    My grandfather's name was Roy. Haven't seen many of them lately.

    Iron Sky - Nazis on the Moon

    I've been waiting for this flick for about four years. Sigh. There's another "cool Nazi film" that you might like: Dead Snow -- Norwegian zombie Nazis. Way cool -- much more spiff than one might think. The trailer is a bit cheesy, but the film has great production values, a good internal...

    Hey, I used to live in Delavan, not far from Kenosha ( ), when I was editing Dragon Magazine. Wisconsin's a nice place, with great people. But those winters....

    Tv shows - Poirot , Campion , Foyles War

    Love the Poirot series, and Foyle's War was just art on the screen. It was wonderful.

    Archie. I love the name, but could never give a kid the name "Archibald."

    Well, Rue, maybe if you think of it as an extended "practice run" -- ;) You said you still have six months -- how long after you find out where you're going do you actually go? That is, how much actual lead time do you have to find "the right place" in the new town?

    This is phenomenally cool. So... does your wife have a sister? :) I love that you are actually able to make this work. I love the earlier style, but I am (I fear) too much of a technophile to actually ever be able to pull that off. Conversely, I do love the *style* so much. I wonder about...

    Maltese Falcon Replica

    Holy crap, OZ!!! Folks, I have to tell you, if you get the chance to get one of Oz's sculpts, GRAB IT. The thing is SPECTACULAR. I have a weighted resin one on my mantel right now, and it is... well, it's spectacular. The man's an artist. This isn't a generic e-bay POS "dingus" -- I've seen...

    songs that make you shiver/cry

    Given that only a couple of days ago, the last living combat veteran of WW1 passed away (and in Australia), I'd like to offer this little ditty about Gallipoli that always brings a tear to my eye: And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFCekeoSTwg

    The Great escape - Tunnel "Harry"

    I know this is essentially a necroposted thread, but I have to put my oar in. I *loved* "The Great Escape." When I was in the sixth grade, our English teacher read the book to us after lunch every day, a few pages at a time. (He also read "The Hobbit" to us the same way.) I've loved that book...

    Gin and tonic, made with Hendrick's gin. Wonderful stuff.

    Damn, Murph. That's LOVELY. What's the square footage in that thing? It looks like a tardis -- the inside seems roomier than the external image might imply. I really love the ceiling, the detail on the stair's risers, and that tromp l'oeil ceiling. Damn. Tony

    Hendrick's, all the way. MMmm. I feel the need for a gin-and-tonic coming on.

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    It was the seventies that was the worst for style. Need evidence?

    Great English novels set between the wars....

    There's also the oeuvre of P.G. Wodehouse, if you're so inclined.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Oh, hell yes. That spear duel between Mifune's character and the other fellow? Masterful. And I'll NEVER forget that scene of Mifune galloping off after the two scouts, standing in the stirrups, holding the reins in his mouth, both hands holding his sword. Wow. Just.... Wow.

    The kid that gets taken out in the swimming pool always freaked me out.
