Well executed, most enjoyable video. That scene with the Professors giving a pen as a sign of recognition and honor was touching.
This is unrelated to the subject, but some of my fellow subscribers would appreciate knowing that Sunday 16 June is Bloomsday - 120 years from the day Joyce's Ulysses was set. I cannot afford a trip to Dublin, but I plan to dress in some Light Academdemia, with a pen, a commonplace journal, and Garber's Edition of the book and drink Jamieson at my local Irish themed pub.
I love it! Well done! By the way, more Dark Academia is coming up!
More dark academia! I’m here for it!
We should start a dark academia con for fp nerds.
I had not encountered Light Academia before!
@@evilcritter' Light academia is an internet aesthetic and subculture that emphasizes positive themes and visually light aesthetics. It's often considered the lighter counterpart to dark academia, which is darker and moodier.'
When I saw the montblanc on the Netflix show Ripley, I immediately wondered how many other people would know what fountain pen it is. I’m happy that it has been mentioned. Thank u Hemingway Jones
My Pleasure!
Fun video! It’s still up! The opening scene of “Inglorious Basterds” where Col Hans Landa pulls out an ink well and fills his pen (which I assume is a Pelikan or Mont Blanc) going about his genocidal business with fashion and efficiency is just so compelling and repulsive!
You can catch that here: ruclips.net/video/vc0W6BEmHco/видео.html Thanks!
@@HemingwayJones Hey, I missed that! Nice!
The new Ripley on Netflix was great. Loved the black and white. And the Montblanc does look like a 149 in that one.
Sincerely! Awesome Cinematography. Thanks for watching.
Since I just bought a Montblanc 149 while I was in Italy, my favorite was A Beautiful Mind. I adore that movie. Such an interesting, informative and entertaining video. You always go that extra mile in filming these, thank you.
The Talented Mr Ripley was the only one of these films I saw. I probably noticed the pen but forgot about it. When it comes to fountain pens in film, the first thing that comes to mind for me is a certain Three Stooges short: The one where they destroy a luxury hotel room. The hotel manager instructs the house detective to keep an eye on them. Curly notices the detective peeking through the keyhole, pulls out a fountain pen with a lever filler, sticks the nib in the keyhole and moves the lever, squirting ink in the detective's eye. Moe approaches Curly and says, "What's going on?". Curly says "I just dotted his eye!".
Love the Three Stooges! That’s a great scene. Thanks!
I just remembered…the first thing that got me interested in fountain pens was the movie, “Needful Things”. Actor Max Von Sydow’s character, Leland Gaunt, was writing with what looks like a Visconti pen.
The second thing, was that I also had some mathematics professors who used fountain pens. One of my favorite professors kept a Montblanc in the pocket of his jacket.
I'll have to seek out that one. I didn't see it. I believe that is a Stephen King adaptation. Thanks!!!
This short film you've created needs to be included in your Dark Academia playlist! Chef's kiss.
Thank you so so much! This means the world to me!
The iconic opening scene of Inglorious Basterds also features a fountain pen. A pen being filled even, if I’m not mistaken.
You can catch it here: ruclips.net/video/vc0W6BEmHco/видео.html Thanks for watching!
What fun! What a great video. If anyone wants to place fountain pens before me on a tabletop I'm available.
That pen from "Ripley": wow!
You and me both, Brother. Although, I would return them! As I said in the video.
I also get stoked when Marty writes the letter to Doc in the first back to the future… I think it’s still a mystery as to what kind of pen it is.
Nice! Don’t know. I’ll have to check it out
Ever since I got serious about fountain pens as a collection, I always try to figure out what the pen is when I see one. Just today I was reading an article that used a photo of a Parker Jotter signing a piece of paper. The sight of the nib and part of the section was enough to identify it for me!
Nice! It is a lot of fun. Sometimes it’s hard. You just don’t see enough to confirm it. It is a fun sport; sort of a Fountain Pen Safari.
I agree, not a 149. John Nash and I had the same advisor at CMU (Nash was a graduate student at Princeton, undergraduate at CMU). Nash's advisor at CMU was later my PhD advisor.
That is pretty amazing. Very small sphere of Academia. I hope you had your pen ceremony!
Great video, thanks HJ! I do prefer the montblanc 146 in The Talented Mr Ripley. The way the characters use it is much more natural than Ripley alone blandishes 'his' 149 in the recent series, and makes it a part of their lives. Moving scenes where teachers bring fountain pens to their old colleague as a testimony of their respect, yeah!
