Hannibal

Idol if you're legitimately that put off by Will's arc you really should watch the first few episodes of season 2. However counter intuitive and ironic that statement might seem. Also, thanks for making me visualize a Pieta made of shit. I keep picturing a maniac attacking said masterpiece with a hammer.

Speaking of disturbing, pleasure-seekers...anyone else wondering if Oleg ever hired the unsuspecting escort?

This show is pure balls. Plodding, pretentious shite. If I see one more inept culinary metaphor I might just go on hunger strike until the cunts cancel the show altogether.

Pierce you seem to be one of the more astute low IQ types on this site so let me put forth this question to you.If I frequently haven't even the sense to take my own advice,what chance do you think there is that I will ever take yours?

No you're wrong and all that heavy-handed imagery is deep,man,like really deep.
If it wasn't I'm sure they would have been more subtle as the only alternative is that the people involved aren't really that talented and no way am I buying that.

No taste.

I liked the nod to Manhunter with the wheelchair last week. I shouldn't have been surprised they'd end up showing more of Michael Pitt chewing the scenery as it were. Kept thinking of

Just ran through a marathon of Hannibal movies (all except SotL) and noticed all sorts of refs.

I just finally got around to reading all the books. As usual (to me, at least) they're much better than the movies. Although I still really like SOTL.

One of the reasons I re-watched the movies was to get a comparison of the actors playing Hannibal. Think I prefer Mads' portrayal as I tend to see "the monster" as internal. Hopkins made the role, but some of his expressions were over-the-top. Mads is able to express his darkness through actions and cunning rather than having to lash into a vampire-esque attack.

Also think I'm starting to develop a bit of a man crush on Mads.

Pre Mads I always preferred Cox's Lecter. Especially in terms of internalizing things.
I also think Fishburne is miscast. Though he certainly plays the gourmand in a way I could never picture Dennis Farina pulling off.

Hugh Dancy is the dreamiest the most frightening thing is the sheer number of Mads x Hugh tumblrs and fanfic. yikes.
