"The Ultimate Indy fedora"
Hey, at least they don't think it's a cowboy hat! I get that a lot!:rage: :rage: -Dan -

The Shadow
Matt could be right. The brim size looks like a HJ McAlpine, (same as the hat Hopkins wears as Van Helsing in Coppola's "Dracula") but the crown is kinda high for a McAlpine. I'd say talk to Art when he get's back up and running. I myself was wanting a hat similar to this one, and was going... -

Art's getting close
Fantastic! (that's with the accent on the second syllable a la British pronounciation, rather than the American enunciation where the accent is on the first syllable!) I'll drop you a line after the holidays concerning both the C&B and the new lid. You've probably got a back log of stuff to... -

Art's getting close
Great to see you're up and at it again, Art! Good thing too, as I've got a hankerin' for a new chapeau that I've been wanting to talk to you about. Are you planning on cleaning/reblocking hats again? My Federation Deluxe and I just got back from London, and the old thing is really... -

Info needed on Akubra
The trailer wasn't that high. It was a float-height trailer. It wouldn't have been that bad at all, but I was shooting video of the parade. Camera was mine. $4K semi-professional model. I managed to hand it off to a friend before I went down. Everyone thought we planned it. All... -

To pinch or not to pinch?¢‚Ǩ‚Äùthat is the question.
I lost a Royal Stetson to excessive pinching. The Federation that replaced it is holding up well. I try not to grab it by the pinch, but I often do anyway. THAT is why I don't hand my hat to any hat/coat check person. I've ended up getting it back looking like they sat on it, or I WATCH... -

Info needed on Akubra
David Morgan carries some great stuff, but his prices, (especially on his bullwhips,) is a little steep. I'd look elsewhere before I bought from them. Anyway... I've had a Federation Deluxe for over a year now. I bought it to replace a vintage Royal Stetson that I finally killed, abd I've... -

War of the Worlds
I once again agree wholeheartedly. The Spielberg film wasn't a BAD movie, it just had about as much in common with the book as that pathos-filled dreck, "Independence Day." -Dan- thefish

Westerns
I got to see "Unforgiven" for the first time recently, and I just didn't care for it the way I thought I would. Couldn't see what the whole "Best Picture" bit was all about. It was an altogether mediocre movie with some shining bits scattered here and there. It was the script. It was well...- thefish

War of the Worlds
A far less interesting this is Spielberg made a movie that he CALLED "War of the Worlds" in protest of the fact that he couldn't afford the RED sports car and had to buy the BLUE one instead. ;)- thefish

War of the Worlds
I agree wholeheartedly. Although "Zero Effect" with Bill Pullman and Ben Stiller was a fantastic indirect retelling of the classic Holmes tale, "A Scandal in Bohemia." But then, it was hardly a "remake."- thefish

Westerns
Oh yes! I have the special edition DVD of OUaTitW! The first scene with Fonda as Frank, with the extreme close-up on his eyes as he guns down the boy! Priceless! And Jason Robards as Cheyanne. Leone got to shoot a good amount of the film in the US around Arizona, Wyoming, etc. All...- thefish

War of the Worlds
I've had several people say that to me. And normally, I enjoy watching a good stinker to just laugh at how awful it's been done. BUT, this is the one exception I've encountered. If you decide to seek it out Feraud, remember that I warned you against it. It is THAT bad. And it is 3...- thefish

War of the Worlds
No, this was a completely different version of War of the Worlds I was talking about. IMDB entry here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0425638/ Timothy Hines wrote the screenplay, (if it can be called that.) Directed it, (if it can be called that,) Edited, (if it can...do you see a pattern...- thefish

If they keep setting the date back on Indy 4, and maintain the concept that Ford is going to play the role, you might get just that! ;) -Dan- thefish

War of the Worlds
A friend of mine, (one I now have to take a bullwhip to for this,) loaned me a DVD of another new version of War of the Worlds done almost as a direct translation of Wells' novel. Directed by Timothy Hines, produced by Pendragon Pictures. I point this out, because you should avoid it. I think...- thefish

Has Hollywood lost its creativity?
Unfortunately, with the stratification of entertainment media these days, (with hundreds of cable channels, the internet, DVD, and video games,) Mainstream Hollywood is only hedging its bets on filmmaking projects that can guarantee a return on investment. Hence so much of the...- thefish

War of the Worlds
I liked that it was sort of a "from the cheap seats" approach. Cruise' character WASN'T a scientist or anyone "in the know." Just running for his life. But, I have to agree, the 50's George Pal version is better in my opinion. There is nothing...NOTHING...as creepy as the sound effects...- thefish

Montecristi Panama hats.
I'll be making another purchase from Robert very soon. I bought a fino Monticristi Optimo from him through e-Bay a couple years ago. I was looking for a good Optimo-styled Panama for a long while, and had seen the prices. GAH! At first, I didn't think that a fino for what I paid...
