The episode with the stop watch is the best. Saw that when it first aired on Twilight Zone. Can you imagine the fun you could have with that thing? LOL!
For all of these numerous actors to hold so perfectly Still! That was amazing! That alone was talent and great directing. Couldn't find an eye blink or a chest breathe. Try that today.
bruh what are you talking about like it's impressive but you can tell they're moving really obviously the most obvious are the music band players at 0:38 the models at 4:06
Michele Ellis And there was also “The Outer Limits,” which dealt a lot with social and political issues, especially relating to the use of technology and power.
Read "The Girl, the Gold Watch, and Everything" by John D. MacDonald, author of the Travis McGee adventure detective creep series. A great novel with this same premise. Predated the McGee series.
Twilight Zone and Outer Limits not only provided the TV's equvilant of Edgar Alan Poe short-stories, but a good, common-sense, moral catechism as well.
A man with a magical watch that can stop time with the press of a button. Too bad he dropped it. Now he can't restart time, unless he gets the watch fixed... maybe. Great episode, Rod Serling was the man!
Created in a time when radio programs still existed with stories that really fired the imagination. Twilight Zone, Very limited in the FX but well made up for by the whole project. From Conception to Directions to reruns Twilight Zone was an incredible composition of talent in the whole Entertainment industry. Now with FX being so real I thought to myself What is the Future of Movies when everything can be a digital studio composition? after a while its so good to just kick back and enjoy a gift from the past that still has value for your mind and spirit.
I know exactly what you mean. I was a kid also when I first saw these episodes, and got the same "tingling" feeling as I watched each of these TZ episodes. I knew there was something I just had to look for out there that these 3 episodes had. When I saw more and more of this in other different shows, I knew there was 'buried treasure' to be uncovered, that is...I wanted to find them ALL, as I got older. And that.....is what started the completest "search" for everything asfr in the media world that I could find (tv shows, movies, books comic books, cartoons, then anime and the internet media network sources). :)
Chris Hirschfeld Good point . Since he is in the Twilight Zone he may do good with time and knowledge but where will he get Twlight Zone tools for watch repair ?
_'Elegy',_ _'Still Valley'._ and _'A Kind Of A Stopwatch'._ Other _'The Twilight Zone'_ episodes with similar "character freeze" elements are _'The After Hours',_ _'Five Characters In Search Of An Exit',_ _'The Trade-Ins'_ and _'The New Exhibit'._
Thank you. But I could be wrong because it's been years. But was there one episode time frozen and there was a nuclear bomb in the sky? I thought it was A kind of a Stopwatch. Which I have been looking for years now. But no Marathon or grouping of the Twilight zone ever shows this class. Thank you.
@@killyourjoy Are you sure it was a _'The Twilight Zone'_ episode? I don't recall any TTZ episode with a nuclear blast in the sky. The episodes that immediately come closest to mind regarding a nuclear blast (though not in the sky) would be _'Time Enough At Last'_ and _'One Last Pallbearer'._ I will try to look into this a bit more. Could it perhaps be an episode of _'The Outer Limits'_ or _'One Step Beyond'_ instead of _'The Twilight Zone'?_
I chortle the 40s actors who were delivered their lines. I winch for the 60s actors who play in front of the stage studios. I cringe for the 80s actors who were grandiose. No acting style is permanent. Remember that.
Hahahahha Rod Sterling was a GENIUS! Way ahead of his time. The guy's stopwatch broke and now, everyone and everything has stopped! He's all alone with all the money in the world.............................and it doesn't do him any good!
subsamadhi It’s just common sense. Think about how footnotes work. In the text, there’s an indicator mark at the end of a given passage (analogous to the misspelled word, in this case). Then at the bottom of the page, a corresponding mark INTRODUCES the correction. That is, it comes first, not at the end.
Elegy is one of my favorite TZ episodes. Rod Serling's imagination was boundless. I was 10 years-old when 'The Twilight Zone' first aired in 1959, and boy was I hooked!!! Every kid I knew was talking about 'this great new show'.
Hi - the stop watch episode reminds me of the later series in 1985 - A Little Peace and Quiet. Basically without giving it all away a house wife has the same power with a object Good viewing Regards George
MANDELA EFFECT = Parallel Shift = Twilight Zone = In the world I once knew, my friends once knew, he was Rod Sterling, now in this universe, it has changed to Rod Serling... .
@@JJSeattle I cant believe it my self ...i am sixty and watched as a kid ..his name was Sterling....this happened just recent....weird ???was i wrong all those years and just thought it was?
nobody did anything perverted !! true fantasy indeed ! lol! I'm just having a laugh it is well pulled off how these bit-actors stayed so still granted they do osme clever editing in some sequences but BRAVO a snapshot from a show that greatly influenced many and my own creative output!! enjoy!
