  1. Mr E Train

    Television Noir

    Well, they started filming it in color, and they realized that kids thought Dr. Smith was funny, so they started playing up the humorous aspects of his character. Either way, he was great, though.

    Is anyone else catching American Pickers?

    They need to do an American Pickers/Hoarders crossover special. That would be really interesting.

    Is anyone else catching American Pickers?

    Yep, it's a great show. I find the personalities and situations on Pawn Stars to be more entertaining (although I think a lot of stuff is staged), but I can identify more with American Pickers because I come from a family of pickers, and one of my best friends is a hardcore picker/collector. I...

    That's not gonna happen, because there aren't any. ;)

    Television Noir

    That's an interesting thing to say, because I would never have thought of Lost in Space as noir. I guess I could see that, though, because Dr. Smith was much more of a malicious character at the beginning rather than the lovably cowardly and curmudgeonly bumbler that he became.

    Television Noir

    The Tim Burton Batman movies actually made Batman cool again (although looking back and comparing them the current movies, they look almost as campy as the 60's TV show), but the coolness was short-lived after Joel Schumacher got hold of the franchise. Despite the excellence of the Christopher...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I watched part of The Road to Morocco and all of The Road to Utopia on TCM today. Very entertaining, and I loved how they constantly made self-referential jokes and broke down the fourth wall. I saw that The Greatest Show on Earth was going to be on, but I didn't watch it. I saw it years...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Yes to the monstrosity part, and no to the worth watching part. I remember going to see it in the theater because one of my dad's favorite movies was the original Sting. I was just a kid and I knew it was bad.

    Bad repro looks

    I agree. She didn't have the hairstyle of the standard housewife and mother that was typically portrayed in the era, but she didn't seem like a standard housewife and mother, either. She was sweetly eccentric and strangely indulgent of her kids, seeming very much like a real person, not a...

    What kind of hats are these?

    The top two, I'm not sure what you'd call those. The bottom left, the Guy Williams 50's TV series Zorro hat, that looks like a standard gaucho hat. The bottom right, Anthony Hopkins in The Mask of Zorro, that's probably a gaucho hat as well, but with a lower crown. It actually kind of looks...

    Classic private eye and police shows come to mind. Peter Gunn, Johnny Staccato, Dragnet.

    What's your alltime favorite movie?

    Yes, yes it is. I don't think I can do it.

    Colorizing Old Movies

    I'm with you on the dislike of pan and scan. What's even worse to me now is the 120Hz HDTV's that have what Samsung calls "Auto Motion Plus", but is basically an effect to reduce motion blurring. When I was shopping for my first HDTV a year or so ago, I couldn't figure out why the cheaper 60Hz...

    Excellent movies in the most difficult sub genre

    They should have just called it Those Wacky Nazis!

    Colorizing Old Movies

    Are they still colorizing movies? It was a fad back in the 80's and 90's when Ted Turner started doing it, but I haven't heard anything about it in ages, so I figured it fell out of favor. It's not like colorizing old black & white movies is going to give them that much larger an audience...

    Excellent movies in the most difficult sub genre

    Inglourious Basterds, although not purely a comedy, is pretty funny. And for a Vietnam POW movie, Rescue Dawn has a surprising amount of laughs.

    HATS IN VINTAGE CARTOONS!!!!!!!!!!

    Now that's creative.

    need my Fed IV to shrink a little...I am impatient

    My advice would be to be patient, wear the hat (maybe put some felt sizing shims underneath the sweatband until the hat shrinks) and let sweat and precipitation do their thing. Putting it in the shower probably wouldn't hurt it, but all that stuff they put in tap water--fluoride, chlorine...
