Why aren't they calling this movie Devilvator? Or even better: Hellevator?

"What floor?"

Pixar injected 500 cc's of Ratzenberger into the script.

I'm itching for a non-stupid summer blockbuster film that isn't a cartoon. Inception is pretty much my last hope.

Annalee, nowhere in your article do you address the pending invasion of the Venusian Lobstermen, who will descend upon us at the first hint of a methane-rich environment. If we don't start manufacturing giant rubber bands and orbital lobster traps (surprisingly, super-intelligent spacefaring lobsters are just as easy

The only thing that can redeem The Jensen Project is a spunky Wal-mart greeter robot to provide the occasional bit of comic relief.

Even though I haven't seen the film, I knew exactly which shot you were talking about.

@Sl0th: I had the same reaction with the District 9 trailer. I never got the sense that the interrogation scene would actually be in the film.

Is a fanbolism caused by fanbola? That would be a virus that makes people squee out their nipples.

@RawheaD: Ah man, it was even weirder than French. Plus, whenever they spoke, they made English words appear on the bottom of the screen. What the hell? Don't make me waste my time reading.

This is a potential shame. When I saw Let The Right One In, I spent the whole time shouting SPEAK ENGLISH at the screen. But they never did. Not even when I spoke really slowly and clearly. What a rude movie.

Marc Pellegrino brings that touch of beady eyed menace to any show.

"In 2511 a crack team of soldiers were forced to stand down at Serenity Valley in a war they could not win. These soldiers left the army and bought a Firefly class transport ship. Today, wanted by the Alliance and harbouring known fugitives, they survive as smugglers. If you have some cargo, and no one else can move

@Illundiel: Weber's Ricky Sargulesh was great, but I have a soft spot for Enrico Colantoni going from a disappointed estate lawyer to an angry drunk at the end of his rope. "More pool for me, fuckos".

One thing I like about Warehouse 13 is its considerable restraint in using technobabble or attempts at over-explanation. The show understands that the (almost) inexplicable nature of the gadgets is central to its charm. For example: how do the goggles allow you to navigate the Escher vault? Shut up, that's how. Just

@bonniegrrl: I can't do any better than that comment. Therefore I leave the internet and will my virtual belongings to 4chan.

@Archon Divinus: Big empty houses show up more often than you might think in Moffat-written Who. Most obviously in "Blink" and "The Eleventh Hour", but the abandoned space ship in "Girl In The Fireplace" and the deserted library in "Silence" are extensions of the same idea. I should clarify a bit and say that the

@oliver2: It's like junk food. It'll stop your hunger, and some of it is tasty, but it's not a real meal.

I don't see these elements as tricks or plot devices. Instead, they are compulsions, issues that Moffat must constantly return to. How many Moffat episodes feature young girls who turn out be the hinge on which an entire plot revolves? How often does Moffat use libraries/museums/hospitals/big empty houses as his
