    Stop dissing Henry James or I'll 'ave you!

    Greetings! A little help? :)

    My stylemaster may be a shade lighter than the one now offered. It's pretty old. But I like it.

    NERD ALERT!!

    I think this season has been top notch, but if the internets is anything to go by, I am alone. Then again, the internets is nothing to go by (unless you be a googling, if you're a googler, it's somehting to go by). The last two episodes were very well handled, very well written...

    New Star Trek

    Yojimbo was based on Dashiell Hammett's Red Harvest. And there are only seven basic plot types, if Christopher Booker is to be believed. Aristotle has a pesky theory about drama, that it is a unity of six elements only one of which is plot.

    Hat Brotherhood: PT 1: Oh Brotherhood.

    That was nice of your pop. My new pal's not that old. When I say old, I mean, like my age old. Okay, older than that. Probably mid fifties to mid sixties. Now my great uncle, who is 96, he knows a thing or two about hats and fine clothing. He was a fop in his day, looked a bit like...

    New Star Trek

    I had the same colouring book. And the comic. I loved that movie as a kid.

    Hat Brotherhood: PT 1: Oh Brotherhood.

    With the fall weather I'm walking to work less often, and being on crowded sweaty subways I find I take my hat off often enough to let the steam out that sometimes I don't even wear a hat in the first place. Last week a kindly old feller who takes the same bus I do some mornings approached me on...

    Greetings! A little help? :)

    I would disagree with going vintage on your first hat. It takes more than "some" looking to find a good hat and you might end up with some goofy looking old moth-bitten piece of crap on your head that you hate. You might go through ten of those before you find one you like, and you'll be wasting...

    New Star Trek

    Jesse james met Dracula's Daughter and Billy the Kid versed (versusssed?) Dracula, both in 1966. These films were directed by William "One Shot" Beaudine whose biography I set about writing almost ten years ago. I haven't finished yet. I got distracted. He surely had one of the longest careers...

    Silly eBay bids

    Treating ebay like a game is dangerous bidness kids. Ebay is a powerful tool that puts oten unscrupulous sellers within e-proximity of often severely mentally unspectatuclar buyers and if you get caught betwixt'em it can annoy the life out of you. So always wear protective clothing and remember...

    Any Cigar Afficionados Out There?

    My usual smoke is the Jose Piedra conservas, which are decent cigars for the price, medium bordering on full flavour but with real varience in quality from pack to pack. At the beginning of the summer I usually buy a box of Rome y Julieta Cazadores. These are full flavoured, quite strong to...

    Bring back Sunday dinner

    My family ate dinner together every night. Like Barry, Friday was particularly important especially as we got older and had other things to do. ;) My father's family was not at all observant, but certain things linger in the imagination and the memory, so certain holidays, certain foods...

    Pedigree Boater

    Most boaters do have that fabric or elastic portion between the hat and the sweat. It's because the hat body itself is so stiff that it won't conform at all to a head, and that cloth segue allows for a more comfortable fit. Actually, it allows for a fit, period. As to age, I think boaters...

    "Pretty in Pink" in the Golden Age

    I forgot Molly Ringwald's boss at the record store. For that role I give you... THELMA TODD Gosh. I'm spending a lot of time precasting a movie I didn't even like when I was 14. [huh]