It was so festishized in "Ripley." I fount that fascinating from our perspective as pen enthusiasts. Thanks very much!
I cannot afford a Montblanc fountain pen 149 Meisterstück - but I have rediscovered the pleasure of writing with these classic writing instruments that are: a pen (point B and BB) - A beautiful object + liquid ink + beautiful paper or good notebook in a beautiful binding - all (re)starting with a Lamy - other will say that a Bic ballpoint pen will suffice - that it is a useless luxury or that luxury is useless - a waste of time and money - useless pride - we will also say that it is an attitude, a posture, a spirit of seriousness or definitiveness that one adds to a moment in one's life or to one's entire life and to one's work or art
I love this comment and completely agree! There is something about taking an interest in your writing instrument that elevates the experience.
Outstanding work, T-man. Very enjoyable and brilliantly executed marriage of fountain pens and cinematic endeavor. 10 on the "art" and information scale, my friend.
Thanks Brother! That means the world to me! I am so glad you enjoyed it!
This episode brought to my mind "Casino", which probably has the most famous scene with a pen as a key object. It is not a fountain pen, but a "nice" ballpoint pen, that Nicky Santoro uses as a weapon in a bar fight.
You know, I could probably put it in the Intro as I did with the 2001 scene! I am sure I will do another. Thanks!!!
Thank you Hemingway for what is one of your best videos! I certainly find the pen ceremony to be so moving. More such please.
Thank you very much! I am very appreciative.
I have watched this video a few times. It is stunning! Your descriptions really draws me into the movies!
Thank you so much!
Great choice of films, containing the most beautiful appearances of fountainpens in cinematic history.
Not a fp but imho worth mentioning:
In the second film of the matrix trilogy, as neo meets the "architect" in person, the latter uses a remote in a room full of tv screens. The prop for that "remote" is a LAMY swift rollerball.😅
Very cool! Thanks for that.
HJ - You've got the only fountain pen related RUclips channel that I'll watch any more. You've spoiled us!
Thank you! I appreciate it greatly! Feel free to share this with anyone else that might enjoy it. Thank you!!!!
The Infiltrator with Brian Cranston has a fountain pen scene in which his character used a silver and white fountain pen to mark a ledger. I think it is a Montblanc Meisterstück Solitaire.
Very nice! I didn’t know that one. Thank you.
Wow these are movies/shows I've not seen ... so cool when a fountain pen appears!!! This video was pure fun and so awesome!!! ✒️📺
Thanks so much, Chris! Thanks for watching!
In the John Nash pen presentation clip you shared, when there are four black pens on the table, I'm almost certain the three non-Montblanc pens are Cross Radiances. Radiances were only about $20 and would have been readily available on the market when A Beautiful Mind was produced. The double-banding on Radiance's cap was modeled after its big-brother Cross Townsend -- and I think we see a Lustrous Chrome Townsend appear on the table a few seconds later. I have many Cross Radiance and Solo pens in my collection and I've enjoyed writing with all of them. Despite their low cost, they were shockingly good-writers, and they apparently looked enough like expensive pens that they were slipped into that movie scene.
Thank you for another wonderful video. I always enjoy your productions and look forward to watching them! 😊
Thank you so much!
Well, Andrew Scott and the 149 win my votes! I love them both! Seeing that Montblanc so many times over the course of the RIPLEY series convinced me someday I “need” that ginormous writing instrument! Great video, once again, with excellent editing and detail. Lovely to watch!
Thank you so much! I think Andrew Scott is now my favorite Ripley. He was amazing. Each scene of that show was perfect.
According to the Thomas Harris books, Hannibal Lecter was a descendant of the Visconti family in Europe. It would have been something to have him write with the unrelated Visconti fountain pens. Tippi Hedren used a fountain pen in The Birds. Charlie Brown used one in The Peanuts Movie.
I didn’t know the Lecter Visconti connect. I knew the Pazzi reference. Thanks!
Tippi was using an office dip pen, right?
Have you seen the original film adaptation of the Talented Mr. Ripley? It's from 1960, called "Plein Soleil" or "Purple Noon", and the movie also opens with a Montblanc Pen, which is interesting because I don't think that Highsmith specified "Montblanc" in the book, but it seems pretty settled in everything that followed. I think she simply referred to it as "the black fountain pen with gold initials" or something similar. Nice work on the video... I enjoyed it!
Fabulous video.
