    Cowboy hats losing their cool?

    I remember wearing cowboy hats back in the late 70s, then "Urban Cowboy" came out and it was 'all the rage' to wear cowboy hats, western shirts, boots and listen to Country music. It was the latest 'cool' fad, and tough to prove you weren't just another fad follower. That's about when I started...

    War movie editing errors

    In many ways, it's an absolute miracle that "Casablanca" ever got finished and turned out to be such a good film. But that's a story all in itself. Joseph

    War movie editing errors

    I agree. Sometimes you can also gain an appreciation of how they used to do physical effects in the the old days, live and in real time too. For me, the cgi may look realistic, but at times it nags in the back of my mind that the only way they could have done a certain shot was in a...

    War movie editing errors

    It also happened in "Glory" (1989) too. In the scene when the 54th MA is marching past a group of slaves, Morgan Freeman stops to speak to some children, one of them is wearing a digital wristwatch. Oops. There have been some good examples of continuity errors mentioned so far, and John did a...

    Differences between cutlasses and sabers?

    I think there was an incident or two in the Persian Gulf when US Warships had to fire upon small Zodiac type rafts that were intent on doing damage to the ships as in the bombing attack on the USS Cole. Obversely, I believe that the last time the order "boarding party, away" was given in...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    "Pardon My Sarong" (1942) Critics panned it, public loved it. It was the second highest grossing movie of '42, only losing out to "Mrs. Miniver." Joseph To this day, there are still members of the industry who refuse to believe that escapism has anything to do with why people go to see...

    Your favorite movie quotes

    One scene I've always enjoyed is from "The Immortal Battalion/The Way Ahead." The easy going and personable platoon Lieutenant (played by David Niven) sternly schools the ever bemoaning former civilians turned soldiers under his command, who had been tasked with capturing a key bridge...
