the lonely planet tome also has 200 more trip ideas , from coastal roads and desert drives to wine trails and cultural cruises .

“‘wild wild west’ was less painful than ‘ after earth ’ because my son was involved in ‘after earth , ’ and i led him into it . that was excruciating , ” the 46 - year - old said . then he contemplated the importance of having films that topped box office charts .

the route , which has reinvigorated tourism all along ireland ' s coast , is named alongside the planet ' s most famous road trips .

“in both the united states and italy , [ wild , wild planet ] was very successful and margheriti directed three more adventures set on gamma one . these include war of the planets ( 1965 ) , the snow devils ( 1965 ) and war between the planets ( 1966 ) . war of the planets and the snow devils also had u . s . releases through metro - goldwyn - mayer while war between the planets was later picked up by fanfare films in 1971 . ”

the co clare landmark - one of the highlights of the wild atlantic way - topped conde nast’s chart of “the nine gorgeous cliff views that rival the grand canyon” .

it had to do with how it felt to be in the wild . with what it was like to walk for miles with no reason other than to witness the accumulation of trees and meadows , mountains and deserts , streams and rocks , rivers and grasses , sunrises and sunsets . the experience was powerful and fundamental . it seemed to me that it had always felt like this to be a human in the wild , and as long as the wild existed it would always feel this way . ”

" ireland ' s west coast is battered by atlantic rollers , strewn with jagged cliffs and littered with wide beaches and sandy coves , " says lonely planet .

the lonely planet said the stunning west of ireland coast more than matched up to more headline - grabbing coastal drives like california’s big sur and australia’s great ocean road .

in recent months another travel publication , conde nast traveler , ranked the sweeping views across the atlantic from the cliffs of moher as the best “cliff view” on the planet .

impressed travel writers assured drivers they would be surrounded by “wild and rugged hills , glorious beaches , ancient heritage sites and world - renowned surf” , as they toured the western seaboard .

the other irish route named among the 50 road trips on the planet is northern ireland ' s coastal causeway route , now heavily signposted with ' game of thrones ' locations .

" in contrast with the show ' s shoestring budget , the music is surprisingly memorable . . . the fun of interactive theater is the audience participation , and ' wongo ' succeeds in that department . director rigano clearly prioritized a fun time . if drinks , dancing and music are your thing , ' wild women of planet wongo ' will not disappoint . "

the clare county council - owned attraction has undergone substantial investment in recent years and it notes that its position as a signature point along the wild atlantic way has contributed to its growing popularity .

" road signs advertise the dark hedges up ahead - one of the many recesses of ulster now famous as a backdrop for the tv phenomenon ' game of thrones ' , " says lonely planet .

not a bad variation of the mysterians crossed with brave new world with little westworld tossed in . i have to say the sets were pretty darn impressive in design for such a low low budget . how many indies have we all sat through that don ' t even try ? seriously , it surprises me that so many people can see the entertainment value in current day schlock like sky captain , blade : trinity or the forgotten but don ' t get as big a kick out of vintage stuff like wild wild planet . for me , i ' d rather see it in a low budget film than in a crass studio product ( emphasis on " product " ) . but , hey , i loved the apple ! director anthony margheriti was a prolific italian filmmaker who did a series of 60 ' s sf films and wild wild planet may have been the best . the film is slow in developing , and you have to question such an extensive use of miniatures when they rarely work ( if at all ) . still , it ' s a reminder that it ' s too bad italy ( and really the rest of the world outside of asia ) have basically given up on trying to compete with the u . s . in the sf genre .

“the laughs are broad in this ‘mystery science theatre’ meets ‘little shop of horrors’ original musical , growing from titters in the beginning to belly laughs by the end…the energy of the performers , playing off the audience , means a different show every night…the creative journey of ' wild women of planet wongo ' adds to its uniqueness – as the audience helps to inform what comes next for this clever piece of theatre . ” full review

the clone wars : wild space is the second in the series of novels inspired by star wars : the clone wars tv series , written by karen miller . the story is set concurrently with tv episodes downfall of a droid and duel of the droids , and features several scenes from the show depicted from a different point of view . [ 4 ] the audio adaption of the clone wars : wild space was performed by jeff gurner .

ambiguously gay : zapp ' s reaction to seeing the planet express men in a go - go cage ? " there ' s something very wrong here . . . and yet , a little bit right . "

the wild atlantic way was ranked the best of five spectacular roads less travelled , beating off the gaspesie tour in quebec in canada , norway’s fjords and islands , the pan - american highway in southern peru and croatia’s adriatic coast .

2015 . the leaders of a federation of planets led by earth are mysteriously disappearing , and the little evidence available points to the lab of a scientist working on a distant asteroid . but when the united democracies ' commander of distant space station gamma i , michael halstead ( tony russel ) , receives orders to investigate , he uncovers a far more sinister plot than anyone suspected . now with a brilliant , mad scientist abducting - - and miniaturizing - - the galaxy ' s leaders and creating a super race of robotic warriors , only commander halstead can save the woman he loves and defend the entire galaxy from a nefarious megalomaniac based on a distant , wild , wild planet .

“i had diverged , digressed , wandered , and become wild . i didn ' t embrace the word as my new name because it defined negative aspects of my circumstances or life , but because even in my darkest days—those very days in which i was naming myself—i saw the power of the darkness . saw that , in fact , i had strayed and that i was a stray and that from the wild places my straying had brought me , i knew things i couldn ' t have known before . ”

and the adventure continues : the movie ends with the planet express crew flying into a wormhole into an unknown region of space that they could possibly never return from . . . and , originally , the entire series was going to end on that note .

