    Do Ladies notice a Man's shoes?

    I most definitely notice men's shoes, especially on the Tube when you're trying your utmost not to make eye contact with other people. These days I notice mostly trainers with everything, or battered and dirty and well past their throw-away date footwear, or this being summer (shudder)...

    Talks of "Christine" remake

    ...or Judas Priest... "Not Fade Away", my favourite Buddy Holly song, probably because of that. I also love that aggressive energy of "Keep a-Knockin'". Oh, hell, there's not a stinker on the whole soundtrack. Ooh, and "Harlem Nocturne"! They had faces then... Another point of...

    Talks of "Christine" remake

    But dear lord, if I had to sit through a remake with a soundtrack of 80's music, I'd want to crawl into a burning car and be crushed! :eeek: I think at the time the original came out I was well into heavy metal and in no way into rock and roll, but I still bought that soundtrack, it was that...

    Talks of "Christine" remake

    Still building up my MST collection, buy a couple every Halloween. We used to have it every week on our Sci-fi Channel, before said channel went well south... I really liked him as well, a perfect combo of geeky creepy cuteness! I really enjoyed, though, the foul-mouthed, cigar chomping...

    Talks of "Christine" remake

    A Hummer would be even better! :) That's the version I saw as well - I don't think I could have stood it without the commentary! "Manos: Hands of Fate" would be considered Oscar-worthy next to that turkey. I luuuurrrve MST3K!

    Talks of "Christine" remake

    My take on remakes: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Of course they will saturate the thing with CGI, it's inevitable, unfortunately. Why don't they go and remake something crappy, like say "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies"? That would be a true...

    The general decline in standards today

    As I mainly hang out in the Powder Room, I second what LizzieMaine has said: for the most part when there is a query-response-discussion, there is a thank you for the info (or a smiley face or what have you), so I've never been aware of it being an "issue". Speaking for myself, I've always...

    The Closet Door is Open - Lavender Ladies & Gents of the Golden Age of Hollywood

    It's available to rent so I probably should just so I don't die ignorant, although in the main "experimental" filmmakers leave me pretty cold. From your description, C-dot, it sounds like his problem was being born several decades too early - "graphic and frequently sadistic" would slot right...

    The Closet Door is Open - Lavender Ladies & Gents of the Golden Age of Hollywood

    Just by coincidence there was a documentary on 2 nights ago called "Fabulous! The Story of Queer Cinema" which traced the roots of gay cinema back to a 1947 film by...Kenneth Anger! I knew he had some importance as a gay filmmaker (perhaps as a filmmaker period, I really know little about his...

    1940s wardrobe essentials

    On the positive side, there seem to be loads of 40's skirt patterns kicking about, and in the scheme of things are about the easiest items to sew up, if you're so inclined...

    The Closet Door is Open - Lavender Ladies & Gents of the Golden Age of Hollywood

    I've been fascinated by Golden Era films ever since year dot, and unfortunately Kenneth Anger's trash-fest was one of my first reads on the subject and made a huge impact on me at the time. I've had to spend much of my adulthood educating myself out of the unsubstantiated rumours and out and...

    The Closet Door is Open - Lavender Ladies & Gents of the Golden Age of Hollywood

    What? The Duke? I believe the beautiful Richard Barthelmess was rumoured to swing both ways; Nazimova, Clifton Webb and the Sal Mineo/James Dean/Natalie Wood stories spring to mind... Funnily enough, as I write this my copy of "Wonder Bar" is staring at me; I seem to recall some pretty...

    the morning routine

    Alarm goes off. Exactly 30 minutes of hitting the snooze button. Roll over and get my face thoroughly licked by my lurcher and rub his chest 'til he purrs. If I have to work or go to dance class, off to the shower, then back to the bedroom to collect aforementioned lurcher and 2 greyhounds to...

    ^ That's an idea - I'll let my fingers do the walking next time I'm due for a cut and see if anything comes up. I would love to know if these diagrams are taught as standard...

    The Middy Thread

    You got it in one - I'll be dousing my head in heavy-duty gel for the next few months to keep the strays tamed until it grows out again, it looks like! I've pretty much done the tour of most of my locals, all much of a muchness with blaring r&b and pin-straight styles the specialty. I would...
