What I Pay Attento to In Movies:
[[A pie chart with a small slice labeled 'plot, characters', and the vast majority labeled 'computer screens shown briefly in the background'. Below, two people are watching TV, one from an armchair, one from the floor in front of them.]]

Armchair: Can we

{{Title text: No way, we gotta rewind and cross-reference this map with the list of coordinates we saw on the other screen. This Greenland thing could be big.}}
