I'm afraid I don't have a reference. I've looked online a few times and failed to find it. I read it was a while (probably decades) ago, and I might now have the specific animals wrong.

"The one constant seems to be some sort of difference that marks a person out as distinctive enough to be somehow not as easily identifiable as other peers." - this.

Cool. How much did that printer cost?

I think the home printers still are. They produce cheap-looking plasticy things that no-one wants to own. Low resolution and one colour. To make anything nice you need a printer that costs tens of thousands of dollars.

It didn't get sorted. It ended with Katniss giving Capitol a public bitch-slap. It was never going to end there. Capitol had to regain lost face somehow.

I'm reading from the UK, where those two characters haven't even met yet.

Ned Stark's death we could see coming a mile off. Of the others, only Catelyn was a POV character, and she's come back. GRRM tends to kill people, but then he also tends to bring them back. I've lost count of the number of times he's done that.

In Firefly, the status of Companions is ambiguous. By the end of Shindig, for example, it's clear Atherton Wing sees Inara as a whore.

A lot of news reports I see (in Nottingham, UK) focus on the fire risks of cultivating the plants indoors.

I love the first film. I'm not sure if this is a worthy sequel. This review isn't promising, but since it comes from someone who didn't even see the first film I'm not going to attach much weight to it.

Yep. There's a period of about 70 years (a human life) which saw the invention of powered flight, cinema, radio, television, computers, nerve gas, nuclear weapons and ended with men walking on the moon. Since then it's slowed down.

It reminded me of how in T:TSCC, Terminators cannot swim.

For me too, The Shining is a rare example of the film being better than the book. The film has Kubric's genius. The book was somewhat spoiled by me having read several of King's other books before hand, and it hard started to seem formulaic. The guy who has a premonition and races across the country to stop it, for…

The way I remember it, The Hobbit is very light and childish at the start, but gradually matures and becomes quite adult by the end. LotR is similar, except the childish part is much shorter - but I'd include the birthday party and the hobbit's journey up until about when they meet Tom Bombadil.

How do you see the relationship between erotic beauty, and other forms of beauty in horror? For me one of the attractions of horror is to see things strange and beautiful. Examples include the face-hugger sitting on Kane's face in Alien, and Pinhead's pins in Hellraiser, neither of which are sexual for me.

I imagine their psychology would be closer to that of the soldier at war.

It's more a type of person than a history of actions. Some murders are one-off events, such as crimes of passion or when people are put under intolerable stress. The crimes of a serial killer have a different nature.

"The precious mayor was a black lab," - Should that be "previous"? I'm not sure. #corrections

So actually you think the Kinect was the best part of the movie, and are only criticising it for being over-used? It didn't come across like that.

In the pilot you can see what they are trying to do. It takes them until ep4 before they start to get good at it.
