...who had to dress up like women to afford an apartment in Manhattan?
That actually got a laugh out loud.
Take these suggestions.
"Night's Master" by Tanith Lee. Back in the time when the Earth was still flat, a demon prince used to ride the skies nightly, looking for humans to seduce and/or torment.
"Dark Voyage" by Alan Furst. In 1941 a Dutch sea captain is seconded to the British Navy. His freighter and its motley crew are going to transport spies into enemy ports, disguised as a neutral ship.
Enjoy your afternoon.
Back in 1960, the US minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the average US home was $11,000.00
In 'Hell's Angels' Hunter Thompson had a chapter about the economics of being a biker/hippie/artist circa 1970. Six months of a full time Union job as a stevedore paid enough for a biker to hit the road for two years. A part time waitress could afford to support herself and her musician boyfriend.
Of course people were happy here.
I literally had that conversation.
Netflix did a fantastic reboot of "Lost In Space." They started in 2018 and lost a lot of time to Covid. They leaned into it and set the last season ten years after the end of the second.
To get the full experience, watch the 1960's pilot first, because the creators managed to take everything that was silly in the original and make it smart. Also, Parker Posey is a fantastic psycho baddie.
Thanks. I really like these and hadn't seen this one.
And yet, someone decided to down vote my comment.
I actually wish they'd left a reason, it might have been an interesting discussion.
"The Stunt Man"
"A friend of mine once made what I consider the best anti-war movie ever made. After it opened, military recruitment in his home town jumped by fifty percent."
True story.
I was with a bunch of people watching "Raising Cain" with John Lithgow.
Towards the end of the movie, a certain prop appears and I start cracking up. People start looking at me, because there's no obvious joke.
Sure enough, that prop plays a big part in the final scene.
