    Most Depressing movies you've seen?

    Figured I should list this one: "Hank Williams: The Concert He Never Gave." Set in New Years Eve, 1952, it has Hank Williams being driven to what would have been his last concert but he's thinking about the concert that he'd like to give rather than the auditorium he is heading toward. To...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Hank Williams: The Concert He Never Gave. A good, but sad film. I should probably list it on the "most depressing" thread.

    Most Depressing movies you've seen?

    Like Blade Runner, Soylent Green gives such a bleak view of the future. It's always amazed me how few people I meet have seen Soylent Green. I used to use Charlton Heston's line at work..."Soylent Green is ------!" (Don't want to spoil the film.) Got more blank looks than I can remember...

    I've been cooking a pork picnic shoulder all day....pulled pork sandwiches tonight.

    Most Depressing movies you've seen?

    Both already mentioned. Both excellent films but very, very somber. Gallipoli: best film I've ever seen to illustrate the waste that is war. Stalingrad: chilling, in more ways than one and another illustration of the waste of life.

    O Brother, Where Art Thou?

    Musetta Vander...now there's a siren! Awful news about Daniel von Bargen.

    What Are You Reading

    One of his latest, The Fort, is not bad. It deals with what he calls the biggest naval disaster/defeat in U.S. history...and I had never heard of it! Interesting story, though.

    Just posted this one on the new hats thread but I figured I'd post it here as well. Found this perfect Biltmore Milan on 50% off Friday at a local Goodwill. Just finished steaming and ironing the slightly misshapen brim back to it's original form. It's a bit big but some padding will take...

    Post New Hats Here!

    I've been pining for decent Milan. Finally found one on 50% off day at a local Goodwill! It's a flawless tan coloured Biltmore with a 2 1/2 inch brim, a brown leather sweat and a brown pug. It's a bit big for me but some padding should remedy that. The brim was a bit wonky due to poor...

    What's In Your Bathroom Library?

    Nothing actually kept in the can but I am usually accompanied by my iPod Touch (to peruse local online newspapers) or one of the many issues of Uncle John's Bathroom Readers (didn't know about the Australian one, Shangas!).

    Stephen King's 11/22/63

    I'm now reading 11/22/63 and thoroughly enjoyed the first half. It would seem, however, that I'm having a hard time staying interested now that 'George' is spending his time tracking Oswald. I am finding the second half to be somewhat tedious. I could easily see myself closing it one of these...

    Trying not to be too cynical, but I suspect that they'd only be concerned if they thought they could've received more money for the item. Quite a few people place little or no value, either monetary value or emotional value, on 'old' things. Sad, but true. I well remember obtaining a lovely...

    Godzilla...the 1957/8 version with Raymond Burr.
