Harlan Ellison (1934-2018) has always been my favorite writer, and we lost him to history recently.  Besides authoring much speculative fiction, in his short stories, novels and screenplays, he was also a movie lover and wrote essays/reviews about some of the world's greatest films (collected in the volumes "Harlan Ellison's Watching" & "...Endlessly Watching").

So, when I came across this anecdote told by comedian Dennis Miller deep into a radio show, with Norm Macdonald tacking on his usual absurdism, I couldn't resist bundling that audio here with some favorite images of mine, that reflect on Harlan's relationship to cinema (from his books, to his famous battles against "Star Trek" and "The Terminator").
