Wonderful movie recommendation. I came across it a few months ago
I have watched the linked interview many times. A great interview that put Serling’s erudition, principles, and creative genius on display. I had often wished Serling had been here during covid as he would have obliterated the approved narrative.
He was in March 2020. The second day of the lockdowns here in southern Cal. I was traveling south on the 405 freeway coming form Costa Mesa en-route to Mission Viejo.
My reality was shattered early in the route because everything was surreal with nary a soul on the road when usual late afternoon traffic would be the heaviest throughout the day, and often bumper to bumper.
As I approached the merging of the Interstate 5 freeway I looked over my left shoulder in amazement as three lanes of normally heavy merging traffic converging there was not a soul in sight.
I looked over into the passenger seat and there was Rod.
Riding shotgun he turned to me and whispered , : : welcome to my world stranger : :
I had a similar experience driving from Long Island to New Jersey through midtown Manhattan on a late Friday afternoon in June 2020. Normally this would be like driving into guaranteed gridlock - something anyone familiar with NYC traffic patterns would avoid at all cost. But the GPS traffic alerts showed clear sailing ahead which was indeed the case. And what I encountered was so eerie it really felt like I was in the middle of the Twilight Zone. Moving along 42 St like it was Sunday 5AM, and other than an occasional masked pedestrian out for a “health threatening” walk, the streets were bare to the bone.
Given all the shit we've been through and all the disappointments from people we thought were capable of independent thinking but turned out to be Mainstream submitters, it would be unreasonable to assume that Rod Serling wouldn't have gone along with the Covid Fascism like the vast majority of pundits, intellectuals, artists, celebrities, philosophers, et fucking cetera.
Just love a great movie. Beautiful photography and great dialogue in a thoughtful, funny, mysterious or uplifting film--just save my seat and pass the popcorn! Saturday nite indeed. Thanks for this, Celia.
I have Lewis. He loves "movie time." Places his paws on the laptop. I almost never watch movies, but old ones don't have the traumatic cuts/edits which actually jolt your brain between theta/delta…whatever it is. I heard a clip about it recently and it felt like "science" finally explained why I experience movies as trauma most of the time. It's because we all do. It's because the discontinuity send the mind searching for correct brain state.
Tom—thank you for the kind sentiment. I wish the same for you and for us all, if it is God's plan.
Lewis is a lucky boy. I'm a cat guy too. I have a female diluted tortie named Luna. We ran over her on the way home from an AA meeting on a rainy Saturday morning almost 4 years ago. She was a 2 week old feral fleabag kitten that was probably born under my old mobile home. She rescued me from abandonment due to an unwanted but much deserved. divorce. 2 years ago I rescued a 2 year old tuxedo boy who's name was Bootsie. She had a female caretaker. I shortened his name to Boots as I just couldn't bring myself to call him Bootsie. How Bootsie Collins put up with it his whole career, I as a man will never understand. If you find any humor in that then you prolly get me. Thank you for your time Ms Celia. I feel a lot less lonely today because of you. Blessings😍
A great selection, Miss Farber. I blasted this movie selection out a number of years ago to my email list. The movie is full of themes worth pondering!
I LOVE ROD SERLING..... I am fascinated by him and The Twilight Zone...can't believe he died at 50 yrs old..... thank you for this shout-out to him....doesn't get enough credit, IMO......
Smoking got it. Yes, sad. I just wrote a note above where I confess just recently having 'One Step Beyond' episodes discovered for my by the You-Tube "algorithm god."

