    "The Pacific" - can it possibly live up to expectations?

    I'm going to buck the trend here, and say...I appreciate this more than Band of Brothers. I think Pacific is doing a good job illuminating the difference between the European Theater from the Pacific Theater. I own, and enjoy BoB very much. But I enjoy the way the story is constructed in Pacific...

    Fortunate for you, it sounds like you found a home in Borneo. The stupid things people get tattooed will no longer concern you!

    My one and a half new Aero Jackets

    You mentioned your jacket is a Highwayman/Cheyenne hybrid - can you explain what parts are from a Cheyenne? -Jake

    Just talking about my M-422a

    Hey guys, I just posted a new entry on my blog about my first and truest jacket love - my Real McCoy's NZ M-422a. It holds a special place in my heart as the jacket that opened the door to the insanity of flight jackets and denim. Ah... :) Anyway, the blog's my signature. Feel free to check...

    New Star Trek

    I'll have to watch it again. Nothing you have described was clear to me. In fact I thought it was clear this was a new, parallel universe. I thought the writers set it up that way so as not to invalidate the large body of work already created.

    New Star Trek

    There are many Scots who would disagree with your assertion that it's simply accent. Many Americans likely think "Asian American" and leave it at that, whereas many people from countries in Asia, or people who are Asian Americans can very obviously see the difference between peoples ancestry...

    New Star Trek

    So was it racist they had a Canadian play Scottie in the original series and an Englishman in the new movie? If the definition of racist is: "discriminatory on the basis of race" - there is nothing racist about allowing a Korean-American to play a character previously played by a...

    Racist? Did they, uh, prevent Japanese actors from auditioning?

    New Star Trek

    It's getting unbelievably positive reviews at Rotten Tomatoes. A rating of 100% fresh. I'm surprised it's been that positive so far.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I was told by an old vet they called the Storekeepers "keys" - for obvious reasons. I got the jacket with the insigina on it, and for that reason keep it on. If I am ever approached by a vet, I always IMMEDIATELY admit to having purchased the jacket as is, and that I am not a vet. It hasn't ever...

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    1950 to 1952? Wow! Thanks for the detailed information. I had no idea. I picked it up off ebay for $70 last year. Thanks, -Jake

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I believe my pea coat is from 1965 or earlier. It buttons both ways, has corduroy lined pockets and has the early style cuffs. Other than some repair needed for the armpits (the stitching has come loose), the lining is in great shape. And the outside is in great shape. Probably get it dry...

    New Star Trek

    I look at this "prequel" in the same way as Casino Royale was - more of a reboot than a true prequel. So, with that perspective in mind, I am still excited about this movie.
