I thought republicans had been cleared of baby ingestion charges in the US. Or was Nixon really that bad?

republicans eat babies. in fact, i have it on good authority from an splc reporter that republicans aren't even humans and are rather an inferior species

I thought that with all the shouting in that scene it was a bit too confusing to follow both storylines, so I can see how you might have missed it, but the woman who's dying at the same time the gay man is dying of AIDS is based on Terri Schiavo -- she's had her feeding tube removed, and the demon makes the crack about anorexia to try to get yet another soul sent to hell. But then an angel comes in and says the woman is hers and takes her away. To my understanding, that part was either added by Les Freres Corbusier or is optional in the regular "Hell House" package.

Dude, I posted an in-depth interview with the Executive Director of Les Freres Corbusier, sat in on rehearsals and wrote a detailed description of Hell House and its origins the day after it opened. There's a link to all this at the top of my review.

Way to be on top of reviewing Hell House, now that it's been out for over 3 weeks and ends in a few days (speaking of which, good luck getting tix in the last few days). I thought the blogosphere had the ability to report on events in near real-time? Didn't the NY Times and Time Out NY report on this weeks ago?
