The Doctor - Master of the Obvious?
I nominate the good Doc for being the master of the obvious!
About 25 minutes into the film, the next 10 minutes kill me every time!
1. When Sixpack first disappears and the monitors go nuts with the alarms, blinking "Signal Lost" on and off, and the doctor turns almost to the camera and says "He's Gone". Kills me every time.
2. Right after the above comment, when they're looking at the video feed from the camera on the diving suit and it suddenly turns to snow and the doctor turns around again and says "We've lost him". I know it's coming and it still gets me.
3. When they're looking at the video feed of the sunken ship and the name of the ship comes across and the doctor says "That's Russian." oh, thank God! That backwards N in the name of the ship had me reaching for my Korean/English dictionary initially!
Of course, Master of the Clueless goes to Mr. Cobb. When they first open the safe from the ship and the doctor translates the title of the videotape and Cobb says, "You speak Russian?" I almost want to yell at the screen, "Hey, Cobb, weren't you standing next to the doc 10 minutes ago when he read the name of the sunken ship to everyone in Russian and then translated it?!"
And a special shout out to the dancing 3-D animation of the diving suit on the menu of the DVD. It serves no real purpose but I can watch that thing dance for at least a half hour and never get bored!
