Other Easter Eggs
From Barbelith
Language:
"Most English-speaking people...will admit that cellar door is 'beautiful', especially if dissociated from its sense (and from its spelling). More beautiful than, say, sky, and far more beautiful than beautiful. Well then, in Welsh for me cellar doors are extraordinarily frequent, and moving to the higher dimension, the words in which there is pleasure in the contemplation of the association of form and sense are abundant."
(from The Monsters and the Critics and Other Essays – English and Welsh, by J.R.R. Tolkien [Houghton Mifflin Company 1984)
Humans:
Perfect Tommy
If you want to figure out the man in the red jogging suit yourself, don't read this SPOILER here:
We see him out of the red suit at least once--he's one of the guys from the FAA, keeping an eye on the Darkos because they can't figure out what the hell happened.
Animals:
E. Randy Dupre:
"Hungry, Hungry Hippos" was the funniest line in the film.
The stag heads in Cunningham's apartment are referenced later on in the painting in Kittie's bedroom, seen when we return to the Primary Universe.
To whoever was playing I-Spy... Animals!: there are the aforementioned hippos and stags, as well as Samantha's unicorn toy (Ariel) and Donnie grabbing the toy dog in the psychiatrist's office (linking back to the pet dog that crawled under the porch to die).
