I guess the article linked to says it is (I read a different article about this earlier to be fair), although I also think that’s a guess by police that it’s a woman if that photo is all they have to go on.
I do not because I think they’re kind of pretentious, but I am also not that old and American, so it’s a little different.
I am totally not trying to brag, just giving this as an example: My dad was a film historian. When I was a teenager, he had some directors come to the university for a conference. One of them was the director Peter Bogdanovich. He wore an ascot. I thought he was a tool because of it. I was right too.
Since I’m on this subject, John Landis was also at the conference. He was a very nice guy. He also did a showing of An American Werewolf in London and got up in front of the crowd when it was over and said, “I haven’t seen this movie in 15 years and I forgot how much it fucking sucks.” I enjoy directors with a lot of humility and self-criticism. It’s the sign of an artist.
I watch that movie every 10 years or so, and every time I think, “oh yeah that’s why I didn’t like it” but I actually do like it a little bit because I’m a fan of crappy horror
I actually quite like it, but I didn’t make it. And as someone who has worked in creative fields most of my life, I totally understand that feeling. I am very often dissatisfied with things I did a long time ago (I don’t even like watching them) and find all kinds of flaws with them that I wouldn’t make now.
You always have more to learn in any field and knowing that is really important. But the drawback is you look back on previous projects, especially old ones, and the flaws are really obvious to you. Sometimes even things you didn’t realize were flaws.

I think that scarf gave it away ;)
Does it? I’m a man and I wear a scarf.
Ooh! Are you the infamous Red Baron?
Does your scarf look like that or is it more of a tails flapping kind of thing?
That would depend on how I tied it. It could also be an ascot, which men also wear sometimes, especially older men.
You’re right. Looked at it again, and I can see an old man.
Do you have an ascot?
