OMG, bloodsucking aphids!!
He was bitten by an APHID?! Hey, for such a reputedly 'humorless' movie, I'm LMAO already!
OK, I even Googled this just to make sure--yep, aphids don't bite people! They bite plants. They subsist entirely on plant juice. They're basically tiny green plant-lice. And they don't lay egg sacs deep into people's tender postcoital skin--they lay them on the undersides of leaves. Wooo, scary! But it was interesting to read that ants often tend aphids like cattle, even protecting their eggs. See, they can't even do anything to ANTS. And there have been lots scarier movies about ant invasions.
Sounds like it'll be a So Bad It's Good hoot some night on cable.
Thanks for the chuckle.
