    Corduroy Club

    I'd join. I love my corduroy blazers and my corduroy trousers and my corduroy car coat and my corduroy shirt (seriously) and my corduroy socks (not seriosuly) and my corduroy table napkins (again, not seriosuly) and the corduroy effigy of myself I am working on in order to fool the people who...

    NAUSEATED

    Does anyone believe that a man who cannot pull on a glove actually wrote this book. As a one time, long time, poorly compensated ghost writer I am doubly (quadrupely :o ) repulsed. His hubris, his lack of empathy, his vanity, his sheer loathsomeness are truly awesome. But anyone who would...

    HATS

    That stetson cleaned up nice, and was well worht saving. But I'm loving the Mallory. There's something very Lash La Rue or about it. It just begs to be sung under.

    Jules Dassin: When Noir Turned Black

    Regarding the remake of Rififi: Neil Jordan's take on Bob le Flambeur was a very interesting and worthy film in its own right. Unfortunately Howard Beck is not Neil Jordan, having only managed to make two good movies in a thirty-odd year career. So, yeah, Rififi remake = :eek: :( :mad:

    Tilley Fedora

    Looks like an upended gravy boat to me. Tilley hats really do look like they were designed in Canada. lol

    Jules Dassin: When Noir Turned Black

    Here's a great article on the legendary writer director Jules Dassin, creator of noir masterpieces The Naked City, Topkapi, Night and the City, Thieves' Highway, Brute Force and Rififi, not to mention The Canterville Ghost and A Letter for Evie among others. Dassin was blacklisted in 1950...

    To Have and Have Not

    I'm not a great fan of most of the Bogey/Bacall starrers. The chemistry everyone talks about seems awfully forced to me and even when it isn't I find it distracts from and even overwhelms the other elements of the film. Still, if you love gazing at star couples, and until Brangelina and Tomkat...

    IMDB Lucas fans are too serious

    Of course my posts are also nonsense. They just happen to be nonsense designed to amuse me, and therefore nonsense crafted to exacting standards.

    Trenchcoats, still a faux-pas for teens?

    Inspector Gadget is actually quite funny. Maybe just because I never hear it myself.

    IMDB Lucas fans are too serious

    Whenever I post derisive but hilarious comments about the oeuvre of George Lucas on the IMDB boards they get deleted. No other IMDB board deletes my posts with such regularity. All my great ideas for Star Wars sequels and characters are now lost in cyberspace. Unless GL himself is saving...

    What's your alltime favorite movie?

    Chinatown. Natch. ;)

    I love a brown Stetson.

    The brown whippet is an absolute classic.

    The "Goddard" by Art Fawcett

    That's a great hat. Something quite different from what we so often see on these boards. A tribute to a one of a kind film maker too.

    Every hat tells a story.

    Thank-you. I knew it looked familiar.

    Every hat tells a story.

    Who is that in your avatar. Looks familiar, but I can't make out the face. Daniel Craig maybe, from Road to Perdition?

    Hat Brotherhood: PT 1: Oh Brotherhood.

    I don't mean it to sound negative, though I guess it does because I don't like Tilley hats. He's a nice enough guy, though a bit of a bore. We're not going to become best friends because he bought a hat, but I'm certainly not rude to him. I just thought it was an amusing littel story of life in...

    NYC Demolition :(

    Stories like this make me so unhappy. The city I live in has a terrible record for preserving its history, and every year some other piece of our industrial past is torn down. I was at a gallery last week and part of the show was a series of photos taken from German airships in the 20s and 30s...
