    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...

    Jacket Question

    Some of us have had very good experiences with Wested: https://wested.com/en-us/collections/other-film-jackets/products/custom-made-german-u-boat-jacket-as-used-in-dr-who-4500-p

    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 -...

    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...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    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...

    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...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    On Chesil Beach (2017)... A couple honeymooning at an English seaside resort in 1962 - despite how accomplished they are otherwise - are both clueless virgins... and things go terribly wrong. I'd tried watching this once before and gave up quickly, but I managed to get through it yesterday...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Scarlet Letter has been adapated many times. There's a surprisingly good silent film with Lillian Gish from 1926 directed by the great Victor Sjostrom: And re Girl with Green Eyes, I saw it last year and liked it. I posted a brief review...

    Show us your photography

    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...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    A recent film, Pain Hustlers with Emily Blunt and Chris Evans. They're big pharma sales execs who essentially pay off doctors to prescribe their fentanyl-based pain medication, leading to huge profits and Wolf of Wall Street-like excess. But ultimately, Blunt realizes that besides making...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Excellent analysis, Edward. The only other thing I'll say about B:TAS now, and which you alluded to, is that it was the first treatment of the character outside of the comics to take the approach that Batman is his real personality, and Bruce Wayne is the disguise. This revelatory take on...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I've been watching The Power of Film, a new documentary series on Turner Classic Movies. It's one of the best film docs I've seen in a long time, loaded with fascinating observations about movie storytelling... and storytelling in general. Unlike the last film documentary series I watched (The...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Of course, Worf. It had the advantage of having hours, whole seasons, to refine its characters, etc. in a way that even a series of films (like Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy) can't. But really, the thing that made the show special is that the entire production staff - Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, Eric...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Of course, I've been on the B:TAS is the BEST EVER adaptation of Batman! team since it first aired. I've said so here dozens of times over the years. While there have been some darn good Bat-projects since it was made, none have understood the character and his world better.

    Flight jackets with leather (not knitted) cuffs/collar/waistband

    I'll go a step further in recommending Wested - many of their jackets, including the Indy styles, are available in custom versions for a mere $30 more. Custom sleeve and body lengths, choice of lining (go all cotton!), choice of leather type and hardware... If you're like me and no...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I must disagree, it IS Brideshead Revisited... crossed with The Talented Mr. Ripley and set in 2006. I thought it was okay, not great. But I loved that Emerald Fennell chose to shoot it in the classic 1.33:1 aspect ratio.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I wanted to like See How They Run more, but I found Sam Rockwell's protagonist inspector character somewhat off-putting. Which is weird, because Rockwell is frequently the best thing in a film - he's sometimes the savior of a weak one. But as you observed, it does the period well. It's got...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    One of Woody's best - and best-natured - films. I've loved it since it first opened. And it seems even better now, because unlike when it appeared in the 80s, he isn't still making another impressive film every year. (Just in the four years before Radio Days - Zelig, Broadway Danny Rose, The...
