It's the sheer open-endedness what makes you thinking... I think the recent movie is by far more predictable... The acting though is horrendous. Both lead male and female characters are grossly overacting their parts. Or, maybe, it was just how you were supposed to act in the 80s?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-15237211501935056142009-11-06T20:12:12.714-06:002009-11-06T20:12:12.714-06:00The Dark Knight paradox suffered from the problem ...The Dark Knight paradox suffered from the problem that you had to trust the Joker that the game was not rigged.

Definitely one of my favs. The episode was based on a short story written by Richard Matheson, the same guy who wrote I Am Legend. <br /><br />I Am Legend was recently made into a movie starring Will Smith. The original novella by Matheson was better than the movie, although the movie was still pretty well done, IMHO. If you look at Matheson's IMDB page, you'll see a few other Matheson stories that have been previously made into movies, or are in the process of being made.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-62855634615383980622009-11-06T08:12:18.710-06:002009-11-06T08:12:18.710-06:00"Here is the offer: If you press the button y..."Here is the offer: If you press the button you will receive $200,000.
