Movie Summary

Premise

­For 99.9% of this movie, it was a ripoff of Single White Female, and then at the very end it turns into a ripoff of the end of Poltergeist.

Story

  • Probably the most notable feature of this movie is how (Billy) inZane the names of its stars are. Minka Kelly? Leighton Meester? Cam Gigandet? Aly Michalka? Those aren't real people!
  • Aside from that, it's pretty boring.
  • Cam Gigandet's eyebrows @30:25
Elliott: And Cam Gigandet acted mostly with his furrowed brow and his eyebrows.
Dan: Oh God, I hated that guy.
Stuart: Yeah, he does like a James Franco impression the whole time.
Elliott: Yeah, he's a really bad James Franco.
Dan: Eyebrows and smug looks.
Elliott: You want to iron his, his forehead —
Stuart: You want to punch him in the face.
Elliott: — because it's so wrinkly.
Stuart: He's got a punchable face.
Elliott: He does have a very punchable face, yeah.

Episode Highlights

Tangents

  • Dan accidentally talked about lights being in "the tubes of your television", and Elliott started needling him about the anachronism. Then Dan revealed his secret identity: He's Philo T. Farnsworth, the inventor of television! After Elliott pointed out that his voice hadn't changed, Dan admitted that it wasn't a very good disguise.