[There] is never "proof" of anything that can be addressed scientifically. It is built into the methods of science that we can only disprove hypotheses with the certainty that can be said to be a "proof." I am not one to nag friends who smoke about their habit. In fact, one friend -- in whose life I am rather involved -- is extremely sick. I drag him hundreds of miles to and from doctors' appointments, clinics and hospitals. He still smokes. I am pretty sure that there is a good chance [notice, not a proof] that he would otherwise likely be in good shape instead of misery had he not smoked a couple packs a day all of his life. We all die, just not like what I am witnessing in my friend's case. Hopefully he can beat each new threat to his life for the time being.
If you smoke, Hesperado, please stop. As for what COVID is, its virological and epidemiological nature, I agree, there are a lot of questions. Apart from the those questions about the virus, the powerful have sure abused moment in which we are living to advance a many-faced tyranny.
Same here. Some years ago there was an assortment of guys, mostly retired military officers as it turned out, that met Saturday mornings at a local cigar store. Then, the anti-smoking crusaders pressured the mall in which the shop was located to expel the business. I must admit, this place was until then, an extremely pleasurable social experience.
I have no idea why tobacco was an essential ingredient. I do not think it is for me. I can pretty much engage in a pickup conversation in any café. But, you know, I suppose it imposes one level of self-selection and it provides a commonality of experience.
I can explain my experience no other way than Denise Minger's Sweet Spot theory.
I did keto for 10 years well above 70% fat. Had crazy performance endurance health improvements. Did one meal a day doing 20 to 22 hr fasts. Where I tripped up was eating organ meats and high fat sea foods. Horrific fall.
Learned from Garrett Smith (nutritiondetective.com or @nutridetect on twitter) that it was vitamin A, copper and B6 toxicity. Hard for liver to clear those toxins on carnivore or keto diets so had to go hard switch from keto on 1.5# beef/day to carbs on 1.5# beef per day. The carbs got me the fiber I needed to get the toxins out.
Garrett has a whole program to help. As toxins come out life gets better and better. Took me a couple months to grock that I had to leave the 27# of butter in my freezer untouched while I was eating apples, dates, prunes and oatmeal. Minger explains it with a beautiful theory.
Mercola has been keto for more or less the last 8 years. He started talking about metabolic adaptability in the last year or so. Mercola is who found Minger for me. Makes me glad I hooked up with Mercola in '95. He is one of the best medical aggregators out there.
So I plan to do carnivore again. Learning in meantime how. First - no organ meats. Go low vit A, copper, B6. Second - carbs well below 40grams per day. Third - OMAD with plenty long intermittent fasts. Fourth - do not stay long - go back on carbs with plenty dietary soluble fiber, activated charcoal and carbs with under 10% fat. Meanwhile keep the beef (taurine and zinc) coming.
Glad you found carnivore and so much improvements. Hope you find all this helpful so you do not feel painted into a corner as I did in Nov, 2022. Thank you and keep on.
I recently discovered 'One Step Beyond' episodes. They are very similar to Twilight Zone. Even though many episodes are difficult to swallow, John Newland -- the host -- manages to provide something with a moral of the story. Serling was good, particularly in 'Patterns', of developing the value of this piece as a morality play. Newland has brought a bit more of a Christian, particularly Catholic, theme to those morals. You may not like that, which is certainly your business. My main point is that art can be used effectively to advance important causes. Thanks. No monsters, no Twilight Zone mysteries, eh? You sound like my wife. She graciously watches those with me and I -- of course -- endure her preferences. I imagine you can imagine what those are.
Oh John, I hardly ever watch any movies, have barely seen any—very much not a movie/film person and almost can't tolerate seeing a movie in a theater. PTSD for me has made me very sensitive to loudness, for one thing.
Does that extend to music? That's my work-a-round.
It's not at all easy for me to pass on a good film and you could not find a stronger emotional temptation than Rod Seeking, I was probably too young when I became a huge fan, in Kindergarten.
But I can replay songs on the virtual radio station in my head while taking care of necessary things, and it's amazing what an artist can convey in 3 minutes or so.
I think perhaps the prune example is a song called What About Me?
John: I had the thought, having decided to go against all my habits and watch this Serling film, last night, that "Saturday Night Movie" might serve as a comfort to us, similar to our December Advent Calendar tradition. Just trying to create and stick to a few traditions and impose some kind of structure. We must "relax" our minds. I speak as somebody with post traumatic stress syndrome. For me, it means a lot of "disassociation." I think we need to do things I would maybe have considered not important before but now I think we NEED to allow our minds relief in whatever form. We can't monitor the murderers 24/7. Our souls will break.

Sometimes we need encouragement, examples, instruction, and motivation from others in order to be proactive and productive. The Serling interview contains all those components.
Sometimes we decide to grow up and face the real world man to man.
It wasn't a mystery to me when I opened this page as to how people justify these things I myself once advocated in my youthful folly.
It took me years to appreciate a lot of things my elder brother taught me, getting up with the sun is one, not wasting time attributing virtue to fiction is another.
If I had listened earlier, I might be doing my prep in a gated community outside Orlando too!

