There have been about four restaurants that have been closed in my neighborhood, all with pretty high scores (NYC has a point system that counts the number of violations). They all opened again within a week or so.
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Honestly, having known pet rats and knowing enough about the habits of wild rats (they're as fastidiously clean as cats) I don't have any associated squick with the idea of a rat who cooks. But I can see why some people would have a little bit of a conceptual barrier to this movie....

There were a dozen or so rats happily frolicking in a KFC, and all the local TV stations showed up to film them. The KFC had passed its inspection a few weeks before. (It's now permanently closed).
Yeah, the way word about that KFC spread I don't think they'd have seen many customers returning even if they'd nerve gassed the place.
I'm not bothered by the theoretical concept of a rat in a kitchen since it's an obviously unreal CGI rat like the ones in Flushed Away. I'll admit to being grossed out by the realistic rat in the cotton candy from those Charlotte's Web ads, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Whoah. Had news of his illness been made public, or is this sudden for all of us?

It's sudden to me - but I may not have been paying attention.

I'm completely surprised. I had no idea he was even ill. Wow.

If anyone is looking for Harry Potter OotP clips, there's a bunch of them here. (Go to the Video list on the sidebar, and after all the interviews, there's the movie clips on pages 2 and 3.) Kingsley, Tonk, Arabella Figg, Mad-Eye, Sirius, Remus, and some really good scenes with the kids (Bellatrix and Neville, Harry sees thestrals, an excellent conversation between Harry and Sirius).
