    Video games based in the golden era

    It seems like most of the games set in the era are of the live-action type, doesn't it? I wonder how much of the blame for the failure of the titles was put on the setting instead of the format, and if that's why they don't make so many golden era games anymore. And speaking of golden era...

    New Star Trek

    (Spoilers) My only gripe with it is Spock's little smirk at the climax. He goes from one moment engaged in a suicide mission to take revenge on the man who killed his mother and most of his race, to the next cracking a joke and smirking about it (when Kirk tells him he thought Spock would...

    Video games based in the golden era

    I haven't played any of these, and they're out of print, but: Private Eye The Dame Was Loaded Heart of China Ripley's Believe it or Not: The Riddle of Master Lu (set in 1936) A resourceful person (or a person with Google) might be able to find them ;)

    Indy V

    If Transformers 2 really is doing as well as I've been hearing, I'm afraid a LaBeouf lead's going to look even more appealing to the suits. As for who could replace Harrison Ford, I don't think anybody could. I think too much of Indiana Jones's character is Harrison Ford's near-pantomime in...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Notorious Bettie Page, which was surely a hot topic around here upon release! It felt to me more like a whitewashed tribute than a biopic (which I thought was pretty ironic, considering the theme of the movie -- were they afraid we'd judge Bettie?), but I thought Gretchen Mol was marvelous...

    Remakes

    Personally, I blame Michael Caine. Leaving Sylvester Stallone, Marky Mark and Jude Law to correct all his mistakes! Shameful.

    The Apple Sisters Variety Show

    I guess technically they're a live comedy troupe, but most of us will only see them perform in video, hence: the moving picture! http://www.theapplesisters.com/ (I thought for sure there'd be a thread about them, but I didn't find anything in my search -- sorry if I'm wrong!)

    Chinese hats

    Don't blame the Chinese! We asked for it. Demanded it, even.

    They Say Em' From the Golden Era - Slang & Memorable Phrases

    I love this thread! Call me shallow, but if I was looking for a delivery service and saw "Lickety Split," you'd be my man! lol I think I'm going to have to take "chocks away." I think my aviation-buff dad would've appreciated it. It's a goodie.

    Omega Pocket Watch?

    Congratulations, cool buy! I've been looking at similar watches on eBay. Very Victorian/"steampunk," I thought.

    PULP FICTION,... Old comic books

    DC's been releasing collected volumes of their earliest superhero comics and I jumped at Batman (beginning in '39). They're AWFUL as anything other than a cultural artifact (but I guess that's why we're all here!). As a funny aside, I was researching another 1930's comic book character, "The...

    California lawmaker proposes no spanking law.

    I agree with reetpleat. I think history will judge us harshly that we even had this debate. And hey, I got spanked in the Piggly Wiggly once for putting jars of peanut butter in the shopping cart -- and I like peanut butter more than ever! Spanking is a poor deterrent! lol

    PlayStation 3 surprise

    I was until this moment completely ignorant of Spong! Thanks for the recommendation.

    PlayStation 3 surprise

    Thanks for posting, McPeppers! I hadn't heard about this (those lazy slobs at IGN are still on vacation, apparently). (On a side note, does anybody remember the name of the "Commandos"-like, isometric-view mafia game for the PC from a few years back?)

    Which religious group?

    lol I'm with you, buddy.

    Which religious group?

    I'm curious about why Baptist isn't in the Protestant sub-group, too. I could understand if we were talking Southern Baptist, seeing as it's evolved (d'oh!) into its own unique creature, but I think plain old Baptists consider themselves pretty mainstream. But then I'm a Johnny-come-lately who...

    old fashioned packages

    Mexican Coca-Cola still comes in the big glass bottles (I've only seen it bottled domestically in much smaller bottles lately). And while I'm not sure, the Jarritos bottle looks unchanged.

    Great American Musical R.I.P.

    I hope we can all agree that there's a place for Evil Dead: The Musical, with its "splatter zone" seating and "What the F*** Was That" number. (Don't click if comedy-gore offends!)

    Illustration, Old and... New?

    Gorgeous. And I'd love to have been able to sit in on the meeting where the Coca-Cola people first saw that ad! It looks to me like they bought themselves a great big middle finger.
