    New Akubra Bogart, black, size 57 (7-1/8)

    Brand new and unworn, perfect condition. A beautiful, elegant hat. Atypical red/gold(?) colored lining. See HatsDirect, other dealers, and the official Akubra site for pictures. I don't want it because it's not in the Carbon Grey that I special-ordered and waited three months for! Since...

    A New Take on "It's A Wonderful Life!" NYT.

    An interesting analysis of It's A Wonderful Life in today's NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/19/movies/19wond.html?_r=1&ref=arts

    AFI's latest top ten list - classic genres

    http://www.afi.com/10top10/ Typically, they mostly just rounded up the usual suspects, but there are some offbeat (and a few WTH?!?) choices too. As usual, the best thing about this is that publishing the list - and the inevitable TV special - may introduce a lot of folks to great films that...

    Phil Schaap profile in The New Yorker

    If you've ever listened to Schaap's fascinating, endlessly detailed, mega-scholarly jazz presentations on WKCR (89.9 FM in NYC, or wkcr.org), you may find this interesting: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/05/19/080519fa_fact_remnick It's a typically too-long New Yorker article -...

    Anyone subscribe to Maltin's "Movie Crazy"?

    I don't subscribe to the newsletter, but I visit Maltin's web site every few weeks to see what's new. Back in 1982, I had the privilege of attending his final course on Hollywood Cartoons (which he had given for almost a decade) at the New School. Not so much a class as a gathering place for...

    R.I.P. Arthur C. Clarke

    I'm surprised that nobody has started a thread about this yet: I know I'm not the only old-school SF fan here... Arthur C. Clarke wrote some of the very best science fiction stories and novels - "The Star", "The Nine Billion Names of God", Childhood's End, The City and the Stars, 2001: A...

    Peter Jackson to produce "The Hobbit"!

    Fans of the Lord of the Rings films will be happy to hear that Peter Jackson's production company and New Line have finally worked out their outstanding legal/financial issues, and that Jackson (and wife/partner Fran Walsh) will executive-produce two films based on The Hobbit. New Line already...

    All the King's Men

    I wasn't impressed... The first version with Broderick Crawford from 1950 is a far, far better film.

    Ingmar Bergman R.I.P.

    I know that Bergman isn't generally held in the same stratospheric esteem now that he was back in the 1960s when I first became a film buff, but I still love many of his films, and I couldn't let his death pass without mention. He was an astonishingly brilliant filmmaker. As a...

    Disney's Song of the South on DVD

    I recall seeing it back during its 70s rerelease, and also thought that it was a pretty mediocre film, but with good live action/animation combination effects. Don't get me started on the whole politically currect bushwa. ALL old media should be available in their original forms - with...

    Heads-up on US Wings clearance

    I noticed this week that US Wings has put up a well-populated clearance page: http://www.uswings.com/clearance.asp Now, I'm not claiming that these jackets are in the same league as the premium repros! (In fact, I've never even handled one of their self-labeled leather jackets, but I...

    Happy Straw Hat Day!

    Back in the days before the summer season was delimited by Memorial Day and Labor Day Mondays, May 15th was the traditional "Straw Hat Day", when you put away your felt fedora for the season and got out (or bought new) a boater or Panama. Correspondingly, on September 15th, you were supposed...