" ' wild women of planet wongo ' lives up to the fun title indeed ! . . . if you’re super sensitive to the whole feminism movement , it might not be the show for you . but the music sure is catchy . all of the actors did a fantastic job with the songs and choreography , especially in such a small space . . . there is no serious plot or heavy demeanor here . go , let your hair down , dance with a stranger , drink an unknown concoction , and enjoy the movement that is immersive theater . " full review

double meaning title : the movie title can refer to either the return of the green wave of life - giving chi , or the ending in which the planet express crew goes on the run , basically into parts unknown , or as bender puts it " into the breach " .

when it looks like planet express is going out of business , the professor removes hermes and zoidberg ' s career chips ( then reinstates them when a bribe from leo wong is enough to save them ) . they ' re just as painful to add or remove as they ' ve always been .

as anakin takes ahsoka and a good sized portion of the grand army of the republic to counter grievous ' s forces at bothawui , senator bail organa gets a message from a shadowy ally of his that explains that there is a sith holocron on the planet of zigoola in wild space . obi - wan and padmé are told by organa , and obi - wan agrees to go with the senator in order to retrieve the holocron and seek what information lies within it . the jedi and the senator rendezvous with organa ' s contact in wild space , alinta , but the three of them are attacked by space pirates . alinta is killed , but obi - wan and organa continue to zigoola . but when they arrive on the planet , they crash several miles from the sith temple and are forced to walk there in order to retrieve the sith holocron . during the journey , however , obi - wan suffers hysterically by dark side illusions projected by the planet due to its dark side nature from being immersed in the sith . eventually , the duo just barely make it to the sith temple , but obi - wan can go no further because the closer they get to the holocron , the stronger the dark side is to obi - wan and weakens his power . obi - wan is finally able to get into the temple and destroy the holocron , taking a crystal with him out of the temple as it collapses because of obi - wan ' s presence . he believes the crystal can contact home . obi - wan heals from the dark side projected by the destroyed holocron and makes a force call with the crystal to master yoda back on coruscant . yoda sends padmé and several clone troopers to retrieve the duo from zigoola , which is successful .

the book then skips ahead a few months into the clone wars following anakin and his padawan ahsoka tano ' s rescue of jabba the hutt ' s son . after obi - wan receives valuable information from his friend , dexter jettster , about an attack on the planet bothawui by general grievous , obi - wan is injured in a sneak attack on coruscant by the confederacy of independent systems . his injuries are not fatal , so he lives , albeit barely .

“a fun , whimsical , funny and interactive show…the overall show is a bit predicable and corny in itself , but that is not to say that it doesn’t hold your attention…if you are looking for fancy or engaging , this is not for you . this is for those who enjoy having a few drinks while enjoying a more relaxed , off - the - wall and wild experience . . . the zingers were playful and delightful . bring a friend and enjoy a night of unexpected thrills . ” full review

a better title might have been " planet where the 60 ' s never ended , " but i am happy they did . dizzying conveyances , telephones with dial pads on the bottom ( now that ' s annoying ) , and corporations thumbing their noses at the federal government would be all the rage . hard to forget the hideous mass of circuits and vacuum tubes that nurmi praised as the " perfect computer . " i wonder what he would have thought upon seeing a power mac cube .

yet , for those fans of campy and dare i say it – cheesy – movies , it’s not without its charms . much like mario bava’s planet of the vampires ( 1965 ) , it’s the atmosphere , rather than the plot , that counts . with a skillful use of color and costumes and a hint of grotesquerie here and there , there’s just enough pizazz to keep the viewer engaged throughout . plus , there’s cult film favorite franco nero – a quite young and clean - shaven nero , i should add – in an early supporting role .

" amanda nicholas and the wongette ensemble permeate so much energy and fun into the space you can’t help but join in . the story itself is corny and predictable at best , but if this is meant to pay homage to those early sci - fi films then budick , maches , and ogrin have nailed it . their music and lyrics provide the perfect mash - up of kitsch meets catchy ' 60s tunes . . . what makes ' planet wongo ' truly unique , however , is david rigano’s direction to make the experience naturally immersive . " full review

commander mike halstead of the united democracies space command investigates the disappearances of a number of people on earth . dr nurmi come aboard mikes command , the space station gamma 1 , to conduct experiments in miniaturised human organs . nurmi seduces mikes girlfriend lieutenant connie gomez away for a holiday to the planet delphos . mikes investigation uncovers the crazed nurmis scheme , using beautiful women and bald , four - armed zombies to abduct people by miniaturising them . nurmi is intending to build a genetically perfect human race , as well as to graft one side of each his and connies bodies together .

the separatists have launched a sneak attack on coruscant . obi - wan kenobi , wounded in battle , insists that anakin skywalker and his rookie padawan ahsoka leave on a risky mission against general grievous . but when senator bail organa reveals explosive intelligence that could turn the tide of war in the republic ' s favor , the jedi master agrees to accompany him to an obscure planet in the outer rim to verify the facts . what obi - wan and bail don ' t realize is that they ' re walking into a deadly trap concocted by palpatine . . . and escape may not be an option .

for lack of a better descriptor , this seriously was a wild movie . there ' s a scientist that works for " the corporation " ( there was always an all powerful corporation that ' s more in control than the government in movies like these ) who is using teams of male / female robots to shrink people and . . . steal their organs ? i ' m going to be honest here i don ' t remember why they were shrinking people but i think it had something to do with organ synthesis or something like that . it really doesn ' t matter . all that matters is that you see people get shrunk down to doll size by a 4 armed manbot .

despite throwing up such an outre and colourful plot , the way antonio margheriti allows it all to transpire on screen is pedestrian and dull . this wild skew of ideas gets lost in a murky plot . the story never deigns to make it clear how nurmi is intending to create his genetic master race and what exactly his mini - skirted super - woman and four - armed zombies have to do with it , nor why his master race seems to require people being shrunken to doll - size . or for that matter exactly how his scheme to graft half his body with half that of the heroine will achieve this . the film seems trapped down at the level of a b detective - come - mad scientist film while never achieving the grandiose interstellar naivete and charm of a

the novel starts off just shortly after the first battle of geonosis and before the end of star wars : episode ii attack of the clones , where it turns out that anakin skywalker and padmé amidala ' s attraction toward one another during the battle was not undetected by the other jedi , such as yoda . the latter asks obi - wan kenobi to talk to padmé in order to dissuade her from advancing her romantic relationship with anakin . using her political skills , padmé lies by pretending to concede to yoda ' s whims , and asks for anakin to escort her back to her home planet of naboo , where , unbeknownst to obi - wan or anyone else , she and anakin will marry , an action that will later help bring anakin to the dark side of the force . this will be following anakin ' s recovery from the injury of his lost arm in his lightsaber duel with darth tyranus .

cmdr . mike halstead - officer in the space force and our hero . he has such a problem putting two and two together that you might think the equation required calculus .

lt . connie gomez - halstead ' s snippy girlfriend and supposedly the perfect female . i ' m assuming they mean from a genetic standpoint , because she seems like a royal _ _ _ _ _ . ( i ' ll give you some hints : five letters , first letter is a " b , " last letter is an " h , " and there is one vowel . )

charles - apparently a fellow member of the space force and halstead ' s friend . yup , good old charles .

