Movie - The Box

[Drunken Durfin]

Just watched this tonight.

Thought I would get on and let everyone who has not seen this total piece of shit not to waste their time. Has more loose ends than a Thai whore house.

My friends maintain that if someone offered me a million dollars to push a button to kill a random person, I'd hit it about a dozen times before said offerrer was finished speaking. I don't care if they only pay you for one.

Wasn't that based off a short story or something like that?

When I first heard about it, I thought it was going to be based off of 100 Bullets.

I was disappointed (or, maybe not I guess) that it wasn't.

I despise this movie.

This concept would make Deal or No Deal a little more exciting to watch... every time they mashed the deal button an audience member get's impaled by a seat spike or something...

[Ryvicke]

It wasn't... that bad. Did you see Southland Tales?

I don't feel like trying to argue for its few merits though so I'll just say that yeah... it's bad.

Yup, ran in Playboy in 1970.

My question would be "If I only take $500K, can I pick the person?"
