I don't think I'll be able to watch John Slattery in MAD MEN without a goofy grin on my face after seeing him in THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU. He looks like he stepped right from the set on the TV show to the movie.

I dont get the 'I'm odd, dark, and dangerous' feeling from anyone.

I think the reason anyone is ostracized is more about the person than any article of clothing.

I, too, am an outlier. I don't have many friends. The main reason for this is completely personality related, as far as I'm concerned.

As a kid, I wasn't searched for when things were happening. I had to do the searching. I had one good friend at a time, but never one who looked out for me the way I thought a good friend was supposed to.

At the same time, I did like unusual things, and wore hats from early on, when no one on my block did so. I remember when fishing hats (think MacClean Stevenson in MASH) became popular, at least in my neck of the woods. A couple of the popular kids got them, and then we all wanted them. I had a 6 panel denim newsboy cap. No one wanted it, but I thought I looked a hell of a lot classier than someone in a fishing hat.

I didn't fit into many groups. Perhaps I always strove to be in with groups that were not as thoughtful, for lack of a better term, than I was, and am.

I've always been comfortable with who I am. I guess its just that a lot of other people werent, or just didnt care enough to find out.

Something tells me Ive only begun to scratch the surface on this one.

I get compliments when people ask me, I really care about my hat. So, I think we wear the right hat folks will have more impact on folks, want to go out and get the appropriate Fedora than the movie will be, but the movie people want to imitate their favorite things in the movie.

Yeah...

So are folks and movie people the same people? Then, if so, will be hat impact ask me people? I think not.

You point a finger back far enough, and some germ gets blamed for splitting in two.

I just got the reading of the short story from Audible. VERY typical Phillip K Dick! Lots of fun, and it messes with your head nicely. I think VALIS was better, but its a judgement call.

Anyone else have problems with Audible's software?