jake - fiercely loyal to halstead ; he is the young rookie constantly being told to " look out . "

dr . delfos - scientist who is left a stunted midget after nearly being kidnapped ( more on that later ) .

the freaks - monstrous beings with four arms and pupils like a cat . tasked with carrying out abductions on earth , they are meant to be inconspicuous . everyone dresses in bright and flowing clothes , but these goons wear long black trench coats , black caps , and dark sunglasses .

nurmi - executive in cbm ( a powerful company ) . if you were told there was one evil person in the room and asked to point him out . . . . . . well , you would start baying like a hound and go after this guy . drowns in cherry kool - aid .

we have started a new millennium , despite doomsayers and computer programmers who only coded two digits for the date field . where are the flying cars , robot servants , and laser weapons ? although , this movie makes one think the flying car is best left on the drawing board . they careen through the air , seemingly out of control like a newbie piloting his first spathi ship . oh well , you cannot win them all .

to establish that " this is the future " we start with some scenes of astronauts working in space . one steps daintily along while another swings drunkenly on a wire , swimming through space ( i imagine the same people who controlled the car model were at work here ) . inside the space station things are progressing as well . nurmi is testing a batch of organs while arguing over the ethics of transplants with cmdr halstead . neither make any valid points ; they might as well be yelling " yes " or " no " at each other . following that refreshing discussion the company man takes a tour of the station . he watches connie teaching close combat skills and immediately starts making the moves on halstead ' s girlfriend .

fraternization between members is either discouraged or outright banned in modern military organizations , for obvious reasons . nobody minds that halstead is dating a member of his command ? and what in the world is nurmi thinking ? would you antagonize someone who had complete access to the station ' s functions ? " oops , it appears that mr . nurmi ' s cabin was depressurized by accident . have maintenance send over a cleaning crew . "

tragedy is averted when a telegram arrives from earth . missing persons reports are being submitted at a frightful rate ! halstead is summoned to help investigate before workers at the census bureau begin tearing out their hair in frustration . the audience already knows what is going on to an extent . mysterious pairs of men and women are accosting citizens , apparently at random , and doing something to them . the freaks in black envelop the victims in their trench coats and only a pile of clothes is left ( that are then picked up by the female ) .

dr . delfos ' narrow escape from abduction provides some vital clues . interrupted while wrapping around his target , the man in black allows a midget version of the doctor to scurry away . immediately the woman stabs him ( the trench coat guy ) with a needle . his empty clothes drop to the ground , then she makes good her escape in a nearby car . hey , check it out , that ride looks just like something out of " the jetsons , " but with wheels .

the authorities are unable to get any answers from delfos ; the scientist promptly fell into a coma . halstead and his agents set up security cameras and teams to monitor the entire city , then wait for something to happen . luckily mike ' s sister sees some of the kidnappers in time , thwarting their kidnapping her son , and immediately reports what happened . with holograms modeled on her description the investigators finally notice the odd pairs of men and women wandering around . a chase ensues , ending in the crash scene that left me a giggling fool . the wreckage yields a carrying case for dolls and inside are three people , shrunk to just inches in height !

taken back to the lab and reanimated , the little people are shocked to see halstead has glued a piece of sheet metal onto his face and insists on them calling him " breeti . "

what halstead and his men do is find their opponent ' s base of operations . during the struggle ( three on three ) a woman accidentally stabs herself with one of those strange needles , but the other two are taken prisoner . i ' ve been wondering what is in those needles that makes a human just disappear . maybe a desiccant that turns the target into nothing more than humidity ?

clues lead the commander and his men to cbm and nurmi . breaking into a research lab proves very illuminating and requires no small use of their " laser pistols " to fend off the freaks and guards who attack . the company has lots of political clout though , promising to deny or delay any course of action . halstead and a small group of loyal troops stage a surprise raid on the secret company base on delphus .

connie is already on delphus , after accepting nurmi ' s offer for a memorable vacation . the base is the center of operations for a sinister plan ! cbm wants to create a master race through fusion technology ! in the same way that the four - armed freaks were created they have been splicing people together . now they plan the ultimate marriage of man and woman , combining half of nurmi with half of connie . from the looks of it they are going to do this right down the center too . i have a major wake up call for the mad scientists . there are a couple places on the human body requiring a command decision and the groin is just the first that comes to mind .

the invading space force was captured upon arrival , but make a bid for freedom when the final experiment commences . mass confusion reigns supreme as the fighting spreads , leaving halstead and nurmi to face off . the latter knows he is beaten and rants like a megalomaniac before releasing several million gallons of cherry kool - aid to flood the facility . at first i thought it was supposed to be highly acidic , because of the way cbm employees react to partial immersion . later mike swims through the stuff though , so obviously it is a neutral solution ( more or less ) . all the other characters escape by sealing themselves inside capsules and floating to the surface . explosions and fireworks accompany the base ' s submergence , so i ' m guessing they had prodigious stores of pure sodium . usually when things flood they just , well , flood .

8 mins - a minute ago the aperture on her binoculars was a different shape .

25 mins - put him back in for a few more minutes ; he ' s not done yet .

64 mins - notice the propane hose , i mean lanyard , attached to his pistol .

mike : " i like the human race the way it is . i ' m a person , not a collection of hunks of meat . "

nurmi : " soon she will be ready for the great moment when she and i will become one person and my flesh will absorb hers . and we will be fused into one person ! "

nurmi : " remarkable , she ' s a perfect specimen . " crew member : " specimen ? she ' s one - hundred percent woman and she ' s also one - hundred percent for our commander . "

charles : " mike , i think i ' ve uncovered something ! " mike : " oh , what ? " charles : " girls ! " mike : " shame on you . . . " charles : " no , i ' m serious . look ! "

mike : " why you . . . you helium - headed idiot , you ! you and your stupid rules , regulations , and protocol ! "

halstead and his men just stumbled onto this secret lab . now they are fighting for their lives against technicians and freaks . please make sure to aim for the chest emblem mike or else the movie ' s insurance claims department is going to get really upset .

maybe i ' m just slow , but why is merging people into one body a good thing ? i didn ' t get it in the fly remake and i don ' t get it now .

you call this a bad movie ? this movie is excellent . in reality , it was directed by jess franco from a lost script by orson welles . anyone who reads video watchdog knows that means greatness . and a mad scientist merging his body with a woman ' s body does make sense if all he can think to do with his sexy female minions is run around ranting like a looney .

