    You mean it wasn't filmed in 19th C Japan!?! How inauthentic. ;) Cinderella Man was filmed here in TO; the sets were entire streets made-up to look like 20s and 30s New York. It was fun. Shame about the movie though.

    Barber Shops

    I thought Toronto was nutty for annoying health regulations - the only street food that can be served here, for instance, is precooked meat, which is to say hotdogs and sausages: Some health code. But I do have a barber who shaves me with a real straight razor and not some phony theatrical...

    The Elephant Man (1980)

    I just saw The Elephant Man for the first time in years. I'd forgotten what an extraordinary film it was and how moving. It's a complex, powerful drama, but also a classic monster movie. Beautiful work by Lynch, the screen writers, cinematographer Freddie Francis and the whole cast. If you've...

    Top 10 Comic Actors of All Time

    After the indisputable greats, WC Fields, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, the Marx Bros. (Groucho and Chico for me, Zeppo is, well, Zeppo, and Harpo creeps me out.) I have to agree with dherman1 (sort of), some of the greatest comic actors pop up in character bits. Think of those Preston...

    Seersucker

    I'd stare. Just because I'd be wondering where you got the great suit. ;) I do find that white shoes, saddle shoes and spectators will cause people to double take even more often than a hat or suit.

    New Spring Store Displays.

    Hi Marty, I missed this thread before but I'm glad I found it today. I've always loved your store display photos. I thought you'd taken a powder, I hadn't seen them in so long. Thanks for posting.

    Recent dvd buys

    It is a really great film, and under rated. It's beautifully shot by Haskell Wexler and for that alone it is worth seeing. Sayles' other great period masterpiece (sort of) is Eight Men Out. It makes a great companion piece to The Natural. My recent dvd purchases are True Confessions...

    Should tobacco usage scene's be deleted?

    Ah, the sound of twisted knickers... Wow, the moving pictures board seems to be less about movies and more about airing gripes lately. As Lizzie has already pointed out - this is not about cutting or censoring old films or even forcing new ones to abide by some shiny new standard for clean...
