Friday, April 8  fridays are tie days -allie fox  In Mosquito
Coast, inventor Allie Fox (Harrison Ford) drags his family
(including wife Helen Mirren and son, a young River Phoenix) to
Central America and the titular jungle. Great rant early on in
the hardware store about domestic vs foreign goods. Lot of
bombastic father-figure stuff as it all unravels though.  Bow
ties were traditionally the choice of draftsmen, doctors (esp
paediatricians and ob/gyn) and any kind of machinist. Anyone
that has to lean over anything, doesn't want their tie to either
dip into something or get caught in moving parts. Pure
practicality. No, Allie Fox isn't any particular sartorial
influence, just an excuse to talk about bow ties... And word to
the nerds -no he doesn't wear Indy boots this time.  No
