    Delon's hat in Le Samourai

    My French Lucien de Brabant vintage fedora (early 50s?) is pretty close. His looks like it is made of denser felt, though. Great film. I love those cars he kept stealing.

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    Boy, this thread is reminding me of the Ladies of the Lounge thread. Both continually amaze me. Except with that thread, I am continually delighted. With this, continually disgusted. Yes, Daniel, there are some real chimps out there.

    Wanna Meet a Lounger?

    Julia Morgan House thing in Berkeley, Art Deco Society, last month. You were standing with a man. I was wearing a black tuxedo. (So was every other man there.) Someone, perhaps AJ/Wingnut or Miss 1920s, introduced us right as I was about to leave. You were at the head of the stairs. My...

    Film Noir Classics Collection Box Sets

    The "Watch THE SET-UP Again" Club If y'all can get to Berkeley, California ... how about mid-June. I'll serve Margaritas.

    Film Noir Classics Collection Box Sets

    Well-said. As Aristotle put it, "character is destiny." There is an inevitability to great noirs that makes them akin to Greek tragedy, especially to Sophocles.

    Film Noir Classics Collection Box Sets

    I'd say Out of the Past has a slight sense of irony (the line "I sell gas and make a small profit; he sells groceries and makes a small profit; it's the American Way," or however it was worded; the deaf boy; the sense of inevitability throughout; Kirk Douglas's ridiculous chin), but not camp...

    I liked it too. Quite a bit.

    "Masters of Horror"

    I have seen almost all of them by now. A lot were poor. The only good one was the Dario Argento one, but that one was great. The rest ... iffy. Horror is such a tricky thing to pull off.

    I just finished watching FIDO---cold war, zombies and Lassie satire rolled into one!

    I bought it at Will Viharo's insistence. Quite enjoyable.

    Dark Passage, '47...

    Loved it, and beautiful shots of SF, i agree.

    Jacques Tati *ROCKS!*

    I think I have seen them all. Or at least 3. I loved them. I saw the one about the mailman. I saw Jour du Fete, but I cannot remember what happened. I saw the uncle one, which reminded me of Celine's Death on the Installment Plan for some reason (but more lighthearted, naturellement). Which one...

    You may also wish to look into getting the Dark Crimes box set on Amazon. It's un-remastered, and some of the films are not great, but it has 50 films and it's 20 bucks so you cannot go wrong.

    'La Vien En Rose' Edith Piaf film

    Saw. Loved.

    Dark City

    I loved it too, except for the male lead's hair. I liked this film WAY better than Matrix. (My hatred for the lead actor in Matrix knows no bounds. I even forgot his name -- I block it out regularly.) I loved the floating bald dudes. Kiefer was also excellent. Marvelous stuff, truly...

    Show us your suits

    Very nice, Sefton. I also would wear a different colored cap. Will the break in the trousers be lessened if you pull them up more? I have a belted back jacket of what looks like the exact same material ... a bit short for me, though (I'm a 42 L and it's about a 42).

    Getting a tailor-made suit, part 2

    The natural waist for natural-waisted trousers is above the pelvis. It is at the place on the human anatomy that is also, conveniently, known as the waist. I try to have my trousers' top edge be a bit above my navel. The Flusser quote tells you exactly why a man should get his pants tailored...

    Indy IV (beware... spoiler pics)

    You're killing me.

    The Ninth Gate is fantastic

    Loved the film but hated the sneakers on the female lead.

    We're Back From The BRINK!

    A post of mine has dropped out of the thread bemoaning the non-classic quality of "classic" films. Should I chalk it up to data error? I recall nothing offensive in it.
