    Squeeze a little lime in it and you're good to go. And with Fever Tree tonic you can't go wrong. No flavor stomping with that combination. Cheers! Dan

    My Longines

    Hard to tell from the face, but if that is an automatic that should be a CAL. 19A (you can tell by the subsecond hand). Looks like it has ben kept in pretty good shape for 45 years. :eusa_clap One of the most accurate pieces in my collection is my Longines Grand Prix CAL. 19AS. The only...

    Period Films and Inaccuraces

    We had just recently watched Crystal Skull again. The more I view it the more I like certain elements. But, I think the one thing that bugs me the most is not the Nuclear Fridge or the flying monkey Mutt in the jungle, but Mutt's ride. His bike. A classic bike lover like me noticed this error in...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Top Secret! & Airplane! on TCM last night. Glad they had those on because I needed a good laugh after this week. I just love spoof movies like that with plenty of sight gags & witty comic dialog, even if they are cheesy. :) Cheers! Dan

    Gin Lovers Unite!

    Well folks the 12 Bridges Gin is a hit. It is a good blend of London Dry Gin & Danish Genever Gin. It is infused with cucumber & melon, just slightly so the fruit notes are in the background. Now, to my taste buds I picked up a note of a little brineyness, sort of like inhaling foggy sea air...

    McGregor Drizzler or Baracuta G-9...

    Well, the Drizzler arrived yesterday. The fit is perfect. I typically wear around a 46. Typically when I get something from, lets say Gap, I have to go for an XL, this one is a perfect fit in a Large. This is going to make a nice warm weather jacket & look mighty stylish to boot. It's a good...

    McGregor Drizzler or Baracuta G-9...

    On sale! I found a McGregor Drizzler on sale at Restoration Hardware of all places. It was normally $79 but they had it on sale for $21 with $6 S&H. Not a bad deal. They only have the stone & dark blue. Sort of found it by accident. Was Googling for a Drizzler and went to the images section and...

    Golden Era Asian Films

    Memoirs of a Geisha, Empire of the Sun. Those are two that first come to mind. Modern made period films. The Quiet American, both the 1958 version with Audie Murphy & the 2002 version with Michael Caine and Brandon Fraser. Seven Years in Tibet was rather enjoyable. Anyway, those are ones I...

    Depp's new movie The Rum Diary set in Puerto Rico 1960

    Not sure of the year of this car, but it appears to be a Buick Roadmaster. My guess is 1949 but I could be way off. In any case I like it, it is one of my favorite models of car from that era. Cheers! Dan

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    'How the States got Their Shape' on the History Channel. Very interesting learning & history. Like the eastern portion of Tennessee was for about 4 years the State of Franklin. I always love learning about stuff like that, makes me a more well rounded person. Cheers! Dan

    Depp's new movie The Rum Diary set in Puerto Rico 1960

    Think Hunter S. Thompson, then you get the picture regarding the dreadful shades. ;) I agree, those shades are bad, and may work on JD, but not many else. Cheers! Dan

    Sining in the rain

    Ah, what a fun film. Picked this one up at Target a while back. It was part of a four pack of films I think put out by TCM. It also had Meet me in St. Louis & Band Wagon. The music & the dancing numbers were top notch. This is one of my warm & fuzzy must watch films. Cheers! Dan

    Hunter S Thompson's THE RUM DIARY w/ Johnny Depp

    I'm looking forward to this one. It might not be as out there as Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas but it should prove very interesting. So it appears that it will be directed & the screenplay done by Bruce Robinson. The only one I remember him directing is Jennifer 8, a little mind bender from...

    Depp's new movie The Rum Diary set in Puerto Rico 1960

    Here are some pics from the set. So far from what I can see here Colleen has done another great job with the costuming. This is some stuff I think I would like to wear. Dig on the motorcycle & side car. I think this is the bike that they should have used in Crystal Skull instead of a half-baked...

    Can I get this fabric in modern times?

    And from what I've been seeing around both fabric weaves are making a new comeback. I see it on OTR suits in Kohl's regularly. Still not common, but making it's way up. Cheers! Dan

    The Malone jacket...

    In this shot it is definitely corduroy. Tweed or corduroy, either way it's a neat coat. Cheers! Dan

    The Malone jacket...

    Bump! Here is an article on the clothes of the film & some more pictures. The articke says that Malone's coat is a Norfolk Jacket in a brown twill tweed. It seems to have some elements of a Norfolk but not all. I guess similar to a Keepers jacket without the shoulder gun pad...