I miss the Hannibal series. I remember what a great episode that finale was, but I forgot about that scene.
Yeah me too! It was different. It should have been on Netflix. Thanks for the kind words.
Many film nior movies have scenes showing a character writing a quick note with a fountain pen.
always enjoy this themed vids, HJ. pls continue this... tq.
greetings from Malaysia.
Glad you like them! More to come and thanks!
Hope this Video gets a complete series. I am enjoying it. Also loved your exploration on our favorite writer's weapons of choice!
EDIT: That S. T. Dupont is magnificent!
I am planning a new one in a few. Did you catch the first one? Thanks! ruclips.net/video/vc0W6BEmHco/видео.html
@@HemingwayJones Loved how you gave a budget alternative for the fountain pens in this video.
Watched the first one in the link and I guess that modern lever fillers like that Conway Stewart must be oddites.
Thanks! I should do more of that! Thank you for the great feedback.
Hi. Just wonderful Hemingway, just perfectly wonderful.🤗 Cheers from Australia.🦘
Thank you very much!
Moominpappa was writing his memoirs with a nice looking fountain pen in the Japanese 90s anime series.
Thank you for this! Am animated addition would be fun.
How inspirational, awakens the artiste.. love attention to detail, with style and quality displayed. You have made me want to watch all these films. I have a MB 145 from what i can see, i think you are correct in your observation. Having a look at some films from the 50s and 60s with an eye for fountain pens would be fun, and perhaps Sean Connery Bonds perhaps. Evokes warm feelings of the finer things in life.
All the best H.J.
Wow, thank you! I appreciate your kind words.
I've only ever seen A Beautiful Mind, but it's been years and years since I've even thought about it. it was one of my favorites when I watched it. I'm going to have to watch it again soon! The Talented Mr. Ripley was a movie I always heard was good, but I'd never seen. Going to have to check it out or the Netflix show. great video Hemingway!
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
I totally agree with "A Beautitful Mind". The first scene was a great set-up, as you point out and combining his aged appearance as symbolizing his struggles with the fountain pen ritual was enough for an Oscar.
Hear, hear! Thank you!
Hello HJ. Wonderful video. The series, Hannibal was definitely my favorite. I owe the DVD's and have watched it many times. The elegance and sophistication of this series is second to none. Once again, you have proven to be the most imaginative pen person on U tube. Keep them coming my friend.
Thank you so much, My Friend! You are always such a kind and encouraging voice here. I appreciate it.
Huge video, interesting from the content point of view. But I have to thank you again because your videos have such quality and subtlety, always with the right and just word, a narration so kind and well expressed that they are a delight to watch.
Thank you very much! I appreciate that! Thanks for watching.
I’ve not watched the third mention, but the first two are great. Max Von Snowden’s character in Three Days of the Condor used a Montblanc 149. Could have been a bic though the way he used it.
I love that film. I wrote about his trench coat in an issue of “Classic Style.”
Beautiful video Hem. Just racing home from Britain I’ve been thinking about a favorite film of mine: 84 Charing cross road. More about books than fountain pens… but a vibe I believe you and Helen would both love.
Thanks very much! That is a charming film. I’m not sure if Hellen has seen it.
Besides the Ripley productions you mentioned, in a future episode don’t forget the 1960 French film adaptation PURPLE NOON, with ALAIN DELON as Ripley. That was an excellent one directed by René Clemént. There’s at least one scene that I recall where Ripley is forging Greenleaf’s signature either on a check or hotel registry with (what’s supposed to be, and perhaps really is) a fine fountain pen. There may be other such shots. There’s a famous scene in which he’s practicing the forgery on a wall over and over, but I think that’s with a marker.
Thanks Hemingway!
Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed this!
Great selections of various pens. I particularly enjoyed the calligraphy. I am hypnotized when I watch. Thank yoso very much. It took a lot of energy and work to put this video together and I appreciate your effort.
Thank you very much!
Ha, Ha from the opening I thought finally someone is going to review the zero G pen in the Pan Am shuttle in 2001, sigh, alas. Great video as usual and 3 films I didn’t expect nor know anything about. I guess I will have to check out “A Beautiful Mind. Sorry this is so late, I did see the video as soon as it aired, but just getting around to commenting. Thanks
Thanks for commenting. All comments help always!
Thank you for such a great episode. ❤
Thank you!!!
Loved this Video. Probably your best yet. I loved how you edit the picture. I felt “there” during each of those scenes enjoying the beauty of the Pen.
