why would anyone laugh at walken in dead zone? he's brilliant in that role, oscar nod worthy imo.
walken gave johnny's character a really tragic sense of loneliness instead of just hamming it up in some comic book style performance (which one might expect due to his paranormal "power"... or curse, morelike)

a great movie btw
