Have you heard? Spike Lee and Robert Deniro have teamed up to develop a series set in 1980’s East Village. Reuters reported that “Alphaville” will chronicle the “bad old days” of the neighborhood.

I refused to see Rent because it looked really goofy, but I do admire Lee and Deniro, so I might have to catch this one.

Will they hang out at The Holiday Cocktail Lounge? Will Mr. Purple make an appearance? Will it star Matt Dillon? Will the main characters shoot pool at Blue and Gold? Will they drink at Downtown Beirut? Play trivia at St. Marks Bar and Grill? Dance at the Pyramid? Will they stay out all night and have breakfast at Kiev? Does any of this make sense to anyone other than my 1980’s East Village friends?

Will “Forever Young” be the theme song? (Get it? Alphaville?)