from the end of the review : " . . . corporations thumbing their noses at the federal government would be all the rage . " well , i guess the flying car must be just around the corner . dammit , the future is a dystopia after all .

i remember seeing this as a kid and i felt like washing my brain out with soap . they just showed this movie on turner classic movies 10 - 18 - 05 ( why its a classic is beyond me ) and my maturity and great age ( 50 ) laughed through the whole movie . ah . . . the furture ain ' t whaty it used to be .

hahaha . devo streakers from outer space . that ' s what i got out of this . the butterfly theater was pretty bizarre too .

just saw it on tv . had to watch it in stages . but what fun . love to see how serious the actors are . don ' t make them like this anymore ! !

pizza my heart is a 2005 film directed by andy wolk and starring shiri appleby , michael badalucco , and eyal podell .

the movie premiered july 24 , 2005 , on abc family .

it tells the story of a son and daughter of two rival pizzeria owners fall in love , much to the disapproval of both families .

it is a modern retelling of romeo and juliet set in modern-day verona , new jersey .

pizza my heart ( film )

pizza my heart ( film ) <EOT> if it were stylized as pizza , my heart one may assume it was a love letter to pizza , as in “pizza , you own my heart ! ”… but there is no comma or any other clue as to what pizza my heart means , exactly . is your heart made of pizza ? are you covering your heart in pizza ? is your heart on a journey to become new jersey’s greatest pizza - maker ?

there are no critic reviews yet for pizza my heart . keep checking rotten tomatoes for updates !

i initially selected pizza my heart on netflix because of the awful title . it was a late night and i was looking for something light and fun to watch before falling asleep . pizza my heart is a title that makes no sense at all .

sounds like a real pizza shit . i’ll kick my own ass for that one… .

we don ' t have enough data to suggest any movies based on pizza my heart . you can help by rating movies you ' ve seen .

while catching a film at camera 7 pruneyard , enjoy a terrific slice of pizza my heart . located in the theater lobby , featuring delicious hand - tossed pizza served up by one of the bay area ' s favorite places to grab a slice .

“my heart is in pieces right now…my soul feels like it’s ripping from my chest…this beautiful young man my son jackson has to endure a constant barrage of derogatory comments and ignorance like i’ve never witnessed , ” bezzant wrote .

‘but stacey says she can’t eat anything else . it breaks my heart to see her eating those damned nuggets .

the title of the movie caused a legal conflict . there was already a pizzeria in santa cruz , ca trademarked " pizza my heart " . the producers tried " pizza my heart , the movie " that was already trademarked as well . this same pizzeria delivered rental videos with their pizzas . apparently the conflict was resolved . see more »

‘mcdonald’s chicken nuggets are my favourite . i share 20 with my boyfriend with chips .

tmp’s classics of the corn series usually features sci - fi films , horrors and the occasional overblown melodrama . today , a completely different but equally kerneled film is joining the ranks : abc family’s 2005 rom - com pizza my heart .

heart attack deaths halve in eight years . . . due to fewer . . .

' you broke your girl ' s heart ' : car racing legend craig . . .

these new england film locations are the perfect excuse for a road trip . film buffs , stephen king fans , and sightseers alike will love this list !

in my defense it wasn’t my diet 7 - up it was my roommate’s but i’ll admit i enjoyed it . but that soda & lime thing i’ll keep in mind for next time .

despite the wacky title , pizza my heart tells a very familiar story . it’s a modernization of romeo & juliet , with the warring families being rivaled pizza - makers : the prestolanis , who claim that their family made the first pizza delivery ever in history , and the montebellos , who the prestolanis claim stole the delivery idea from them hundreds of years ago . in other words , someone was reading shakespeare , got hungry , ordered a pizza… and decided to meld their reading material and eating material into a screenplay .

it can also lead to an increased risk of heart attacks or strokes , particularly as we get older .

so the french guy comes to the feast and runs into gina . he asks her where the “best pizza in town is” and she takes him to her family’s pizza booth . he was supposed to go to the montebello’s pizza booth . oh no this is a true calamity .

the 1959 film ” it happened to jane” , starring doris day and jack lemmon was filmed in chester ct as were portions of the 1971 film “let’s scare jessica to death” .

this was filmed in what was once the heart of little italy at 128 mott street , known as the mietz building .

during a heart racing scene , lillian gish floats down the river on an ice floe . no special effects were used .

the families have to present their pizza to the investors and they’re both trying to sabotage each other .

alfred hitchcock used craftsbury , vermont , as the backdrop for his film the trouble with harry .

professor farmsworth : let me show you around . that ' s my lab table , and this is my work stool , and over there is my intergalactic spaceship , and here ' s where i keep assorted lengths of wire .

an abc family original about 2 feuding pizza parlors loosely based on romeo & juliet . pure . gold .

gina ditches plans with carlo to meet up in secret with joe at the feast , and oh my god they’re eating each other’s pizza . this is like third base for them right ?

my friends . . . and zoidberg : separating your friends from one individual .

the best loose adaptation of romeo and juliet about two competing pizza joints in jersey i ' ve ever seen .

romeo and juliet , but pizza . not nearly as much death as in the play . kind of disappointing .

this week , i picked a real festering heap of turd excuse for a film . it’s called pizza my heart , and it’s an abc family tv movie . it’s a modern take on romeo & juliet ( can’t get enough of those ) about two rival italian families who each claim to have the best pizza in town . it stars nobody important . the most famous name on here from what i can tell is dan hedaya , a . k . a carla’s ex - husband , nick tortelli , from cheers . he plays one of the dads .

what is a normal heart rate and what ' s the most effective way to measure it ? two experts reveal all you need . . .

so strange how these two ingredients combined would make one perfect pizza ! i wonder if these two families will notice the same thing and perhaps combine their pizzas to make the perfect pizza . hmmm . how is this all going to end ?

without further ado , let’s visit refn’s los angeles . here are 12 of the film locations featured in drive .

once you included that line of dialogue about a tomato , i knew i was skipping this one ! and if it means anything to the state of the world , to me the ‘pizza’ in the title means ‘piece of’…get it ? ‘piece of my heart’ ! ha ha ! sheesh…i wonder how many production dollars were spent by the filmmakers to come up with that .

can’t help you on photos of the st . george’s hotel , but it played an important role in my family’s history : my parents were married there on columbus day in 1957 .

