15M.  finally glad to see some tracking numbers on it, been waiting for that.

funny thing though last night, my wife comes to get me and tells me she wants to see the film....i gave pause for 10 seconds about all those months of certainty and thought "could i have been wrong this entire time"?  Laughing

You were distracted by Matt Damon's hat. {nm} Was Bar Was Feb 14, 07:40

LOL....corny as hell. but i'm sure is better than it looks. i just don't see it appealing to the masses. {nm} lobogotti Feb 14, 07:42

It's actually pretty decent so it could have WOM legs.... also has some religious connotations that could play up to that audience. {nm} secretstalker Feb 14, 07:42

and having Damon doesn't hurt {nm} lobogotti Feb 14, 08:35

ADJBU makes me think of this episode of Outer Limits or Twilight Zone (I forget exactly) where this guy... eyescovered Feb 14, 07:43

It's very Twilight Zoney {nm} secretstalker Feb 14, 07:49

Wasn't there a Twilight Zone episode with the exact same theme? Could have been Amazing Stories or New Twilight Zone. {nm} GMov Feb 14, 08:05

Probably, but Dick's short story was published in 1954, so it probably inspired the episode {nm} secretstalker Feb 14, 08:52

Yes, exactly. That was what I was thinking. I think it's Amazing Stories though could be New Twilight Zone. Was somewhere in late 80's. {nm} GMov Feb 14, 08:07

Hmmm, you may be right. Anyone know where to find Amazing Stories episode descriptions? eyescovered Feb 14, 08:14

Nevermind, I found them. Still none of them are it. Did I make this show up???? {nm} eyescovered Feb 14, 08:22

I *think* I found it... eyescovered Feb 14, 08:31

i am such a HUGE fan of those and old Twilight Zones....SyFy does a marathon for TZ on New Years every year and I am glued {nm} lobogotti Feb 14, 08:42

Yes! Watch it every year even though we own the complete TZ box set (original series, of course) and eyescovered Feb 14, 08:50

That wasn't it. eyescovered, you definately didn't make it up. I remember it vividly. The guys in black "in between minutes" {nm} GMov Feb 14, 09:34

Exactly. Dang. Wish I could remember!!! {nm} eyescovered Feb 14, 11:50

Funny, I did the same thing. Found the summaries on line but yeah wasn't there. I'm pretty sure it was a Friday night program ~1988-1992 {nm} GMov Feb 14, 13:27

isn't it just like the Observers in Fringe?...even wear suits too...the hats are an added touch though...lol {nm} tealfan Feb 14, 08:53

Well, the Observers in fringe just 'observe'... bloopster Feb 14, 10:24

Looks terribly stupid. Should have been a January release. Matt Damon isn't really a draw outside of Bourne. {nm} HarryWarden Feb 14, 10:23
