Talk:A Small Talent for War

message: I found 
: his parting words quote the actor Ed Wynn, "Dying is easy, comedy is hard...You might take some comfort in that".
but no one else on the net associates the expression with him. The contributor may have had in mind the confused attribution of that sentence to Edmund Gwenn, about which see talk:Edmund Gwenn#How hard is comedy?. 
I'm changing it, for now, to 
: his parting words repeat the dying words attributed to several English-language actors, "Dying is easy, comedy is hard" and follow it with "You might take some comfort in that".--Jerzy•t 00:44, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Cruel Treatment of Cattle Act 1822

message: Encyclopedia Brittanica lists a different set of animals as those protected by this law (bold mine):
Then, in 1821, a bill “to prevent cruel and improper treatment of Cattle” was introduced in the House of Commons, sponsored by Wilberforce and Thomas Fowell Buxton and championed by Irish member of Parliament Richard Martin. The version enacted in 1822, known as Martin’s Act, made it a crime to treat a handful of domesticated animals—cattle, oxen, horses, and sheep—cruelly or to inflict unnecessary suffering upon them.

thread_title:  Zicree book 

message: That entry is definitely OR, untrue, and unnecessary for the article. To infer from the text of the episode that the asteroid is between Jupiter and Saturn ignores the fact that everything in space moves in relation to each other. The distance of earth from every thing in the outer solar system changes nearly 180 million miles over the year. If the mentioned distance was traveled as an elliptical path through the usual reference frame centered on the sun the asteroid belt could be where the cemetery is.

Talk:Miniature (The Twilight Zone)

message: Performances in series television -- even anthologies like "The Twilight Zone" -- are rarely singled out for praise. But Duvall's performance is of a quality one would expect from a feature film. It is significant that the character is distant and wholly unsympathetic, not the way one would expect the protagonist of such a story to be played. But it reveeals just how unable he is to get along in this world.
I'll try to find a review of his performance so that it can be added to the article. This is yet another example of how the restriction on "original research" can be limiting. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 21:38, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Robert Duvall's performance

message: Although I agree with the interpretation of his performance, I am not a professional critic and would not expect my review to be cited in this article. Likewise, with the aforementioned reviews (posted by fans, and not necessarily peers), they ought not to be cited, as they are not authoritative critiques by professional film or television critics. If they are to remain, then why not cite links to discussions on other forums? Again, while I agree on substance, I think we know these are not acceptable sources. They should be removed until actual literary sources can be cited. --69.124.112.126 (talk) 06:50, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Night Call (The Twilight Zone)

message: I don't know if this is too trivial to include or not, but the telephone used in this episode is a Western Electric 202, which would have been rather out of date by the time this episode was produced.  However, its compact size and ability to be easily picked up were probably factors in why it was chosen for this production.  
Also, a careful look at the telephone handset shows the mouthpiece is misaligned.  This is a "giveaway" that the telephone shown on the table in the living room is also the one used on the bedside table.  
Finally, the sound of the ringing telephone is from a Western Electric 500 set (the standard telephone of the 1960's).  The Western Electric 202 would have had a different "ring."

thread_title:  Disambig? 

message: The article notes that "Night Call" was originally to be broadcast on Friday, Nov. 22, 1963, but was postponed due to John F. Kennedy's assassination that day in Dallas. What the article does not mention is that the night it actually aired for the first time, February 7, 1964, also a Friday, coincided with the arrival of The Beatles on American soil. They flew in, of course, to the former New York International Airport, Anderson Field (better known as Idlewild Airport) in Queens, New York City. The airport had been renamed John F. Kennedy International Airport on December 24, 1963, in homage to the recently-slain president. Two nights later, of course, The Beatles played their first American television performance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" from New York, on CBS, which of course was also "The Twilight Zone's" network.98.227.181.131 (talk) 03:37, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Once Upon a Time (The Twilight Zone)

message: The notion that Keaton’s career declined after the advent of sound may be true, but correlation is not necessarily causation, and to give it emphasis in the way this article does is to rehearse an old saw which has been long debunked, and isn’t supported even in Wikipedia’s article about him. Keaton was at the top of his game when he signed with M-G-M, but it was not the move to talking pictures which stymied him, but the inability to maintain the improvisational process he used to develop his work in his own earlier pictures. M-G-M made him present complete scripts, then work from scripts developed and polished by scenarists, gag men and dialogue writers, each of whom taking it further out of the hands of the star, who then had to watch as directors and editors made decisions to please their producers and department heads. That did for Keaton’s self-confidence, and that in turn led to his drinking and downfall, not sound pictures (he actually tried to use sound for “The Spite Marriage”, and M-G-M refused). Anyone who has seen his talking pictures knows he could deliver dialogue, and even sing, perfectly well. Jock123 (talk) 13:29, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

message: I have not yet found any comparison of  Groundhog Day to Shadow Play but I think there is a relevant similarity. I have also posted a comment to Groundhog Day Talk pages. Maybe someone will add something to the main pages.
I suspect that the Shadow Play writers were referring to the shadow world of dreams but there is no denying that "Groundhog" sees his shadow and Grant relives his own "groundhog day" 32 years before the movie and the phrase took on the meaning of living the same thing over and over again. 
If someone else has made the comparison already, I apologize for not finding and citing the material.  I did several Google searches but did not find Groundhog Day and Shadow Play compared or mentioned together. AdderUser (talk) 04:45, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