— strong bad : . . . my style . ( gets slapped , cut ) . . . my types . ( gets slapped , cut ) . . . my stuff . ( gets slapped , cut ) . . . the cheat . ( gets slapped , cut )

i am feeling no sympathy for gina right now . oh man these two hot guys love me and i’m surrounded by pizza all the time , my life sucks . some people have real problems , gina , did you ever think of that ? some people can’t eat pizza anytime they want and have to settle for turkey bacon and peanut butter cups . did you ever think about that , gina ? some people can barely get one man to fall in love with them , let alone two who both know how to make delicious pizza . get out of my face , gina .

max : ( singing ) penny , penny , penny , you ' re my closest friend .

‘fruit and vegetables are integral to long - term health . without them , you greatly increase the chances of developing chronic conditions such as heart disease and cancer .

holy crap , i just got that the title was a play on words . now i hate this film even more .

another modern spin - off of romeo & juliet , this time about two families who each run rivaling pizza restaurants in new jersey .

so chef tommy is playing high stakes poker here trying to get joey to bet his family’s sacred secret pizza sauce recipe . some french guy at the table is like , what ? a pizza sauce ? are you kidding me ? do it ! bet the sauce recipe !

" oh , my god . gina prestolani , who ' s sauce have you been tasting ? "

‘i am at my wit’s end . i’m praying she can be helped before it’s too late . ’

one of the locations for the film meet joe black , starring brad pitt , was the aldrich mansion in warwick , ri .

the meryl streep film “evening” was filmed , in part , in newport , ri on the ledges owned by the cushing family .

white river junction , hartford is in connecticut . i believe a portion of lilian gish film was filmed in farmington as well .

i always thought eating eachother’s pizza was forth base ? and that she would have gotten that kinda thing out of her system at artschool .

i can rest easily now knowing that “pizza” is meant in place of “piece of . ” thank you for solving the mystery , todd !

the beauty pageant is not actually in redondo beach , but in ventura , at the crowne plaza ventura beach . the production actually put up real - life child beauty pageant contestants in the hotel and had them perform their actual acts on stage for the movie . frank and dwayne have a heart to heart on the ventura pier & promenade .

‘he is so passionate about the film and the franchise that he will be on set even on the days he is not needed .

the film location used for the apartments where driver ( gosling ) and irene ( mulligan ) live are in the los angeles park plaza hotel apartments , located across from macarthur park . it was once an old hotel and has often been used as film locations for movies .

the 1961 film “parrish” staring claudette colbert , troy donahue , and karl malden among others was filmed partly in east windsor , and poquonock ( windsor ) conn . it was a story about conn . shane grown tobacco and rival tobacco growers . my neighbor was a tobacco grower and the story goes that it was filmed on his farm . it was supposedly miss . colbert’s last film .

the racetrack in the valley is where shannon introduces driver to bernie for the first time . the film location is a former race track called

okay , get this . for the prestolanis , a good pizza is all about the cheese . with the montebellos , it’s all about the sauce .

okay let’s sum up what i drank . i had six vodka drinks . i am going to have a hangover tomorrow that’s how bad this movie is . pizza my heart , on the drunk scale , gets a 9 . 5 out of 10 . it would have been a 10 if someone’s name was mario . i had to get blackout drunk to watch this , which is a good thing because maybe now i won’t remember it . goodnight !

for the record , i will be saying this phrase all the time now for the rest of my life .

i read this while eating my reheated spaghetti from last night . i felt like i was in imax 3d .

" before you post a nasty facebook message saying i ' m politicizing my son ' s health problems , i want you to know : i am politicizing my son ' s health problems . because i have to . "

no one does a better job of reminding me why i love my city so much . thanks… . again !

from prime minister to pizza delivery : gary oldman is known for his dramatic chops , but the acclaimed actor proved he can deliver some unexpected comic flair — and a pizza , if needed . as he was about to have his portrait taken in a hotel dining room , oldman gamely offered to help carry equipment , toting a giant reflective disc . he pretended the wobbly reflector was a pizza as he mimicked delivering the make - believe pie to amused diners .

‘my last audition was when i was 12 , but now i have to put myself out there again and it’s not easy . i went to la for two weeks to see what it was like , and after my first audition i came out and nearly fainted . my legs were shaking and i needed to neck three glasses of water .

“there’s a scene in every one of my films that is the heart of the movie , and in drive it’s the elevator scene , ” says refn . “it was a way to tip the viewer to driver’s essential dilemma . you don’t know if it’s his fantasy or his reality , and he doesn’t quite know himself . ”

just called my friend who was doing his medical residency at new york eye & ear infirmary on 14th st back in the early 1970s . he said they definitely filmed brando’s hospital scene there and also the genco deathbed scene which can only be seen in the trilogy film version .

i love when you do these ! ! ! being from new york presently living out of state they make me soooo homesick but also are so inspiring ! i would love to go on a film location scavenger hunt , sadly though i live in anchorage alaska presently and not much to my knowledge has been filmed here . threw you twenty bucks for your film , wish the best of luck to you sir and don’t stop what you’re doing !

i’ve just added some more vodka to my drink so it’s filled up to the top again . this counts as drink three .

" oh my god , i ' m getting pulled over . everyone , just . . . pretend to be normal . "

okay , i may have cheated a little here . mystic pizza wasn’t filmed in mystic pizza . rather , the restaurant was the inspiration for the movie . the filming did , for the most part , take place in mystic , ct . the scenes inside the restaurant had to be filmed on a set because the real location was too small .

that’s the plan for now . i have a couple of contacts , that i got from my hollywood producer contacts , who are in rome , and apparently were location scouts for the film . so , i might be able to narrow it down further before i leave for sicily in june .

the pizza war scene was filmed in weather of 40 degrees fahrenheit , although it was supposed to be in the summer ; the extras and cast were freezing during the filming .

driver’s and irene’s apartments were built from scratch to function like practical locations . the film crew also placed a common hallway with doors opened into the actual apartment sets .

ugh , what a non - so - fabulous day . im late for track and field club , i still taste musty lemons on the roof of my mouth , its raining , i got expelled from school and arrested for public drunkenness and i got soy sauce on my school shirt !

my parents had their wedding reception at the hotel st . george in 1952 in the rooftop ballroom i have photos of that room and reception .

it’s being established now that the two rival families are the montebellos and the prestolanis . i have a feeling at least one of them will have the name mario . okay , here comes the good stuff . we got a montage of the two restaurants making pizza . this is borderline pornographic . it would be so much better if the worst song in the world wasn’t playing . it sounds like incubus , but if jack johnson was the lead singer of inbucus ? basically it’s crap , and it’s ruining my enjoyment of staring at pizza .

