Utterly "good", almost angelic, but warm and funny with it. <br /><br />I remember hippies just fine, in fact it was the more formally dressed people that make me do a double-take. Perhaps London was more "trendy" in 1969, admittedly I did most of my shopping in Carnaby Street anyway, but I don't recall men wearing hats, not many anyway, that had gone, and women were completely finished with beehives. This is how I recall young people in 1969:<br /><br />http://services.eadt.co.uk/suffolk/content/unseenarchive/images/1969%20Rag%20fashion%20week.jpgMelanie Boxallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123851168700589156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196829553153577775.post-20274836094393214062013-01-07T05:13:57.167-08:002013-01-07T05:13:57.167-08:00I agree - I have seen it too.
Fashion wise, I wo...I agree - I have seen it too. <br /><br />Fashion wise, I would direct your attention to the recent TV series, "Mad Men" and another movie done not that long ago, "Down With Love." There seems to be a stylized look to the 1960s era that Hollywood likes to use. Most of my friends in the 1960s (granted we were kids) wore blue jeans or corduroy pants, with either t-shirts or striped polo shirts and Converse sneakers. They were the practical uniform of the time for many school-age-through-teen youngsters, until you reached college-age where you might run into the "hippie-style" flowing shirts and ponchos. In fact, my Babcie (grandmother) made me a poncho to wear, which was considered a rather abnormal accessory for a young person at the time. That, and a crochet hat with recycled beer can panels in it, as I remember.... <br /><br />Anyway, getting back to the movie, I agree with you, that we might see this new character in there. Tony Shaloub's character was noticeably absent from this new movie, so I figure they put this fellow in, which kind of works--especially if they're going to continue using such things as time travel. His character, Griffin, reminded me (strangely enough) of what I've heard people on the autism spectrum describe some of their experience, which I found rather interesting as well.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to the next one. ;) ~ Blessings! :)Kathy Custrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687890338800680972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196829553153577775.post-28226750473874547432013-01-07T05:13:26.430-08:002013-01-07T05:13:26.430-08:00Incidentally, it was said by some that Johh Hartne...Incidentally, it was said by some that Johh Hartnett would have been a better choice, as he looks almost identcal to a young Tommy Lee Jones, but I don't think he has the gravitas for the role. Maybe that's why they chose an older actor, as J is always ribbing K about being born old.

Obviously I can do it up a point, or I'd never be able to enjoy any movie, or any story or joke. But I seem to have some sort of limit, or an opposing influence. One obvious plothole and the bubble bursts. But bad acting is even worse.

He made the entire movie.<br /><br />Personally I was able to suspend my imagination and not think about the implications of time travel, not one bit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18119718461267453386noreply@blogger.com
