Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just watched a bunch of Valentine's Day. If I'd, for some reason, had to watch in the theatre, there would have been stabbings and maybe torchings. It was exactly the sort of non-distraction I wanted, but the idea of paying actual discrete money for it? Oh, NSM. So very NSM. It wasn't a rom com, because there was no com. Just lots of people, and variously uninspiring levels of vrom.

A couple things: How did Jennifer Garner's character get back to wherever she got back to in time? She flew to San Fran, and then was in her boyfriend's restaurant in time to concoct a plan to be his server?

Yeah, Matt, you were very right. The gay subplot was all "Yay! Team us!" without actually any of the com or the rom. Lots of hot, though, and well it if weren't a dumb movie for fanfic, you'd have to do all the heavy lifting yourself.

Also, the goofs in the credit sequence were the lamest I've ever seen. I suspect half an hour of Community gets more funny improv/goof material. Fuck, SPN probably tops them with just an ep. And, way to be smug, Julia. Way way. God, I dislike her personas.

Also, Cumberbatch is THE VILLAIN. This is going to be so much fun.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Of course he's the villain--he has a British accent. All movie villains have British accents. Except for LotR and Harry Potter.

All Hollywood villains have British accents.

Unless they have German or Russian accents.

But usually there's a British accent lurking beneath the adopted Russian or German accent. It sometimes seems a Brit or UK actor can't get a job in Hollywood unless it's as a villain, or he has a workable American accent.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Cumbermuffin will be a Romulan surely.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

But usually there's a British accent lurking beneath the adopted Russian or German accent.

Ha, so true! I was just thinking of Rickman in Die Hard.
