Baltimore City Council in The Wire, anyone?

I was really disappointed that Werner didn't eat the sole of his shoe in that film.

I was hoping this was based on the classic computer game Rogue. Thandie Newton is a great visual improvement over "@" icon.

Someone locate John Swartzwelder!

I know. It's just The Bullet Train had he similar ideas about the train that couldn't slow down or it would blow up. Maybe his dad mixed up the titles.
