“Twilight Zone: The Movie” (1983)

-a startling good anthology, especially among sci fi (horror tends to dominate that area)

-the first segment, featuring two passengers in a car trying to figure out tv theme songs, has a very French new wave feel to it. Just a casual, shooting the shit type atmosphere, and all the more unsettling for it.

-Dan Aykroyd is totally is his element here, referencing pop culture from the past while being a total weirdo. Highly endearing.

-He and director John Landis had a hand in glove collaboration, proved by his greatest performance, Winthrope III in “Trading Places”

-Nice unsaid touch with referencing the uber famous segment with Burgess Meredith and his broken glasses and then having the man himself narrate the segments. Pop Godard 80s

-the second segment (also by Landis) has possibly an even more jolting charge since it was first made. With bigotry more unabashedly public in the succeeding decades, seeing an unrepentant racist go through some of the worst ethnic suffering of the 20th century is shocking and satisfying at the same time.

-from “they will not replace us” to “oh fuck! Is that what happened to them? This shit sucks!!”

-most importantly, it’s just damn well directed and acted

-I really like how it’s totally random when said bigot time travels. Sometimes through a door, sometimes when falling

-it very much has a energy that a longer film would be hard pressed to sustain

-“I don’t care what you think, as long as I don’t have to hear it!”

-there is a definite chill to the bone when the bigot gets put in a train car with yellow star’ed Jews, on his way to the concentration camp, and we see his point of view looking outside the car as he goes to die

-so unnerving it might even cause a pause of consciousness in anti-semites & other Jew haters (or as they are known in the 2020’s pc terms; Columbia chumps & the “pro” Palestine bunch)

-the third segment is a breezy little short, that benefits mightily from following such a harrowing and exhausting previous entry

-Spielberg directs with his usual utter mastery of mis en scene, its emotions simple but its power strong

-there is definitely a lost boys feeling here expanded upon with “Hook”; as it is the swashbuckler elder turned dashing juvenile often steal the show from the dapper Scatman Crothers

+I also suspect the seed for “Cocoon” was born here

-there is nothing new in the notion that we grow old when we stop playing, stop trying new things, and yet Spielberg (possibly at his most id) makes it magical in details such as camera placement and shot length

-again proving, storytelling is not what it is about, but how it is about it

-the fourth segment just took my breath away

-it is utterly surreal and madcap. There is a verve that reminds me of the immortal “House”/Hause” 1977 even though there is no way director Joe Dante saw it

-perhaps he just wanted to make his big moment count. He has never played with our incubation thoughts so well before or since

-a school teacher comes across a wayward boy who has the power of god

-there is something truly unnerving about the scene where the teacher walks through the house, unaware at first of the horror bubbling up

+punctuated by the shot of the (true) sister zoned out with no mouth in front of the tv

-I love the detail of the “uncle” and “parents” just being a random group of unmet strangers the god child kidnapped along the way. What a notion; that could power a whole film by itself

-continuing the playful French theme; the teacher’s name is that of the real person teacher who influenced “Twilight” creator Rod Serling. Sacrebleu!

-the scene where the child and teacher follow each other, he has teleported them to a nowhere dimension, and it is two shots overlapping over each other in dissolves…just magnificent

-I had no idea famous animator Sally Cruikshank did original animation for this segment [where the girl gets trapped in a cartoon]. Like her short “Quasi at the Quackadero” (1975) it is delightful in how odd it is.

+in general, there is an awesome collection of cartoons in this segment (no surprise) from “Bimbo’s Initiation” to “The Great Piggy Bank Robbery”

-but of course there is no greater high than the animatronics Rob Bottin makes to teleport 2d creatures into our dimension. Absolutely bonkers

-there is a argument that maybe Joe Dante should done his version of Roger rabbit after seeing this part, even though I love the hell out of that film

-the fifth segment is pretty good, but almost anything would be a let down after that last bit, and it is somewhat here

-the main dealbreaker for me in this segment (where a paranoid man wonders if he sees a gremlin on the plane wing) is that main actor John Lithgow inspires zero sympathy from me, nor do I enjoy his suffering. So it’s in the mild zone for me

-everyone around him is in good form though; Donna Dixon is wonderful as the younger stewardess and I’m thrilled to see Charles Knapp (the amusing mortician from “Chinatown”) get some sweaty claustrophobic screen time

-the camera placement by director George Milker is first rate

-a WC Fields ventriloquist doll, eh? Why not

-the part where the man is out the window, his face frozen, the creature running towards him, with odd timed lighting, is awesome

+and also strangely prescient of early 2000s type monster attacks

-what a delight, to see short films from directors I admire, each playing different music of moods from their usual features

-the helicopter crash behind the scenes almost overshadows all talk about this motion picture, but it’s honestly just a astonishing film of incredible highs that I heartily recommend to all. Total blast
