Truly a hilarious movie, made all the more disturbing by the Lead Vampire Chick's complete LACK OF EYEBROWS.

It's unlikely that the show will ever "feature" a companion from the extended universe, but a shout-out would be sufficient. Moffat is such a DW nerd that he should be familiar with them already. Just a passing reference that the Doctor makes to Bernice Summerfield or Iris Wildthyme would be enough to make a million…
My 16-month old blonde baby girl is growing so quickly, it seems that she can't go for an hour without demanding another meal. Whenever we've been in the car longer than the appointed hour, she lets us know frequently and definitively. I often find myself using this phrase to commiserate with her.
When I was younger and worked at a phone bank, there was a guy there named Dave Ross. He had never seen or even heard of Doctor Who, so he just didn't understand why my friends and I would always crack up when we heard his name.
I started smoking the day I turned 18. I guess I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about, and why my parents and so many of my older friends did it. A couple of years later I finally "came out" to my folks and admitted that I was a smoker and started lighting up in front of them. When my mom saw that I was…
I call Bullshit on this. I don't expect to see any of the Davies-era companions again, with the possible exception of Captain Jack. And that only because he was a Moffat character in the first place!
VERY pleased to see World War Z on this list. It really blew me away in the way that it transcended the typical zombie-genre story with its... authenticity, for lack of a better word.
Tell me about it! The frakking Xanth series was on there, but no Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser? For shame!
Just listening to her talk makes me melt. Welsh has got to be the sexiest accent on Planet Earth. ("blaned ddaear"? Did I get that right?)
So say we all.
If we're gonna do this, let's do it right.
The Riverview Theater in Minneapolis holds an annual Can't Stop the Serenity event, but I don't think it too bloody likely that Joss would venture into "flyover land" to attend it.
You're making the right choice. I am a devoted fanatic of Fritz Leiber, and I still thought that "The Big Time" totally sucked. You can't win 'em all, it seems.
There have been criticisms of the movie, saying that it was merely "in the style of" Naked Lunch, and had little to do with the actual book. I remember right around when the movie was being released that I read a fantastic quote somewhere, can't remember if it was Kronenberg himself or perhaps just a producer working…
My wife has informed me that since "SNOWPOCALYPSE" is soooo 2009, this year's Minnesota winter shall be known as "SNOWMYGOD WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!"
@adamshaftoe: Yep. And I rank Leiber as one of my top-five all-time favorite authors. I was actually amazed at how dull it was. I don't remember it much, except that there was one bit near the end where he tricked us into thinking we were about to have some actual action, but then - nope - just more talky-talky!
@adamshaftoe: Completely agree. I finished reading that book while sitting in the park one day, and I just left it there on the bench and walked away.
@cadrina: If Immortal Adric and Captain Jack were trapped in a volcano for millions of years... I kinda think that the strenuous, exhausting activity they'd be up to wouldn't exactly be fighting.
