(Incidentally, Pavlov got hungry himself during these trials and, to keep himself away from the meat that was to be given to the dogs, invented a filling dessert that has since been called the pavlova. He also got cold during the dog-watching sessions and knitted himself a garment called the pavlover or, in its…

Mayhew's describing her as 'luscious' and 'alluring' were definitely throwing up my creep-alert flags...

Meh. I think the ending was a bit cliche, and there was a weird anti-working class riff going on there, even while the intellectuals ended the world.

While I understand the sentiment...the pedant in me must point out that the San Andreas is a slip fault, not a subduction or ...the opposite. (Having looked up fault names, Wikipedia is now calling those "dip-slip" or "oblique-slip"...which is "bull-slip", but I'm spending too much time on Wikipedia as is, so instead…

Ah, you caught my careful ambiguity!

But it's all explained at the end! (It does take a long time to come together, though.)

You should also do a post about movies you only appreciate in a later viewing. I "got" Big Trouble in Little China when I saw it, but I didn't really appreciate the humor of it — or the fact that Kurt Russell's character is actually the sidekick rather than the hero — until years later.

It looks like Death was building a swing.

I would argue that he's not the one who made it about Chris Kluwe, the guys who opposed him did.
