phil wants to know fourth movie aside
what exactly is the reason you would refuse to acknowledge two and three as movies in the series
the following opinion is mine alone and might not be shared by anybody else but for me for an action
movie for any movie but specifically let's say within this conversation an action movie for an
action movie to involve me i need three things three things i need to identify with the hero
and i identify with india a lot it just resonates to me i've got to be afraid of the villain
and tote is one of the scariest villains in movies i find him absolutely terrifying
uh yeah he's really scary and you gotta fall in love with the girl or the guy you know whichever
whatever floats your boat but marion karen allen's portrayal of marion is like
one of the most perfect heroines in movies to me uh yeah truly um and kate capshaw is
a amazing and wonderful actress but i don't love her character in that film and the relationship
between indie and her character in the second raiders film is more slap sticky to me and it
doesn't involve me it doesn't feel like there's an emotional resonance to that relationship
and so and i found the villain in in the second raiders film to be inscrutable like it wasn't
somebody to be afraid of it was just more like this thing way over there that was dangerous
and the third raiders film i'm not scared of that millionaire at all
like there's nothing scary about the villain in that movie and again the german lady
that also slept with indy's father okay now that's just weird and i don't even want to
think about the fact that dad and son slept with the same woman like it's just like come on
so for me that's why raiders is not only my favorite of all the indie films but i
think my number one favorite action film of all time it i watch it probably once a year
just to kind of get back into that big warm bath of perfection and enjoy it edwin bear
says or asks you're well known for having made your own whips and you have many indiana jones
hats have you ever thought of making your own indiana jones hat or indie jacket no i have not
um i like i said earlier this year i did something i never thought that i would do which is
i have three uh adventure built hats i have two brown brown fedoras and one gray fedora uh and
because i never took really good care of them they were all really filthy here right where my
like i wore this specific hat doesn't have this liner because i pulled the liner out to clean it
um but i wore this specific hat on on mythbusters for years and so every time i grab this crown
which by the way is a bad thing to do to your have to keep grabbing it by the crown you should
be grabbing it by the brim because each time you grab the crown you sharpen it you sharpen it you
sharpen it and each time you're sharpening the crown and then getting your finger oils in there
in order to get those finger oils out you got to clean it when you clean it you're pulling
away little bits of felt and this right here is where your felt can wear through now you can do
some things you could put some cloth on the back potentially to buttress it um or you could just
you know properly take it on and off with with the brim instead of the crown but i'm getting ahead of
myself earlier this year i looked at these three hats and they were so dirty i was and i i own so
many hats and have literally gone to hatters where they have steamed hats to size and shape
for me while i stood there i felt like i kind of understood enough about millinery to properly
unblock and reshape this hat while cleaning it at the same time and this i did reader i did um i
turns out uh can i grab is it over there wait a second yes it is wait right there
okay so um a hat is this is beaver felt this is beaver felt which means that what this is is um
hundreds of thousands of tiny little lengths of beaver fur which is super fine uh in a
glued matrix to create a semi unweaved fabric type material yeah i don't mean to get overly technical
but the way in which you shape a hat is you use steam and steam
heats up the felt and it loosens the glue bonds between the pieces of felt and allows you to take
the shape out so if i push this like this you can see that i've got these
like little lighter corners that's like what do you call it brim a crown burn uh
you can see these lighter corners right so with steam you can get those out and i did and it turns
out you don't need a professional hat steamer you could just use this my clothing steamer which i
picked up on craigslist for 50 bucks like 20 years ago and has been just one of the most reliable
tools in this shop so i set up my steamer here on the vise and i steam these hats all three of them
until they were perfect bowls and then i went in and i basically put the shape where i wanted it
excuse me i put the shape where i wanted it to be and i resuscitated them and that felt really good
you see how this one is off that's just that's my hat that's the one that's what mine mine does
um and that felt really good that felt i i really spent probably two years
working up the nerve to do this operation on these amazing hats because they were expensive having
them re-blocked when i had the marine lock was also expensive i care about these objects a lot
i didn't want to screw it up so i really just had to sort of roll it over in my head and think about
it and kind of get up the courage to do it and i did it earlier this year this is the longest way
of me explaining um no i don't think i'm going to try teaching myself millinery anytime soon
however that is about as being able to clean and re-block my own hats that feels like an
achievement and that feels like that's the step i'll take into millinery um or jacket
you said um no i am not interested in trying to make a perfect indie jacket for this reason
where the arm meets the body the more i sew the more mystified i am by this attachment
in clothing um when you like clothes as much as i do i know i don't strike you maybe as a
clothing person because you almost always see me in a black t-shirt and blue jeans but i really
do like cleaning up i like dressing up for a for an event or a party and yeah you can find
pictures of me in my paul smith tux on the on the red carpet at the emmys or some other places
and i've got some beautiful suits and some beautiful shirts some great ties uh and i i i have
like i have tasted opinions about different designers whether it's paul smith or prada
and one of the key differences in a lot of these designers is specifically the alchemy
of how the shoulder falls of how the cut works with your body and how it
how it actually moves and i'm here to tell you that um you should revere a tailor
specifically for the dark art of how a sleeve attaches to the body of a garment it is
mind-blowing to me that it works and that it works consistently across multiple sizes
and that prada can have a an opinion about a cut exemplified by the way in which they
adjust these tiny tiny little differences and make a beautiful garment that's like i know
enough about it to know that it feels way beyond me but i thought that about bleeding my own brakes
on my car so never say never i eventually did that it wasn't nearly as hard as i thought it would be
