Fitzgerald vs. Hemingway
It was probably best you didn't persist. Dangerous man. PS Last day for this avatar. Bye Count Dante. -

Fitzgerald vs. Hemingway
Cornell Woolrich was always natily attired. He even kept a sailor suit in a box under his bed during the short time he was married. ;) And if the oic doesn't work here is a link -

Fitzgerald vs. Hemingway
True. His critical reputation was at its lowest in his lifetime, even lower than it was in the fifties. He was still a commercial success, in fact people bought lots and lots fo copies of Green Hills.. and his Harry Morgan stories were lapped up. (I think they are some of his worst.) A lot... -
Exploitation and "B" Movies
Dwain Esper, who made Maniac and quite a few other exploitation films, was one of the producers of Freaks, the Tod Browning film which probably qualifies for this thread. If so, it is my favourite of the genre; it's an interesting, even fascinating, sometimes almost great film in any case.- jake_fink

Fitzgerald vs. Hemingway
As well, Hemingway had married Pauline Pfeiffer, a former Vogue writer and editor and a very very wealthy woman. Hemingway had all of the advantages here to outshine Fitzgerald sartorially; He was also going through a period in which he was mostly drunk, apparently raving mad, more interested in... -

1930's Diary Found in Manhattan Dumpster
That's a really interesting story and would be a great basis for a full length documentary film as the multimedia show merely whetted my appetite. It is a shame about the girl's voice though; she reads like Margaret Atwood. Maybe they can hire Nathalie Portman or some such to narrate the film...- jake_fink

Focus only on vintage?
The magazine title says it all, Classic Style... not exclusively vintage, though inspired by forms and norms of the past. -

Thieves Like Us
This is a really great and terribly underrated movie - despite the celebration of most things Altman this is often left out. It is based on a fantastic book by Edward Anderson who also wrote Hungry Men, a great Depression book (as opposed to a Great Depression book). The book was also the basis...- jake_fink

NERD ALERT PART II
I hope Marvel sues. Is anybody still watching this? This week's theme episode was the shark jump for me. I'm tired of Hiro, I'm not convinced by his nerdy act and I-make-p@@h-now face and even less conviced by the mascara soul patch and the girdled pot-belly of the warrior Hiro. Sometimes the...- jake_fink

Just a funny thought...
I've dreamt about falling into a giant hat and being trapped in a land of hat-shaped people with personalites that match their hat-shape and that Charles Nelson Riley was after me for some reason and that he laughed his sneering laugh as flew by in a flying hat. I don't feel rested after... -
