The Green Hornet
The film is getting terrible reviews, so you might not have to wait that long for it to show up on Netflix or Redbox ;)- Salty O'Rourke

Orvis Hardwick washed tweed blazer
Jos A. Bank has their two-button Harris tweed jackets on sale at an attractive price - I wonder how much it would cost to have a tailor transform one into a 3-button.- Salty O'Rourke

The Green Hornet
I hope everyone can get a chance to sample at least a few eps - I was a regular view of the original and have managed to collect most of them (thanks to usenet). The great thing about the TV show is that they played it absolutely straight - no tongue-in-cheek, no campy villians, no garish sets...- Salty O'Rourke

Great post-classic noir.

True Grit - the Dude redo the Duke
Part of the problem I have with Bridges' interpretation lies in the Coen's re-imaging of Rooster from "mean" to "sadistic". The bit with LeBoeuf's tongue is a Coen invention, and it makes Cogburn seem malevolent in the extreme. Marquerite Roberts' Rooster was as Portis created him, a mean drunk...- Salty O'Rourke

Mobster Movies
If you like Miller's Crossing you should check out The Glass Key (1942) - you'll notice a few parallels. MC isn't a remake but you can tell the Coens were heavily influenced by Dashiell Hammet's novel The Glass Key (and also Red Harvest). Also check out High Sierra with Humprey Bogart - more a...- Salty O'Rourke

Christy's of London
I inquired about another hat from Hornets just before the holidays, and they replied that they are no longer able to offer customizations as Christys won't do them. Pity, because I would have ordered another Adventurer after the holiday rush. Sarah at Hornets did advise that they would be...- Salty O'Rourke

Ask a question, get an answer
I use one of these (I have both, the travel one is good for hat steaming too) with good results. They will stand on a table so you can have both hands free. Just remember not to let the water get stale; if you leave water standing in a portable steamer and then use it several days later, it will...- Salty O'Rourke

Unpopular movie opinions...
Saw The Black Swan the other day - I thought it was cliched, predictable (thanks in part to the score; the music tips off the audience every time a gotcha moment is coming up) and as manipulative as any mad-slasher teens-in-danger B flick. A-list cast saddled with B-movie story.- Salty O'Rourke

True Grit - the Dude redo the Duke
I definitely recommend you see the original. Take note of how Wayne uses his "good eye" - from the way he cocks his head and rolls his eye around, you feel as if he's truly been absent the eye for years. Actually, his patch was made so he could see through it (so as not to mess up his depth...- Salty O'Rourke

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Two out of three ain't bad... Black Swan spoilers ahead - as if I could spoil this mess any more than the director did... Movie marathon this weekend, saw three new flicks on the big screen: The King's Speech - very enjoyable, good period piece with very good performances. The Fighter...- Salty O'Rourke

True Grit - the Dude redo the Duke
Warning! Possible Spoilers! For grins I dragged out my old copy of the Portis novel this afternoon and re-read it - it's a quick read. I really don't understand all this business about the Coen's version being more true to the novel. The ending is accurate in their version, whereas the 1969...- Salty O'Rourke

True Grit - the Dude redo the Duke
Just got back from the theater; saw it with my son who's home for the winter break from college. Some random thoughts: I saw the original on the big screen in 1969 (I was 11) and have seen it many times since. It's a good film, better than most of Wayne's later work with the exception of The...- Salty O'Rourke

The Green Machine
I'd seen those complaints about Christys' ribbons in another thread, so I was a bit anxious. The ribbon is attached with 4 stitches at 2,4,8, and 11 o'clock - each stitch in the center of the ribbon. These stitches are larger than on similar modern hats, but not extremely so. On the bow, each...- Salty O'Rourke

New Christys Adventurer, Elm green (crossposted from New Hats thread): This green Christys Adventurer arrived Wednesday - not stock, the ribbon is dark brown and I had them (Hornet Hats, London - wonderful company by the way) trim the brim to 2.75" front/back. It's normally 3" f/b, 2.5" on the...- Salty O'Rourke
