    How many leather jackets do you own!?

    At last count I owned a dozen leather jackets/coats, but I think I've gotten rid of a couple since then.

    Valkyrie

    If I remember correctly, The Hunt For Red October used the same device in the beginning of that film, where the opening had the Soviet submarine crew speaking Russian then segue'd into English.

    Valkyrie

    Saw the movie tonight. Enjoyed it on several different levels. My wife even enjoyed it, which is saying a lot because she is neither a Tom Cruise fan, nor a history/WWII buff. She still liked it and even shed a tear at the end. I'm not a Cruise fan either, but I thought he did a very good...

    Movie Houses/Apartments

    Neither are very golden era, but here goes. Favorite Movie House: The father's California ranch house in the original Parent Trap. Favorite TV House: Mike and Carol Brady's House I drew up a full set of plans for this house as a teenager, and then built an architectural model...

    Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT

    So there you have it, folks. Two very differing opinions presented side by side. Nuff said.

    Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT

    I have a confession to make: The first time I watched Sin City I didn't care for it much at all. I thought the graphic style was too distracting and the stories themselves weren't all that great. But then I watched the DVD special features on the making of the film. Once I understand exactly...

    Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT

    See, having never been a fan of the comic, I went in without any expectations except that I was going to see Frank Miller's work. I already knew what to expect from Miller, and was not disappointed. As for the suit color, I think black was the only color that could have worked in this...

    Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT

    Well, I just returned home from an opening day, midnight showing of The Spirit. Not everyone's taste to be sure, but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. (the wife hated it ) I was never a fan of the comic. I knew the name and the image but never read it. Knew nothing of the character...

    Speaking of WWII movies . . .

    Want to make your own WWII epic? Get an HD camera, a few period uniforms, a couple of friends, and do what these guys did in a couple of weekends . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRS9cpOMYv0

    Valkyrie

    All politics aside, the German militaria circa WWII were some of the sharpest dressers in all of military history. That alone makes this movie a must see for me, who's been a fan of "Nazi" style since watching Hogan's Heroes as a kid. Never underestimate the power of a strong corporate image.

    Westerns & Singing Cowboys?

    Good movies, every one. Some of my favorites for sure. But these are mostly either spaghetti or post-spaghetti westerns, which are the polar opposite of the traditional B-western of Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Tom Mix, etc, in terms of style. Suggested reading: "How The West Was Worn" by Holly...

    Anyone recall this scene in a movie(Western)?

    Yeah, I recall that movie was full of great lines. Remember the "No offense" . . . "None taken" exchange between the old indian and the grandma?

    Anyone recall this scene in a movie(Western)?

    Uhhh, I think it's been pretty much established that it was in fact Outlaw Josey Wales. I now remember the scene vividly and even found it on Youtube. Thanks.

    Anyone recall this scene in a movie(Western)?

    Thanks a million. That had bugged me for two days. I knew it wasn't in one of the Spaghetti Trilogies, or Pale Rider. For some reason Josey Wales had skipped my mind. I was unclear of how the scene ended, but I knew he got him some way. Yeah, now I remember it vividly, the part about...

    Anyone recall this scene in a movie(Western)?

    This isn't exactly Golden Era, but this is the best place I know to ask. . . I can't remember what movie it was from, but it's probably a Western. I recall it as Clint Eastwood, but I could be wrong about that. The scene is of a gunfighter backing his opponent down an alley way, pulling...

    Show us your Guns!

    But AOW's cannot be legally fitted with a shoulder stock, lest they become an SBR in the eyes of the law. As far as the state law goes, I live in Alabama where anything is legal as long as you're good with the BATF.

    Sadie Lou, my 6 year old Australian Shepherd/Labrador mix . . . and two of our six parrots: Cadence, a military macaw (left), and Skully, a scarlet.

    Show us your Guns!

    Yeah, I might just buy the SBR version instead. Price is about $600 more, plus the $200 transfer tax, but then everything is nice and legal. What I'd really like to own is an original full-auto, but I can't justify $10k+ for a gun. A friend of mine has one, and I've shot it several times. Very...

    Memorable performances with swagger

    How about Elvis Presley in every movie he ever made. He WAS swagger personified.
