deangold Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 And to Patrick McGoohan as well. Bad day for classic sci-fi.It would take a small wine collection to drink along to a rewatching of his wonderful the prisoner. We have sat thru it end to end, twice, and loved every second! Living in Harmony and Free for All and the two part final episodes are some of the greatest filmmaking of all time! I would put Living in Harmony up with Kurosawa's Yojimbo as the perfect Westerns.

deangold Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Not sure you'll be happy that they're remaking The Prisoner...a mini series with only one number 2? Because if it is just one "episode, how the hell are they taking 5 months to film it and if it is a long complex storyline, how can they not have a changing #2? Even if its Ian McKellen, WTF?!?!?!? I love the Sir Lew Grade quote in Patrick McGoohan's obit about not understanding a word of that PMcG said in pitching The Prisoner yet "green lighting" it anyways. Don't think that would happen today. I fear that this The Prisoner will be to the original as Korbel is to the real stuff. For the second time today, I return this website to its original location from my soapbox. WTF are my anti anxiety pills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waitman Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 The best pizza joint on Earth. Or at least Coney Island. After a little lounging around we made the hike down to Coney Island, and worked our appetite back up on the Cyclone, the Wonder Wheel and a couple of other "National Register of Historic Places"-type rides, and the brief walk to Totonno's Pizza. Much has been written about Totonno's on eGullet, and I have little to add, save that it may now be my favorite pizza place in the world.I also found the place a little surreal - this tiny slice of 50's-era Italian- American life, complete with extended family on the sidewalk in lawn chairs - dropped into a neighborhood that too often resembles a combat zone. With few exceptions, the walk to Totonno's from the beach is relentlessly oppressive - vacant lots, boarded up houses, small children with no shoes. Then you turn the corner onto Neptune, a wide, almost treeless street, bright and hot and lined on both sides with the kind of body shop you might go to if you were looking to get your wheels back after finding your car up on blocks. A lot of glare and razor wire; everybody smokes and everybody looks you up and down as you walk by.When, about a block away, you see the awning and the family out front, you know where to turn in. Inside, there's a couple of bikers, a couple of yups (besides us), a large Italian family and a soft-core porn queen getting shot for an upcoming issue of FHM.The kids from the sidewalk are running in and out, the shooter's strobe keeps flashing, there's a limo pulling up, the handlers and make-up artist dance in and out of the first booth. And, through it all, the pizza guy keeps turning out brilliant, crisp, spicy pies, with an expression that says: just another day at the office.
