    Remakes That Were Better Than the Original

    Yeah, I've ranted at length about the endless stream of remakes that Hollywood keeps churning out so I won't go into that here. It seems that whenever the suggestion is made that some classic film such as Gone With the Wind or Casablanca, for example, should be remade it's often greeted by an...

    FS: 1950s Vintage Lipstick Holder

    1950s vintage brass lipstick holder, flanked by two cherubs and decorated with rhinestone. I'm not sure what the "silver" is made of. It originally belonged to my mom and I'm trying to find a new home for it. $10 plus shipping.

    This or That

    I saw this thread at another forum and thought it would be fun to introduce it here. State your preference between one or the other and then add your own question for the next poster. I'll start it off with this one -- Enjoy! Stetson or Borsalino?

    The Next Titanic!

    A big Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. I'd like to know who dreamed up this idea and what and how much they smoked. It looks like it was inspired by something from a Popular Mechanics or Popular Science magazine from the '30s combined with bad Sci Fi from the '70s...