Marc Tremblay , If you notice, none of the actors who are not moving are not on camera for more than 5 seconds or so. And they are trained actors so yes, if they needed to stand still on camera for more than 5 seconds, they could do it!
I like the last one because it combines two of Serling's favorite tropes, the "nobody is moving" one with the 'ordinary guy suddenly starts losing his mind" one. If you took away all the episodes where some schmuck was too clever for his own good... you wouldn't' have many Twilight Zone episodes left.
I thought for sure I'd seen them all, and many times over, but this one right here I do not remember at all! So this is a treat.. Okay wait now I remember it..😊
In the first episode clips, it turned out that the astronauts were on a planet ruled by an alien who thought mankind was too violent so whenever humans landed,he would kill them and pose them in their natural state. Sort of like his own menagerie
@@taoist32 Bullshit ...my friends and family and myself have always said Sterling and so have a lot of people in the comment section....i am 60 and im starting to think the mandela effect is a real possibilty.They are F.....N with our heads for those who can remember.
I'm a huge fan. At least 2 things beckon me: 1st) Extremely hard to find a black actor/actress or character in the original series, following a strong American movies and TV shows trend, that has lasted for decades. 2nd) A long list of masterpieces, reflexive, slow and creeping, awesome scripts, and a fantastic B and W photograph. But, I have also to mention the incredibly good episodes from New Twilight Zone (1985), Wordplay and A Little Peace and Quiet. Greetings from Brazil.
@ramonsobreira8061: Before he was "Sergeant Kinchloe" in "Hogan's Heroes", the late great and very talented Actor and Director Ivan Dixon Played a Boxer in the TZ Episode "A Big Tall Wish."🤔🥊📺B.W.
The guy in the "Stopwatch" Episode was Richard Erdman, who later Guest Starred in a "Wings" Episode where he popped into "Sandpiper Air" claiming that his goal was to fly around the world. As in Magellan's Circumnavigation!😂😉🎤✈🌏📺B.W.
shades of 1959! the music I remember is "Fascination" which played on just about every radio station my parents would tune into in '59-when I was 4 yrs. old!-Tempus fugit!-Michael Brendan Dennehy@0840 hrs.,6 Feb.2018
Yea I remember that one right when you had it made something happened great episode of a brilliant show I watched every episode as a kid couldn't wait till it came on also the Outer Limits
In the "Glitches in the Matrix" stories there are a few about time freezing. In one, two children (around 10) are playing, when the lights go out in their apartment. They look out the window to see if the whole neighborhood is out and everything is frozen. There are frozen people who had been playing basketball. They were so freaked out they hid behind a couch until their mother got home, forty-five minutes later. She entered just as the lights went on again, and when they looked again, everything was normal. In another story (which also involved basketball), a guy was watching his friends play basketball, and everything froze, but only for a few seconds. His friends hadn't noticed anything.
When I watched this the first time it showed, it REALLY creeped me out! The "beauty" queen, everyone "frozen" in movement, down to the dog. Unable to respond, a whole town, except one man.
I used to watch this in 8th grade and I and along with everyone else would hate these old outdated films and now that I’m 18 I finally understand and enjoy them oh the irony lol
The Twilight Zone is exqusit, simply the best tv show ever made, scarey, funny, sometimes very sad, beutifully writen and acted, interlectule and always burns into your memorie and makes you think. Paul Bacchus
Imagine time freezes '"*'*"' * you're on a island **** with everything you need to live like a king with no governments no enemies no watch just a beauty of a dame and a calm nature...
If TV still had shows with some substance instead of propaganda I still have cable TV!! Man I miss twilight zone!! Thank god for the Internet.... Twilight zone marathon coming up!!!
If time stops but you don't, all molecules around you stop oscilating making it absolute zero temperature. You would freeze to death immedeately. Also light particals stop moving which results in total darkness.
Light doesn’t really move the way you think it does. Since photons travel at the speed of light, they are created, travel to where they are absorbed in the same instance from their point of view. You likely could still see.
the episodes 'the masks", the "hitchhiker", and "the real martian stand up" are true treasures. but yes there are many a good episode. "happy with your picture mister" -"wrestling". "its a kookie camera"! "time enough at last" and to all you youtubers, my coin is still on edge. so yes i know what you're thinking. im only a penny fortune machine. so, "thats for you to find out". in the nick of time of course
If you are a fan of 'The Hitchhiker," I highly recommend listening to the original with Orson Welles from the old CBS Radio show, "Suspense!" Just google it and enjoy!
