Kalessin Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 In Frankenhooker, Zorro the pimp drowns his sorrows at the bar after all of his girls are killed using supercrack and you can see a bottle of Wild Turkey and a bunch of empty Heinekens in front of him. I'm going to guess that movie night at your house is an interesting time, indeed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gothbat Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Yeah, it's a good time and I'd imagine that most people would get to see a world of cinema that they don't normally see or may not even know about. Things just keep getting better and better too thanks to BD; I've seen some really surprising rarities show up on the format already and many of them are absolutely stellar presentations. Anyway, regarding Frankenhooker, for those who haven't seen it, take Bill Murray's advice (as quoted on the back cover of the new BD from Synapse), "If you see one movie this year, it should be Frankenhooker!". :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPBoston Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Not bourbon... but in Last Man Standing (Bruce Willis movie), it's prohibition era Texas, and in the opening scene, Bruce is driving while pulling back on a 350ml size J&B. I was thinking to myself... It's Texas, wild-west type setting, shouldn't he be drinking bourbon?!? Later on, he spent a lot of time in the town bar, and it seemed he drank bourbon, though I couldn't recognize the label. Anyone remember if it was a 'real' whiskey? Also, started watching True Blood thanks to HBOGO. Even though many scenes take place at a bar, they usually take care to hide the labels when somebody grabs a whiskey. One of the episodes though, Tara drinks straight from a bottle of WT101, only 'half' hidden. Maybe WT got a half-off deal for the advert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalessin Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 In the Marvel Comics "The Avengers", which I just saw (and really enjoyed), there's a scene in the home-bar area of Stark's apartment at the top of his Stark Tower. Stark is pouring himself a whiskey while having a little chat with Loki, and the only bottle really visible among the decanters and barware looks a whole lot like the back of a bottle of Lot B. It's a clear wine bottle facing away from the camera, filled with amber liquid, red up top, small-size square white label down near the base.If I have it right, not only does he have good taste, but even billionaire playboys must have trouble getting bottles of the 15, 20, and 23! :slappin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillP Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 On the last episode of Mad Men, there is a bottle of Wild Turkey on the bar cabinet at Megan and Don's apartment. Anyone else catch that? What did the WT bottles look like in the 60s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did the WT bottles look like in the 60s?A great resource for old bottle and label designs is looking up the ads on the net and on fleaBay. Just a simple search like "wild turkey ad" should do the trick.In the 1960's, the bottles looked like a "standard" whiskey bottle, with a tall white label, "Austin Nichols" at the top, "Wild Turkey" text on two lines and a bird picture in the middle, and a red stripe at the bottom of the label with the 8 year age statement, with the 8 in the middle.

KYPayne Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Not a movie, but the Bond novel "Live and Let Die" Bond drinks OGD. Actually, in the books Bond drinks champagne a lot more often than he drinks anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegoz Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 On last night's episode of Longmire on A&E, Henry Standing Bear (played by Lou Diamond Phillips) mourned the murder of a fellow Cheyenne over a pour of Blanton's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey Manthey Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Couldn't sleep last night and sipped an ounce of FR1B while reading Haruki Murakami's newest novel 1Q84.In the book, one of the main characters, Tengo, goes to a local watering hole and asks for bourbon on the rocks. The waiter says, "All we have is Four Roses, is that OK?" This is set in Tokyo in 1984. Murakami is known for mentioning whiskey brand names in his books, but this is the first time I've seen him mention bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPBoston Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) This was a cool one I hadn't seen posted here.... In Young Adult, there's a character (played by Patton Oswald) who has his own distillery in his garage. The first few shots of his garage show him using a torch to char oak barrels then go on to show everything else. Charlize Theron's character says something like "Wow, you make your own moonshine" and Oswald is insulted saying something like "This is oak barrel aged bourbon!". He has a conversation with her about it, telling her how it's aged, different flavors, etc. Gives her an 8 yr old bourbon and she just swigs it down, making him grimace. There's a few good little convos about it in the movie, a nice little treat for bourbon fans. She also guzzles down a LOT of Maker's Mark throughout.

jcg9779 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The girlfriend and I went and saw "People Like Us" last weekend and there's one scene where the main character is in his father's old office, which also had a bar. I think I remember seeing an old IW Harper decanter, among other bottles/decanters, on the bar area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Rear Window was on this past weekend and while watching "Jeff" (James Stewart) his detective friend Doyle and Grace Kelly drink whiskey from a bottle with red label lettering. I could not make out the details. The movie was from 1954....any candidates? I wish I could find a screen shot capture.http://www.imsdb.com/scripts/Rear-Window.html INT. JEFF'S APARTMENT - NIGHT - SEMI-CLOSEUP What he has observed seems to give Jeff an idea. He moves his wheelchair backward and to the left alongside the side board. Awkwardly, with his left hand, he reaches up for a bottle of whiskey. He cradles the bottle in his lap, and reaches for a tumbler. He then wheels back to the window, and pours himself a good, long drink. He lifts up the glass, starts to drink, but something happening beyond his window startles him and he stops in the middle of his drink, his eyes a little wider then usual.A lot of booze scenes in that film within the apartment and the party taking place in the other apartment windows.http://www.alfredhitchcockgeek.com/2011/11/rear-window-and-case-of-swirling.htmlThe lovely Grace Kelly with brandy snifters...Love the camera rig he used...http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Travel/Late_offers/pictures/2010/3/12/1268420313965/rearwindow-001.jpg Edited January 24, 2013 by p_elliott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
