It’s another beautiful day in The Village.

The Walking Dead : The Ones who live
The Ones who live has immediately gone up as one of my favourite series in The Walking Dead universe. Top spot of course is Negan's introduction. Holy Christ that was intense. But I gotta say that after finishing the six-episode series of this Rick and Michone spin-off, it has catapulted up to near the top. And it was a single moment that solidified it for me. Now I always enjoyed watching Rick grow increasingly capable and deadly as the series moved forward. I was lucky to start […]https://davidpeach.me/2025/08/09/the-walking-dead-the-ones-who-live/

📺 Enjoyed this documentary about The Prisoner and Portmeirion, the Italianate town on the Welsh coast where the cult 1960s #tv series was filmed, as sinister as it is beautiful… #bbc #theprisoner #prisoner #patrickmcgoohan #portmeirion #wales

Exploring the couple Patrick McGoohan films on Criterion, and found All Night Long. Othello, but in the 60s London Jazz scene.
It includes performances by actual jazz greats, like Charles Mingus, Dave Brubeck, Tubby Hayes, and Johnny Dankworth.
Well worth a watch.
I swear the thunder sound effect is the same as the Prisoner.

Watching the first of #PatrickMcGoohan ‘s guest appearances on #Columbo at @Illuminatus ‘s recommendation.
Of course being a guest star usually means murderer.
By Dawn’s Early Light, military academy commandant doesn’t want the academy to go co-ed. Conveniently, the founder dies in a cannon misfire during the Founder’s Day ceremony.
I’m still amazed Columbo had movie length episodes and was on for so long. They don’t make them like that anymore.

I found that #DangerMan / #SecretAgentMan is on Prime (as is #ThePrisoner and #TheSaint ). I love the Prisoner, but I’d never seen #PatrickMcGoohan in Danger Man before.
It’s a very fast paced show. At ~23 minutes, they cram in a plot that really deserves a 50 minute episode (like the Saint), so there’s no wasted moments. Even the dialog is rapid fire.
I appreciate McGoohan’s skill at taking on different personas and accents.
I can see why they wanted him for #JamesBond .

I need to rewatch The Prisoner. That was such a bloody great show.

OOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooh!!!!!

Brand – Von Henrik Ibsen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjcbe5KTFlw
Brand ist ein Stück des norwegischen Dramatikers Henrik Ibsen. Es handelt sich um eine Tragödie in Versform, die 1865 geschrieben und am 24. März 1867 in Stockholm, Schweden, uraufgeführt wurde. Brand ist ein Priester, der die Konsequenzen seiner Entscheidungen akzeptiert und fest entschlossen ist, das „Richtige“ zu tun. Er glaubt in erster Linie an den Willen des Menschen und lebt nach der Devise „alles oder nichts“. Kompromisse zu schließen ist daher schwierig oder fragwürdig. Brands Überzeugungen machen ihn einsam, denn die Menschen in seiner Umgebung können oder wollen seinem Beispiel nicht folgen, wenn er auf die Probe gestellt wird. Er ist ein junger Idealist, dessen Hauptziel es ist, die Welt oder zumindest die Seelen der Menschen zu retten, aber sein Urteil über andere ist hart und ungerecht.

Very sorry to hear that Rachel Herbert passed away on 7th March 2025, at the age of 90. She gave a most memorable performance as Number 58 in the 'Free For All' episode of The Prisoner. "Tick... Tick!"

♟️The Cooler (1974) was a spy novel written by George Markstein, co-creator of 1960s surreal espionage series The Prisoner. It’s based on the real-life Inverlair Lodge, a ‘retirement home for spies’, which also inspired The Prisoner. It was long out of print but is now available again, with a striking cover - https://plumeriapics.co.uk/shop/ols/products/the-cooler-pbk

CW: just a bit of fun assassination movie review
Watched "The Hitman's Bodyguard" (2017) on Sunday and "The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard " (2021) on Monday.
The 1st had a European Dictator (a "Belarussian" played by Gary Oldman) on trial (in ... Amsterdam ...) who was charged with various offences (moneylaundering, maybecheatingatgolf, massmurder).
The 2nd had a Greek crimeboss (played by Robert Rodriguez) carrying out a plan to cut a main European data cable.
So, no doubt very inspiring for some ...
Anyway, I enjoyed the almost 1950's madcap comedy whipsnap sharp dialogue but with cusses; Ryan does his thing, Samuel L does his better thing and Salma basically plays her DuskTillDawn role, Santánico Pandemonium, but times a thousand.
The series is like Bruce Willis' DieHard movies (infrastructure weaknesses) and a parody of the Tom Cruise MissionImpossible films (ridiculous ass-pulls but revelling in the ridiculousness of the ass-pulls even moreso than MI does).
Salma's "Sonia Kincaid" reminds me of the unreconstructed & post-reconstructed personality of Angelina DiGriz from the StainlessSteelRat book series (we never find out Angelina's real name but she takes Jim's surname on marriage).
Angelina is a megalonaniac psychopath with a murderous version of a Nihilistic personal philosophy). Psychopathy was a big thing in the 1950's post-WorldWarTwo era with the Nature vs Nurture debate being on the minds of intellectuals in the West.
Sonia is a conwoman (so like Jim & Angelina) but opposed to capitalists and crimebosses (so she's unlike Angelina but more like Jim in that respect (Jim likes scams and bank robberies).
She is quick to violence when others she cares about are in danger (or threatened). She bears grudges.
(Salma, of course, acts/works well with Robert Rodriguez.)Samuel L's "Darius Kincaid" reminded me of his role in "51st State" (the pharmaceutical genius Elmo McElroy). Despite having a surprising personal reason for "choosing" their lives (Elmo as chemist, Darius as a hitman), his characters drive the stories providing forward movement (and action) where exposition for other characters's emotional lives would stop the plot (Darius turns out to be the one responsible for most of the turmoil in the characters's lives).
Ryan's "Michael Bryce" is essentially a good man trying his hardest to be excellent in his job as a certificated licensed bodyguard. He then hits this patch (the movies) where he is constantly frustrated by his own desire and incompetence to achieve that recognition but also will push respectability (in others's eyes) away to maintain his ethical code. Michael is a combination of John Cusack's Martin Blank from Grosse Pointe Blank (for which we have to thank Lee Marvin in Point Blank (but not Mel Gibson in Payback)) and John Cleese's Basil Fawlty from FartyOwls.
There's a sequence in the 1st film where Michael & Darius are in a stolen car and Darius claims he needs to pee - it's at about 45mins in and is four minutes of low-action high-comedy with a tad of "of course that had to happen now".
I got a lot out of these films, but there was also something else ... I'll be seeing you.
