    Movies For Children

    My two and a half year old loves "Mister Gunby" (Gumby) and Sky Captain. Perhaps Sky Captain has finally found its audience.

    Indy IV (beware... spoiler pics)

    LC and ToD both stunk. They were overlit, over designed and badly written. LC stunk most though because it had that opening sequence with River Phoenix doing his Harrison Ford scowl on a train ride full of rubber animals. Embarrassing and truly, unbearably awful. Clearly they thought the...

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    Looks good. But I'll have to wait for the dvds.

    Indy IV (beware... spoiler pics)

    No homework required There isn't any particular continuity to the films. They go back and forth in time and there isn't any real development of the character(s) from film to film - unless turning everyone into an idiot in Last Crusade qualifies as development.

    George's hat

    Yikes. The only clothing in the image that won't cause temporary blindness is the hat and the apron.

    The Phantom (1996)

    Watch the first hour with the sound off Kind of boring, the pirate cove thing and the laserbeam skulls were just embarassing, but it looked good up to that point. Especially Catherine Zeta Jones as the mildly evil Valkyrie kind of character. Hummana hummana.

    Demise of the butcher

    That's how to do it. Or buy local only. (That is locally produced not locally purchased0> But what do I know. I don't even eat meat.

    What kind of noir do you prefer?

    Stop everything. Don't write another word about film noir until you've seen Lady from Shanghai. The phrase "a little target practice" will never sound the same again. (But then how often does a fella get to use the phrase "a little target practice"?) The Hitch Hiker is a great noir and takes...

    Hat tricks

    No hat tricks. But perhaps in General Attire and Accoutrements I'll reveal some of my pants tricks. ;)

    PETER LORRE as MR MOTO

    The Moto series is great B movie stuff. I like them even more than the Charlie Chan films which were being produced simultaneously by the same studio.

    Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow

    Villains? There were villains in Sky Captain? Wasn't the whole thing just a shaggy dog story with an out-take of Laurence Olivier "acting" at the end as the "villain"?

    Slowly moving away from vintage and on to Akubra exclusively.

    Pictures? I've had my eye on the moonstone stylemaster for a few weeks. Did you get it from everything Australian? Is it featherweight? Cheers.

    What entertaining movies did poorly at the box office?

    I didn't realize that Princess Bride or Memento did poorly at the box office. I thought one was a huge and the other a modest hit. Memento didn't have to do well to be successful since it cost relatively little to make. I don't think Wizard of Oz was really a failure either. Spinal Tap...

    Classic Style Magazine #3

    I was told by a friend who's dad was a cab driver and had "the knowledge" that the hackney cab was designed as a vehicle for all classes and situations, high enough for a gentleman to wear a top hat while seated and with a large enough boot (that's a trunk, my American friends) to fit a bale of hay.
