sterkowski caps
So, getting this thread back on track... I just received a Sterkowski "Elvis" cap in graphite gray. This is my first exposure to Sterkowski, and I'm quite impressed with the materials and build quality. I paid $62 plus $8 shipping, and it arrived in 10 days. I ordered my usual size (57) and...- Doctor Strange

What hat are you waiting for today?
I've got a new Sterlowski cap on the way, tracking says it's currently with Customs in New York. I wanted a warm-weather, cotton, ventilated cap for those brutally hot days (like TODAY!) when my Akubra Cattleman is too much, or there's a good chance of it raining on my Stetson Panama. It's...- Doctor Strange

DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects
Donald Sutherland was a fine actor, but for all his flashier performances, it's his more quiet, introverted roles that I find even more interesting: Ordinary People, Pride & Prejudice... I'm not sure if it's available to view anywhere now, but I recall him being excellent in a 1980s TV movie...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Great review, FF. I just love this movie. A few additional notes... Let's recall this isn't an original story, it's from a Rafael Sabatini novel. Sabatini also wrote "The Sea Hawk", which Flynn would star in later, but there'd been an earlier silent adaptation of The Sea Hawk... and some of...- Doctor Strange

What was your first leather jacket?
In 1981, inspired by Raiders, I got my first leather jacket at age 26. I don't have a picture, but it was an undistinguished, imported-from-Argentina black cowhide from a department store. Thin, smelly cowhide, A-2 style collar, basic brass zip with no windflap, slash pockets, side-waist...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I saw This Could be the Night last year - definitely an odd film with Simmons in an usual role. Of course, she's always great. So Long at the Fair (1950) with Jean Simmons and Dirk Bogarde, directed by Terence Fisher (later a key house director for Hammer Films). I'd seen it decades ago and...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
FF, I watched Until They Sail about two weeks ago and planned to do a review. Outstanding little film with a great cast, well-directed by Robert Wise. You covered it very well, so let me just throw out some impressions: I love Joan Fontaine, but I found her miscast here. She looks too old...- Doctor Strange

DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects
Speaking as a vintage-1976 Deadhead, re two drummers... We always used to say that the Allman Brothers' drummers played in unison for greater power and momentum, whereas the Dead's drummers played around one another to enable rhythmic flexibility. Yeah, it's an oversimplification. But...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
Well, as I'm always telling people when showing them my film photos, "Black and white is abstract by its very nature: it doesn't make images that reflect reality anything like our vision sees it." So in that sense, you're right that Scott's current age is less apparent AND less important -...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
Edward... I lost access to Disney a while ago, the last Marvel series I watched was Moon Knight... which like most of them, underwhelmed. WandaVision was the only one that really impressed me. And Hawkeye was better than I expected - that Rogers: The Musical sequence is hilarous. I didn't...- Doctor Strange

Edward, since you liked Daredevil, be sure to check out Jessica Jones. It's the best of the Netflix Marvel shows, full stop. And I say this as an old-school Marvel guy who'd never encountered the character before. It's gutsy and disturbing. Krysten Ritter is tremendous in the role, a...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
I watched two of the three episodes of Netflix's new Testament: The Story of Moses to get into a Passover frame of mind. This is one of those hybrid series a la The History Channel: a docudrama with talking head commentary from rabbis, priests, scholars - much of which goes out of its way to...- Doctor Strange

I recently got myself another vintage film camera in near-mint condition, an Olympus Pen S, made from 1960-64. Like my Pen F SLR, it's a half-frame camera that uses standard 35mm film, but shoots two 18x24mm vertical frames in place of each normal 24x36mm horizontal frame, yielding twice as...- Doctor Strange
