I don’t know why anybody wouldn’t fire Kurtzman, but I’d prefer he was left
in place on an already ruined franchise, rather than set free to damage
other stuff.

The Twilight Zone S5E32 'Mr. Garrity and the Graves' - DVR
The man who tries to con the people of Happiness, Ariz., is in for a big
shock. (Comcast)
Mr. Garrity comes into town of Happiness, Arizona offering to resurrect
the dead and to reunite the town-folk with their departed loved ones out
of the goodness of his heart. Do the town-folk want these miracles? (IMDb)

Trivia:
This is based on a supposed true story that happened in Alta, UT in
1873. It was initially told on Miracle at Boot Hill (1961).
This episode takes place in Happiness, Arizona in 1890.
Sign on the edge of town: "Happiness, Arizona This placque commemorates
the 128 people killed during the course of it's turbulent beginnings."

Quotes:
[opening narration]
Narrator: Introducing Mr. Jared Garrity, a gentleman of commerce, who in
the latter half of the nineteenth century plied his trade in the wild
and wooly hinterlands of the American West. And Mr. Garrity, if one can
believe him, is a resurrecter of the dead - which, on the face of it,
certainly sounds like the bull is off the nickel. But to the scoffers
amongst you, and you ladies and gentlemen from Missouri, don't laugh
this one off entirely, at least until you've seen a sample of Mr.
Garrity's wares, and an example of his services. The place is Happiness, Arizona, the time around 1890, and you and I have just entered a saloon
where the bar whiskey is brewed, bottled and delivered - from The
Twilight Zone.

[last lines]
Jared Garrity: [addressing the cemetery before leaving] Real sorry friends. I'm real sorry that I actually couldn't perform what I lay
claim to, so... rest in peace. All of you.
[Garrity leaves with his dog and accomplice. The dead begin rising
from their graves]
First Resurrected Man: Man don't do himself justice. The actor that
played you wasn't worth a darn, but that there Garrity sure can do a job
o' resurrectin'.
John Jensen: I can't wait to get back into town. I've got a lotta
drinkin' to catch up with.
Lightning Peterson: There's a yellow skunk of a sheriff I aim to
settle a score with too.
Zelda Gooberman: And there's a little pipsqueak of a sod just
waitin' to get his arm broke. And I'm just the gal that can do it, or my
name ain't Zelda Gooberman.

[closing narration]
Narrator: Exit Mr. Garrity, a would-be charlatan, a make-believe con man
and a sad misjudger of his own talents. Respectfully submitted from an
empty cemetery on a dark hillside that is one of the slopes leading to -
The Twilight Zone.


The Twilight Zone S5E34 'Come Wander with Me' - DVR
A folk singer goes into the backwoods to find a song that will bring him commercial success. (Comcast)
Singer Floyd Burney searches the backwoods for new songs and finds Mary
Rachel and much more deep in the Twilight Zone. (IMDb)

Trivia
This was the final episode of The Twilight Zone (1959) to be filmed,
although two episodes filmed earlier were aired afterwards.
As a teenager, Liza Minnelli auditioned for the role of Mary Rachel
opposite Gary Crosby. Minnelli was so nervous that the producer William
Froug commented: "She'll never make it." Minnelli lost out to Bonnie
Beecher. This episode was Ms. Beecher's acting debut.
Floyd Burney's guitar is a Gibson ES-295 electric arch-top.
The headstock of Floyd Burney's guitar has black tape across the label
covering the Gibson name brand.

Quotes
[opening narration]
Narrator: Mr. Floyd Burney, a gentleman songster in search of song, is
about to answer the age-old question of whether a man can be in two
places at the same time. As far as his folk song is concerned, we can
assure Mr. Burney he'll find everything he's looking for, although the
lyrics may not be all to his liking. But that's sometimes the case when
the words and music are recorded - in The Twilight Zone.
[Closing Narration]
Narrator: In retrospect, it may be said of Mr. Floyd Burney that he
achieved that final dream of the performer: eternal top-name billing.
Not on the fleeting billboards of the entertainment world, but forever
recorded among the folk songs of The Twilight Zone.


The Twilight Zone S5E35 'The Fear' - DVR
Two people in a remote cabin find signs of an alien. (Comcast)
Charlotte Scott and state trooper Robert Franklin seem to be stalked by
giants. (IMDb)

[opening narration]
Narrator: The major ingredient of any recipe for fear is the unknown.
And here are two characters about to partake of the meal: Miss Charlotte
Scott, a fashion editor, and Mr. Robert Franklin, a state trooper. And
the third member of the party: the unknown, that has just landed a few
hundred yards away. This person or thing is soon to be met. This is a
mountain cabin, but it is also a clearing in the shadows known as - The Twilight Zone.
[closing narration]
Narrator: Fear, of course, is extremely relative. It depends on who can
look down and who must look up. It depends on other vagaries like the
time, the mood, the darkness. But it's been said before with great
validity that the worst thing there is to fear is fear itself. Tonight's
tale of terror and tiny people on The Twilight Zone.


