Groan! Monday is upon once more. But hey, for many of us there’s another three day weekend coming. (Followed by a short work week, the extra blessing of the Monday holiday.)
First of all, if you want to see a great bad airplane crash–and I know you do–go to YouTube, check for Valley of Mystery (a Peter Graves TV movie), and start watching about 12 minutes in. It’s terrific.
Speaking of terrific, I recently bought the show Neo Ultra Q, a 2013 continuation of the absolutely wonderful Ultra Q TV show. I really feared it would suck, but it’s doesn’t! I have only watch five of the (sadly) only 12 episodes, but it really does a good job of capturing the feel of the earlier series, while, if anything, integrating even more of a classic Twilight Zone feel. It’s pretty great, and my fears that CGI would replace suitmation was unfounded. The show is less focused on giant monsters but is still really good. Best, it captures the way the original show would jump from menace in one episode to whimsy in the next.
