    And now, the Parliamentary Report for humans:

    Yeah, she certainly sold a few tickets with some of those revelations.

    Also, Dude, "Shyamalamalamalan" is not the preferred nomenclature. "Shyamalamadingdong," please.

    This seems to be using a lot of the same ideas as Children of Men, and Clive Owen's character in that movie never uses a gun.  So I guess we can expect the main character here to carry a car door and car battery around with him wherever he goes.

    That… is exactly the thought process that went into my joke.

    @avclub-cd1db6bdaab0f94ac28022bf20b6d1a6:disqus I hope your team has to play the Bisexuals in the semifinals- it's hard to beat a squad entirely composed of switch hitters.

    I want at least one cast member to spend all of Season 2 constantly reminding everybody that they have a gluten intolerance, and then when they find out about Hannibal's secret ingredient, they immediately go to the internet to find out if humans contain gluten.  "It's important!  I have an intolerance!"

    Fun fact that I found surprising: Milton never actually calls him Lucifer.  He only refers to his former name being erased from the Book of Life, and is orthodox enough (or sufficiently playing at orthodoxy) to never actually put it in the poem as a result.  There's a few winks where he compares Satan's appearance to

    Well, I skipped breakfast so I'm off to Burger King.

    The great thing about Neal is that he doesn't seem to understand WHY Martin's prop comedy is funny, which makes sense- if you grow up with Martin being a huge stand-up fixture, you don't necessarily realize that his act is subverting the expectations of low comedy, you just think, hey, that weird dance he's doing in

    I'm guessing the nearest Catholic school got the tuna fish sandwich mascot so they could still play on Fridays.

    Freddie Lounds in the book is sexually attracted to women.

    Hannibal also has red eyes in the books.  They are not the most subtle of books.  This is not exactly surprising.

    The worst part isn't even the eye-gouging, it's that after the eye-gouging she starts to crawl away.  Just the psychology of the whole situation- she's obviously going to die, but her body's still trying to escape, even after she has 4-5 metal objects stuck through her torso… gah.  I felt unclean watching that scene.

    Well, Martin is able to imagine more perverted sex scenarios than I can, so it's not even worth writing the ASOIAF fan fiction in the first place.

    "Brandon Sanderson, another fantasy author and a self-proclaimed fan of Jordan’s work."

    Earlier, when he first met her, he thought he was turning Japanese (he really thought so), and now that he has gotten to know her better, he discovers that he has turned Japanese, because this is what happens when you fall in love.

    I hate how much press "Home" gets when "40 Day Dream" is a much better song on the same album that should have been just as big a hit.

    The movie's made $110 million overseas.  Combined with the $70 million domestic, it's close to making back its budget, which, no, isn't great, but is better than people are giving it credit for.