The Twilight Zone S5E36 'The Bewitchin' Pool' - DVR
Two children follow a make-believe friend into a happier world. (Comcast)
Two children escape their bickering parents through a portal in the
bottom of their swimming pool to a magical land watched over by a kind
old woman the children call Aunt T. (IMDb)

Trivia:
The "confrontation" sequence (where Jeb and Sport declare they don't
have to live with their bickering parents anymore and dive into the pool
for good), was actually written by Earl Hamner Jr. to be the climax of
the story; it was also used at the beginning because the final version
came up a few minutes short (Whit's "Howdy!" greeting as the kids emerge
from the "swimming hole" and the tracking shot of the children in Aunt
T's yard were repeated as well for the same reason). There was noise interference on the MGM back-lot during the pool sequences, and everyone
had to be called back for post-dubbing, but actress Mary Badham had
already flown back to Alabama and it was deemed too expensive to fly her
back to Los Angeles. June Foray was brought in to dub her lines. It was
a "sloppy" job, and Rod Serling knew it. It was held until the very end
of the season as the "final" show (where, it was figured, most people
wouldn't notice, having tuned out of the series).
This was essentially the series finale as the show was cancelled a short
time later in June 1964.
The Sharewood's swimming pool, their home in the background, and the
buildings peeking through the trees to the right were all permanent sets
of MGM's lot #2. The mansion was called Southern Mansion, the buildings
in the trees were part of Girls School, and the swimming pool was none
other than Esther's Pool, built specifically for occasional use in her
bathing beauty films.

[opening narration]
Narrator: A swimming pool not unlike any other pool. A structure built
of tile and cement and money, a backyard toy for the affluent, wet entertainment for the well-to-do. But to Jeb and Sport Sharewood, this
pool holds mysteries not dreamed of by the building contractor. Not
guaranteed in any sales brochure. For this pool has a secret exit that
leads to a never-never land, a place designed for junior citizens who
need a long voyage away from reality into the bottomless regions of The Twilight Zone.
[narration after opening credits]
Narrator: Introduction to a perfect setting: Colonial mansion, spacious grounds, heated swimming pool, all the luxuries money can buy.
Introduction to two children, brother and sister: Names Jeb and Sport,
healthy, happy, normal youngsters. Introduction to a mother: Gloria
Sharewood by name, glamorous by nature. Introduction to a father: Gil Sharewood, handsome, prosperous, the picture of success. The man who has achieved every man's ambition: Beautiful children, beautiful home,
beautiful wife. Idyllic? Obviously. But don't look too carefully, don't
peek behind the facade. The idyll may have feet of clay.
[closing narration]
Narrator: A brief epilogue for concerned parents: Of course, there isn't
any such place as the gingerbread house of Aunt T, and we grownups know
there's no door at the bottom of a swimming pool that leads to a secret
place. But who can say how real the fantasy world of lonely children can become? For Jeb and Sport Sharewood, the need for love turned fantasy
into reality. They found a secret place - in The Twilight Zone.


And that was the final episode of the series. There were five episodes
that for some reason didn't get recorded. The recording order is still
active, maybe they will get recorded for me to watch at some point.

But to finish this up, here is a link to a final thing I watched. A
1968 Library Congress "Conversation With Rod Serling" interview about
the state of television. Proving that nothing ever changes. ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFVJYFI93Bk (Very much worth watching.)

I finally caught up on sleeping yesterday after *really* sleeping in!
Then I mostly left the Lifetimes on in the background yesterday, and
alternated between relaxing and getting stuff done.

But I did get through a few things:

Night Court (2023) (Peacock) - "Wrath of Comic-Con" (ep. #2.6). Abby's
old childhood friend (Jessica St. Clair) shows up in town, and Olivia
and co. make Abby realize that she actually doesn't like her crazy, irresponsible old "friend"... But the funniest bits in this episode
involved Dan, who is once again being menaced by the vengeful Julianne
(Wendy Malick) - this eventually involves Dan dressing up as a Klingon
(Star Trek III callback!!) to hide from Juliane, and this has a couple
of actually good gags.

golf - Day 3 at the Valero Texas Open - This was being dominated by new
guy Akshay Bhatia, and so as a result wasn't very interesting. So I did
really watch it much.

