    Dvds. How many.

    I think I have somewhere in the range of 75-100. Mostly classic films, historically set films, some TV shows, and a few action/thrillers.

    How Many of us Write?

    Hurray for history majors! Academic writing is my life at the moment (and possibly in the future). There isn't much vintage about my academic writing - except for the subject matter! Occasionally I write fiction with a vintage inspired flavor (dolls and gangsters! guns and mysterious dead...

    Oh the pain!

    Most of my grandparents and great grandparents passed away when I was young or before I was born (one great grandpa died in 1940!). Those that were alive when I was little lived far away, so I rarely saw most of them. I'm sad that I didn't talk to them more on the rare occasion when we did...

    Oh, these are great! Thank you for doing all the scanning!! It's so exciting to see inside. 'swellelegant' - that's a great word.

    We walk the walk but do we talk the talk?

    I don't use it, but I saw two silent films that had characters saying Applesauce! in the sense of poppycock. I like it. And how! is another of my favorites. I would use them, but when I'm talking they just don't come to mind. Same with swell.

    Raines

    Anyone watch Raines? I started watching it because the pilot was free on iTunes, and it hooked me. I'm sick of police dramas on TV, but this one is unique enough to keep me interested. Opinions?

    A Painless Classical Education

    Oh, another book came to mind - The American Political Tradition: And the Men Who Made it by Richard Hofstadter It was a book for an American history class I took a year ago. When I got the book I was hesistant to read it because it sounded dry and boring to me (I prefer pop culture to...

    A Painless Classical Education

    For American history Eric Foner's Give Me Liberty! is an excellent book. Lots of pictures (I love pictures). Lots of information too, but not too heavy and tedious to read. If there's a more specific time period or particular issues in American history you're interested in I could probably...

    Vintage Books and Magazines

    I don't have any old books, but I love old magazines. I try to stick to magazines from the 1930s, because otherwise I get carried away and spend way too much money. Film Pictorials (in the early 1930s before they merged with Picture Show) are my favorite: I seem to be able to find them...

    What's Your Favorite Chick Flick!

    Like a lot of others, I'm not too big on chick flicks - I tend to avoid modern romantic comedies if possible. One of my closest friends is super into chick flicks and I'll watch any movie at least once so I've seen a fair amount of them. One of her favorites is 10 Things I Hate About You...

    Am I BLUE...

    Movie watching all the way! I have different movies I watch depending on what shade of blue I feel. Someone else said walks - walks are good medicine. Getting out of home and whatever environment that's given me stress always helps. Putting on headphones, turning up the music as loud as my...

    How popular was/is your name?

    Mallory I'm "ill omened." A few years ago for Christmas my aunt ordered something for me with my name and it's definition on it. Opening the present was funny, "Oh, wow, uh, thanks......ill omened, huh?" An old baby name book also defined Mallory as having to do with a knight's armor. I...

    The End of an Era.

    I don't think there ever was a drastic change from the Golden Era to today. And I do think there is always progress in history, even if somethings appear to be regression, it's still a process of moving forward. I think regression is a matter of opinion, while progression is inevitable...

    Strange questions about your town

    Accents? I would just pester you about Cadbury chocolate. :)

    Show Us Your Classic Movie Portraits

    Great portrait of Barbara Stanwyck! Your post had perfect timing. I just bought these postcards today: (Sadly no scanner where I'm at, so photos will have to do.) I was especially excited that the Norma Shearer and Robert Montgomery cards are the ones that you use to be able to...

    Show us your most precious vintage item .

    Like Paisley, I don't have a picture of my most precious vintage item (and it's tucked away for safe keeping at my parents', so no picture for awhile - kinda defeats the "show" part of the thread, oh well). It's a lavalier style necklace in a lovely flowing art deco style, with a small pearl...

    Bring back dating?

    I know they're based in truth and experience and can be necessary for the point of argument, but still, sometimes generalizations make me cringe. Maybe I'm just the exception to the rule, but my heart is so anti-surrender it might as well be frozen in a block of ice.

    Strange questions about your town

    How about strange questions about your country? I've been asked if football quarterbacks are as respected in real life as they are on TV shows/movies. I've also been asked, "Isn't it insulting to call an American a Yankee?" As a Californian, I could personally care less. I occasionally...

    Show off your vintage desktops!

    Orgetorix - lol too funny! And flat-top, your desktop is so creative! I just took a desktop image from the TCM website. It's been up for weeks now though, I think it's time for something new, er new-old.
