    You Ain't SEEN Nuthin' yet...

    the whole augmented reality / transhumanism trip is human folly on a grand scale if you ask me. it used to be that techno-geeks who cared about such stuff only wrote or read sci-fi novels and comics. now they're director of engineering at Google. look up Ray Kurzweil if you want to see an...

    Hitchcock's Vertigo is currently number one in the critic's poll (voted for by film critics, academics, programmers etc.), knocking Citizen Kane off the top after fifty years: http://www.bfi.org.uk/news/50-greatest-films-all-time i have mixed feelings about Vertigo. i find the whole premise...

    Lizzie, i haven't seen any of the recent mumblecore films, but i have seen many of the early 90s 'indy' precedents. for me, 'art films' have to be first and foremost visually interesting, beautifully shot. low budget / wobblycam won't cut it.

    Overly appreciated movies?

    i'm guessing you mean directors like Wim Wenders, Peter Greenaway, Jim Jarmusch ... the art house directors ? i think they need to be taken on a case by case basis. i can't abide much of Lars Von Trier's work for example, but i love many films by Ingmar Bergman, Bela Tarr and Andrei Tarkovsky...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    i'd never read anything about Hoffman's substance abuse problems. i only knew of him as a talented actor, so i'm shocked to hear of this.

    The Vintage Tailoring Thread

    belt back and patch pockets is more 30s than 40s.... perfectly fine on a 'sporty' fabric. if your pattern is the more relaxed late 40s style i'd skip the belt back and save it for a more 30s project.

    Norfolk Jacket

    some Americans call practically any jacket with a belted back and patch pockets a 'Norfolk style' but for me a jacket really needs the vertical straps either on front , back or both to qualify as a Norfolk, and preferably an all-around belt too.

    1920s suits

    the main problem with mine is the lack of waist (which i wasn't expecting at all) coupled with the flare of the skirt. gives it all a /\ look. review of mine here: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?69703-1920s-suits&p=1636195&viewfull=1#post1636195 volv, i thought you were...
