As Peacoat so correctly put it, the zipper on his Thunderbay was incorrectly installed. Mine (I sent him pics) was "better" BUT it failed soon afterwards. Unzipping itself from the bottom up, time and time again. Like PC I sent mine to Johnson Leathers, replaced it with a better beefier zip and...

I own a Gloverall in military green. 70's vintage I believe. Great early winter coat. Worf

I admit it, I was a fool. I should've known that just because something's advertised here on FL doesn't mean they do business like we do, nor that their products are quality. BUT I like bowling shirts and other casual summer gear so I pressed on the link here in the lounge and went to their...

This IS great propaganda, made during the war it HAD to be. I love this film ( I own it on DVD), but I prefer it's postwar counterpart "The Cruel Sea" instead. In that film there's no "stiff upper lip" for King and Country sentimentality as pictured here. In "The Cruel Sea" the officers are...

"Fallout" - About 2 years ago I was casting about for a new "first person shooter" to play as I was done with "Far Cry". I read many good and bad things about the "Fallout" series of games. I played Fallout 3 several times then went on to "Fallout New Vegas", in my opinion, the BEST game of the...

As a musician, I heard "Live at the Fillmore East" about a million times in High School and College. A VERY interesting band. Never understood the two drummers thing but hey.... it worked for them. I respect their melding of genres and styles. There were some REAL musicians in that band. Sorry...

More heavy wet snow this morning. Wearing a "winter ensemble" from the house of Carhartt. Sheesh.... Worf

https://pitchfork.com/news/aston-family-man-barrett-bob-marley-bassist-dies-at-77/ Better late than never... Aston "Family Man" Barrett" longtime Wailers Bass player. Great bass player, not flashy, just solid, played on many of Bob Marley's hits. I particularly love his syncopated bass line...

Thank you so much for the update. I missed this thread completely the first time around. The break-in and patina are gangbusters! Nice to get updates! Worf

"Saltburn" - Hmmm and interesting film but not a great one as far as I'm concerned. Certainly full of "shocking" scenes and great performances but as far as a coherent/believable story... not so much. I much preferred "The Talented Mister Ripley" which covered the exact same territory without...

In addition to the fine writing and excellent choice of animation style, could it's success also be down to the length of time they had/took to build his world? Multiple seasons grants passionate/good producers and directors TIME to hone and craft their "vision". As I said before... none...

My feelings exactly. By far the best adaptation/portrayal of The Dark Knight ever. It captured me from day one and I'm a Marvel Man! Many have been called but only one was chosen, and this was it. Worf

As I age, I realize I've seen some great movies in my life. Films that affected me greatly and struck me to the core. I've also come to realize that there are some I can only watch once. Every time these films come up again on TCM or some streaming service I have to pass them by. While I...

I, unfortunately, have not seen Suchet's take on Poirot. I did catch the Malkovich one and found it poignant and riveting. But I'm so unfamiliar with the character as a whole that I'm not versed enough to comment on fidelity. Thanks for your views and reviews. I look forward to the next one...

"A Murder in Venice" - I'd avoided Branagh's take of Poirot till now because I was so familiar with this first two films. I've seen numerous versions of "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Death on the Nile" is like watching paint dry. However, several folks who's reviews of films I respect...
