There were more but I can't remember right now.

It's always a bad sign when a film can't secure the rights to a piece of music, but instead of abandoning it they create a legally above board soundalike piece of music. Like uncanny valley for your ears. http://youtu.be/-LvxkaGnNdY

I came to the forum to remark on the alarm thing. Multiple store front windows smashed and no alarms. Not even a silent alarm that alerts the killbots that a specific store has been broken into. Seems like a strange omission considering the insane level of security otherwise. Was this technology not invented yet in 1986?

The watercolour looks to be Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, right?

Maybe on top of all their powers and whatnot they're also afflicted with harmless episodes of sleepwalking, and they just choose to identify with that rather than the cat stuff.

One of my lingering questions is from the rapid fire transformation freakout scene in the car. The first thing he transforms into appears to be a very young boy. Does this mean the sleepwalkers can transform into kids?

I also thought that 'mother' and 'son' were used in the vampiric sense, and that at some point in the past she turned a human man into a sleepwalker. If I remember Buffy and Angel correctly Darla sired Angelus, but they also had a romantic relationship and went to bone town on a number of occasions. But then they were worried about being the last of their species. If they reproduced through 'siring' then they could just go out and make more sleepwalkers. My current position is that they are in fact mother and son, and they show familial affection in ways that seem very sexual from our narrow human perspective. Maybe we should judging these poor animals just for having a bit of innocent mom 'n' son cuddle time.

I'm guessing it had some kind of significance in previous films (which I haven't seen) but that ridiculous jacket made Vin Diesel look like Tom Hardy's Bane if he was a pimp.

Oddly soothing!

Was anyone else impressed by Timothy Olyphant's dick calligraphy? He can pee in the snow in perfect cursive! His dickwriting is genuinely better than my handwriting. Also I feel like this film was trying much too hard to make SSDD a thing.

Or Gerard Butler, once he's under HDTGM management. I feel he portrays anger well.

I'm almost certain the lack of Gilmore Girls S7 was purposeful. Gillies know what I'm talkin bout.

I turned 29 yesterday! One year younger exactly. I enjoy the neatness of that. Anyway, carry on everyone...

This is more moving than the romance in Simply Irresistible.

Weird poultry stuff is really becoming a trope in HDTGM. Did anyone else, in the midst of all the crab discussion, start to find the sound of the word "crab" inherently hilarious? It was like the Gyooby situation all over again for me.

Yep, that one. I also enjoyed that movie a lot, and still listen to the soundtrack. This movie on the other hand... should make for a great episode of HDTGM.

First Day of Camp.

Noah being in high school is on a par with the teenagers in Wet Hot American Summer, age-wise.

I'm partway through The Boy Next Door and it's reminding me a lot of The Guest from a couple of years ago, except I have the straaaaangest feeling I won't enjoy it as much.

Much better.

I remember he was very dismissive of some of the heartfelt and justified criticism of the transsexual storyline in IT Crowd. That was a bit disappointing. But Father Ted is amazing! Very confused feelings. Hate Simon Cowell. Love receiving approval on the HDTGM forums.

Well, hullo there... *knocks back a Glenmorangie, adjusts kilt* Actually I don't think my accent lines up with any of the famous scotspeoples' that people might enjoy.

As someone who's eaten a deep fried mars bar, it was delicious. I'll never do it again.

This was a joy. Great interview, Blake!

Who better to play Ernest than the man of the moment, Idris Elba.
