Hello eververyone,
I've recently found a new love for a certain Hannibal Lectar, anyone else?
Great show! Visually stunning at times and would never ever eat meat while watching the show lol
Watched the first season more or less and driven by the hype from you clearly mental spastics unfortunately caught the last episode.
How anyone could possibly derive any pleasure from watching Will sink to the depths of depravity is beyond me.
Fuck the fucking fuck off.
That is all.
Awww you guys got Idol's panties all bunched up. :console:Quote:

For the non-sociopaths in the audience I feel compelled to point out that the words "disturbing" and "very enjoyable" clearly don't belong together in the same sentence.
Also,although you obviously won't,see previous Michelangelo/shit analogy.
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?Quote:

Just ran through a marathon of Hannibal movies (all except SotL) and noticed all sorts of refs. :happy:
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. :blushing:
Pre Mads I always preferred Cox's Lecter. Especially in terms of internalizing things.Quote:

I really liked Adam's Apples- even before learning of Mads' career. He plays a part completely opposite of Lecter. Highly recommended.
I'll have to add Manhunter to my list of re-watch titles. Don't remember being as connected to it as I was with SotL. However, it is a necessary watch to make a full, honest comparison. Never been a Foster fan, but credit is due for her Starling role. Pulled it off better than Moore, although I find Moore considerably more enjoyable in other things.
Dancy plays the part awkwardly, but isn't believable in being "different" . Sometimes he's autistic; sometimes he's building relationships. I'm not saying he needs to go full-Rainman, but he doesn't come across as as "awkward" as he's supposed to be. He has done a better job of expressing that than Norton. Fine line, but being so "strange" (Dancy) that he can't fall in love is a stretch. :idunno:
I'd never heard of Adam's Apples--that'll go to the top of the queue. I'd picked up on Mads with the Pusher trilogy and The Hunt flick from last year. The afforementioned totally flew under my radar. Obliged :)
I wouldn't compare Manhunter to Silence. Way more appropriate to do it apples-to-apples with Red Dragon. I find Ed Norton terribly gifted, but he pales in comparison to Peterson. That's not faint praise.
Honestly I've been so focused (enamored) by the Will/Hannibal bromance/coenabling I've kinda lost my objectiveness. I busted on you earlier, but they're pretty great. What the shit--I just learned Dancy is a Brit. That's the second Hugh whose american accent has gone totally undetected by my tin ear. derp.
I dunno if it was mentioned earlier, but Bryan Fuller does these kick ass post-ep writeups with avclub every week: http://www.avclub.com/search?feature...he-walkthrough Really insightful
EDIT: Gillian Anderson gets better looking as time goes on, good lord.

Gillian has indeed gotten better looking with age. She's still no Mads, but she's alright. :P
Manhunter is the first movie adaption of Thomas Harris' novel Red Dragon, the story that precedes The Silence of The Lambs. In many ways Manhunter is more true to Thomas Harris' novel than the later movie adaption of Red Dragon, being a more visceral film, but what is really interesting is comparing the various strengths (and/or weaknesses) of the performances of the actors. For instance, Anthony Hopkins Lecter is a far more chilling psychopath than Brian Cox' portrayal, yet William Petersen captures Will Graham better than Edward Norton and Tom Noonan is a waaaaay more creepy Francis Dolarhyde.Quote:

Now I'm starting to remember some of it. Yeah, very difficult to not be creeped out by this. Let's just say if you find yourself tied up in a secluded place and someone who looks like this is approaching you, you aren't likely to have an enjoyable evening- or a tomorrow. :fear:Quote:

Im surprised this show's level of gore is tolerated on a network like NBC. There's a lot of explicit murder scenes. Good for us though :D
Now I'm left to ponder whether you are actually an idiot or if you are simply given to saying idiotic things.Quote:

I agree, the first season was the best.Quote:

It's a really great show. I am glad that it's highly serialized, unlike so many other shows on network tv. Unfortunately, there aren't many great shows on network tv. Person of Interest is a network tv show that can be great at times and not so great at other times when there are procedural elements involved. Hannibal and POI are the only shows on broadcast tv that I really like. Someone told me that the Good Wife is also great, so I recently started watching it and I haven't formed an opinion about the show yet.
Banes of my internet existence,Shawshank Redemption and Hannibal.:mellow:
Opposite ends of the feel good buddy spectrum, aren't they?Quote:

To be fair the Lecter one is probably less traumatizing then Willie from Duck Dynasty.
Next season Hannibal turns really,really dark.

