    Shoe leather scrape…help!

    Pictures? Depending on the extent of the damage a good cobbler should be able to do something. If you are still in Toronto Novelty Shoe repair on Yonge has vintage/retro appeal, while Kaners on Bloor - under the Nike store - can often work magic.

    NERD ALERT!!

    I don't think so. He'd recogize her for one thing, and it didn't look like her in the bed.

    NERD ALERT!!

    Thank-you Feraud. It doesn't look like Jeremy Bentham to me it looks like Jo--- -antham. So, who he?

    NERD ALERT!!

    I thought it was Michael because he was the only charater I know of from New York and the article Jack read said ..."bladdy blah of New York was found on a bus..." Someone with sharper eyes than mine, or screen caps and a magnifying glass, seems to think that the character whose funeral it was...

    NERD ALERT!!

    According to Michael Emmerson (Ben), Locke has a previous medical condition that works in his favour - he gave something up that will actually help him to survive. So... no kidney to bleed into his abdomen... also, the magical healing powers of the island might be a factor. The finale was a...

    BEST '40s tie series ever

    Schreiber was a very good artist. I've read about these ties and have lazily thought I'd like to try and find a few examples. Thank-you so much for posting them... though you are a terrible tempter of the obsessively aquisitive and my wife (the banker) may not thank you as much. ;)

    Yeah, asking the people you work for rather than asking people on a public forum makes more sense to me.

    Just watched LA Confidential again...

    A dreadful adaptation OF Ellroy. Better?

    Just watched LA Confidential again...

    The scoop on CURTIS Hanson is that he is a director with a long career, a real professional who makes decent well-crafted films for the most part. LA Confidential is his very best work, although Wonder Boys is better than you might think. His new film, Lucky You looks awful, but I find both Eric...

    William Powell and Myrna Loy DVD set

    Two words: DVD Burner. The set looks good. Just don't watch Manhatten Melodrama with a lady in red.

    Just watched LA Confidential again...

    LA Confidential is so superior to the dreadful Ellroy adaptation Black Dhalia they are like night and day, though they are set around the same time and the books have cross over characters. In LA Confidential the Frolic Room IS the Frolic Room while in BD the Frolic Room is the FR on the outside...

    Just watched LA Confidential again...

    LA Confidential is a great film. Mullholland Falls looks good but didn't come together at all well. Dick Sylbert was production designer on Mullholland Falls and Jerry Glodsmith did the music for LA Confidential. Both men were invloved in making Chinatown and both will be missed.
