THINKING A BRICK WALL
Tonight, on ArsonPlus Entertainment I’m gonna spend a moment typing about … Village of the Damned!
"Good morning. Uh, would you get me Major Bernard at his Whitehall number? Thank you."
It’s 1960 and the small English town of Midwich gets itself mysteriously stopped dead one day, every resident rendered unconscious. Nine months later, the women of Midwich give birth to babies who grow up to be blond, emotionless child geniuses who, we quickly discover, are not entirely of this world. Great suspense, startling moments of violence, and a general air of intelligence, thanks to director Wolf Rilla and writer Stirling Silliphant, adapting John Wyndham’s must-read SF novel, The Midwich Cuckoos (a great title, as cuckoos take over the nests of other birds).
“A brick wall... a brick wall... I must think of a brick wall... a brick wall... I must think of a brick wall... a brick wall... brick wall... I must think of a brick wall... It's almost half past eight... brick wall... only a few seconds more... brick wall... brick wall... brick wall... nearly over... a brick wall...”
Usually I think of baseball. I suppose a brick wall would work just as well.
