Indiana Jones V
I saw the film yesterday afternoon in an empty theater - there was just one other couple. I wasn't even sure that I wanted to see it theatrically (but finally decided I'd seen the other four in theaters the week they'd opened, so why not?) and went in with VERY low expectations... but I liked...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
I also really enjoyed The Gilded Age and am looking forward to the second season. And "Mrs. Astor's mansion" was shot at one of my old stomping grounds, the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers, which was built around the 1877 "Glenview" mansion...- Doctor Strange

Hey Fading Fast, are you aware that there's also a "Page Miss Glory" Warner Bros. cartoon? It's an early Termite Terrace gem, a color Merrie Melodie, made the same year as the feature (yeah, there was corporate content synergy even then!) directed by Tex Avery. It features some cool Deco...- Doctor Strange

I thought Empire of Light was good, but not great. Everything Roger Deakins shoots is a treat to watch. https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/what-was-the-last-movie-you-watched.20830/page-1524#post-2981993- Doctor Strange

A2 Red Knit?
Yes. Notably those made by Aero Leather in Beacon, NY. (Which, coincidentally, is where I'm sitting and typing this... Alas, the city's entire riverside factory district, including the Aero factory, was razed in the seventies for urban renewal.) http://www.acmedepot.com/a2jacket/index.shtml- Doctor Strange

DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects
Essential Marvel Comics artist JOHN ROMITA. While not quite a staggering creative genius at the level of Kirby, Ditko, Adams, Steranko, etc... he was an outstanding artist - especially good at character drama, not just action - and a vital part of the Marvel organization, acting as onsite art...- Doctor Strange

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, I know a lot of us enjoyed this series: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/perry-mason-canceled-hbo-2-seasons-1235508659/ I had mixed feelings about the show, but I was definitely looking forward to another season!- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I gave the new (German) version of All Quiet on the Western Front on Netflix a look. Disappointing. The classic 1930 version is twice as effective in half the running time. This one is mainly just endless, graphic battlefield carnage a la 1917 and the characters - and specifics of its...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
After skipping the last couple of Marvel films, I dragged myself to a theater for Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3. Alas, I didn't like it. Too long and overstuffed, very self-indulgent (as third films often are), and while they wanted this to cap the "trilogy", not all the endpoints for the...- Doctor Strange

Questions: The lowdown on Palm Leaf hats...
I was underwhelmed by the Sunbody "Open Road" I got last year. It was much heavier than my 20-year-old Stetson Panama, and frankly it read as way too much of a "cowboy hat" for this part of the country. It was big and heavy to wear: it was just too much hat for me. I had stupidly followed...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
Yeah, this is NOT your (grand)father's Perry Mason. Same character names, different century! Where the old Raymond Burr series was about a crusading lawyer saving his clients through legal brilliance in a (literally) black and white world, this one is about a 1930s Los Angeles where EVERYONE...- Doctor Strange

I saw this in theaters when it came out, a very enjoyable flick. Neil Simon had fallen in love and married Marsha Mason a few years before writing this film, and the love is there in the character: there's more real feeling and less schtick than usual for a Neil Simon script. But I notice that...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
As a huge silent film fan/collector since the 1970s, I saw it theatrically the week it came out, then immediately got the DVD. I believe that we discussed it here in detail back then. It's not exactly a great film, but as a labor-of-love salute to silent films, there's a lot to enjoy here...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Great review, as usual! I consider Dodsworth to be one of the most mature dramas of the thirties, and it's a big personal favorite... I've owned a complete 16mm print since the pre-VHS days. For starters, I think Dodsworth is one of Sinclair Lewis' absolute best books, and the film...- Doctor Strange

I saw this recently and had a similar reaction. I'm not a Godard fan in general, but this film was such a bizarre mix of elements and so beautifully shot that it held my interest. I'm not saying it's good, and it's certainly not a must-see classic, but I found it a weirdly interesting mess...- Doctor Strange

Star Trek
Sorry, Lizzie. I know your devotion to DS9 and tried to tread lightly too. (It's not DS9, it's me!) But I have to be honest about how it hits me. I didn't like it when it aired, I didn't like it when I made several efforts to catch up on it later (I did try!), and I don't like it when I come...- Doctor Strange

Star Trek
Scotty, I'm with you on DS9. The one classic Trek series that always left me cold. (Enterprise too, to some extent. But I liked it better than DS9.) I just couldn't get into its purposely anti-previous-Trek characters and situations. And then, its long plot arcs were a major problem for me...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
Yes, Edward. AMC got the rights to more or less all of Rice's books. I suspect that another season of Interview will be followed by two or three seasons of The Vampire Lestat, then Queen of the Damned. There's so much story to come in both the vampire and witch series (which, spoiler alert...- Doctor Strange

Star Trek
Tiki Tom - The Center Seat is currently available on Amazon Prime. I watched most of it a few weeks ago. It's okay, but how much you get out of it mainly depends on your own Trek history. For me - as somebody who watched from the first broadcast in 1966 and was an original hardcore fan, one...- Doctor Strange
