Does anybody like the movie? I haven't watched it since I saw it in the theater and I remember not loving it and thinking I'd rather watch the original episodes. We were having a discussion in the food forum about peanut butter and somebody mentioned the combination of a peanut butter and pickle sandwich and it made me think of this movie. I could've sworn in the movie the kid ate a peanut butter and pickle sandwich. Am I right about that? that's like the only thing I remember about the movie

I only cared for Nightmare At 20,000 feet and the opening segment with Dan Aykroyd . The other three stories weren't that good. I think the kid in It's A Good Life ate peanut butter something.

I remember the accident that killed Vic Morrow more than anything else whenever I think of this movie.

"Yo she-bitch...let's go!"

Something like that. And the one where older people turn into kids and play kick the can.

IMPO - I actually really like this movie
and bought it a long time ago on DVD

( a few of my big time favorite actors are in this one too !

) .

Of course it won't hold a candle to the original 1959 series
but I usually don't compare these two that way either
because these are both in a different class all by itself as well

.

As for the peanut butter it was actually on hamburgers
because Anthony said it tastes better that way - YUCK !

Thanks so much Jay for your subject post

Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)

Actually this movie version of " Kick the Can " was directed by Steven Spielberg

hmmm....Maybe I should give the movie another look. I actually did tivo it years ago and saved it to a dvd so I actually have the movie. But I just kept thinking, I will watch it after I watch the whole series when I purchase the dvd's. (I've been saying it for years) but I'll get around to it!

So it was peanut butter on a hamburger?

I take back what I said about him not being as evil in the movie. What kind of subhuman monster would put peanut butter on a hamburger??!!!

I believe you answered your own question on that one Jay - a " subhuman monster " indeed

.

Of course I never tried peanut butter on hamburgers
but it just doesn't seem too appetizing to me here either - too much

.

I agree please do give this movie another chance
it might surprise you on a second viewing

.

Although I agree also not every short story was grand
the only one for me that really made very last " on my prefer list "
was the very first short story called - " Time out "
serious subject matter on that storyline

.

The other short stories followed for me in this order

-

1. Prologue: "Something Scary" - ( IMPO - A really effective short story and one of my top favorite actors in this one - Dan Aykroyd

. )

2. "Kick the Can" - ( IMPO - This was a much more sentimental version than the original and was Directed by Steven Spielberg )

3. "It's a Good Life" - ( IMPO - Another good one that had a different spin on it from the original and recurring cameo actor in it Bill Mumy )

4. "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" - ( IMPO - Another good modernized version of this short story and actor John Lithgow
was really good in this one also

. )

5. Epilogue: "Even Scarier" - ( IMPO - Just as good as the beginning prologue with Dan Aykroyd in this one again

. )

6. "Time Out" - ( IMPO -This one definitely makes a serious statement
also a hard lesson to learn about humanity and where it stands with each other

.
Another top favorite actor of mine in it for only under 5 minutes in this one - John Larroquette

. )

Another interesting yet eerie bit of info I read online a couple of years ago
that was on an interview article with actor John Larroquette

.

A long story short - JL mentioned he was to be on set of the Helicopter accident
but that day when he was on the way to go to the set
his car stalled out on the road and wouldn't start up again

.

So with that he missed the appointment
to ride in the helicopter that very day
that was one lucky man there for sure

.

Again thanks so much Jay for your reply

Wow I had forgotten about all that. I forgot Dan Akroyd was involved. I remember the 3 episodes to this. Vaguely. That is really something about Johnny Larroquette. And a tragic horror that transpired as well

I also forgot he was in it too. Thanks for jogging my memory ever so slightly

You're most welcome Jay
so glad I was able to help on this too

.

It surprises me sometimes how much
I remember of this film
( and haven't watched it in along while also

) .

I guess it left quite a most
memorable impression on me
more than I realized here

.

Thanks so much for your reply here too
