Great show once again guys. I just wanted to contribute my two cents on two ambush topics
Movie I'd change the ending to - Haute Tension : Most stupid, offending twist I've ever seen. Just take it away and give us a full one-on-one fight bettween the girl and the maniac and you have a classic on your hands.
Favorite restaurants : I would never want to eat in the chinese restaurant in eXistenZ - probably the most grody food ever. The Prancing Pony in LOTR : The Fellowship Of The Rings looks like a pretty cool place to hang out though.

Oh dear lord. Though I wouldn't mind having the weapon Jude makes out of his meal. Except it might get pretty dang rancid.
Oh, you're paying way too much for worms, man. Who's your worm guy?

Could not agree with you more. Also, it is chauvinistic of me to seriously doubt that a 90 pound girl can carry around an industrial saw?

WARNING: This post contains MAJOR SPOILERS for Haute Tension
No, I'd call it realist. Any way you slice it it's not as offensive as saying that this same girl develops a split personality and commits murders because she can't deal with the fact that she's a lesbian - which is exactly what the movie does. It's even worse if you've seen Adaptation wherein the more commerciallly minded brother thalks about a spec script in which the killer and the cop are the same person. He even mentions a chase scene where they run after each other !
