Watching Twitter tonight has taught me one thing, Phillies fans are a bunch of whiny dicks. But it's ok, every tank needs a bottom feeder.

The idea of memories and dreams being recorded and sold as entertainment goes much further back in Science Fiction than the Twilight Zone episode you cite. I remember in particular a book called Hyacinths by Chelsea Quinn Yarbrow and I think an Isaac Asimov short story that both had as the side effects of the process creeping insanity and general societal breakdown.
I agree with your analysis of the multiple reasons why the movie failed at the box office. I was certainly blown away by it at the time, but find it difficult to watch now. Parts of it seem trite, while others are needlessly brutal. There's too many movies going on at once. (And Juliette Lewis is awful in all of them.)
