Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by M.10rda - November 03, 2026, 08:40:42 AMTHE TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MONSTERS ARE DUE ON MAPLE STREET (1960):
One of the most (justly) famous episodes of the venerable TV series portrays an outbreak of violent paranoia in a small suburban cul-de-sac. Off-brAndy Griffith Claude Akins plays the marginal voice of reason, husky Jack Weston (who looks alarmingly like Harvey Weinstein) is the neighbor most eager to pour gas on the fire, and Barry Atwater (best remembered as the title character in THE NIGHT STALKER) is one of the chief suspects in vague unspecified funny business. Rod Serling personally scripted all 23 minutes, which accomplish almost as much as Arthur Miller's (excellent) play THE CRUCIBLE accomplished in 700% that running time. THE MONSTERS ADOMS almost certainly inspired Stephen King's The Mist and probably also Romero's original DEAD trilogy.
I watched this several times w/ classes last week and it held up. If I have one small criticism, it's that I don't think the brief final scene on a nearby hilltop is strictly necessary - smart viewers can infer this scene on their own. Then again, part of Serling's formula for success is that he wasn't writing just for smart viewers but for the cheap seats all the way in the back of his viewing audience as well.
After watching this, I'd ask students "Who do you think those two guys were at the end?"
Students would respond: "Aliens!"
I would furrow my brow and say "Oh... I thought they were Vladimir Putin and Elon Musk!"
4/5 I'd venture that THE MONSTERS... plays better today than it has at any time since the early 60s.

Last post by Rev. Powell - November 02, 2026, 12:49:31 PMMade a strawberry pie yesterday. Unfortunately there's something wrong with the picture I took and it won't upload. I even made a decent lattice (crusts are by far the hardest part of baking for me.)
