Long may our Weird Queen reign

The movie, and novel, are just called A Scanner Darkly, but it’s likely based on the King James Version of 1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see through a glass, darkly.” Ingmar Bergman directed a 1961 film “Through a Glass Darkly.”

Cool World fails because Bakshi had a very specific story planned out (a horror noir set in the world of Dick Tracy/Sin City style crime/detective comics) and the studio mandated that he do a Roger Rabbit knock-off.

Animation for adults is good when applied correctly. Compare something like Who Framed Roger Rabbit to Cool World - very similar premise, both made for a decidedly not kid audience, but Cool World fails because it mistakes being edgy as being adult.

WHILE IT CAN BE READ THAT WAY, I AM QUITE CERTAIN THAT GEORGE ORWELL, A COMMITTED SOCIALIST, DID NOT WRITE ANIMAL FARM AS AN ANTI-COMMUNIST MANIFESTO. IT IS MORE OF A DESCRIPTION OF HOW REVOLUTIONS CAN BE SUBVERTED, AND ALSO MOST LIKELY ANTI STALINIST.

What, you’re not counting muppet Munch?

damn

Even better — because Homicide crossed over with St. Elsewhere, Munch was a one-man nexus in the Tommy Westphall Continuum.

I always liked how technically, Law & Order, Homicide, and The X-Files share a continuity thanks to that one episode.

An absolute television legend. RIP. 

Ah man, what a shame. Munch is one of my favourite characters ever, RIP

As cheesy fun as the fight music is, his theme for Spock was tragically underrated.

The final paragraph of this story broke my heart.  Thank you, Mr. Fried, for working for the good cause, and I hope it helped ease your grief.

Thank you for helping to shape television’s soundscape, sir!

I really hope they play the Amok Time fight theme at his funeral.

“All rise for our national anthem!”

Hogan’s Heroes?

My god, what will kids have on in the background during sick days after The Price Is Right? 

I live in an airport and vacation in concert and sports venues, so this is not a surprise.
