cool, but what does it have to do with a candy bar?

Nothing - that's the beauty of it. I much prefer it when ads do more than 'this is our product, buy it now!'.

Some of the most memorable commercials appear to have little or nothing to do with what they're selling. Doesn't stop them from being highly effective...

Thanks, I really enjoyed that. I always thought she never got enough appreciation. I wore out my Blue Angel cassette tape hitting rewind back in the 80's.

The phone conversation scene from Dr. Strangelove, I just can't stop laughing at this movie.

The great Bill Irwin (with Karen Ziemba) in an hysterical concert version of Sooner Or Later (by Sonheim, for the movie Dick Tracy). Great clip, really enjoyable to see someone doing this song, which might otherwise vanish.

indeed.

i have been reading him since i was about 12 (1974)
he's pretty much been a jerk his whole life, but he writes circles around most humans.
after all the years of litigation he has no tolerance for petty slights, because he knows they grow into damaging infections.
one can't really blame him. after the bait and switch from City on the edge of forever, i was surprised he ever wrote for tv again. the world needs its pricks.

My first memories of the guy was the whole Terminator fiasco. And i was a Terminator fan at the time, so yeah, combine that with his AWFUL appearance on the Dune miniseries DVD, and the row he had with Penney Arcade, and well, i guess my perception of the guy is a tad influenced.

My first memory of the guy was the link I pasted and how the school was abuzz the next day over that episode. The aliens looked schlocky even then but what an incredible show for the mid 60s. Dominic Frontiere's score set a nice mood.

Agreed. That the guy is a prick doesn't change the fact that he is one of the greatest writers of the last century.

I hear Ernest Hemingway raped schoolmarms, and John Steinbeck hates Christmas...and America.