now we got this carlo character ( he works at the pizza joint ) who everyone wants gina to marry , but annette is obviously in love with him and gina could care less about him .

vermont generally appears on film as the perfect winter wonderland . however , as new englanders know , winter is not always so picturesque and the weather hardly cooperates with our wishes . therefore , scenes like this often get shot on a lot in hollywood . there hasn’t been much film bustle in vermont in recent years , but it was the scene of a few classics .

alfred hitchcock’s 1951 film strangers on a train was partially filmed at the danbury railway station . the station has since been turned into a museum . if you look closely at this still from the film , you can see a sign for the “danbury diner , ” which is still there to this day ! the family - owned restaurant is now called “the new holiday diner . ”

‘i remember my first scene with alan rickman and i was anxious because he is a slight “method” actor ; as soon as he is in his cloak , he walks and talks like snape — it is quite terrifying . but i really wanted to talk to him because robin hood was one of my favourite films .

now they’re all at some town feast called the feast of saint gennaro [ vince’s note : it’s called “the feast of san gennaro , ” and yes , it’s a real thing . jeez , these jews and their - a stinkin a - cultural ignorance . * bites hand * ] . this is where the 368 pizza boxes come in to play . obviously , the families set up their booths right across from each other , and of course both of them came up with the idea to stack up a bunch of pizza boxes and call it the “leaning tower of pizza” . each accuses the other of stealing the brilliant and original idea .

‘and to me , fame is not a positive thing . the idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality . it’s fantastic when you go to premieres and people cheer you , but it’s not real . and it’s totally not my approach to get my name on a club door just because i can . ’

one of the more violent scenes takes place in the motel where driver and blanche hide out after the pawn shop job goes south . refn chose the pink motel to be the film location because of its dated , eye - catching interiors . the pink motel is no stranger to hollywood . it has been the film locations for movies and tv series such as dexter , the oc , and the whole ten yards .

now back inside the prestolani restaurant a bunch of prestolani kids are asking why they must hate people they don’t even know . papa prestolani goes into a long spiel about how awful the montebellos are for stealing their idea for the pizza . that’s right , pizza was a prestolani creation , and the montebellos went and snatched it hundreds of years ago . i’m feeling comforted that these children are taught blind hatred early in life . it’s a family tradition !

kaeloo : the grass is green ! quack quack : quack ! mr . cat : das gras ist grün ! stumpy ( singing ) : tapas , parilla , grilla madre de pizza , en vida , comme cheetah gorilla !

i’m just so confused right now . i always thought gina works the diner all day , and now you’re telling me about this pizza shop . how do tommy and his six string on hock work their way into the story ?

another romantic comedy genre movie , pizza my heart ( 2005 ) , directed by andy wolk , is another movie that i would like to watch again . it is light ; it is funny ; it is all about love ( and all the cliches , but well – i still like it ; ) ) ; and it is all about hot guys ; ) . hmm , have i mentioned that the guy , joe montebello ( eyal podell ) is so hot ? maybe i haven’t . and have i told you that i like guys who cook ? ( it’s because of masterchef australia… ) and guess what ? eyal podell in this movie is a top chef as well ! lol

annie : my sister ' s husband lost his job a couple of months ago , so they . . . they burnt through all their savings , i don ' t have anything , i don ' t have anyone to go to . . .

quote 2 , paraphrased : “why 8 . 22 ? ” “because that’s when my life stops . ” “what time is it ? ” “10 . 22 . why ? ” “because that’s when my life starts again . ” “what time is it ? ” “12 . 01 . why ? ” “that’s when mine stops . ” ( gina and joe’s talking )

john brandt is right on - point ; i remember passing the hotel often as a child when my father , sister , and i were out and about in the neighborhood .

the godfather was filmed in 1971 , so it would have been penn central by then . remember , it was filmed there but didn’t necessarily take place there . they never mention in the film where the board room is .

‘my mum told me : “you have worked hard for it so get what you want , but beware , you will lose money on cars . ” and she was right . ’

super - corny dialogue , an incredibly silly battle of the pizzas and plenty of drawn - out , love - lorn gazes between gina and joe in slow motion bring the cheese to the film . my favorite snippet of dialogue is a tomato metaphor for joe’s attraction to gina : “it’s like all these years you’ve been looking for the perfect tomato , and all along the perfect tomato’s been growing right next door ! ”

i’m an american expat , teaching a film appreciation course in english , in warsaw , poland . i use the godfather trilogy extensively . i’m off to sicily shortly , and would like to get some help finding some shooting locations there .

joe is going to make dinner for them . i’m very glad this movie is following the rom - com first date rulebook to the t . joe is talking about how he wants to be a world - class chef , not just some guy who makes pizza . excuse me , joe , are you the worst human being imaginable or what ? what kind of idiot does not know that pizza is a blessing from god ? you get to create miracles everyday and now you want to throw that all away ?

because of an old family feud , the prestolanis and the montebellos have taken to extremes their fight over who truly has the best pizza . the situation is about to come to a head when joe prestolani meets gina montebello and they begin a secret romance .

what the hell , the prestolanis have a little boy working for them too , and he doesn’t even have a bicycle . he literally just runs away with the box of pizza . i can’t stop laughing at how stupid that is . i need more vodka .

no . joe folds like a good montebello . now the french guy is like , man is your sauce this good ? he’s losing his shit . he’s talking about turning his pizza place into a franchise . let’s start a franchise baby . money talks sweetheart .

oh no ! joe found out the french guy tried the wrong pizza , and now frenchy doesn’t know if he should franchise the prestolonis or the montebellos . i knew that smell i was smelling was trouble . whose sauce have you been tasting , gina prestolani ?

i finished the drink , and am now making the same thing again . this time with a lot more vodka . i also ate half of a reese’s peanut butter cup and took my birth control pill . i’m told that the best writing does not leave out any details , which is exactly what i am doing here for you . also my pajama shirt has five different yellow stains on it . i won’t explain why there are so many yellow stains on my shirt , because i am told that the best writers leave out some details to create what is known as mystery .

