    HBO's Carnivale

    I enjoyed season 1, but I started watching season 2 on dvd and gave up. It was a little too heavy-handed with the mumbo jumbo, the circularity was annoying me and the battle between good and evil doesn't interest me anywhere near as much as the battle between not-really-all-that-bad and...

    NEW ADVENTUREBILT DELUXE

    That is a nice hat. It has a real vintage, European look that suits your beard perfectly. You look like you're one of the generation perdu. :eusa_clap How many Adventurebilts do you have?

    The Good German

    Okay I just saw the trailer and it looks pretty darn good. And the title doesn't seem as awful now that I know it's a noir.

    The Good German

    I just saw the poster last night. Looks like Casablanca. I haven't seen a trailer or anything at all on this film, but it's an awful title.

    The Razor's Edge

    Denholm Elliot was always great and always made whatever he was in a little bit better by his presence alone. He had a very long career beginning (on film) even before his excellent work in The Holly and the Ivy with Ralph Richardson in the very early 50s. He almost deserves a thread of his...

    NERD ALERT PART II

    It could still go either way, but so far it's kind of fun. Good cliffhangers, the story and the charcters are developing nicely. I'm in until I'm out.

    have you been let down by the future?

    All I wanted from the future is everyone in tight white polyester. That and a little nuclear apcocalypse that creates mutants so that I can fight them and take my place as barabrian prince of the devestated future. The future's over rated. The past is where it's at.

    Quantum Leap

    I never really watched it but... As a young man I wrote a spec script for this show and had my then agent try to get some traction with it. The script had Dr. Beckett leaping into the body of WWI Red Cross worker who it turned out was a friend, confidant and inspiriation to Ernest Hemingway...

    This hat is amazing!

    I once bought a straw hat at a flea market from a lady and her son (who claimed he was "ska" - more like "pshaw") who had dozens of old mostly crappy straws that they put tie bands on. Yes, they dumped the original bands and replaced them with ties. And, for a touch of class, the pointy tip of...

    Esky: The Esquire Man

    Esky: The Esquire Man Display I've sworn off ebay, but a freind sent me this listing. It's exactly the kind of thing I would have bid on creating acrimony at home and leaving me to talk to my papier mache Esky at night instead of my wife. So, I'm not sorry I didn't get it, but I wish someone...

    Ford Says He's Fit to Play Indiana Jones

    That is a great scene. That whole sequence is nice. It goes from Lawrence of Arabia to Hammer Horror. It's perfect. There's nothing even remotely close to it in effect in either sequel.

    Ford Says He's Fit to Play Indiana Jones

    That "old" Indy is a decade or so younger than a current Indy would be. I thought that the second movie was such an utter failure I as surprised they bothered with a third, and that one seemed like such a dopey children's movie I just can't get excited about a fourth. Raiders is classic...

    Just for fun... '39 World's Fair coat.

    It looks like it's in better condition than the description indicates. A very cool relic. Any pictures of these hoodies being worn in the day?

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

    lol lol Some "artists" might have tried to camoflage the features of the upside down face, but not this one. Here we have a man (2 men?) with a mouth and nose on his forehead! Just one of the many bonus mutations provided by Pronto-Lax!!!

    The Sartorialist.

    I didn't visit everyday, but I did like it when there was more character and less fashion to the people he shot. I don't bother looking very often anymore. The photos on the facehunter blog always seem kind of creepy to me. There's something similar to the American Apparel ads to them... a...
