“What is this place?”  It is not as if we haven’t been here before or heard this particular line repeated over and over again in a multitude of movies.  I would have to categorize this sample of dialogue as one of the quite often imitated exclamations of myriad characters who become the mouthpieces of unimaginative script writers.  Call it dependence on cliché, simple laziness or a belated regurgitation of all of the media crap they have ingested over the years but this particular example of puzzled profundity pops up a lot.  Here’s just one example from one of The X-Men movies.  I remember that The Omen (1976) used the term but way back then the line of dialogue was a bit more fresh.

Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any assistance is very much appreciated.
