There have been some good films from the 70's & 80's on tv this weekend , The Warriors was a real cult film from 1979 I have never tired of watching it
Satisfying The Bloodlust Of The Masses In Peacetime
I'm the kind of guy who can. In fact, I'll be out in the back garden doing exactly that very soon.
Sol Yurick used his experiences as a social worker in New York to write his first novel, which the film, The Warriors. was based on. Unfortunately, his subsequent novels failed to reach the same heights. The same happened to Herman Raucher, the author of Summer of '42. That semi-autobiographical novel was the best he had in him.
Richard Price has had more long-term success with Clockers and The Wanderers as well as film scripts like Sea of Love. His novel, Clockers, is utterly brilliant and far better than Spike Lee's film version.
I've never understood why Peter Blauner's Slow Motion Riot hasn't been made into a film. As New York crime novels go, it's one of the best.
I seem to remember New York having a big trouble with crime until a certain Mayor put a stop to it. The film wouldnāt have encourage you to take the train at night.

I was in New York in the early 90s, which is when a lot of the famous New York crime films were made, and it wasn't too bad then - I felt quite safe walking around, although you could see all the burnt out houses in Harlem. The worst that happened was when The World Trade Center was bombed, the first time, in 1993, as I was walking to it. I was pretty close.

Iāve been to New York a couple times of times,you either love it or hate it. I love it,you would never get bored in NY,I could easily live there. The city that never sleeps.

We could all easily live there, but we wouldn't be able to afford to live in the areas that we usually stay in when we visit for a few days.
Yes I'd love to live in Manhattan, but I doubt I would be able to afford the rent.

Not so sure about that. If I had a choice of Manhattan or Waikiki, Honolulu, then Iād be sipping Pina coladaās on the beach. Each to their own though.

Iāve read the novel but itās not great.
Youāre better off just watching the film.
You cannot reason a person out of something they were not reasoned into.
That takes me back to revising for my GCSE's in 1991 and having this lp on a cassette. A mixture of Mark Goodier's evening session, PWEI, Intastella and World Of Twist, money was tight in those days and it was a carefully considered purchase after reading the reviews in NME or Select
Used to listen to both the This Is The Hour.... and Cure For Sanity lp's a lot, still have both on vinyl
Do you live in NY ?. Or just fly out for the marathon?. Didnāt realise there were skate fans āover thereā. Good for you though. UTS
I am in NYC quite often, but am UK based and you can pay to get in the Marathon. I think something like 5% of participants are Brits - which includes some of the Blue Few. As I said, when Iāve done it there were more Saints than Skates and itās quite surreal to be running through Harlem exchanging insults with one of the fishy few!
