In the Mockingjay Part One Philip Seymour Hoffman uses a Lamy Studio in either Palladium or Stainless Steel for like five minutes. You can see a blue ink stain on the nib. God rest his soul.

 

I think he used it upside down I heard a very distinct scratch noise when he was writing out of frame.

I saw that and thought, "lamy!"

 

...I bet his notepad was a Rhodia Ice A5 and the Lamy had Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku...

The Lamy-Worldwide page on Facebook had a post about it a few days ago. It had a photo of the actor very clearly holding the capped pen, and it referred to pen as "the Lamy Sudio brushed". I have yet to see any Studio in the flesh, so I don't know which of the two it is considered "brushed".

Fountain Pens: Still cheaper than playing Warhammer 40K

Lamy is nice but those movies really suck.

I wouldn't know; dystopias are not my catnip. I am kind of interested in why the props crew chose the Studio, but I doubt we will ever know.

9 out of 10 people I've ever met haven't moved beyond that.

 

not every movie can be The Seventh Seal or Alien, and honestly if the average film when I was the target age of The Hunger Games was as good as even the newest one they would have been a LOT better.

 

Im looking at you Vanilla Ice :angry:

Come on now. What about the 1960 Little Shop of Horrors or The Blob or The Magnificent Seven or Bullitt?

The Magnificent Seven was a great movie and Battle Beyond the Stars was even better.

 

Yeah but BBS was about twenty years later.

I watched only until she shot an innocent tomato. How can any one equate the Blob to The Creature of the Dark Lagoon? A much better (poor lonely) Alien movie....had good taste in available women too.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Oh, you just made my day: If you are referring to males you should use blond_ and brunett_ (especially as adjectives). Blond(e) and brunett(e) are gender specific adjectives (and nouns). The one with the e refers to females. These words have their roots in french, in which such gender distinctions are normal.

 

However this seems to matter most in British English (over American English).

Still, the more you know.

Nope, these dudes deserve the "e". Read between the lines. Besides, I speak Californian.

Wow, this thread has really gone off the rails.

 

But it is highly entertaining :D

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
