I'm not keen on the color - it gives it a bit of a pleather appearance, at least online.

The pics do make it look like fake leather, but its definitely not. Might look fake to some people in person too though, idk.

I actually really like the gray color. That's what caught my eye in the first place. I have a black (non-moto) leather jacket so wouldn't bother getting another black one. And I hate brown leather

Nice beard!

Codesis,

It's a good thing someone pointed out that is a biker jacket so you can pass on it for your delicate sensibilities, because it appears to be the modern-day Members Only version of a leather jacket.

Ritchie Aprile wouldn't even wear that.

27,
Fortunately I have people like you to steer me in the right direction.


Steve,
lol at that "beard" but that's not me. I learned from lapka's mistake!

That's so gray.

Is that seal leather?

cs3, doesn't the fact that the seller of the jacket included that beard in their product ad? Is that the look you wish to project?

To each their own.

Good point, but I first saw the jacket in person. Sadly there was not a live model sporting a semibeard to make me realize the error of my ways.
I looked up that pic online for the thread obv

Closing in on 40 and have never had a lucid dream. I can't even imagine how cool it'd be if I could actually direct my dreams.

I used to have them occassionally. I could increase the likelyhood (I think) by thinking about it while I was going to sleep. Not that big a deal though and I stopped trying and having them.

I think Jordan Knight wore it in one of his late 90s jams.

You're spending more time debating buying a jacket than I've spent buying all the clothes I've ever worn.

I also poopoo that jacket.

This. Although I did take an hour or so to decide on a blazer once, which my sister’s boyfriend then stole.

Irish comedian Dave Allen relates a strange experience. Note the part-missing index finger of his left hand, which people were always asking about, and he told various stories about, and even his family never knew what the true story was.

Perhaps we need N1H's opinion of the jacket.

That’s got to be from Back To School. Thornton Mellon’s Tall and Fat!

That is Caddyshack, sir. How dare you.

Take my references, please.

I dont believe Ive ever seen a Rodney Dangerfield movie from start to finish.


Nothing at all against him, I just have a natural prejudice of pre 1990 film/tv. Racking my brain now trying to think of my favorite 1990 movie is, but I cant think of a one that is a personal favorite.

I like the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street series', but I don't think of them as actually good.


Edit: Princess Bride, Monty Pythons I guess I still enjoy today. I imagine though that if they were made new today exactly as they were then they would not be received well.

Do you mean pre-1990 (Ferris Bueller, among many) or exactly 1990 (Goodfellas)?

Yeah, pre. Im not trying to make a case that they're not good movies, I just dont enjoy very many of them. I saw Ferris Bueller for the first time in the last 5 years. Its fine, not likely to ever watch again.

Movies were better before Top Gun ruined them. Or was it Die Hard that ruined movies?

I had this fantastic professor back in film school, old British guy. He would simply devour movies, watching anything and everything he could get his hands on. After one class, several of us were chatting about recent flicks. The professor was commenting on the newest Resident Evil film he had watched in theatres that weekend, when a student asked why he would waste his time on a trash zombie movie like that. Striking a pensive pose and pausing for a moment, the professor finally replied:

"Whether good or bad, there's always something positive to take away from a film. You will always learn something."

He didn't say it with an air of authority, but with pure consideration and general love for the medium. Blew my mind then, and has forever changed how I watch media to this day.

That professor was often abroad on research projects, but I always made sure to take whatever he was offering when he was back in the states. The two standout semesters were his Hitchcock class and another focusing on Vietnam films (specifically by Indo-Chinese filmmakers).
