Wasn't there a Twilight Zone episode with the exact same theme? Could have been Amazing Stories or New Twilight Zone. {nm}

RS!! Can they recover after lowballing GNOME? secretstalker Feb 14, 07:30

i have never had faith in ADJBU after i saw the preview, shorted immediately after the first time viewing. never thought it would get past lobogotti Feb 14, 07:37

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

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
