Kosinski’s Oblivion was really pretty good, I’ll be interested in whatever he works on next.

Twilight Zone was Rod Serling, Richard Matheson, Charles Beaumont and a few other key collaborators, All these gentlemen are deceased and the zeitgeist that it enjoyed is long gone. The attempts to resurrect the show were either interesting failures (the ’83 film) or were just plain awful (the subsequent Eighties t.v. reboot and the Forest Whittaker hosted series). And who is the audience for this? Are the moviegoing youth clamoring for it? Just call it something else dammit. If it can’t stand on the basis of its own premise then forget it. This fine show has suffered enough indignities.