The addition of Catwoman will take the show in a new direction, I suppose. :idunno:
Good lord they seem to have acquired every license imaginable.Quote:

What the season holds in store (no spoilers)
And good news for Meg.Seems you'll be able to binge watch.Quote:
1) We'll get a little 007-style action in the early episodes.
"I love Ridley Scott's Hannibal, I just think it's such a fun, gruesome movie that kind of harkens back to Hammer films, and it's Hannibal as James Bond," Fuller enthused. "There's qualities of that that we wanted to bring to the first chapter of the third season, which is the Italy-based material."
We're guessing the motorbike and leathers will play a role here.
2) The season premiere 'Antipasto' is all about Bedelia Du Maurier and her years-long relationship with Hannibal Lecter.
"It really does feel like 'What are we watching?' Will Graham isn't in it, none of the other familiar characters are in it, it's just Hannibal and Bedelia and their history over three different periods of time."
3) ... But even in Florence with Bedelia, Hannibal's still pining for the one who got away.
"In that first episode all about Bedelia and Hannibal, there's just a hint of 'Wouldn't this be better if it were me and Will Graham?' in terms of Hannibal thinking that, and what he misses. Because Bedelia will always be Hannibal's psychiatrist, she'll never be necessarily as intimate and passionate in her relationship with Hannibal as Will and Hannibal are."
4) The rumors are true – we're dropping the cuisine-based episode titles for the second half of season three.
Episodes eight through thirteen will all be named after William Blake's series of Great Red Dragon Paintings, depicting scenes from the biblical Book of Revelation. Clued-up Fannibals will know that in the Harris canon, serial killer Francis Dolarhyde is obsessed with this series of paintings, which give his murderous alternate personality its name.
And we've got specifics. Episode eight is 'The Great Red Dragon...', episode nine is '...And the Woman Clothed in Sun', episode ten is '...And the Woman Clothed with the Sun', and episode eleven is '...And the Beast from the Sea'.
Fuller didn't name episodes twelve and thirteen, but going by this pattern we're guessing that twelve and thirteen will be named 'And the Number of the Beast Is...' and '...666' respectively.
5) Worried about Will's dogs? So are we. But fear not – Fuller confirmed that somebody has been taking care of them while Will and everyone he knows are recuperating from the massacre: "We indicate who is taking care of them, without overly answering it... it is addressed in some way."
6) Richard Armitage's Dolarhyde will be treated more like a third lead character than a supporting player in the season's second chapter.
"He is in the show almost as much as Hugh and Mads are in the second half of the season," Fuller revealed. "So we really spend a lot of time with Dolarhyde, in a way that neither of the movies have had the real estate to."
7) Dolarhyde's story will be a true tragedy, developed with more painful psychological depth than season two's gleefully sadistic Mason Verger.
"A lot of what we see with Dolarhyde is just him alone in a room struggling with his insanity. I wanted the audience to be so confused with this character because we get to know him, and we get to see this man who is suffering, from his mind eating him alive from the inside out."
8) Between her troubled patient history and her increasingly treacherous relationship with Hannibal, comedy hasn't been high on the agenda thus far for Bedelia. That's all about to change, in episode six specifically.
"Gillian has quite a big role in the first half of the season, and she's hilarious. There's one episode in particular where she is laugh-out-loud funny, and I can't wait for people to see that because she's just a delight."
9) Hannibal and Will's reunion will be bittersweet, emphasis unexpectedly on sweet.
"There's a scene that is so touching, when they're finally reunited and able to have a conversation. Mads and Hugh and their friendship are such amazing assets to the show, and you see all of that. It's like 'It's really good to see you, but this is a terrible situation that we're in, and you're actually a terrible person, but I've found a way to forgive you in the way you forgive a shark for being a shark'."
So that "I forgive you" we saw from Will in the season three trailer? Probably genuine.
10) Gore-hounds (and gore-phobes) should look out for episodes seven and twelve in particular – those are where Fuller hints that the "freakiest stuff" lies. One scene in episode twelve involving Dolarhyde was so intense that it drew gasps from the crew during filming.
"It's one bit in particular that's from the books, and we see it probably more graphically on our show than you have in any of the movies.
"When we did that scene, you're supposed to be silent when you're watching, but the entire crew gasped and shrieked. So you're watching the dailies and you're seeing this horrible thing happen, and you just hear all these gasps coming from behind the camera, and it's so much fun! It's so disturbing that it affected the crew."
11) If you want to get a sense for how a fourth season of Hannibal would look, pay very close attention to the first seven episodes of season three.
"It felt like a breath of fresh air not being in Quantico, and not having FBI scenes talking about the murder clues. It was so liberating that if we do get a fourth season, there's going to be a lot more of that than there will be anything FBI-oriented. It will probably be our most serialised season thus far, and the first half of season three was really an experiment of 'does this work on our show?' As an audience member and Fannibal, I loved it
Thanks for the heads-up on the start date. Do you know something about the season getting released in full?Quote:
