Guilty as charged here.

I was looking forward to it, but I heard a bad review of it this morning.

BarbaraGordon 11-13-2008 05:07 PM

I'll take Bourne over Bond anyday.

Brother? So do you stand in line for your brother to obtain an autograph?

"My brother Farrah..."

Runner Coug 11-13-2008 06:45 PM

I'm looking forward to it. I like this new era of Bond movies without all the corniness. Hopefully there is a lot of killing.

Dude, even I like Daniel Craig. there are 3 guys that have an insane suit wardrobe.......one, believe it or not is Ryan Seacrest, one is Andrien Brody and the other is Daniel Craig.

Tom Ford did some of the clothes in Casino Royale but he is going to be doing a ton of stuff on QOS. I think he does the suit from the main promo poster, but I also heard that it could be a Zegna...who coincidentally outfits Brody with practically everything.

I don't care about the cars or the gadgets. I want Bond's wardrobe. We were watching Casino Royale and my wife thought it was kind of fishy....i kept commenting on his clothes.

All gay jokes aside, don't you guys think his clothes were awesome in Casino Royale?

To answer Mrs Funky's question, yes I am way excited for QOS.

You can tell that with CR and QOS, the Brocolis have moved in the Bourne direction and away from the wise-cracking gadget incarnation. People want to see a dude that can destroy someone else with his fists, not with a crappy exploding watch. btw, if you watch Ocotpussy, Bond's fancy gadget watch was a Seiko. A Seiko! LOL.

TripletDaddy 11-13-2008 06:59 PM

Radness.

I don't remember the suits. I remember a blue speedo...

It actually wasnt a speedo brand. La Perla. I think his version cost like $150. ouch. pretty pricey for some boardshorts.

they sponsor some surf competitions, esp international ones, so there are some heterosexual reasons for knowing, but I get your drift.

What? Are you sure? I think that is a Brioni design.

Tom Ford is doing all the QOS stuff, but if you recall, he was already wearing that suit at the end of CR...right at the very end when he introduces himself, so i think it could be a Brioni, just for consistency.

and you call yourself a pop culture trivia wiz... You probably don't even know what movie that is from. You probably drive by the nagatomi plaza every day don't even know it.

Cheryl Preston (BYU Law Prof--this one's for you 3D) and her husband returned Monday from a trip to Cairo where she spoke to a conference on regulating porn on the internet. While she was thus engaged, and while taking a break, presumably, from watching porn on the internet, her husband Stan saw QOS which was released earlier to international audiences. He liked it, but said it wasn't as good as Casino Royale. A movie can be worse than CR, but still be very good, so I'm definitely in.

And speaking of suits... For me, Johnny Carson during the '70s and early '80s achieved the summum bonum in dressy apparel. He usually displayed good taste, and his suits and sport coats fit superbly. But maybe it was simply the contrast with Doc Severinson (whose tailor was obviously on a two decades-long acid trip) and Tommy Newsom (who had the appearance of an unmade bed).

How the heck can anyone tell? It looks just like a suit. A coat that goes over a shirt with a tie. I have a few in my closet. They also go over my shirt with a tie. I can't possibly imagine caring about anything less than brands of suits.

First of all, thank you for updating me on Cheryl's whereabouts. She must have found the GPS chip I placed in her purse and I haven't seen anybody in her house for a week or two (admittedly, my binoculars are low intensity).

Second, speaking of 70s suits, what are the odds of a resurgence in elbow patches? That is one fashion trend that I simply never understood, not even in the context of "that was cool at the time." I would be really interested in seeing those babies come back, even for a season.

Surfah 11-13-2008 09:09 PM

I've always appreciated Craig Sager's wardrobe.

I just gave you negative feedback for your post.

But to answer your question, I dont really "care" about the brand, as much as I simply enjoy the clothes.

His suits are tailored, so they fit him extremely well and they look sharp. Since I wear suits to Church, sometimes work, etc....it interests me. As with any hobby, the more you pursue it, the more refined your eye becomes.

I think that half this board would be up in arms if i said, "a bike is a bike!" Or if I told SeattleUte, "a bran supplement is a bran supplement!"

We can only hope. I have, in truth, safeguarded a sport coat with said patches despite Mrs. PAC's occasional threats to give it to Goodwill or D.I. If nothing else, I'm saving some Central American gentlemen from becoming a laughingstock at his first job interview.

And I wish I had a baby blue leisure suit, flowered shirt with a collar so wide it resembles the wingspan of a 747, platform shoes and, of course, white belt and shoes. This was an outfit worn by tourists in SF back in the '70s and is known as The Full Cleveland.

Well that does it. Up until now, I only had one negative feedback comment (from Waters- he gave me negative feedback for saying that Robin was his jilted lover- I thought it was old news!). Now I have 2, and if UteStar sees this thread, I am sure to get a third strike from the board metrosexual. Not even YOhio can save me now.

How do you tell who gave you the feedback? Is this the same thing as "reputation"?

I probabyl shouldn't admit that I once went to a school dance (with the loveyl Miss Catherine Shorten who hailed from Sandwich, England and used to like me most, as far as I can tell, as an object of scorn for my utahn accent) in a black polyester leisure suit with white stitching, a baby blue QIana polyester shirt with the oh-so-wide collar spread PAC described, and Blue and Black platform shoes that were at least three inches thick. And yes, I actually did think I looked very, very hot(t).

Truth be told, I have given negative feedback to everyone. Negative feedback is cool.

unfortunately I am at a point wherein I can no longer give negative feedback. I keep getting the same pop-up that says i must spread some of the reputation around before I can give more. I don't know what that means because i have already given most people here negative feedback.
