Sneak Peek of the Week of May 19th, 2013

19 May

May 19, 2013

review audience

You are going to give next week two thumbs up. Up what is up to you.

We’ll be doing some reviews at the old Late Night Movie House this week, as Allan Keyes looks (through a microscope) at the world’s smallest film and I look at some multimedia releases, including The Ryan Gosling/Bradley Cooper/Eva Mendes pointless snoozefest, The Place Beyond the Pines.

The Imponderable returns with an armor-clad Mayor urging his warriors constituents to go to battle against, um, what? And Saturday Comics looks back at a Batman and Superman at a point in their lives when they were not exactly at their best.

All this, some Star Trek hijinks, and more more more, this week at bmj2k.com. Ciao!

Picture Postcard: Katz’s Deli NYC

7 May

May 7, 2013

These pictures were taken right around Christmas 2012, hence the folks in the Santa suits.

This is, hands down, my favorite NY deli. It is as far from formal as you can get. You can serve yourself or get waiter service, and the walls are decorated with thousands of celebrities visiting the store. And the food? Can’t be beat.

It is well over 100 years old and it feels it. Not that it feels old, not at all. It feels historic. There is a story behind every picture on the wall, a story for every seat. The air is full of steam and legend.

Katz’s is famous for their World War Two motto “Send a salami to your boy in the army.” And in the front window, you can see old photos of boys in the army enjoying their Katz’s care packages.

If Katz’s seems familiar, than you must have seen When Harry Met Sally.
