The Fugitive: Landscape with Running Figures: Part 1 (1965)
Stretching credulity to sub atomic level
Could this be the worst episode ever??!!
There are many things I enjoy about old TV, seeing actors in their green years and being reminded of childhood memories from the old vehicles and location shots.
This episode is shot inordinately on the cheesiest sets in Hollywood. The plot is a mélange of all the worst clichés ever committed to film. The 3 heinous delinquents that terrorize Kimball and Mrs. Lt. Girard are reason enough to fast forward to the next scene.
I remember when 'The Fugitive' ran in the afternoon on A&E network. I've been wanting to see the episode with the shot of the train full of Santa Fe Refrigerated Express cars with the blue doors and icicles painted on them. I'm going to have to be more selective in my disc selection, I don't think I can take to many more of these.
Being There (1979)
So little with so much
It's really annoying watching this on Blu-Ray with no time scale. Like Will's date with 'Fiona in About a Boy', "I knew it would be over, but I couldn't *feel* it would be over" Who is Jerzy Kozinski, and is this his claim to fame? Is this how he got his part in 'Reds'? 5 minutes in and I wanted to smother Chance. Who could listen to his insipid blather for so long? Who couldn't recognize him as simple after 2 sentences? Chapter 30/37. I'm ejecting. Never again. Movies I would rather watch. 'Brian's Song'. 'Horse Feathers', hell even 'Wag the Dog', but I doubt it. Shirley McLaine was in her prime, even Peter Sellers looked good. This is worse than Match.com, why so many characters? I never wrote a term paper in my life.