Thanks John! I appreciate that! I’d like to think that we’re getting better as we go!
Excellent! Top Notch! Pleasing in every way! Bravo, Tim, Bravo!🎉
Thank you very much!!
Nice video! My favorite fountain pen in a movie is still going to be the Last Crusade's the-pen-is-mightier-than-the-sword scene.
I did that in Part 1! Catch it! I also did a review of that actual pen. All the best!
I was anxious to look at this video. I loved everything about it. I love to see how some of us are particularly careful in how we dress and choose our tools to work with each day. You did a wonderful job, and i thank you. To me, everything was thoughtfully and precisely done.
Thank you very much! I appreciate it.
"I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen"
I need to use that one! Thanks Man! Happy to see you on here!
Excellent!!!
Glad you like it! Thank you!
Great video, one of my favorites 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
A great video! I really enjoyed the new series of Ripley. That pen was such a big part of the movie. The series on Hannibal looks interesting. Thanks for the cool video!
Thank you for watching!
That was fun! Thanks for finding fountain pens in movies and TV.
Thanks for watching!
WONDERFUL! This was a great video! That pen ceremony, is just SO awesome! Even if it is not real, what a moment! Have to watch that movie, now! A funny story. . .not long after I received my Pelican M800, I was watching an episode of Murder She Wrote, and someone had stolen Jessica's favorite pen. . .It was never opened, but it was a Pelikan, either the M800 or M1000! I was stoked! Another episode, she was visiting a friend in New Mexico and lost her pen. She meets a local Native American guy (who is also the local Sheriff) out in the desert, and when he leaves, there is the Pelikan lying on the rock on which he was sitting. She picks up the pen and kisses it! I had seen those episodes before, but never noticed what the pen was until I saw the green with black stripes on the barrel!
That is awesome! That is the classic color for them! Thanks so much!’
Montblanc pens are beautiful. Vintage all the way. Never seen a beautiful mind.
Thank you!
A lovely, well put together video!! Bravo! From this English major who started writing the diss. with two Watermans.
Have you seen the film _Love in The Time of Cholera_? Writing letters is a huge part of that film; I don't recall whether fountain pens were used (or some earlier equivalent), though.
Thanks very much! I haven’t seen that one. I’ll try to catch it. All the best.
I haven't seen any of these movies but your video makes me want to!
Thanks so much! I appreciate that!
That was such a fun episode! Last night I was in our local watering hole with my wife, sitting at the bar and journaling with my Pilot Custom 743 SM. The bartender exclaimed, “Oh my goodness! Is that your handwriting!? It looks like something out of the movies! I wish I could write like that. Would you write a letter to my mom for me?” Now, how could I refuse?
That is so nice! I love how this hobby brings people together.
For sure, Ripley had me lusting for that pen when I don't consider myself a Mont Blanc girl. I think Andrew Scott has something to do with it. Hannibal is EVERYTHING! Of course, Mads Mikkelsen played the best version of the eponymous villain. I adore him in everything he has done so far. Thank you for this video. Finally, someone on the youtube fountain pen community addressed that Ripley effect....cos it is real...
Thank you very much! I wanted to put this up sooner, but I needed to space it out from the first one. We agree on a lot! Thanks again!
Wow. Great vid !! lol. After having lost my entire pen collection I could use a bunch of folks putting pens on my table ! 😂😂. What a shame it's not an actual tradition. It should be. ❤
Lost your collection? As in stolen? That's really rough. 😢
@@archivist17 Right?! I nearly got a ❤ attack (And it's not even MY... pathetic/basic collection 😢 #SoSorry)
We should start it! Thanks for the kind words.
SPECTACULAR! right down to the music and closing credits. LOVE THIS! Such attention to detail throughout! I had forgotten about the pen ceremonies being the most touching part of "Beautiful Mind" (and how young Crowe looked back then.) 'bella penna" INDEED! Everything here is bella 💯 Thank you so much... you've earned another SUPER THANKS!
Thank you so much! This is so kind and so encouraging . I am so glad you enjoyed. Thank you for your generous support.
What a beautiful video movie clips and fountain pens HJ you have out done yourself, love,love this!!
Glad you enjoyed it Thank you, Karen!
I don’t know if anyone else mentioned this, have you seen the movie, Candy, from 1968? I admit that I didn’t finish the movie. Maybe 15 minutes in, Richard Burton used a black fountain pen. I couldn’t tell what it was.
I have not seen it. Thanks for letting me know. Thanks for watching too.
