    New Blade Runner Movie NOT a remake!

    Sean Young isn't needed. The actress Greta Gerwig (who looks and sounds like Young) could easily play the role of Rachael.

    Yep! More details: "On July 14, 2011, the San Francisco Silent Film Festival announced their presentation, in association with American Zoetrope, The Film Preserve, Photoplay Productions, and British Film Institute, of Brownlow's 2000 restoration in March 2012 at the Paramount Theatre...

    Saw it in the early 1980s at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Francis Ford Coppola's father, Carmine, conducted the orchestra. I still haven't recovered.

    In December, Harvey Weinstein said that he would hold special 'tour' screenings of "The Artist", accompanied by a full live orchestra conducted by the film's composer. The screenings will be held in Geneva, Paris, Brussels, London, Los Angeles, New York, and possibly Australia...

    I'd say newer. 1974 or so, before the return of thin lapels in '79.

    The lapels look that wide only because they have been left to roll open to the bottom button. Once a good dry cleaner rolls the lapels back to the top button, they'll return to their original width (which isn't all that wide).

    The Artist

    Until the 1930s, white-tied Americans wore either double-stripe trousers, or a trousers with a single, wide tape of silk that had a satin line woven down the middle of it, creating the illusion of a double stripe. In the 1930s, fashionable young Americans began wearing white tie with...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    You might be right. Among other things, sellers sometimes claim that a won item has suddenly been "accidentally damaged", "destroyed", or just "lost", and then offer you a full refund. Several sellers have done just that to me.

    . Did you do alright, BigFitz? It depends on what you were aiming for. Did you want a well-made mass-produced suit with a conservative (but darted) cut? If so, then you did alright. In the mid 1970s, when this suit was made, "Hickey-Freeman" was a well-established, upper echelon brand...

    The Artist

    Most of what this blog says is true, but the author makes inaccurate or incorrect statements here and there. Some examples: "In the close up, you can see that Dujardin wears a tuxedo with flaps on the pockets – again, a highly informal detail that no man would have worn back then." False...

    The Artist

    . After reading too many 'netizen' reviews this morning, it became clear to me that the people who wrote them either loved "The Artist" or really disliked it. Few seemed to be neutral on the subject.
