Bryan Ferry
I was hoping he'd do a follow-up to the As Time Goes by Album. I like the lean, respectful arrangements. I laso like the illustrations in the insert. Very 1930s Vogue.- jake_fink

Christmas without Christ? Huh?
Perhaps at some level people are responding more to the Saturnalian symbols as reflections of our time and attitudes than to the symbols of peace, ascetisicm and faith. St Nicholas at least has something to do with Christ, being a saint and all, though the version you probably saw on the cards...- jake_fink

Rockwell painting auctioned
If you say so... I'm not disputing his technical ability, but his work looks best where it was intended to be - on a middleborw magazine cover, or in advertising. I find it a little cardboard and boring. And the subject is so sappy. Just not my cup of tea. Now Edward Hopper's Hotel Window...- jake_fink

Rockwell painting auctioned
Nope. There was a copy that had been mistaken for the real thing. Then this pops out of the wainscotting! I think it's kinda kitschy, myself.- jake_fink

Who are today's Dionne Quintuplets
A strange quirk of nature! Five healthy babies born to one woman at one time! Shamelessly exploited. A mindless distraction from the everyday vagaries of the Great Depression. More on the Quints Who are today's Dionne Quintuplets?- jake_fink

Who is today's Henry Fonda?
Henry Fonda always had that look, the look of a man trapped in an elevator with someone who'd just broken wind. Sinise also has that look, so, yeah, Sinise is today's Henry Fonda. But who is today's Henry Winkler?- jake_fink

My hat wearing has nothing to do with this Indy person you speak of. But my dress wearing has everything to do with Ziggy Stardust. -

Merged Hatter Thread
What about a grandfather clause? The icon idea seemed reasonable. If websites can be linked in the profile page then flag vendors and hatters as such next to the avatar. I know that revenue is only part of the issue, but the loss of knowledgable hatters and vendors would be significant. I...- jake_fink

Merged Hatter Thread
That's exactly how I feel. Thank-you feltfan. The hatters will be sorely missed. They gave the board a lot of value.- jake_fink

The Painted Veil
I think fans of the Somerset Maughm book may very well be pleased by this. It looks a little too earnestly decorative for my taste, the twee kind of thing Ralph Fiennes specializes in, and yet it has Edward Norton in the Ralph Fiennes role! The trailer is available here.- jake_fink

Holiday Viewing Recommendations
Apart from the real chestnuts I love Holiday Inn for fluffy fun (I don't know where is con-NECK-ti-cut), and The Holly and the Ivy for some good old holiday angst.- jake_fink

Tales of the Gold Monkey
I was a kid when this aired. I preferred Bring 'em Back Alive, though it was probably even more awful. I haven't seen BeBA in ages but I did see Tales of The Gold Monkey on DVD a a few years ago. The quality was crap and the show was just a very goofy, smug, campy Magnum PI set in the 30s...- jake_fink
