fav varieties?

I'm a classic pepperoni, mushroom + green peppers guy, but also dig a hawaiian ham+ pineapple as well. (pretty much the only 'sweet and savoury' combo of any food that I can tolerate tbh... I cannot stand sultanas in curries. actually makes me retch. caramelised onion is another instant no-no)

love chicken but not generally into chicken on pizza. not sure why, just seems wrong. not a fan of anchovies either really, too salty

cool. in england (old england?) 'pie' exclusively means like what's in that photo. filled pastries

this is anecdotal but I've heard in Italy they don't really do 'round' pizzas, only big rectangular ones cut into slices? will try and verify that next time I see my italian mate

"She" (1965)
At the end of World War I, three British adventurers embark on a perilous journey across the desert to find a fabled lost city, ruled by a supposedly immortal queen known as "She Who Must Be Obeyed."
Silly costume drama/fantasy stuff with a few familiar faces like Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, and Ursula Andress. It was OK but nothing I'd ever sit thru again.

I didn't hate it. The final fight should've gone longer. Leaving it kind of ambiguous with 11 was a bad idea.

Should be dead. But I suppose they'll want a reunion down the line.

Not a perfect season. Holly was a great addition as a main character.

Quote from: zombie no.one on March 31, 2026, 12:47:51 PMwhat do you guys mean by 'pie' here?

in england this is a pie

Pizza.

We have that kind of pie here too. I've never eaten it, though.

okay so if someone said "let's go for a pie" you'd assume they meant let's go for a pizza?
Yes. I would. But I'm in the US northeast. I mean, I can't speak for the New England states part of the northeast, but in the NY/NJ/PA area that's how we'd take it to mean.

Quote from: lester1/2jr on March 31, 2026, 03:50:41 PMSome of the Italians here call marinara sauce "gravy".
Depends on how it's prepared. All gravy is sauce, but not all sauce is gravy.

I remember TTOTT from my childhood and enjoyed it quite a bit. More anyway than

NIGHT GAMES (1966):
My second Mai Zetterling directorial effort. Plenty of style. I couldn't get into it at all. Heavy Fellini and Warhol influence, or so it seems. Wacky Happenings abound in a mansion unstuck in time, which looks great now that I type it, but I just couldn't be arsed w/ this. If I didn't know this was the product of a female writer/director, I would've guessed this was made by a man who hates women and specifically hated his mother. It ends like Tarkovski's THE SACRIFICE if Tarkovski's THE SACRIFICE was a wacky comedy.  :bluesad:     1.5/5

If I was in the Northeast and/or among people of Italian descent I would. Anywhere else, I'd think they were very strange individuals.

thanks, I'll bear that in mind for when I hit the American leg of my world pizza tour.
