Not as original as I thought

Rating: 7/10 (25 April 2000)

I was one of a great many people who saw this movie and were blown away at how original it was.
Then, a few nights ago, while flipping channels, I caught the last five minutes of an episode of Twilight Zone, The (1985). The episode (I've learned after digging a little) was titled "Special Service" and was episode 3.27, airing in 1988. It concerns a regular guy who discovers that his entire life has been orchestrated and broadcast as a cable TV show.
I guess it just goes to show that all of us who thought, "Man, what a Twilight-Zone concept that movie was!" were more right than we could have known!
Grade: 7 out of 10. Good. Worth seeing, but once will probably do.
