    The man with Bogart's face!

    Agree! As Philip Marlowe, Bogart made a very good Sam Spade.

    The man with Bogart's face!

    I like Humphrey Bogart because he is a singular talent. He was an actor who became a movie star by exploring his dark side, and he continued to do so when playing safe romatic leads would have been easier. Take a look at the malice he brings to The Maltese Falcon, the menace he brings to In a...

    The Black Dahlia

    Oh you guys! :rage: It's a period movie about cops and criminals and other people, not a 1947 Esquire magazine! Then, like now, bad haircuts were bountiful, and hats were worn by most the way they wore their shoes, without much thought for how they looked - they wore them because that's what...

    They do when they're purty.

    Tango vs. Swing: Atmosphere

    There was a tango revival bubble when I lived in London in the early 90s. There was a stage show, a movie or two and a number of clubs had tango evenings. I find that dancing a a passable tango is much more diffcult than dancing a passable swing - which is all I'm capable of at best. The...

    How to Pull Off a Look

    Your old camera took evocative pictures, or was there a mist in your room? The blue shirt looks fine with that suit. Looking good.

    An invitation to dress down.

    The heat hasn't been bad but, oy vey, the humidity is vexing, positively vexing. So I have no qualms about dressing down, even way down. I wear shorts, but only because I have fine legs that the world needs to see as examples of leg perfection. If you are a male with leg tattoos then please...

    The Black Dahlia

    It is going to open the Venice Film Festival in August, which has been promising in the past. Some footage was shown as part of a larger preview for multiple films at some point recently and descriptions were posted on IMDB. I'm still looking forward to it, thoug still with reservations. I...

    Ebay ripoff dude?

    I saw that too. Local pick up only and 0 feedback - both warning signs. You should let Ebay know and see what can be done, but, for better or worse, caveat emptor.

    Mako passes away at age 73

    I will try to remember him in The Sand Pebbles and not in Conan the Barbarian. Apparently dying has caused him to miss a chance at voicing some kind of mouse thing in a relaunch of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films. Death can be cruel, and death can be merciful. He was a very good actor...

    I hate summer.

    Heat getting you down? You might consider a different coat. Or no coat. Just a suggestion. ;)

    Hats Direct: "No One Wants an Open Road"

    I'm not sure how many Open Roads I need, but it is the kind of style I'd consider buying, especially in a colour like (dove) grey or dark brown. Consider this a tentative hussah.

    Can I taste that again?

    CHEESE!?!!?!? How can you guys hate cheese when there are so many kinds and types and flavours and textures. I can see you hating some type of cheese, but cheese itself. The mind boggles. The foods I 've hated since childhood I'm still fairly certain I hate: Chicken and bacon. The smell...
