i mean like....intense detail on seemingly banal topics...

i started watching silence of the lambs and was having a root around the hannibal stuff

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal_(film)

it's just so fucking comprehensive, i can't imagine a regular joe thinking...'people need to know the precise details of this film'

which makes me think that film studios might have people to write them or summit....i dunno

any thoughts? am i just underestimating the determination of the general public?
