Two very sad losses.
One of my heroes died yesterday – how long have I wanted a jacket from the Prisoner? How long has the remake been mooted?
Ian McKellen who I will be seeing in the theatre in a couple of month’s time has recently been filming the remake of the genre-creating series.
Peter Falk according to The Times (Online that is. Would not waste my hard-earned on that rag!) described Patrick McGoohan as "the most underrated, under-appreciated talent on the face of the globe”. Who am I to argue?
And then Khan himself. Of Star Trek’s greatest moment. A movie with the greatest death scene of all time. The villain who caused Spock’s death. Ricardo Montalban - the slightly sinister Mr Fantasy Isalnd himself - added such depth to one of the greatest baddies in movie history. Shakespearean quotes were abound (as usual for the genre) but it seems both appropriate and inappropriate to quote them again here.
Lustful performances both with good enough messages for life.
Look out for the plane and enjoy your fantasies
Be Seeing You Gentlemen.
