You Can Tell by the Way I Fold My Slice

How Deep Is Your Love ... for Pizza? Enough to cram two slices into your face at once? [From the website myatari.] I was goofin' around on the Web yesterday and found this image of Tony Manero (John Travolta) from Saturday Night Fever eating pizza. Employing a novel approach to downing two slices at once, Mr. Manero has folded the pieces around each other. Filmed in Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst, Saturday Night Fever's main character would have grown up around plenty of good pizza. Unfortunately, there are only a handful of worthwhile pizzerias still operating in those neighborhoods. L&B...

Rock 'N' Roll Pie School

No Pizza for You, Joey: Joey Ramone, whose birthday was yesterday, in a video capture from the movie Rock 'N' Roll High School.

Elfin Goodness

Will Ferrell makes me cry. I just saw Elf last night, and the guy's antics had me laughing to the point of tears. Ferrell plays Buddy, a human raised by elves. When Buddy is confronted with his true identity, he's off to New York City, where his father lives. Before leaving the North Pole, he asks Santa (Ed Asner), "What's New York like?"

'Crimson Gold'

Pizza delievery in Tehran: I would have thought it unlikely. Heck, I didn't even know Iran had pizza. A trip to the movie Crimson Gold might do me some good then. A.O. Scott writes in the New York Times: Mr. Kiarostami, the lion of contemporary Iranian art cinema, and Mr. Panahi, who has established himself with "The White Balloon" and "The Circle" as one of Iran's leading urban filmmakers, set out to explain what drove the robber, a pizza deliveryman and a veteran of the Iran-Iraq war, to his desperate, self-destructive act of violence. The answer is not altogether surprising,...
