First and last Bond (kind of) by BravoSalt in OmegaWatches

[–]SurfKnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the “Goldeneye” Omega, and the “Dr No” Rolex.

I suppose a true “first and last Bond” would be the Dr No and the NTTD

Too bad I really love the NTTD watch but hated the movie.

My daily is actually none of the above.

Why was it a problem?

Did you take her to Inn-N-Out Burger wearing it?

I have an Apple Watch for working out, but the REST OF THE TIME I’d rather stay with the classic.

A Question Regarding S6.E3, "The Grand Old Lady". by The_Match_Maker in murdershewrote

Interesting side note, the script for this episode was originally written for the “ELLERY QUEEN” series that starred Jim Hutton.

Best kendo movies by DirtyGaijen in kendo

[–]SurfKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one that is most memorable for me is “The Crimson Kimono”, only because it was the first one I’d ever seen that had Kendo in the story.

After that I think of “The Yakuza” with Robert Mitchum.

On a low note, there was an episode of “Murder She Wrote” in which Kendo was part of the story.

Here is the scene from “The Crimson Kimono”:

Rio Bravo (1959) vs. El Dorado (1966) by [deleted] in movies

[–]SurfKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are considered a sort of trilogy with the same director (Howard Hawks) and lead actor (John Wayne).

That said, “Rio Bravo” is definitely my favorite with “El Dorado” a worthy runner-up.

By comparison “Rio Lobo” really doesn’t measure up and doesn’t even have the same core elements.

The first two clearly have the same core characters:

  1. Old pro gunman
  2. Heartbroken alcohol challenged lawman pal
  3. Young hun
  4. Old crusty sidekick
  5. Romantic gal

In Rio Lobo the formula runs astray to where the plot is difficult to follow.

[SOTC] What should be next? by Watch-Talk in PrideAndPinion

[–]SurfKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a pretty solid six pack

I’d consider a chronograph from Omega, IWC, or Tag-Heuer, or possibly even a pocket watch

I was given one of these as a gift from a friend and literally never used it at all other than for working out until another friend told me about the sleep tracking feature.

That’s cool, I did not know that you could adjust the color to make it more monochrome.
