Point of order: I believe that Sir Henry Baskerville actually came from Canada, not the United States.

Update: Just looked it up.

I listen to MBMBAM and I apparently missed it entirely. What was the reference?

As someone who read and enjoyed all the Sherlock Holmes stuff in my younger days, the relentless and breathless pairing of Holmes/Watson bugs the hell out of me.

That's true, Salvation did have some really excellent design work crammed into a dull-as-dishwater narrative.

I like to imagine that you are, in fact, throwing batteries at your own family because that's just how Eagles fans roll.

Sarah has something close to the ultimate character introduction in Terminator 2. The lean, cut, menacing mental patient in no way resembles the permed, pink-sweatered waitress of the first movie.

Channing Tatum should thank his lucky stars for his solid comedy chops and sweet dancing skills or else he would be joining those two (?) guys and Josh Duhamel in a Devastator-like amalgam called Bland Beefcake Supreme.

Reese says something to that effect when he's describing the situation to Sarah. Something like, "We had broken into the complex; Skynet was beaten and it knew it."

Very true. Like pretty much the rest of the world I knew the basic premise walking into the theatre at the age of 11 so it never occurred to me at the time they were trying to fool me, but Cameron was playing his cards pretty close to the vest in terms of editing early on.

It's a damning condemnation of Salvation that by far the most memorable and interesting part of the movie is the T-800 fight at the end when they literally fight the CGI ghost of the earlier, better films.

And why I shouldn't I get the money I'm owed because I slipped in your driveway using a lawyer who dresses as a cowboy? Hm?

I feel like the answer to that second question is too obvious to even discuss.

I have no idea what you're talking about. The Fifth Element is schlock, yes, but it's excellent schlock of the highest order.

Call it the Scully Effect after our favourite 25-year-old licensed physician and FBI field agent.

Don't care, don't care.

I assume it was a collective though I always secretly hoped they were secretly written by Alfred Hitchcock.

That would be The Three Investigators. I really enjoyed those.

The Wall ended up really bugging me, probably because of the aforementioned problems in production order. It was in the tenth episode at The Wall was mentioned in anything but the most tiny aside, when all of a sudden characters referred to it with almost apocalyptic portent—like the other side was filled with a…
