Candy Crowley & Twilight Zone episode "Apology"

The Eye of the Beholder (November 11, 1960) is peculiarly evocative in that it serves as a blueprint for his later script adaptation of Pierre Boulle's Planet of the Apes, directed by Franklin Shaffner. In Beholder, the trick is to keep the audience in the dark as long as possible on what the "normal" people actually look like. Ultimately, we discover that the normal people look like very close relatives of Miss Piggy, whereas the "freaks" all look like beautiful movie stars. Our first impulse is to laugh at this nervy, simplistic gimmickry, but gradually an after effect of terror sweeps across the screen as we realize that the pig-faced "normals" actually consider themselves compassionate in even tolerating the existence of the "freaks." We begin to enter their world, their consciousness, their perverted sense of aesthetics. The "joke" is thus not so much on racist bigots, as on "tolerant" liberals.



I posted a message on one of the threads about Candy Crowley reminding me of the episode of the "Pig People from Outer Space".

I don't know the name of the episode but they were not FAT. It had Ellie May from the Beverly Hillbillies in it and they were treating her like an outcast and they had PIG FACES.

What I meant about th episode and Candy Crowley was she treats the DEMOCRATIC PARTY like we are outcast and we should be shunned and sent off to another world.

One person posted that I meant that Candy was FAT. I've never looked at her weight because I don't care about how fat or thin someone is.

I HATE CANDY FOR HER BS ALONE!

I hate her as well for the snarky expression her face takes on whenever she talks about Democrats, her obvious contempt, her slanted and biased 'coverage'.

While her weight has little to do with her lack of credentials as a senior political analyst, one glimpse at the screen will confirm the fact that she is indeed morbidly obese. Stating this is hardly a criticism but a simple statement of fact and not a judgement. If I really wanted to be judgemental, I'd critique her hair (but I won't go there).

She needs a makeover big time on her wardrobe, personality, and everything else big time.

She is one hate filled B*ch and she gives us B*tches a bad name.

has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with her lack of credentials as a senior political analyst.

I have been there and I don't look at someones weight. I have never made a comment on her weight but now that you mentioned it I think that she could get rid of 20 pounds of UGLY fat between her ears.

I'd agree with that last assessment!

BTW, I read your post in the Candy thread that got locked and understood the point you were trying to make (I've seen that same Twilight Zone episode). Some of the other comments some people make on these Candy Crowley threads get my fat hackles up tho.

Françoise

appreciate your message and all the replies. Until you posted it the other day, I thought I was the only one that hated everything about her.:eyes:

:kick:

I know it's mean and superficial, but DAMN!

pound for pound, so I'm not being superior when I comment on her weight.

I have never looked at the nasty bitches weight. She gives us bitches a bad name.
