    Film Noir Favorites

    So many great ones--I love Double Indemnity, Laura, DOA, Dark Passage--I count Sunset Blvd and Gilda as Film Noir, too. I love neo-noir--not spoofs of film noir, but latter day offerings like Choose Me and even that great French classic Diva..... Men in hats, wet, dark streets, stylish...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    I had a refreshing Campari and soda--one of my favorite summer drinks. It reminds me of several things (a much-loved aunt, Venice at dusk, Negronis, etc.) but especially of Richard deVere's line in To the Manor Born in which he talks about the established London business men--the "city"--as a...

    Frustrated! Addressing people by their title, and other 'old-fashioned' sayings

    I always address the rector of my church as "Rector" as in "Hello, Rector, that was a jolly good sermon this morning....." Everyone else calls him Father Gary or worse--just plain Gary. Not me.

    Vintage cologne

    There is at least one other thread on this topic. My favorites of the old colognes still in production are Dunhill for Men (1934), Caron's Pour un Homme (also from 1934) and Knize Ten (1925)--all great, old scents and because they are still made they are as fresh as any modern scent you would...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    A St. George's Gin Martini with Lillet rose for vermouth. Wow. As it is in the 90s here in So Cal, we had a bone dry Cotes de Provence with dinner. La Vie en Rose!

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    I had a Virgin Mary--I love Bloody Marys but didn't feel like the booze for some reason. Anyway, with or without, this is a great drink! The Grenadier in London makes the best, I think.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Last night I watched "Too Many Christmas Trees," the Christmas episode of The Avengers from the Emma Peel period (1965). A seasonal favorite at our house. Great plot, the usual, wonderful Avengers stylishness and dialogue and an amusing reference to Pussy Galore. Christmas done right... as...

    Wow--you sure know your stuff. Thanks, will look into the DB resistor. Will have to wait until January as a small Christmas tree--with icicles and vinatge lights--is now in place for the duration!
