Re: Calvary Hats from the movie Hostiles

Bale’s character, I am assuming that the dark hat was their way of separating him from the rest. Based on my knowledge hat color was troop specific not officer vs enlisted

Calvary Hats from the movie Hostiles

I mentioned in my review of the movie Hostiles that I thought the hats were done well. Some might say they are a little too IJ, but when compared to actual campaign covers of the era, the similarities to a fedora are more than that of a cowboy hat.

Re: Hostiles

Cousi, I couldn’t agree more. Being that my grandmother who, I never met, grew up on a reservation, I have a belief and an obligation to tell the whole story, not just one side. Unfortunately, for me that is a side of my family I know the least about and have the least connection. I wish it were dif...

Columbo on Hallmark

So, the Hallmark Channel runs episodes of Columbo. There are a few things interesting to me with this show. First, it takes 1 1/2 Hours for a show that was one hour at the time it was new. Now about the show. When I was a kid I can’t say that I liked it. I was a kid and it didn’t have enough action....

Re: The Demise of Facebook means the return Of The Electric Speakeasy

Although it can happen in a forum discussion, I find a good a good amount of FB posts are not well thought out. Most people who write forum comments at least think out what they say and read over what they say before they submit. Meaningful debate is more likely in the forum setting I guess is my po...

Re: Steampunk dilemma.

Dieselpunk will continue to be a theme. It is used in games and movies even when it is not realized. When I think of movies like The Rocketeer and Sky Captain, I believe the reason they were not successful was simple timing. I think Steampunk will go in and out of popularity, but certainly not go aw...
