Folks you love to hate! Tell us your Favorite Film Villains!
Walter White, with fewer and fewer redeeming qualities after the first few episodes. Fascinating character, but in the end a ruthless, greedy and power mad drug dealer who wanted to be feared.- skydog757

Folks you love to hate! Tell us your Favorite Film Villains!
There are plenty of villains/villainesses in Disney films that fit this category; fortunaley they almost always fall to their deaths in some manner . . .- skydog757

Folks you love to hate! Tell us your Favorite Film Villains!
Piper Laurie as the mother in Carrie (1976) was no prize either. Although Nancy Allen and John Travolta (as pretty despicable high school bullies) were the catalysts for Carrie lashing out at the prom, it was Carrie's mother who gave her a lifetime of abuse. That abuse culminated in her...- skydog757

Folks you love to hate! Tell us your Favorite Film Villains!
Amy Elliott Dunne as the vindictive, lying, manipulative wife who frames her husband for her murder in Gone Girl (2014); then murders a man who would do anything in the world for her and blames him for her kidnapping, rape and other assorted drama. Her sense of entitlement and total lack of...- skydog757

FS: "Maddest Hatter" fedora size 7 1/22
Got it the other day; very nice and very happy. I was a bit concerned that the color might run more towards lavender, but the pics give a good representation. Thanks, Rod B.- skydog757

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Issues like that are going to happen in shooting action scene multiple takes. What bothers me is when they shoot a period piece (say the 1950's) in films or especially on television, every car you see looks show room new. I mean, I assume that the staff contacts or reaches out to vintage car...- skydog757

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Patton (1970). George C. Scott is absolutely magnificent; he carries himself like a man who has lived his entire life in and for the military. The last time I saw it was at a drive in(!); needless to say my perspective has changed quite a bit since then.- skydog757

Why did we make ourselves into walking advertisements?
I can understand the need to control or protect your brand. When I lived in Detroit, there was a huge mural on the side of party store that showed Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble carrying a case of liquor bottles and a keg of beer (Fred might even have been saying "Yabba-dabba-do!). I'm sure...- skydog757

Why did we make ourselves into walking advertisements?
I think college and high school varsity jackets have been around a long time; it's an easy way to show your support or allegiance and display your awards/medals. Now, shilling for a product is something else again.- skydog757

What was the last TV show you watched?
Finally started House of Cards. Heard nothing but good things about it for years and I'm a Kevin Spacey fan from a while back (remember Wiseguy?) so it was inevitable that I would watch it at some point. I tend to hesitate when starting a series, as I know that if I like it, it will become a...- skydog757

JJ Hat Center & Pork Pie Hatters NYC
Bought a Wide Brim fedora over the phone from JJ the other day; my size was shown to be out of stock online but Claire took the time to search the store and get back to me with the last one in my size. Great people to deal with and I love that a business will still manually look through their... -

There is some anti-hat propaganda going on...
Al Capone a "fashion icon"? " . . . the perennially cool Steve McQueen" as someone who revived fedoras in the 50's? Steven McQueen is cool, but the next time I see him wearing a fedora will be the first time. He had a lot of influence on style in the 60's, but it was towards a more casual... -

What hat are you waiting for today?
Just ordered the Wide Brim Diamond from JJ Hatters; a young woman by the name of Claire was kind enough to check their inventory and managed to find my size (it was listed as SOLD OUT online). $55 for a USA made fur felt shipped with box is a deal I couldn't turn down. I really don't need...
