I got this summary of a new movie of Alan Rickman's which, according to IMDB, is filming now:
When the American researcher Eli wins the Nobel Prize, he decides to travel to Stockholm with his wife, Sarah and his son, Barkley, an unsuccessful writer. But Barkley is kidnapped by Thaddeus, who reveals to be Eli's son. Now, Thaddeus wants to displace Barkley of its place of "genuine" son. The two sons start a fight that not only involves money but also Barkleys girlfriend, City Hall.
Her name is City Hall? Or did they put a comma where they should've put "and?" That wouldn't be the only grammatical error. But I'm hoping it's her name. I can't decide whether that would be cool or stupid.
Barkley: This ends now, Thaddeus! [advances threateningly]
Thaddeus: Not so fast, Barkley! [pushes a button on a remote control and a woman descends from a trapdoor in the ceiling, suspended by her wrists from a rope over a vat of lava]
Barkley: City Hall! Noooooo!
Come to think of it, they all have fairly dumb names. I don't know how "Sarah" slipped through.
Oh! I thought of another later scene:
Barkley: [is fighting bad guys and has just about finished them off but, unbeknownst to him, a ninja is creeping up behind him]
City Hall: [taps the ninja on the shoulder. He tries to punch her but she ducks and hits him with a frying pan]
Barkley: [turns around and looks wonderingly at City Hall standing over the unconscious ninja] How did you...?
City Hall: You know what they say... you can't fight City Hall!
[they share a hearty laugh]
And that's her catchphrase throughout the whole movie. And it starts out being lame but at least making sense but by 2/3 through the movie she just screeches it at random like a Tourette's patient.
Alan Rickman (who plays the main villain, natch): So, Mr. Barkley, Ms. Hall, I will ask you one more time: where are my detonators?
City Hall: YOU CAN'T FIGHT CITY HALL!
