...could be so unfair." Similar silly prose dominates the book, which is an easy read if you can keep from gouging your own eyes out. In addition, annoying quirks like referring to the first chapter as "Evolution One" and Probst as "Chief Jeff" challenge the patience of even the trashiest reader...
Kaufman rightly objected to being called a comedian. But he was, perhaps, a mordant self-satirist, perpetually in touch with, loving and loathing, his inner child, the lonely little Long Island boy, consoled by his obsessive interest in the trashiest manifestations of pop culture.

It was filmed in an impossible two days. But Screenwriter Charles B. Griffith extracted 70 minutes of fast, daft humor from his blending of the horror and science-fiction genres...
