Whats I"m Up To

2.05.2004

Finally found something I wanted to download and watch. A show I've been searching for for a while now. Called The Prisoner, its from 1968, and was probably ahead of its time, its 17 episodes long.

A man who resigns from a top secret position and is then abducted from his London home. He finds himself in The Village, where everything is bright and cheerful - the people, their clothes, the buildings, the flowers. But despite this rosey exterior, the village serves a sinister purpose. People are forcibly brought there in order to have their valuable knowledge protected or extracted. Village residents are assigned a number - the Prisoner is Number Six. Chief interrogator and administrator is Number Two. But who is Number One?

Its a pretty nifty show, very psycological, very stylish in presentation and design, can be very surreal at times. Its one of those shows that nobody saw, but is always parodyed and refferenced. You watch it and think, oh so thats where that came from. Reboot did an episode that copied the idea, Simpsons have used the a bad guy from it, and there are many others that escape me right now.

But its cool :-P

Also there's that Evangelion Live Action Movie thats being produced, still in preproduction, but the WETA Workshop, the people that made the props and effects for Lord of the Rings are allready hard at work, news is they have a script confirmed, and that just about all the names will be changed, but that was expected. Its being made in conjunction with ADV and Gainax, and the concept art looks very promising and fantastic. here's a link http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/butchsvideostop/Eva%20LIVE.htm this site has tons of pictures and information on it.

Dah time for Programming, I'm off

Be Seeing You.