Hello, John. I do understand your frustration. It sounds like you and I do not have to verify for each other the nature of the evils nor the depths of these evils.
I have been trying to raise the alarms about a number of things that were coalescing into the 2020 Scamdemic. This is not the place to catalogue for you the hardships that I have endured, with zero monetary reward, by the way, if anyone should think that I am "knocking down" on this fight. There are plenty of people who are -- by the way.
So I have been working hard at both the theoretical and the practical-action side of this fight. I also am working hard to help my local community in the problems its members have and to help them develop their identity as a town. This has been a severe cost to me, so I an sensitive to the point that you raise -- quite rightly -- on how to best expend effort.
If you would indulge me, please, for just a moment more. I was tough with my readership at times. I can tell you, as a psychological matter, it is important to speak in other terms at times. I am a biologist, so I like all the jargon and gibberish about mRNA, epithelia, ionophores, antigenic sites and immunocompetence, blah, blah, blah. Most people [do] not. But they [should]. So, it becomes a question of how to embed the de-wormer in the peanut butter for your puppy.
Frankly, my wife and I need a break too. And the good thing about a movie like 'Patterns' is that it prepares the minds of your audience for better understanding the structures of manipulation that are bringing us to the problems that you -- by the Grace of God, perhaps -- have managed to intuit in a more direct way.
Thanks for caring, John, enough to disagree. On this one, I do see the value in Miss Farber's selection. She is a pretty good pattern detector and a communicator.
Generally I find myself agreeing with John's reactions, but not to this case. I get ruffled when there is a political mushroom cloud forming and folks are obsessed with really trashy movies or millionaire football players. I just think John's gun went off a bit early as he pulled it from the holster. It is late. He needed a rest., perhaps. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Mr. Whitlock, I started to review the Hayes Code. Gee, I will gladly be corrected, but please forgive me but I think from what I can determine upon a cursory scan --- I think you may have [a take] on the Hayes Code [that is] upside down.
Please, specify how you see the Hayes Code as brainwashing the West. It would seem to me that it was exactly the opposite and that the pernicious undermining of Western culture came with the abandoning of this production code.
superb recommendation--i just finished watching--reminiscent of the Carnegie and Frick bitter rivalry: Meet You In Hell. Celia, this era of evil is kinder with you in it--I so admire your mind. Thank you.

Good morning to Ms Celia and all my fellow SS commenters. It was late when I posted and I was already in bed after a long and somewhat trying day. I guess I'm going to have to give this film a view. I rarely watch black and white TV or films. I remember them from before color tvs and my parents got us a 25" Zenith console color TV when I was about 6 and I was so enthralled by it I swore to never watch black and white again. What a dummy!
Thanks to all of you who commented. I must confess that I didn't completely read everyone's comments. Perhaps I should. Blessings to all on this day that our Lord has made.❤

And that would have been SO painful for us. "They GOT the writer of the TWILIGHT Zone? BY putting us all into The Twilight Zone?"
Exquisite irony. Even more ironic for Noam Chomsky.
And all those “rebel” rock stars selling out. For our safety of course.
yep. look at what scumbags rob reiner and stephen king turned out to be. along with the late night tv hosts.
Just love a great movie. Beautiful photography and great dialogue in a thoughtful, funny, mysterious or uplifting film--just save my seat and pass the popcorn! Saturday nite indeed. Thanks for this, Celia.
Hope you have someone you care for to watch a Saturday nite movie with.

Besides old movies I’ve been enjoying delightful reruns of The Midnight Special. This one hosted by Jim Croce was exceptional https://youtu.be/ZlJTLsc1ofs?si=Z2UJMooSDUtAcDDj

It's inexplicably difficult for people to have that person it seems, these days. Same with me. I believe it's "part of it."

There's as much proof that smoking killed him (or anybody) as there is that the Covid virus exists.

Romcoms or romdrama for me. I never liked Twilight Zone or Monsters but I do like old Murder She Wrote episodes.

David, I would like that. The Christian theme.
People spend way too much time on stuff like this.
Entertainment addiction is hard to break, idolizing stuff like this just complicates the issue.
I sure hope Celia doesn't turn into an airhead like Sasha Stone from too much screen time.
Oh John, I hardly ever watch any movies, have barely seen any—very much not a movie/film person and almost can't tolerate seeing a movie in a theater. PTSD for me has made me very sensitive to loudness, for one thing.
That is surely a relief, I really like your work.
Sorry to hear of your noise sensitivity.
Does that extend to music? That's my work-a-round.

I challenge you to watch the linked interview and then get back to us.
I challenge you to do something pro active and productive instead.

I see humility ranks high on your list of growth.
PS: I am going to sleep now. If you want to continue, I will respond tomorrow.

The media is too influential to be ignored. Considering the Hollywood Hayes Act was drafted by a Jesuit priest, it's interesting to follow their
plan unfold for brainwashing the west.

Both items suggest to me we live in the ruins of a great civilization.
Thanks for posting this. I had remembered the film title from reading Serling’s wiki page but hadn’t seen it. Just watched it. Good film.

There's so much in this film. I will address what I found in it, in a later post.