I can see why you are so proud of this video. Very professionally done! It is quite a work of art in its own right. Bravo!
Thank you, My Friend! That is very kind of you!
I have a MB 144/Classique, which is quite slender in my hand. Based solely on what is shown on screen, I would have to say that he’s probably using a 146. I’m no expert, of course, and my pen is second hand, so I can’t be certain.
That works for me! It’s hard identifying pens by clips. It’s all relative and then there is lens distortion. Not easy!
For a MontBlanc clone, I think the Yongsheng 630 in one of the Black Piano Fence window options would be just as good if not better in the banding.
Wonderful choice! Thanks for this!
I’m not giving away my 149 to someone at work😂😂😂
Right!? “Hold on, John, I have to run home and grab a TWSBI!”
@@HemingwayJones A Jinhao.
I like these videos. Keep up the great work! Also - are you going to the Pelikan Show in Sept in Boston?
Thanks so much! I promise I will keep it up! What Pelikan Show? I don't know about this one!
The movie that always stood out was mentioned in your video, A Beautiful Mind. I really was sad when I found out that wasn’t an active practice because I found it so charming!
Great video!
I agree! I hated saying it in the video because it’s so moving. That’s how good the writing was.
So well done, Hemingway! I never watched Hannibal and now I really think I should!
Thank you Allie! I am so glad you liked this.
I think it’s a MB146 in “Ripley”. Giving a fine pen/pen set for a graduation gift has been a fairly common practice, probably more so in past years than more recent times. But the tradition still lives on! I did not see the Hannibal Lecturer movie you mentioned, but I think I’ll see if I can. Thanks for another great video!
Thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed this video! Fountain pens always look so elegant on film. I must watch A Beautiful Mind, it's the only one I haven't seen. I would certainly love to be bestowed with all those pens, but I also can't help but wonder if they've got backups. I'd hate to give away my Montblanc! I keep thinking of getting a 149, but I think I might try out the Jinhao first to see if I like such a large pen.
Right!? What would we do in that situation!? “Hold on John, I have to run home a grab this old Cross pen. It’s nice, but I have my MB on me now, you understand!”
@HemingwayJones I bet regular folk watch that scene and think, "What is he supposed to do with all those pens?"
@@evilcritter I agree entirely, evilcritter. I thought the same thing as I was watching the video! However, until now I always thought of myself as a member of the "regular folk", but now I realize, as a pen enthusiast, that I am obviously in the "irregular folk" camp (and proud of it). 😁
Good sleuthing, Sherlock! Lovely video, very much enjoyed the outro as well. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Can you do a comparison video of a vintage Conklin Crescent Filler and the modern Mark Twain series Crescent Filler. It would be great for if you do another famous author’s pens video.
That would be fun! I just need to get my hands on one.
Glad that Princeton had the respect to give John quality fountain pens. If it was up to the fountain pen community, you would see a lot of ballpoints given out to co-workers, smh. I would give away a Jotter.
As the camera cut away, all of the pens were politely returned! Thanks so much!
Thanks for this wonderful video! I'll have to try to see Hannibal, since it is a show I've not seen despite seeing Silence of the Lambs on opening night. A Beautiful Mind is the movie with the best use of fountain pens in my opinion. That touched me when I saw the film at cinema.
Thank you very much! That may be the greatest pen scene in any film, ever!
I just watched Three Thousand Years of Longing last night. Near the end, when we see Tilda Swinton's character finishing a sketch in her journal with a fountain pen, I knew the pen nerd community could tell me what it was. Sure enough, reddit concluded it was a Lamy Scala, which was one I had never heard of.
It is a gorgeous film, btw.
I love that film. It is so underrated. So so good!
Yes, great video! Fountain pens and handwriting in film are great topics. Thanks, HJ!
Great job HJ👍
Thanks 👍
Thank your for your wonderful pen videos!
Thank you so much! Your support means the world to me. Thank you!
@@HemingwayJonesps - Happy Father's Day ✍️
Thanks for the recommendations!
Any time!
Pianists always try to guess what piano is being used, same for guitarists. Serious clothing people are trying to guess designers. I’m always trying to read the title of any book in view. And so it goes.Good set designers know that some people care about the details.
Details are fun! Truly. Thanks.
"And so it goes..." Ha! Thank you for sneaking in a Kurt Vonnegut reference. Now I wonder what pens Kurt liked to use. Hmm...
Excellent excellent video,thanks.
Thank you!!!!
