    Malta's oldest working prostitute turns 100

    Hum, er, eeeyaaaah, iyaaah, uhhhhum, ah, well, ahhh, uh, oh. Oh my. This is, uh...hmmmm.....disturbing...in so many ways.

    The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo-An Unnecessary Remake?

    OK, I am intrigued. Do you recall any examples she mentioned of these things? Murder and sex are nearly universal, at least anywhere civilized.

    Downton Abbey - I'm hooked

    I see in the product description for the to-be-released DVD set, that one of the special features is 'fashion and uniforms'! I usually resist the 'also interested in' items but the hard copy book about the "world of Downton Abbey' sounded too good to pass up.

    Found.

    So then, it's for sure this is the same one that was lost? What is the provenance? Are you the real owner? Your ownership is only implied. Have you simply borrowed it to show? That seems unseemly.

    Downton Abbey - I'm hooked

    In the prospective US release, via Amazon, it's described as a special 'extra' http://www.amazon.com/Masterpiece-Classic-Downton-Original-Unedited/dp/B005Q1W10A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1326477238&sr=8-2 Same thing, I suppose.

    The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo-An Unnecessary Remake?

    Don't quite a few of us remember many subtitled movies as though we had seen them without? If they are placed correctly and not overlong, they are very effective and hearing the dialogue in the 'native' language adds to the texture of the experience. Well, for many.

    Malta's oldest working prostitute turns 100

    She's a fake prostitute, then? And the 'senior discount' coupon is bogus as well?

    The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo-An Unnecessary Remake?

    The distinction is noted. Would this be like the many productions of Shakespear that use novel sets and costumes for an 'original' or at least different interpretation of the material? I get that. I have not seen the American film but I understand from a review in the WSJ that it is nearly...

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    I am guilty of the time travel fantasy but any five minutes of today involving tissue of several types is enough to make me very glad to be in the here and now.

    "Hugo"

    Contrast with a Sci Fi film like 'Blade Runner', where most of the costumes could have been bought new in Eastern Europe and instead were all done from scratch.

    The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo-An Unnecessary Remake?

    I started this thread out of sadness and frustration that so many potential viewers will not see a good foreign film because of the tedium of subtitles. Many posts also point out the added commercial horsepower 'big names' like Daniel Craig, provide. I think we can all concede that movies are a...

    Men who can cook.

    To the original post, it only turns on digestion. I have cooked supper every Sunday, and lately Saturday evening for years. Mrs. F is appreciative but sparing in compliments-it's her nature. The most tangible reward is the unsupervised self- medication allowed during the process. And the...

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    Won't you all go blind?

    Reproduction Menswear?

    Old Town http://old-town.co.uk/products.htm in the UK makes '20's -30's style clothing. It's not inexpensive but nice quality and they are very nice to work with. I have some very good trousers from them. Miss Willy will help you.

    The Nazi Women exposed as every bit as bad as Hitler’s male followers

    Wasn't Unity Mitford so smitten with AH that she tried to kill herself? Well, as so many millions discovered, he was to die for.

    Stroller - Morning Dress only?

    You mention something unique to the UK that I have read on other threads/forums, about this now being 'Masonic' garb. That is interesting. I also thought of cocktail attire but most of the few I ever attend are evening affairs where morning or day attire might be noticed. Well, at least by...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    :eeek: Just when I had forgotten some of the '70's. I admit I saw it. I recall Raquel did not play the role of 'Mother' or 'Speed'.

    Downton Abbey - I'm hooked

    Yes, PM me, please. All I can glean online is something about Marconi. Seems unlikely. I know she did not get her flu shot.

    Downton Abbey - I'm hooked

    Thanks but not at work, I can't. The IT filters block it. I suppose I should not be on here during working hours anyway! Thanks just the same! I am not worried about a 'spoiler' since the plot is only one attraction of the program and I am old enough to promptly forget it anyway.

    Downton Abbey - I'm hooked

    Alright, what's Lavinia Swire's big secret? Why was she so quick to correct her 'acquaintance' with Mary's new creepy Rupert Murdoch wannabe suitor, after he described her as a 'friend'? And what were they talking about outside, in conspiratorial tones, when the Earl's sister encountered them...
