Try telling the younger generation that this was what we all thought was cool in the 60s/70s.......when these films were all on the TV for the first time....
Anyone remember the 'double bills' of horror films in the 70's that would start with a colour Hammer, and then continue towards midnight with the Universal black & white stuff......what a joy to be in that era watching this stuff!
We had all seen stills from films in horror books, and then, we all got to watch them come to life in these 1970s showings........amazing!
It's really funny Paul, I was only thinking a few days ago, exactly what you've posted re the Hammer horror films...watching them late 1960's and through the 70's, on a Friday or Saturday night, when my mum and dad would let me stay up late that one night as a treat, then straight to bed when the film/films ended...Really great times and, as you say, a joy to be part of.
I'm a massive Clint Eastwood fan, most probably my favourite actor and love his films, including the spaghetti westerns...A true movie star great and Hollywood legend/icon.
I haven't seen this particular shot of him and Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef, between takes/filming...Great shot and thanks for posting it Coach Matt..👍😎😊
Look at Tony Soprano, played by the late, great Mr. James Gandolfini, and you see a low-key man...the belly, the camp-collar shirts, the slacks, the Gucci loafers and, to project power and status the solid-gold Rolex Day-Date President on his wrist.
I was impressed with Steve as an actor in The Sopranos. I was also impressed with Steve's assessment of Syd Barrett, right after Syd left us in 2006. He was obviously someone who "got it" rather than just breezed by it.
Floyd's first record, "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" in 1967, was all Syd.
It was both sophisticated and surprisingly visionary for a band playing
American R&B just like everyone else only a year or two earlier,
establishing an artistic and adventurous template for the entire British
psychedelic era. It is not surprising to hear it was recorded next door,
virtually simultaneously with, to the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts
Club Band."
That's a real-deal Syd guy who wrote that.
The recent extra-short short-back-and-sides Bruce has got brings to mind images I've seen of Albert Camus.
That bottom one also reminds me of Joe Strummer. People say Joe Strummer is to pub rock what Bruce Springsteen is to bar rock and that Strummer was "the English Springsteen."
When I look at that photo' of Camus, I think Bruce and Joe have got a common ancestor who was a French Algerian, and whatever perspective of philosophy Camus considered himself to be aligned with, he was the king of it.

Talking about Springsteen and cool, I absolutely love his 'Western Stars' album.
It's pretty much a masterpiece...even the cover is superb.
