Yeh if you get a chance, great, but dont use it as an excuse not to see it for another ten years.
Perfectly ok to see dvd restoration or bluray on a 40inch or 50inch t.v with your feet up!


40"? Believe me, a real movie watching guy needs more than 40 inches.

A 60 inch screen or larger is better but the point i was making is not a small puny 30 something screen.
I saw it recently on a 40 inch screen and it was more than good enough to appreciate the colours and the cinematography, especially if its for the first time.

Stillsuits.

"Dune" and stillsuits.

How have stillsuits not caught on?

I'm sure we'll know just as soon as the FSM cognoscenti decide if DUNE is "iconic" or not.

Well apparently the music is iconic. Who knew?

Anyone remember Leisure Suits?

For about forty bucks you could get your polyester pants and jacket. Then add a thick gold necklace and a flowered shirt, and you were "groovy."

Just wondering, Joan...did your husband wear a powder-blue, wide-lapelled tux at your wedding? If you got married in the glorious 1970s, chances are you and/or your spouse wore something simply atrocious. big grin i'm not judging, mind you, but the typical Boomer newlywed had to negotiate a veritable fashion mind field in that decade. I myself have no problem with 1970s fashions--the 1980s were just as bad--but man oh man did you Boomers have atrocious fashion sense! Shame on you all!

No, he wore tux. (Nice white coat and black pants.) His hair was a lot longer then. I loved men's hair that was about the length of the Beatles. (Hated crew cuts.)

The only problem with our wedding was that the day before our wedding, he did a cannonball off of a diving board and rammed his knee into his nose. He had FOUR factures in his nose, so our wedding pictures are delightful. It looks like I married the masked (white mask and bandages) Lone Ranger. Of course, one doesn't realize how much a nose get touched when kissing, so our honeymoon was fun too. smile

Quit picking on Boomers. We are delightful people.

Hey, I love you Boomers! Seriously! smile My parents (R.I.P.) were Boomers, but other than the divorce thing, they were as UN-Boomer like as a Boomer could get! It's just that you guys had a pretty horrible and overly-casual fashion sense! Just look at Diane Keaton, for crying out loud!

Every successful marriage has a disastrous wedding anecdote, and yours is pretty amusing, Mrs/Ms. Hue! wink

Speaking of the U.S. West Coast, I had a brief, but memorable visit to Seattle in 1994; a moose was loose!

Best line in fsm this month. Since mr Eastman posted on day 2 of aidabaida's frenzied two weeks of trolling: "youre on ignore" wink

Love that moose line jim. there is something inexplicably funny about moose.

I'm a late Baby Boomer, but I have problems with my generation, mostly political, but mostly in the area of self-centeredness and mindless consumerism of a society of spoiled brats.

The Great Gatsby (2013)



The schlumpy Millennial generation's artificially-boosted sense of self esteem would have been boosted even more had they dressed like the tragic Jay Gatsby, Old Sport.

As for the 1920s styles, those would require a modicum of slimness; and, given the rampant obesity of most FSMers, I also wouldn't expect the typically overweight film score nerd to redirect their already-allocated funds from obsolete CDs to fine threads (and threads) such as these.


Strangely, women's fashion of that era generally sucked!

Those long "duster" coats that they wore in Once Upon A Time In The West, I looked high & low for something like that after I'd seen it at the cinema, but nothing doing.

I seem to recall a few sheepskin waistcoats and ponchos late 60s to mid 70s in london.
We even had a Western store in manor park east London that sold everything western and indian including air rifle winchesters!!


I still have a couple of ponchos, one of them my brother-in-law bought back from Peru, I think it's real Yak hair (or something like that), I don't wear 'em outside, indoors with the curtains drawn.


Ha! After I saw FAFDM I bought an expensive poncho from Ecuador. Cotton

After FAFDM, I bought a pocket watch, some marajuana and a miniture carved-wooden drinks cabinet! wink

Wrong again, Old Sport. It's just that many of today's fast food-fed heifers can't "rock" 1920s and '30s styles.

Oh, and on an ot point: Bonanza was 1959.

I won't watch "Lawrence of Arabia" (or "Dune") until Ensign Pulliam does one of his "If you ever get a chance" threads.

Four years later and there doesn't seem to be much left, other than some grey slacks and a $495.00 cufflink set. big grin
