    The Desperate Hours

    Bogey never really had a problem accessing the dark side of a character even when he played the hero, and he only got better as he aged. His last few films are not all that great; by then he was often just phoning it in. The Desperate Hours is a great one. It was remade in the 80s or early...

    New York New York

    A brilliant faliure... ... not entirely unlike Coppola's One From the Heart. New York New York has been called a musical horror film, and that's pretty accurate if you ask me.

    Hat Liners: To Be Or Not To Be

    I wear goop in my hair so I keep the liners as a barrier, but I can't stand the plastic bit on the crown, a hideous innovation that makes the inside of your hat hotter than a tandoor oven and unwearable in the summer. Most of the Akubra hats I have came with the plastic in the crown, so I cut...

    Hair cuts

    You can get it cut with the Murray's still in it, and the little bundles of hair that form look like cute little headhogs gathering at your feet.

    Radium: The Key to Good Health (Golden Era Style)

    Yikes. It's all here: Radioactive Quack Cures The revigator, the ionic charger, radium bread, and the little beauties pictured above. That golden glow we se on the first fifty years of the 20thC, that's not nostalgia after all...

    So what about the return of a polar bear? Who saw this week's episode. A good one, methinks.

    WORST Record Albums EVER

    I have a Leonard Nimoy record with no cover. Is that the one with If I Had a Hammer. (But I do have a hammer and that hammer is freedom...) lol

    No..Not Tag!

    I guesss they'll have to go back to starting fires under the fibreglass turtle like when I was a kid. Now that was a sport and a pastime!

    STRATOLINER

    Remember to use the other sticker when reordering. Where's a pic of you and Aliados together? You must have cut quite a figure, the pair of you. (Figures? [huh] )

    An expensive "DOH!" - Picasso's 1932 "Dream"

    infamous

    A short story. Very creepy. His novels The Grass Harp and Breakfast at Tiffany's are both well worth reading (short too, whereas In Cold Blood is the size of a Dagwood sandwhich). The film of In Cold Blood was great work. I don't think Richard Brooks was ever better.

    infamous

    I didn't see Capote. Was it bad? Toby Jones is uncanny as Capote, much more Capote-like than PSHoffman. Capote was a great writer, one of the best America has ever produced, and his talent was squandered post In Cold Blood. Apropos of nothing whatsoever: Have you ever read Hand-Carved...

    Borsalino on E(vil)bay

    I think these types of posts are almost always informative - though also rarely hats. More often you've seen a suit or jacket or tie that went for a lower than expected bid. You also have a great eye and encyclopaedic knowledge for vintage details, so these threads also work like tutorials. All...

    My new Westfield and Adams

    Nice hat. I like the profile, the boxy look of the crown and that great sweep of the brim. I can't see the Adams. [huh]

    Borsalino on E(vil)bay

    Wow. Among all the straw men that have been put up there is a pretty simple idea. It isn't censorship and doesn't require any rules that may or may not infringe upon one's civil liberties. I suggested in my initial post that ebay had changed the way we buy old stuff - in this case hats. I...
