I have this episode burned into my brain as it was one of a few 80s Twilight Zone episodes the my dad had taped off the tv, so I watched this, plus the one where the man slowly loses the ability to speak english (to him and us it starts seeming like everyone is using the wrong words for things), and one where a food critic does a bad review of a Chinese Restaurant and is doomed to eternally eat there when he gets a bad fortune cookie.

Yup, that's it for me and the Twilight Zone of the 80s, just those stories, burned in there!

I remember an 80s Twilight Zone episode where there was a necklace that would allow you to stop and start time, and it ended with the main character stopping time a few seconds before a nuclear attack. Freaky.

Yeah the title is very Philip k dick too..>> ^Kreegath:

Honestly, it's more "Total Recall" than "The Matrix".

Wow! Thanks, furry man. Furry person.

I used to love the 80's Twilight Zone episodes as a kid. There's a lot of classics.

For a genuinly creepy one look up "Grandma". Written by Stephen King. I believe the director was someone well known too.

Pretty sure this belongs in 1sttube as well: "This is a collection of TV tribute videos that highlight the incredible creativity..." -- This video is certainly a tribute to Voltron, much like http://1sttube.videosift.com/video/Twilight-Zone-San-Francisco-Why-Is-Everybody-Here is a kind of tribute to The Twilight Zone. I'm not going to put it back in there though.

Dammit people! You are all arguing about JOBS when clearly the issue at hand is that he misrepresented that Twilight Zone episode!!!

Actually I think he might be misremembering the twilight zone (at least if he's talking about the 1980s one which had an episode that sounds almost like that). In the episode, aliens actually land, go to the UN and tell the world that they are disappointed with our stockpiling of weapons of mass destruction. Everyone panics and in 24 hours world-peace is declared. Then the aliens show up and pretty much laugh their asses off after we tell them we declared world peace. They then explain that they were disappointed that our weapons were just so sucky, not that we had them. Basically, they go around the universe creating life and hoping they develop excellent weapons for war... or something like that

I'm perhaps less of a hater than others posting, but really I only feel that Shammy has two good movies and maybe not in the order that everyone else seems to think:

I thought Unbreakable was a bit meh. Everyone seemed to love it, but I have a real hard time with movies that end with text (with the possible exception of historical movies and even then I'm never a huge fan of text as a way to tie up a film). In Unbreakable's case though, I found it even worse because they were glossing over really important stuff. I feel like that movie could have worked amazingly for me if they tacked on another 45 min where Sam Jackson actively became the bad guy. To me he ended that movie right at the point where it got interesting.

Then came Six Sense. It was good, but the major problem I have with it is that it is a two view movie. I never want to see it again. You see it once to get "fooled" by the twist and then you watch it again to catch all the little things... oh look, he's wearing the same set of clothes the whole time, oh look, nobody except the little boy talks back to him, oh look, he's dead. Don't get me wrong, this is one of his two good movies, but I feel like the dependency on the twist is the movie, you remove that and there is nothing really to it.

Which brings me to Signs. I actually think this is his best movie specifically BECAUSE it would have worked great without the twist. The buildup is masterful. The fear of what you DON'T see if perfect in this film. The sound editing and music were fantastic. Mind you, I'm a sucker for aliens, but this movie really pushed my buttons in a good way right up until the end. There was a review I read around the time that came out that really summarized it: this is like Jaws with aliens. You don't see them much for most of the movie and then the last third they are trapped on a boat (house) with the baddies circling outside ready to pick them off. As for the twist, I actually didn't mind it, and I didn't care about the water thing. The only thing that heavily concerned me was that Shammy was suddenly showing an almost cartoon-like dependency on this whole "twist" thing.

And there is where I fall in line with everyone else: it seems like he can't make a movie (aside from Airbender to which he didn't write the fundamental plot) without some sort of hidden twist. The Village, the Happening... again it would have been really interesting to see what he could have done with these movies if he had just played them straight.

It is kind of sad to watch him in this video though. To say that someone "didn't get" The Last Airbender is kinda ludicrous. It was painful on so many levels that I strongly feel he can't hide behind the whole "its for kids" thing. All I have to say to that is: Pixar. Anyone who panders to kids and doesn't challenge them with a movie good enough for adults to enjoy just shouldn't be making movies.

Then again, if Uwe Boll can keep making movies, I'm not surprised Shammy keeps getting bank rolled for his films. I just hope one day he can realize that he has the talent for a good buildup without the need to turn it all Twilight Zone at the end. I feel like the whole world is yelling that at him but he isn't listening...

Last semester, I take some garbage out to the dumpster. On my way back, I am looking down at my phone while following the sidewalk. Side walk turns left, I turn left. Up the steps, turn left again to my door. I open the door, finally look up from my phone, see three people I don't recognize staring at me and think "oh, my roommates have company over. Odd that I didn't notice them drive by". I step inside, shut the door, they're still staring at me, nobody says anything. I notice all the furniture is different and what goes through my head is "wow, they changed the furniture in the two minutes I was outside?" I stand there for what felt like hours trying to figure out what's going on, wondering if I had just stepped into the twilight zone. All of us are still silent, just staring at each other. Then I realized I was in the wrong apartment.


That happens to me all the time... and I don't even have a cell phone.

Sounds like a good beginning storyline for a porno.
