Review of The Illustrated Man

. . . Serling" are allowed to exercise their inherent tunnel vision and malign a Big Screen offering as prestigious as THE ILLUSTRATED MAN for being "among the worst movies ever made." If Mr. Serling had an imaginative bone in his brain, he would know that EVERY offering from the always eponymous Warner Bros. is carefully crafted by a team of experienced prognosticators to warn America of at least one upcoming Calamity, Catastrophe, Cataclysm, or Apocalypti. Anyone with an ounce of perception can easily see that THE ILLUSTRATED MAN warns We Americans of (The Then) Far Future of the Jonestown Massacre, the Waco Inferno, the Oklahoma City Federal Building Bombing, 9-11, Hurricanes Katrina, Harvey, and Maria, our wars in Iraq, Iran, Somalia, and Afghanistan, not to mention the international debacle when a Minnesota dentist murders Africa's favorite pet lion. Mr. Serling probably complained to his drama professor that the Rosetta Stone was lacking in "plot development." Generally speaking, small screens are infamous for molding small minds. That's why we're perhaps expecting too much from Generations X, Y, and Z.
