The "Instructables" website has a tutorial for making a 'monkey brain' cake similar to the 'chilled monkey brains' in the Temple of Doom. http://www.instructables.com/id/Monkey-Brain-Cake/ My girlfriend told me she looked into making this cake for my birthday, but the ingredients alone...

There are enough remakes being made as it is. Classics like "Them!" do not deserve to be remade as they will surely be remade poorly. What we need out of Hollywood is more original stories. -Allen

"The Blob" was another great movie from this era. -Allen

I am also partial to "Forbidden Planet" and "Them!". I think they are great and certainly represent '50's B sci-fi as I think of it. I also like "War of the Worlds" from 1953. It has a lot of great apparel and vehicles in it too. I think what I like best about "Forbidden Planet" and "War...

If that's how he puts it on... I wonder how he takes it off -Allen

I've had mine for a few years now and love it but only have one problem. Mine seems to have grown a bead under the sweatband and it really digs into my head leaving a red line across my forehead. It's actually the "plastic" piece the stitching is in. The only remedy I can think of is a piece...

Most of the photos I've seen have had the sleeves rolled up also. The tag does read: "incirlik-adana-turkey"... it didn't quite make sense to me when I read it the first time because there is some stitching going through the words. Even if it is a knockoff (I didn't expect it to be a 'real...

That I just have to show off. I'm not 100% sure what it is, it looks to me like a reproduction bomber jacket of some sort: the reason I picked it up. It's a fairly soft leather with (I think) real wool lining. The body of the jacket fits me perfect, but the sleeves are about 4 inches...

An early John Wayne serial: "The Shadow of the Eagle". I enjoyed it and recommend it. -Allen

King Kong! A very impressive collection. Where does one acquire a 'King Kong' novel? -Allen

I think that movie would have done really well if it had been made. That is a great trailer. -Allen