3 comments : first : believe peyton place producer / director wanted the film to be made in woodstock vermont , but the locals did not want such a movie to be made using woodstock in the background . second : could the mansion used a hospital in : cider house rules” be in the berkshires ? third : my brother and his friend were returning from trimming trees , with the saw in the back of a nash metropolitan . they were stopped in concord , mass . during the filming of “never too late” . they were asked if they wanted to be in a movie ? the said sure . the person asked them to keep looking straight ahead where they were filming . my brother saw the move but he and the car were not in the movie . my brother sid “he was a face on the cutting room floor” .

i really love your scoutingny site , thanks so much for all the work you’ve put into this . i’m going up to nyc in a couple of days and it should really come in handy for some nyc film site pilgrimages that i’ll be making .

i am really loving these over - the - top jersey accents . okay , papa prestolani is saying something about the montebellos making 300 pizza pies at some feast , so he says this year they’re making 368 . why 368 exactly ? is this some sort illuminati thing ?

, in fact , known each other their whole lives . well , joe is a great chef , and wants to open his own restaurant , but instead he has had to work at the family pizzeria , since his father vinnie had a heart attack several years ago ( i think ) , and now can ' t work so much .

when this film was shot , a friend of mine was doing his medical residency at new york eye and ear hospital and i thought i remembered him telling me the interior hospital room scene was shot there one night . the st george fell on hard times , i think it was an abandoned bar even when coppola shot there , it was a strip club for a while in the 1980s . you could still see the art deco etched glass even then that is visible in the scene in the film . i never heard of mitchel being referred to as mitchel air force base , always referred to it as mitchel field . the toll booth was supposed to be the old tolls at the loop parkway that used to exist to enter the meadowbrook . great research on this film .

seeing the abc fam logo slapped on the corner of the poster also attracted me to the film . the network is known for churning out incredibly fluffy little films with less - than - award - worthy performances , and i’m known for enjoying these awful movies .

good will hunting was filmed in several locations around boston . in the film , will hunting ( matt damon ) and sean maguire ( robin williams ) share a scene in the boston public garden . this area served as a memorial after williams’ passing in 2014 .

wes anderson was all over rhode island filming moonrise kingdom , so it’s difficult to pin down just one place . however , if you watch the film you may recognize a few locations , including fort wetherill state park , castle hill lighthouse , and point judith light .

because the film is a period piece , the godfather actually presents a fascinating record of what 1940s - era new york city locations still existed in the early - 1970s . sadly , many of them are now gone . what still remains ? let’s take a closer look .

awesome blog ! keep up the good work ! if anyone is looking for a way to get a college degree online , here is a link : urltoken . just throwing my 2 cents : ) best to all !

we know a man my husband knew from his work , who worked with my husband at his company , who grew up in mystic , ct . he showed us “the real mystic pizza” many years ago ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! i also know the young lady who played kat in that movie has the last name gish . while i attended unh the college hired many people to give free performances . one of those performances was given by lillian gish , who was 90 years “young” at that time . she was a very petite and very pretty , with a very sweet face , lady . kat most likely is one of her descendents . kat does not look anything like lillian , however !

tom has already won several parts in other films ( he is currently starring in a movie about golf and recently worked on a new planet of the apes film ) , but feels he has to work harder than ever as he almost has to start again in his career .

i found the actual gravestone used in the film many years ago at fasolino monuments nearby the cemetery . they either sold or donated it to a school in long island city . my wife and i saw it in a lobby near some elevators there , but i haven’t visited there in years . also , i haven’t read all the posts , but supposedly , the barber shop “moe greene” scene was shot at the st . regis hotel . hence the st . r on the window outside the shop .

- there ' s really only so many basic stories that can exist . the main character is trying to get somewhere ( the odyssey ) , get something ( the legend of the golden fleece ) , win someone ' s heart ( the iliad ) , get revenge ( cain and abel ) or save the world ( bill and ted ' s excellent adventure ) .

sydney : how does [ the black hole ] do that ? mindy : and how did it get there ? jet : and how does my hair look today ? ( beat ) oh . . . not the right time ?

charismatic clooney : the ever - suave actor / filmmaker cranked up the candour while promoting his directorial effort , “suburbicon . ” freshly bronzed from being at the venice international film festival for the film’s premiere , he was a consummate pro , making much time for the media and tackling a range of subjects , from the trump administration , to recently putting his dog down and what it’s like to take on diaper duty for his newborn twins with wife amal . clooney also charmed star - gazers on the red carpet , including a grandmother who grabbed his chin in a photograph that went viral .

tres jolie : superstar angelina jolie surprised everyone by arriving at the premiere of her cambodian genocide drama “first they killed my father” with all six of her children . it was her most public appearance since filing for divorce from brad pitt .

“lady bird” : there’s no shortage of movies about quirky , rebellious teens but writer - director greta gerwig crafts a vibrant , authentic take on the pangs of youth with “lady bird . ” saoirse ronan is electric and relatable as a sacramento teen who insists she be called lady bird and is fixated on escaping to new york for college . she’s bold and outlandish , but deeply insecure about money and social status , while her deftly drawn friends never feel like cardboard heroes or villains . but the heart of the film is lady bird’s intense relationship with her stalwart but devoted mother , played by a riveting laurie metcalf . rarely are mother - daughter dynamics seen with such complexity and painful honesty .

refn picked the valley , echo park and downtown l . a . as the three main film locations for drive . “because i didn’t have a lot of money to shoot the movie with i decided to come up with these three hubs , where i would shoot the film : one was in echo park , one was in the valley , and one was in downtown l . a , ” shares the director . “that’s how when you do these low budget movies , you always have to think economically . so i decided that those were the places where i would find the locations within . ”

what the f * ck is happening right now ? are these idiots for real ? the montebello’s delivery boy is literally a little boy on a bicycle . are there not labor laws that ban this ? what if he crashes and gets hurt ? or worse , ruins the pizza ? i am already on the prestolani’s side .

timothee chalamet : this relative newcomer was a breakout star of the fest for his triple - whammy of buzzworthy films . the 22 - year - old ran a victory lap with “call me by your name , ” the brooding love story between two men which captivated audiences earlier this year at the sundance film festival , then he grabbed praise as a selfish high schooler in “lady bird . ” meanwhile , he supported christian bale in the brutal western drama “hostiles . ” and his streak isn’t over . he’s also scored a role alongside selena gomez in the latest woody allen film , which began shooting this week .

that gina , just filling her mouth with any sauce she trips over . she’s up to her elbows in strange sauce . but i guess if i had a set of cheese like hers i’d make my way around venice a couple time too .

