I Hope Sir Anthony Hopkins will make one last appearance as Hannibal, maybe the last chapter of the story. But there's so much potential to fill in the gaps with other actors. Both the Hannibal rising and the TV series did a good job with that.

It's surprisingly good. Like, Mikklesen makes the character his own, and the show is strange, and has excellent cinematography, and is incredibly violent for a network show.

I was alone in my parent's basement late at night and was completely terrified when Clarice was down in Gumb's basement. I wasn't able to go down there for about two weeks just cause I was so freaked out by that scene. So freaking chilling, and having watched it again recently, it still stands up as one of the most edge-of-your-seat scenes in all of cinema. maskofgojirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18305737005899440472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-37677891026640571872014-06-18T13:40:20.222-04:002014-06-18T13:40:20.222-04:00Thanks man!

Anyway this is the first time I have commented on your blog, I found it just a few weeks ago, and I love every bit of it. It was only like a year and a half ago I started to become crazy about film, and let me tell you, I have only become more crazy with your blog. I have read almost everything now and love it all. In the past few weeks, since I have gotten off of school, I have watching so many great films, many because of the high praise you gave them, I guess I should really say thank you. Thank you.
