

    The most frightening motion pictures?

    Loved Quatermass. Great stuff, all of them. I've gotten into some arguments over who was a better Quatermass, though. :)

    Stars And Their Cars

    No. Hm. Must be Miss Miami Beach, then. I know it was something like that. She never talked about it, and I only found out about it after she passed away. :(

    Stars And Their Cars

    I love those pants. My mom was a model in her youth (and Miss Miami in 1938) and somewhere I have some pictures of her in a similar outfit. Way cool.

    That looks like a swell ride. Car looks nice, too. (I'm a baaaaaaad man.)

    H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival moves to Los Angeles

    I love "Call of Cthulhu", and everything those brilliant, scary filmmakers have done. They're incredible, and putting the tale into a silent film milieu was a stroke of absolute genius.

    The most frightening motion pictures?

    I saw this just a few months ago. I remember being most struck by the way society... changed. The way English so quickly seemed to degenerate into some sort of self-generating pidgin. That and the apparent mediaeval society that developed in the aftermath. Creepy.
