Sometimes you're just in the mood for a mean spirited, cynical comedy.
Or if you're me, most of the time. All of the time.

Twilight Zone S04E06 'The Death Ship'
Leave it to a Jack Klugman episode to be one of the few bright spots in season four. It's why his TZ episodes collectively are better than Burgess Meredith's.
Each of the three novels I've written were suppsoed to be novellettes or novellas. But I missed.
Congrats, excited to be working with you on this one!
Twilight Zone S04E04 'He's Alive'
There isn't much in the fourth season to talk about.
This one being one of the exceptions. The twist is very obvious, probably was at the time, but that doesn't matter because the idea is strong and Dennis Hopper's performance is one of the best in the whole series.
It was enough that I might be able to replace a couple pairs of jeans that are starting to wear out in the crotch.
Which is where all my pants wear out first. And it kinda feels like something I should brag about.
And no small amount of credit for this remarkable turnaround goes to @awfulagent.bsky.social, who got this done.
Signed the contract last Friday. My second novel, 'The Asterist' is coming out in October from @diversionbooks.bsky.social
It's wild that this time last year I actually finished the first draft of this one. And here it is already striking out on its own.

It's really weird to me that someone who made such a subversive, experimental film like this went on to have such a convential, mainstream film career ever after. Where'd this guy go?
Twilight Zone S03E37 'The Changing of the Guard'
Great episode to end the third season, which is the best of all five.
Such a beautiful story, and my favorite Donald Pleasnce performance. I like it even more than Pumaman.
Twilight Zone S03E35 'I Sing the Body Electric'
Ray Bradbury working with Rod Serling should be a match made in heaven. But alas, no.
There are some lovely Bradbury touches in this story, his special kind of midwest magic, but overall it just doesn't work.
They should've done 'Zero Hour' instead.
This is the same poll that found Cornyn over Paxton by dounle digits as well, right? Not sure how reliable I'd say it is.
Twilight Zone S03E31 'The Trade-ins'
Might be the most underappreciated episode. Whenever people talk about the great ones, I never hear this one mentioned. It probably should be, though.
Just signed the contract so it's official: My novelette, "Bella's Heart' is gonig to appear in @analogsf.bsky.social
Details on when forthcoming. #booksky #speclit
I love it in a film or TV show when, in need of a piece of paper or stack of them in a scene, use what can clearly be seen by the way the type is arranged on the sheet, a page taken out of the shooting script.
Angel Eyes' note in The Good, The Bad, & the Ugly is a particular favorite.
Twilight Zone S03E26 'Little Girl Lost'
Good episode, but...
You're young child goes missing, leaving only her disembodied voice behind, and the first person you call is a physicist? Shit, I'm kind of an atheist and I still probably call a priest.
Tonight's movie.
RIP Tom Noonan.
A Charlie Kaufman penned film is a very singular thing. When it's one he directed as well, doubly so.
Twilight Zone S03E24 'To Serve Man'
Classic episode, with one of the best twists in the whole series.
Though it's reactionary libertarian theme is hard to get over sometimes.
Twilight Zone S03E21 'Kick the Can'
Not to take away from this episode, because it's not bad, but the version done for the film is better. The only segment from the movie that can be said about.
Tonight's movie.
I've only seen this once, a long time ago. Seems kind of forgotten now, though. Perhaps its too much a product of its time.
I'm pretty sure you don't actually have a point. You're just kind of flailing around, hoping something will hit the target.
You should probably go back to twitter if that's how you want to be.
Because THAT is even more stupid then thinking CBS is being honest in the whole thing. If Crockett wants to be on Colbert, or Kimmel, or the Daily show, or wherever, then she should get her Comms director to book it. She's not entitled to things Talarico's campaign likely worked weeks to set up.
Then what is your point? That Crockett is entitled to an appearance on the show too?
I did, and your whole premise is based on CBS being honest.
Which there is no reason to believe.
Yes, and CBS is well known for their total honesty and impartiality, so there is no reason to think that they are lying to cover themselves after Colbert called them out.
Twilight Zone S03E16 'Nothing in the Dark'
I've heard that this was one of Robert Redford's favorite of his early roles. And it's easy to believe because this one is a definite classic.