A more mundane use of a fountain pen in television (after they'd went out of fashion, mainstream) would be by Peter Falk as Columbo. Not to mention all of the vintage movies in the 1920s through the 1950s. 😉
You just made me want to go and watch all the Thin Man movies! I am sure Nick or Nora Charles certainly must have a scene writing something with a fountain pen!
@@SuSuSham They certainly do! (My niece's favorite series of movies. 😁)
My fav is A Beautiful Mind. It and Proof take me back to uni where I endeavored to achieve an understanding if 'dif e.q.' And a couple of friends who were diagnosed with bipolar or schizophrenia at that time. The stress of academics was a huge challenge for some of us. Would Nash give up his accomplishments for a 'healthy' mind? I don't know. Like the movie Proof, Nash showed that brilliance can toe the line with mental instability. The scene with the pens is epic. I wish it actually happened. Each pen scribed brilliance and all that was touched by the character Nash. Such a touching scene.
But Ripley I have to disagree. Jude Law is easier on the eyes. I never noticed the acting... ever. I feel better about my 146 now. We might have something in common, me n Jude. 😂
Thanks so much! I am glad you enjoyed this. I don't think we disagree. I loved Jude Law. He was great as Dickey. It was Andrew Scott that made a better Ripley than Matt Damon, who is pretty much the same in everything he does. Hope you are having a great weekend!
@@HemingwayJones maybe. Andrew Scott is captivating as the antagonist in any production. I can't get over his Sherlock Holmes character. It's always there when I watch him. Overall, I have a bias for all first productions so I totally embrace Damon as Ripley. I really enjoyed the video and said 'That's it? Really?' I wanted more. Much more!
Really good video! I have to go watch A Beautiful Mind now!
Thank you!
Just watched Three Days of the Condor. Three minutes in, can you identify that pen? Probably a Monteblanc.
HJ : I understand that the man sitting with Russel Crowe ( playing the part of John Nash) was, in fact, the real John Nash!
Actually, and sorry for being pedantic, but the Chap sitting with him is Austin Pendleton, a fantastic character actor. There were many of Nash’s friends around him and Nash visited set, according to my research for this video. I don’t believe he appears, but I would have to check for that specifically. Thanks so much for watching! I’m glad that scene affected you as much as it did me.
Although FPs are central neither to the plot nor to character development, they turn up regularly in the Netflix series "The Crown". It is just that each and every scene in which a FP appears would have looked ridiculous featuring anything other than a FP..
I need to watch A Beautiful Mind. It's the only book in my entire life that I have dnf'd and I have tried to read it 3 times.
Dear Hemingway Jones, here in Brazil the doctors and lawyers are the people that uses fountain pens. Is this the same in United States and other parts of the world?
In my experience, a lot of Doctors in their off time, lawyers absolutely, and Bankers! Like me! Thanks for watching.
I have a question, has anyone seen a Parker Sonnet fountain pen in any movies?
If I spot one, I’ll let you know.
may not be a fountain pen but the pen in "sell me this pen" in the wolf of wall street is striking for me. It is gorgeous.
Thanks, certainly a famous pen scene. I could use it in the intro as I did 2001. Best!
Product placement, paid for by the featured company. Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Levis, they all did it in the past, and perhaps many still do. One wonders how much Montblanc paid for their brief appearances.
I don’t know. That’s a good question. In the modern Ripley, they never show the logo, so I am guessing that was unsanctioned. But in the others… You make an excellent point.
And by the way, if they want to pay me to include MB pens in the videos, that would be fine! Thanks!
@@HemingwayJones So would I, except I don't have any videos. Maybe one day. In any case, I absolutely love your reviews of fountain pen inks! Good inks can make or break a fountain pen, and these colors these days are just gorgeous! Ink designers have really done their homework. We love your channel at our house! Keep up the wonderful work.
Thank you! I am doing a Sheen Off soon! Should be fun! Thank you so much for the kind words!!!!
I agree the beautiful mind is my favorite part. One film that shows a fountain pen is The Iron Lady. The scene where Margaret Thatcher is writing the mothers of the fallen of the Falkland Islands.
Thank you! I’ll check that one.
First comment! Awesome video! I'll have to watch Hannibal now.
Thanks very much! I am glad you enjoyed it.
In Octopussy Q modifies a Mont Blanc
fountain pen as a gadget for Bond, the movie combines my love for fountain pens with my love for Backgammon.
I love that scene. Thanks!
Checking the Crown must be interesting
