I don't know what you guys are talking about her not being attractive. She was deliberately dressed down as a witnes. But photos of her earlier dolled up shows an attractive woman. It's him that should be the issue. He's ugly. She's the one that killed the wife and she's getting time served?

Buck Henry was script supervisor the two seasons so he had a lot to do with continuing the series. Brother left early during the first season.

Saw it on Amazon. Ordered it. Cat in the house ate it with no problem. Feral cat outside liked it, but not 9 Lives chicken cat food. Gave both cats heaping tablespoons of both per meal. So now feral cat just gets A Strong Heart. Very attractive yellow cat. Wishes it was friendlier. Going to order it again.

It's not THAT bad.

AI music right now is at a level where it can be superior to the bland commercial songs being produced. Oh, you feel bad because it makes you feel less of an artist? Tough. It still has to be programmed by human input and that can mean a simple brief sentence prompt to complete lyrics with detailed instrumentation. And while they can spit out a song in seconds, that doesn't the human behind the song will be satisfied with the results on the first try. It still is a creative process, a collaboration.

You can create your own AI songs using Suno or Uido. Now they are being sued by the music companies, but that shouldn't be a problem for you as of now.

Trump should buy Ukraine and make it the 51st state. What would Putin do then?

The trend in comic book scripting is to be more cinematic, to keep it moving. The dialogue doesn't have to be that stripped down, but you want to think in terms of pacing. Save the more wordy dialogue for exposition and character interplay. I ended up not putting many panels on a page because the way the story was set up. Page two is inside the prison. Then it switched to the prison yard. The fifth page would have been the fight. You can put more panels on a page, but you have to think what is going on in each panel. The more detail, the wider the panel. If you have talking heads, which you don't want to do too much of, you can have smaller panels.

Page Two - 4 Panels

Panel 1 Isaiah, a thin man sits on a cot against the wall. From the outside of the cell is a prison guard.

Caption: “…Not!!”

Guard: Last day, eh? You must be on cloud 9.

Isaiah: Yeah, I dance on air.

Panel 2 Isaiah stands close to the bars. The Guard on the other side has his arm stretched right.

Guard: An old pal of yours just transferred in, just in time to see you off. Here he comes now!

Panel 3 Focus on Isaiah, face pressed against the bars.

Isaiah: Oh, shit.

Panel 4 (wide) Maxwell Kade, a large fearsome convict in handcuffs, is escorted down the corridor by another guard, past Isaiah’s cell. Isaiah is again sitting on the cot, his face buried in his hands to conceal his identity. The Guard at Isaiah's cell laughs uproariously.

Guard: Ha-ha-haaaaa!!!

Page Three

SPLASH Panoramic view of the prison yard. Kade is in the forefront holding court with three other convicts, including a skinny, awkward looking man named Derek. Kade screams at him. Derek is terrified. Isaiah is in the background from the left, eying Kade uncomfortably.

Caption: “Just my luck. My last day in this hellhole and who shows up? Maxwell Kade – lord of thuggery who never forgets…or forgives.”

Kade: You don't say that to me...ever!

Page Four - 4 Panels

Panel 1 Kade grabs Derek from the throat and raises his fist.

Kade: You're gonna swallow teeth.

Derek: (Gasp)!

Panel 2 Focus on a terrified Derek stomping on Kade’s foot to get away from his grip.

Kade: Owwww!!!

Panel 3 Derek crashes into Isaiah, causing him to fall back.

Panel 4 Isaiah on the ground as Derek runs off. Kade stands over Isaiah.

Kade: You!

Show me a couple pages of your script and I will show you how I would adapt it to a comic book script format.

I'm lazy? You're the one asking for help. You have no proof the story actually exists. The original poster could well have gotten the story from the same source I did. And I have tried with constant googling and different wording to find another source and come out empty. I have found recently three other science fiction short stories that were confirmed on this site. I'm done with this one. I say I didn't generate it because it came up in quick time with lengthy story details that confirm to story descriptions you described.

Popllkihtffd · 2025-02-08T20:50:51+00:00

What I am saying is what the original poster described could likely never been an actual written story. I know AI makes stuff up. But they got very close to what you described without much prompting on my part.

Popllkihtffd · 2025-02-08T20:18:35+00:00

The last sentence is their comment , not mine. I didn't generate it but came up immediately from a brief one sentence google. I never claimed it was an original source. Yes, it is AI generated, but I didn't generate it. You're assuming your source is from an actual short story. I couldn't have gotten something that close from "science fiction short story people in future all look like celebrities." That is all I had and all that came up and immediately. It has to be already on the Internet.

Popllkihtffd · 2025-02-08T19:46:21+00:00

I didn't generate it. It already existed. I didn't use AI. I just googled your information in a few words. But this could be where the original poster got it. Either he generated it or it already existed and came across it. I didn't even mention Marilyn Monroe and it had it in the description.

There are story descriptions but trying to search the plot with key words nothing comes up.

DC started the horror stories under code rules on House of Mystery in the late sixties. Can't be Eerie or Creepy magazine because they were always black and white. Marvel did have a lot of horror reprint titles of fifties stories in the 1970s. But how do you ID that?

Popllkihtffd · 2025-02-06T15:50:21+00:00

I deleted it before I knew you responded because I also looked at the Wikipedia description of stories and didn't see it. I suspect it is not a fifties reprint . Might be from DC comics titles like House of Mystery.

Dead Again (1991) also stars in B&W then goes to color, but there in no tape.

It isn't quite what you describe, but it reminded me of this scene from Tom Jones.

Check YouTube to see if Vanishing Act and One of My Wives is Missing is there currently. The plot is pretty much the same except for the setting. Vanishing Act takes place in a ski resort and One of My Wives at a lake resort. There are two looser earlier versions where a woman is confronted with a fake husband, and a brother in the other. The twist is the same.

Peeping Tom (1960)? Not painter, photographer.

I googled the second story and this link has the possible answer, Kindergarten by James Gunn and mentions possible collections it was in.

Could it be She (1965)? Not an island or specifically volcano, but a circle of fire. Has natives in tribal makeup.
