That is one badass shot of Pellegrino.

@Rumtum: Heat Vision and Jack was actually a great piece of entertainment.

@collex: Shhhh. Michelle's sleeping right now.

@ElimGarak: China sounds like a good bet to me. But I like to think of Al Quaida painstakingly linking bendy straws together and creating a bridge from northern Pakistan to the Eastern Seaboard.

@shan164: Whales just screw everything up.

@ElimGarak: Al-Qaida is building one out of bendy straws?

@Charlie Jane Anders: I figure it's one of those movies where you're on board from the start or you're just not. I might have disliked it myself, had I seen it on a different day or in different company.

Everybody's like, "ah yeah, pain".

I'm reminded of John Varley's Steel Beach. If my memory is correct, incomprehensible aliens show up and kill the hell out of everyone to make Earth habitable for them. No communication, no negotiation. Just a bunch of death. The survivors live on the moon.

I was about to ask where Monsters was. Then I saw it on your worst-of runners up. I'm glad I didn't go on at length about how much I liked that film, because that would have been embarrassing.

@Steven Hart Newport: I took Shutter Island and Black Swan to be films about insane people. Funny, it never occurred to me that they might be fantasy.

A friend of mine pointed that Abigail's song mentioned silence repeatedly. A little shout-out to season six?

@imagine.nation: Sea creatures in space = PC/green sensibility. Okay.

NEITHER ARE PTEROSAURS COFFEE MAKERS.

"Nipples?"

@Daveinva:

@Laconic: Attention whore. By being in the media. And giving interviews. Sure.

MORRIS: I'm in Buffy! Yay!

@Cash907Censored: Didn't it, though?

You know what would be even better? If you added several more teenagers and made their parents a cabal of super villains - a 'pride' of villains, if you will. The teen protagonists discover their parents' secret and decide to run away. The movie would be about a bunch of 'runaways'.
