    Jake Gittes: Style Icon

    BT, Is Marc Chevalier a concensus? Since this thread was my keep-me-out-of-trouble project for August I can speak for ME if not WE. I think the costuming was excellent, the movie was excellent and JJG is still my style icon. I was starting to grab The Two Jakes but gave it up...

    Funeral wear

    Baron Kurtz and others I think were right on when they suggested you wear what is appropriate in the circumstances (clown wedding, etc.). I've had to attend far too many funerals in my life. I'm still a young man but I've buried four of my friends already. Here's the rule I've gone by...

    Espresso and French Press?

    Yikes. Someone could have used an editor. That's barely readable. And the layout and design nearly gave me a seizure. This documentary is an interesting history of the beverage, if not the makers, and it has lots of nice images of Ethipoia, Italy, etc., etc: Black Coffee

    40s photo shoot

    Great photos. :eusa_clap I liked the colour effect. It looked like an old tinted post card. Nice. But of course with models like that, how could you go wrong. *(now, if you're ever looking for a "character" face rather than a handsome one...;) )

    Stylemaster: Bluegrass Green (Anyone have one?)

    Were you looking for pictures of the bluegrass? If it's a custum there probably won't be many - if there are any - who have it. I have a very old Style master that I wear a lot in the summer time. Here's a pic of that if it helps.

    Yes, sorry. Bad memory. My copy is long gone.

    Espresso and French Press?

    I'm glad the coffee experience worked out for you. No worse way to start your day than coffeeless. You should have one of these on hadn. Everyone should have one of these on hand.

    ALL Of My Vintage HATS

    You inspire me! Just look at how tidy that hat collection is - and all boxed too! I guess you've never opened a closet door and experienced the rain of hats.

    ALL Of My Vintage HATS

    I thought something similar. It reminded me of the hat that Van Gogh wears in the great biopic by Maurice Pialat.

    NERD ALERT!!

    Yeah. Great season opener, I thought. I did catch the POTA reference and found it quite funny. Shouldn't Sawyer have shouted, "Get your paws off me you damn dirty Others!" The season break thing is actually a great idea. We'll get one mini season, a shortish story arc that ends after 6 weeks...

    The Cat's Meow

    There was a fantastic book called "A Company of Killers" that reconstructed Billy Wilder's investigation into the WTD murder, which was undertaken as research for a possible film. He decided that reputations and people had been hurt enough so he dropped the project, but according to the book he...

    Espresso and French Press?

    It will work. But if you have espresso, don't you have an espresso maker?

    The Cat's Meow

    I did. It's good. Except I hate Eddie Izzard and he made a terrible Chaplin. It was directed by our friend Peter Bogdanovich. But it's no Paper Moon.

    Serials...

    I'm a serial lover. I loved serials as a kid when I watched them with my dad on TVOntario's Magic Shadows and PBS' Saturday Afternoon at the Bijou. I have about forty of them on video tape, and before video tape I collected them on 16mm. I love them. My favourites are: Phantom Empire...
