I see. Another "fix-it" weekend, like the Lost World/Temple of Doom double-feature. How exciting!

Unfortunately, unlike Master and Commander (as far as I know), Ember was based on an enormously popular young adult novel. The contract for the studio included an option for an adaptation of the sequel book. They had to do Ember first.

In the novel that City of Ember is based on, the city only has enough supplies to last 200 years, so that's when they set the box to open. They don't want people trying to get out and dying. It makes only slightly more sense.

Oh my god, this fucking song. I don't even know what he's saying, but I still cry every time. EVERY TIME.

Reboot the Dollars Trilogy. Shoot them back-to-back and release them within a year of each other. Make them "event" movies. Cast Hollywood's biggest badass to star and get the Coens to direct (after True Grit, I have faith that they can do remakes of Westerns).

Damn! That's another month.

If you do end up doing that, will you stick to the information that Cameron's given out already (it takes place in the ocean, there are other planets, etc.)?

Doctor Submarine, shockingly, is neither. In fact, he doesn't really remember where the name came from, only that it appeared scrawled on his wall one morning many years ago alongside scorch marks and the smell of hatred.

He got hooked on DiF after a Twitter post by a strange man named cinebo, who was raving about the podcast. So he downloaded the most recent episode of the time and gave it a whirl. Who said nothing good came out of Transformers 2?

Doctor Submarine's avatar was chosen because it was deemed to be the closest representation of his physical form. Though the shade of orange is a wee bit off.

He's so tired that he didn't notice that he wrote this entire post in the third-person until now. And he's too lazy to go back and change it. He also owns a guitar that he doesn't know how to play.

His worst injury involves an enormous grill and a horseshoe. Don't ask. Or do, it's a funny story.

The twelfth DVD from the left in his collection (on shelf one) is Constantine. On shelf two, it's Monster House. Make of that what you will.

I don't remember if someone said it in the episode, but Doctor Who gets that right with the Weeping Angels. Very creepy, very effective.

Even creepier, part of the mythology is that the Angels are like Boggarts. No one's ever seen them as they really are, so no one knows what they really look like. It lets the imagination run wild.

Except when they did that episode where you saw them moving, enhanced with CGI. But we can just forget that bit.

I'm never one to jump to, "It's totally because the director was a genius!" but I do think that Kubrick put thought into that sort of thing. Especially if it made you feel ill.

I haven't seen Time Bandits in a long time. I liked it then because, well, it was a wacky and yet somewhat mature kids movie, which I'm still a sucker for. It's one I need to revisit, especially since I was barely aware of who Terry Gilliam was at the time.

I second the "Film Scores" idea. What are some examples of great/terrible ones, what makes a great score, etc.