soaps: DOOL - Fri's ep. This episode felt weird, and it really put me
off - like it had been filmed after a time-jump (the dialogue even
implies a time-jump in one place, but contracted that in another!).
But what really threw me off is that Tate has been recast!! - This
sucks, cause I actually quite liked Jamie Martin Mann in the role
(apparently, Mann left the show to go to college full-time - good for
him!). He has been replaced with Leo Howard as Tate. Now Howard has an accomplished acting resume, so that's not the problem. The issue is, 1)
Howard looks *nothing like* Mann, and 2) Howard is too old for the role!
He looks a decade older than Mann! (As I figured, Howard is 26 years old
now! too old for this role!!)
The other thing that made me think there was a time-jump in filming
is that it looked like Ashley Puzemis had suddenly put on a little weight.
Anyway, in this one, NuTate sneaks out to see Holly. Meanwhile,
Brady goes over to EJ's and Nicole's to demand the public apology for
Tate's wrongful arrest. Of course, NuTate and Holly get caught together,
and both Brady and Nicole forbid them from seeing each other (yeah -
like that will work!). Separately, Jada hires Sloan to finalize her
divorce from Everett/Bobby, but when they want Everett to sign the
divorce decree as "Bobby Stein", he refuses! Stephanie commiserates with
Chad (why Chad?!) about Everett, and Chad vows to help her with Everett.
Eric discovers that Sloan is behind on their rent (which explains why
Sloan is working so hard) - how long is it until Eric discovers Leo is blackmailing Sloan?!

Secret Life of a Sorority Girl (Lifetime) - This was pretty ridiculous.
I did love how the movie's blurb basically gave almost the entire plot
of the film away.
Of course, the film sports a "twist" that anyone could see from a
mile away...
This was an odd experience, as I'm about 100% sure that Jessica
Morris has pretty much *zero* background as a "dancer" (yeah, I'm sure
she does stuff like yoga, but that's not dancing!), so Morris playing a stripper was probably a little beyond her skill set! and came off a
little awkward. Luckily, we don't see her dancing, much.
Anyway, this takes some silly turns, like the bouncer at the strip
club not catching on that this was the same woman he kicked out earlier,
just because she's wearing a wig as a stripper.
I don't think I've ever seen Jessica Lynn Wallace, who plays the
kidnapped daughter/coed/sorority sister/stripper before. But she's
honestly not in this much.
Anyway, this was pretty part for the course for a Jessica Morris
Lifetime flick.

I just watched it a few weeks back. The movie is in desperate need of a commentary track.


I watched:


Rosemary's Baby (4K disc) 1968 horror movie directed by Roman Polanski
and starring Mia Farrow as a woman whose husband sales her out to a
religious cult looking for a woman to give birth to the antichrist.
This is another movie that could really use a commentary track.


The Omen (blu-ray) 1976 horror movie directed by Richard Donner and
starring Gregory Peck as the U.S. ambassador to the UK who secretly
adopts Rosemary's Baby without realizing it's the antichrist until it's
too late. This movie's score won Jerry Goldsmith a well deserved
academy award. The disc has three very good commentary tracks, that
I've never heard. I *almost* picked one to listen to on this viewing
but couldn't because it would have muted out the score.


Damien – Omen II (blu-ray) 1978 sequel which picks up with a now teenage antichrist realizing who and what he really is as everyone around him
has a series of fatal accidents. I remember frequently watching this on
TV when I was a kid and it always felt more TV than movie as a result.
It was a little weird seeing it in scope. I was also surprised to learn
that Jerry Goldsmith did the score on this one two. I sampled a little
of the commentary and learned that all three Omen movies were designed
as a trilogy from the start. I was very surprised to hear that.


Omen III: The Final Conflict (blu-ray) Next sequel in the Omen franchise
which finds a now adult Damien (Sam Neill) readying his plan for world domination but first he has to find and kill the new baby Jesus. This
is another that I mostly know from watching on TV so seeing it in full
scope was a little weird. That and wrapping my head around Jerry
Goldsmith did the score for this movie too. I know there is a 4th Omen
movie, but it wasn't included in the box set (it is included in a
different box set) and not available to stream for free. The box set
does include the remake which I had planned to watch, but then decided
to save for another day.


The Ninth Gate (blu-ray) 1999 horror movie directed by Roman Polanski
and starring Johnny Depp as a rare book dealer who is hired by Frank
Langella to track down and investigate three copies of a book that
Langella believes will allow him to summon the devil. Along the way as
Depp tacks down the owners of the books people keep dying in oddly
ritualistic ways. This is a criminally underrated movie with a pretty
good score too.

For sake the of the baby, they'll make it work. ;-)

Maybe they will try and make it a thrupple with the Devil being their
third who only visits on occasion.

This, and "The Exorcist", are two movies that I still haven't gotten
around to seeing...

That's a sad commentary on your life. It's like a friend of mine who I
just found out today didn't know anything about HITCH HIKERS GUIDE TO
THE GALAXY. Never saw any of the movies or read the books. Had no idea
what I was talking about when I made a joke about the Vogons.

They gave public notice!

The movie sucks. The tv series, with the same cast as the radio series,
was entertaining. I've never heard the radio series.

You could start one of the YouTube channels where millennials react to "old"
movies they've never seen before, like STAR WARS and TERMINATOR and PREDATOR.

I've been watching "Aliens" reaction videos. Although they are all
pretty much identical in the reactions.

Yeah, I saw a few of those and your right. There's really nothing new
in watching more after the first.
