I love watching movies from the twenties and (early) thirties. Love the clothes, the cars, the attitude. Guys who put on a suit and tie to go rob a bank. :)
A couple of years ago I toured the Queen Mary cruise ship in Long Beach. A couple was at the front desk registering to stay there. They were young adults in their 20s, dressed in period attire. It was picture perfect. Sorry I don’t know where that picture is...
Even their “posture” and facial expressions are recognized from that era...Lots of practice, I assume...
Very entertaining and gives a good feeling....
Do they have anything else in common?
What do they look like when they mow the yard, change the oil, wash dishes, vacuum the floor?
They look a lot older than their 20’s. And I’m not talking about the clothes.
Very sharp!!
Maybe they both enjoy The Great Gatsby novel and movies.
Corpus. In context of definitions 3/4/5, the meaning becomes clearer.
Also, because "Thanatos' Viscera" is STILL not a viable screen name anywhere on the internet.
Well, I doubt you’d have to compete with anyone for it.
No... Certainly not...
However, some places still don’t allow Capitalization much less spaces or special characters. ASCII has only been around since... forever... in Internet Time... Why bother integrating something so basic?
“A picture is worth a 1000 words” or so they say. Maybe if we eventually integrate our language with computer augmentation a “data structure representation” of the “picture” of me standing there with a machete in one hand and the Grim Reapers severed head in the other will stand in for my chosen sobriquet nicely...
That would be blatant and obvious.
(The stuff on your FR page is more...elegant, though.)
Jeeves was Bertie’s manservant, not his uncle.
One of the things I love about Boardwalk Empire and Perry Mason (the new HBO reboot) is the set and costume design. What a great period for fashion, architecture, cars, etc...
Makes me think of that movie, The Village.
I’m a fan of Shyamalan films.
But these historical ‘re-enactors’ are doing this out of a sense of what we might call ‘performance art’, and a connection to an aesthetic that they appreciate.
They aren’t running away from The Modern World - they’re bringing remembrance and thoughtfulness into it.
Have read Fitzgerald’s novel more that twic, and seen the movie (there are two versions) about four times. Never boring. One relearns the chasm between the average Joe and the person born and bred upperclass. Neither Gatsby nor the story’s narrator could ever transition across that gap.