“i was just making a plea to my friends and family and asking them to spread the message of love and understanding for all , ” bezzant wrote . “the message isn’t just for jackson , it’s for all kids who are experience bullying . ”

in the movie , this peaceful , golden afternoon ( my favorite scene from drive ) is accompanied by the melodic , hypnotic tune a real hero . i could watch this scene over and over without getting tired of it . it’s quite magical .

scout : outstanding work for your godfather photos and historical research . your untiring efforts made to investigate the facts behind each scene are certainly appreciated , especially those associated with sonny’s demise at the tolls booths . viewing each photo , combined with your subtitles , was similar to being taken back into the original film .

very enjoyable site on one of my all - time favorite films . one error in a scene description – the boardroom scene would have been the new york central railroad – the penn central , which included the new york central , was created in 1968 .

one of the most graphic scenes of the movie takes place at nino’s pizzeria where nino ( ron perlman ) uses as his office . we’re first introduced to nino’s pizzeria when shannon comes to ask bernie rose ( albert brooks ) to invest in driver for car racing . the real life restaurant standing in for nino’s pizzeria is vincenzo’s pizza on balboa boulevard .

man , i want a feud so bad . also , another drink . i chugged this bad boy down . i think for my stomach’s sake i should stick to vodka . i’m pouring yet another vodka and diet 7 - up . sorry i’m so boring .

‘i bought a lot of rubbish things that kids buy : skateboards and clothes and typical teenage stuff , ’ he says . ‘and , as soon as i could , i wasted a lot of money on cars — bmws mostly — for myself and my family .

as always , fantastic scout ! all the more so as this has been my favorite movie since i was about 17 . perhaps the part 2 nyc locations as a follow up ? and once the la and italy posts are up , please let us know !

welcome to “rum and rom - coms” . basically what this is , is i watch a romantic comedy and get drunk while doing so . at the end , i give the film a rating according to how drunk i had to get in order to finish watching it . the higher the number , the worse the movie is .

two italian families own competitive pizza restaurants and have had an ongoing family feud since long ago in the ' old country ' . the son and daughter of each opposing family fall in love , but not without strong disapproval of their parents . romeo and juliet with a happy ending . it takes place in modern day verona , new jersey . written by anonymous

allison , my biggest beef here is the “vodka and diet 7 - up” – just go with vodka soda and keep a squeeze bottle of lime juice in the fridge , then you won’t have to say things like , “i drink vodka and diet 7 - up” .

‘my parents did what they could , but when money is thrust upon you so are a load of other things : tax , vat , mortgages — things a 16 - year - old really doesn’t know anything about . i got myself into a bit of trouble .

‘that night was terrifying , ’ he says . ‘i didn’t enjoy one minute of it . winning was the biggest surprise of all , and although it was a huge honour , my initial thought was one of terror that i would have to make an acceptance speech .

in 2013 , “the judge” staring , robert duvall and robert downey jr . was filmed in shelburne falls ma . two years later , “labor day” staring josh brolin and kate winslet was fimed in 2012 . in my opinion one of the best little towns in massachusetts !

your forgot camden me : payton place was shot in camden maine and many residents were hired as extras . we were children at the time . we were part of the crowd . my brother had an old car that he drove in the parade . my neighbor’s daughter played a part as selena . she had to roll down a step hill as a stand in and ended up with quite a case of poison ivy . in the hallmark channel movies there is a shot of downtown camden that is used over and over in different movies .

massachusetts is booming with film activity — it’s no wonder the boston / cambridge area is sometimes referred to as “hollywood east . ” a lengthy list of films have used this state as a location . just to give you an idea : flowers in the attic ( 1987 ) , who’s afraid of virginia woolf ( 1996 ) , the fighter ( 2010 ) , ted ( 2012 ) , captain phillips ( 2013 ) , the heat ( 2013 ) , the judge ( 2014 ) , black mass ( 2015 ) , spotlight ( 2015 ) , ghostbusters ( 2016 ) — and that’s just scratching the surface . making a final selection was tough , but these film locations won’t disappoint .

' hi . i ' m linda o ' keefe . . . 45 years ago today , i disappeared and my killer was never found ' : police tweet as the 11 - year - old girl who was murdered in 1973 in a bid to publicize the cold case

in addition to the understated , top - notch acting caliber of its two main stars ryan gosling and carey mulligan , drive has another winning combination - its minimal but effective script , its pulsating eurovision soundtrack of synth - based melodies , and its haunting film locations … showcasing the gritty , real - life neighborhoods of los angeles rarely mentioned in guide books .

when hitchcock got to craftsbury to film the trouble with harry , he found that the maple leaves had already begun to turn brown and fall . the art department had to have the leaves painted so that the leaves would not be past peak . the little boy in the first scene and throughout the movie is none other than jerry mathers aka beaver cleaver .

the barbershop has a logo on the glass that appears to be that of the st regis hotel , so that would be my guess . and is that is right , then the scenes of clemenza climbing the stairs and shooting stracci look like they were also filmed in the st regis .

by the time the godfather was filmed , all us churches would have made the change in the orientation of the altar , so the way it is set for the film was probably a special staging to reflect the way it would have looked in the 1940s . the baptismal font was probably still separate in the 1970s , but that tradition is no longer prevalent .

connecticut , with its proximity to new york city , is second only to massachusetts when it comes to film activity . many well - known films have hit its streets , among them : mr . deeds ( 2002 ) , jacknife ( 1989 ) , the stepford wives ( 1975 ) , and indiana jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull ( 2008 ) .

films set in new hampshire are an eclectic mix , most of which involve adam sandler . but films that actually use new hampshire as a location ? well , there aren’t too many . however , if you live here ( or if you’ve taken a film class at keene state college ) , you won’t fail to hear about the state’s several claims to fame .

time for more vodka . i’m sick of diet 7 - up so i’m mixing my vodka with club soda . i’m drunk enough to the point where vodka does not taste like vodka , so really i’m just drinking club soda that happens to have vodka in it . does that make sense ?

i like how the italian family names in romeo & juliet weren’t italian enough so they changed them . can’t wait for more of this , hopefully i’ll be off my no - alcohol - diet for the next one…and hopefully i’ll read it at night so i don’t look like a sad drunk .

my first communion party in 1964 was at luigi’s – that s what it was called - restaurant in white plains road . i remember it so clearly cause it was a special occasion restaurant for our family . i remember seeing it in the movie when it first came out . loved that place !
