Hey, if they live in a 'Verse where they terraform planets, have fusion engines, holographic imagers, and guns like Vera, then they sure as hell can have sprinklers that don't bust out of the ceiling when 100 lb. ballerinas use them to balance between pipes.

And even if it couldn't happen, hell, I wouldn't care! It is a nice twist on the "spread eagle" style you always see in jail in the movies.

Cilantro!

omg, no kidding. I'm really interested to find out why she's wearing a wetsuit, some rain sheeting, computer chips, and one of those little chains that hooks the pen to the desk at banks.

And to the person who asked about the other movies on the list:

1) i can't remember
3) Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy
4) Running With Sicissors (spelled wrong, i know.)(This movie, by the way, is based on a FABULOUS book by the same name that everybody has to read)
5) Ms. Congeniality 2

ShinyMom here,

This was my first post. I didn't know about links and such.
The #1 movie is Fever Pitch, a soccer movie starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon. I've never heard of it.

Also, the magazine just came to me out of the blue. I like it so much better than Entertainment Weekly and not just for obvious reasons.

Thanks for all the extra info. I'm learning.

Look at all the pretties.

Ok, which one of this is not like the others......

I think one of them is 'War of the Worlds'.

Dude, as much as i'm looking forward to that movie, i'm fair sure its not on the list. In fact, I'd bet vital parts of my anatomy to the point.

Fever Pitch is about baseball not soccer. Fallon is an obsessed Red Sox fan who has to choose between the Sox or Drew Barrymore. There's no reason whatsoever it should be listed above Serenity. Silly, silly people.

Now we have to be married. I'm in the family way.

My source *thought* it was WotW, but wasn't solid on that. Something about because it has Tom Cruise, and well..it's Tom Cruise ( what ever that's suppose to mean ) And that Spielberg fella...I hear he's pretty good.

200 days, btw. Yay!

I see a number of people wondering about River's getup. Personally, I thought the implication was obvious, but I'll spell it out anyway. This is all speculation, mind, so take it as you will.

Select to view spoiler:

I'm guessing that the outfit is some sort of medical thing. It looks like teched-out hospital garb, with some Matrix-style plugs at the major muscle groups. Also, note what looks like a fresh cut on one arm, and the general sickly-green hospital pallet of the shot.

I'm guessing this is a flashback to River's daring escape from the "Academy," and that the costume has something to do with the types of experiments being done.

Possibly those "plugs" are electrodes, maybe part of some sort of electro-stimulation (read "shock therapy/torture") of her muscle groups, aimed at increasing strength and motor control. Or maybe they're sensors, similar to the sticker-like cardio sensors that hospital patients are frequently wired up with.

We applied the cortical electrodes but were unable to get a neural reaction from either patient.

OK what is the exact category for this Top 5 list? It's obviously not Best Top 5 upcoming movies. It must be something like movies that might be good, but are flying under the radar or something. Cause there isn't anything that would be main stream blockbuster style on there.

Could be, but here's my $0.02 worth......

Select to view spoiler:

I agree that River's get up looks like some sort of strange patient garb, but a few things lead me away from it being a flashback.

1. The afore mentioned cut on the arm. Not a major wound, but still, that should have still been visible when Mal woke her up out of cryo.
2. She's looking pretty bad-ass in that photo. Makes me think that she's finding out more of what she can do, that her powers are being discovered,which would indicate to me that it's later in the time line, not earlier.
3. Along the same lines as #2, but another point. I don't get the impression that River was all that instrumental in her own rescue. The way I see it, Simon had some 'inside' help,with River having been delivered to him.

Of course, if she IS in some sort of patient wear, and it's NOT a flashback, then the unthinkable has happened and the hands of blueguys have recaptured her, and she's attempting to re-escape. Or something.
