Saw this from Ace. It’s a parody of that upcoming movie The Box which has a premise that seems more suited for a half-hour Twilight Zone episode rather than a whole movie. Why don’t we have any half-hour dramas anymore? When did it become the law that all dramas must be an hour long? And why can’t sitcoms be longer than a half-hour? If they want an hour, they have to be at least a dramedy, which means having serious plot development along with the jokes and no laugh track. Not that I like a laugh track. It just seems snobbish that you can’t have a laugh track and be filmed in front of live studio audience and be a regular hour long show.
What was I talking about? See, this is why dramas should try being half-hour long because people don’t have long attention spans anymore.
Oh yeah, this is funny:
It Was a Twilight Zone episode! Or maybe it was Tales From the Dark-side, or Tales From the Crypt, or The Outer Limits … Anyway it was the one with the clever twist ending and a sort of moral. First?
Funny! People are funny! Ha! Funny!
Where’s my box.
I want a box too.
Yeah Frank, that was entertaining, but even more so is:

From the moon to hip hop and back to the moon, Buzz Aldrin.
It was a Twilight Zone episode for sure, further proof that liberals are incapable of original thought.
“Click on the play button of this video…”
“CLICK!!!”
“Wait, I didn’t finish,
you will save yourself $8.50 and two hours of boredom.”
“CLICK!!!” “CLICK!!!” “CLICK!!!”
A few random thoughts of my own:
1. This video is Teh Funny, but you have to be of a certain age and pick up certain cultural references to “get” it.
2. This “Box” movie is clearly a remake of the “Twilight Zone” episode “The Button”. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Button,_Button_(The_Twilight_Zone)) (That would be the 1980s Twilight Zone, not the classic ’60s version).
3. How they could stretch this story out to two hours or so is beyond me; when I first saw this episode back in the ’80s, I thought 30 minutes was stretching it.
4. Did I mention, this satire video is Teh Funny.
5. Hollywood is, once and for all, for the very last time, truly out of freakin’ ideas.
Actually it was an old black and white Twilight Zone episode
Actually, it’s based off a short story called “Button, Button” by Richard Matheson.
?Really?
It seems like every other movie is based on a story by Richard Matheson.
Your mom’s box.. Do you know anything about the story??? They kill a stranger that kills a family member accidently during their death!
