Are you my dad? I've never seen anyone else call him Rod Sterling.

Also, I've never seen the Twilight Zone movie. Is it worth a watch, or will I just be upset that it's a pale imitation to the original episodes, and that a couple kids died in a segment that's not even based off of an old story?

Like Lizard Combatant said, opening is fun and the Lithgow segment is pretty great. But everything else is just boring.

And a couple of years ago I went on a reading spree regarding the incident, even seeing the footage, and it still makes so loving sad when I think about those kids and the circumstances that all made it happen. :smith:

I cannot believe I forgot about that :psyduck:

It is absolutely amazing.

The best thing in the entire movie and I forget it.

Probably because it's mentally shelved under 'Great stuff' instead of wherever the hell I parked Twilight Zone The Movie.

It's been many years, but I remember it being pretty awful. The opening sequence with Dan Akroyd is OK, and the last segment with John Lithgow (the monster on the wing) is good. But the rest is a write off, especially Steven Spielberg's segment - total snoozefest.

It's a shame, I love the anthology format. I wish they'd make a better one.

Slice of life: Some kids once stole a parcel from my friend's mail box, the joke was on them - it was The Twilight Zone Movie DVD.

Spielberg was apparently supposed to do something a little more daring but then the whole accident thing happened and to avoid further controversy he just went for a middle of the road safe segment.

Wasn't he supposed to do 'The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street'? In my opinion the best episode of the original series, and he swapped instead for a really rather crappy one. Probably a mistake putting it second as well since it really grinds the film to a halt before we even get to the best two stories.

Awful is only a word. The reality is much, much worse.


I like the tagline quite a bit.

Am I in the minority in thinking that The Rock is getting too swole.
Every time I see a new picture of him he doubles in size. He's starting to look like a cartoon character. Has he surpassed Arnold in his heyday yet?

Nah, you're right. He's transforming into an actual bear.

At least it makes sense for this movie, though I do agree the "lean" Dwayne Johnson looks better.

The book was really more about the effects of war on people after the fact, but it is also a book about zombies.

I was hoping it'd be more of an ensemble piece, but then it'd have to be 3 hours or in multiple parts. I'll certainly check it out, though.

It's a helicopter that is tilted slightly, there wouldn't be that much force and wouldn't be that hard to stay up right.

Wait, what?
It is a really bizarre thing he's sitting on, whatever it is. I'm not seeing it as a helicopter at all. I also can't tell which direction it's meant to be going, but it's definitely not moving with the rest of those helicopters. Weird.

edit: vvv Gotcha.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

It's not new, but after reading this thread and wandering my local video store, I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this on one of the shelves:

Just...classic. Pasty washed-up white guys with orange flare trying to distract from the awful. Gotta love Colm Meaney's expression.
